It's Official - Atkins Diet Can Be Deadly
"Ignoramus28710" wrote in message ... In article , motu wrote: "Ignoramus16314" Unfortunately, it is a fairly mean world out there and there is no alternative to actually paying attention to nutrition, as well as ignoring advertising as much as possible. Also, it would be wise to accept a premise that no "overly processed" food sold by capitalists is safe. This is fairly vague but still helpful. "I've always found paranoia to be a perfectly defensible position."~author Pat Conroy Besides, it is not even paranoia, the fact that food selling capitalists go out of their way to deceive consumers is well known. They want our money and not not care too much about our health. So we need to care about our health and our own pockets. A fact of life, something to live with and recognize. I tend to be skeptical of the lastest and greatest food fads and try to eat foods that I can recognize as being in their natural state. Sometimes I buy organics, most of the time I don't because they are not as easily available or they just don't apperar very fresh. But I think you are correct, the less processing, the better. Wow, capitalism has made you rich, yet you continue bashing it. If you don't like capitalism, why don't you give all of your riches away and move to a communist country? The US is a capitalist country and I like it that way. I like freedom of choice. Nobody forces you to buy unhealthy products. It's a pretty cool way to live, imo. Martha |

Brava, Martha!!! Thank you. I found it odd for someone who had gained so much to continually attack that which had given him the bounty. Very strange. Martha |
