Greg, Health food is wonderful stuff for those that can afford it. The health food industry has about a 5% market share. Hundreds of millions of people in this country live just fine without it. You can dispute that if you like but there is scant evidence that eating only health food will keep you safe to your 100th birthday. For those that want to, that's fine.... but the facts are that it is a minority opinion.
My problem with health food is more with its adherents who seem to treat it like a holy religion. Heath food is the message from God, everything else is false, bad or even evil. Turn toward the light or be lost for eternity.
This whole Bill 113 mess is rife with that attitude.
I am of the opinion that genetics has more to do with resistance to disease and one's ability to process the variables of our food supply. Interestingly it is very likely genetic modification, gene therapy, which may ultimately do more to aid the average person's survival and long life than stone ground organic anything.

Assume the best and ask questions.
