meds much more I know. But there's massive profit in the current food system, and the power and influence of corporations is major. Somehow this has to change, the junk food and toxins in it are damaging people's health and fostering more illness, just look at the dramatic rise in many chronic disorders and conditions. It wasn't like this decades ago. And the processed, unhealthy fast food movement has crept into parts of Europe and other countries over the years.

Anymore iIt takes a good deal of research and effort to obtain healthy food here, I feel like a scientist at times trying to sort through all the info. and learn about ingredients used in mfg. It shouldn't be that difficult or expensive to eat well. Something has to be done and large scale but how and when, esp. given the 40 year free market ethos and politics.

Thanks for mentioning your healthy diet and recovery, congrats, it's inspiring. I'm working on more organics and healthy choices as much as possible. I appreciate the info. and post. Cheers!
