So glad my mother raised me on healthy foods back in the 70's. Junk food was so limited. Learned to cook from her, and how to shop. I can't remember the last time I went to the center isles in a grocery store except looking for spices. >.>

It's amazing what you can learn from someone's diet when standing at the checkout. Most of the time it's pre-packaged foods loaded in sodium. The odd time I find someone buying veggies, and I spark up, "Whatcha cooking?" Other's look down to the floor.

Marion _NESTLE_?

Am I the only one who finds it funny that this woman shares a name with a leading chocolate manufacturer?

@superfisto There is no relation to Nestle and it is pronounced more like Nestel. On first blush ... it is abit funny.

[AishahDaGreat]

@superfisto I was wondering about that too...hehehe...I swear I'm moving to the middle of the dessert...lol

you gotta be wealthy to eat healthy. Cancer inducing, sugary Solyent Green made out of processed corn and meat byproducts.... this is what the lower and middle class often eat; while the CEOs of fast food chains eat Lobster with a side of green vegetables.

@FiberMania It's true that most environmentalists aren't concerned at all with real environmental issues. CCD, plastic islands in the oceans, depleted uranium, GMO foods, industrial waste, etc. etc. They want to help fund the elitists they hate with carbon taxes.

The "All Jacked Up" documentary is def the best for waking a lot of people up to the truth about the foods they eat, especially young people. I'm just about to upload it in a lil bit.
