  • It's a sad fact that, while you can eat healthy for pretty cheap if you are prepared to spend the time, the processed JUNK is so much easier and often cheaper. Anyone interested in Big Food and their influence on government regulators (Who are supposed to be looking out for us!!!) check out this guy: Dr. Yoni Freedhoff at…
