Let's not confuse animal rights activists and crazed vegetarians with having a healthy diet. There are many issues here and many controversial topics.


As for me, I see much of the food industry set up like the tobacco industry.

Does anybody really enjoy a smoke anymore? Does any of this pre-packaged crap really taste that good?

Everyone is constantly trying to quit smoking.. Everyone is constantly on a diet..

Low tar cigarettes compared to "low fat", "fat free", "organic" snack food..

The addiction to cheap carbs and corn sweetener is as bad as nicotine. The parallels - if you think about it are amazing.


Frankly, you can eat what you like. Even feed your kids what you like. Just pay your health insurance co-pays and rates based on your lifestyle.
