i dont get it

Is that a question or a judgment? If it’s a judgment, I agree with everybody else – mind your own life; you don’t know squat about what anybody else deals with. If it’s a question, here’s the answer (from my point of view):

1) Expense: Most healthy foods tend to be much more expense than their processed semi-nutritive relatives. That’s fine for the rich or for single individuals that only have to feed themselves, but for middle-class families, it’s just not realistic to rely exclusively on foods that are organic, free-range, natural, and prepared at home.

2) Availability/Convenience: People eat what’s available to them. Not every location is blessed with whole foods store, farmer’s markets, nutrition specialty stores, etc. Also, these things are easier. When you’re rushing around to get through your day, its must simpler to grab something already prepared that stop and cook a meal.

3) Preference/Habit: People like those things. It tastes good. It provides chemical highs that people become accustomed to, even addicted to. In the decision-making process, their preference for certain foods outweighs the known, or potential, consequences of eating them. Breaking eating habits and forming a new food culture in one’s home is extremely difficult for most people.

4) Ignorance/Denial: Some people simply don’t know how to eat properly. Some people don’t make decision on what to eat based on the potential that at some future point, they could develop diabetes, heart disease, etc. Linking an immediate action to a long-term consequence is either impossible or so undesirable that they refuse to make that link even when they’re informed.

I am drinking my ice tea with that evil splenda in it!!! :bigsmile:

hahahahhaha.....too funny

Didn't know there was a fluoride debate. I thought it was needed for healthy teeth. It's been added to the water I've been drinking for over 40 years, but never heard of a debate.

you have to actually look. theirs plenty of debate but your not going to find it on fox or cnn.

No, i get the studies from my wife, the Yale educated Phd in Biology, and they've concluded there are no negative health impacts of fluoride in water. Which studies are you talking about? Again, you are making the claims, you show the evidence.

well good thing i live right down from yale. so what about how some places are trying to get it passed to put lithium in our water. what about that then? got another witty comback or are people going to learn how to grow up and have a debate without taking something personally.

I'm trying to have the debate, but you continue to claim all this evidence as to the harms of "unnatural" foods, and yet you have not provided one peer reviewed study. What does living in New Haven, Ct have anything to do with the expert testimony of someone with a Phd in biology?

just as much as it being yale does. yale is a joke,im sorry.yes,its a godd school but its also a breeding ground for hate.

IKR! Talk about left field...lmao!
