Soy products and health foods

Eating healthy is not complicated. Just avoid processed foods, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables (preferably organic), eat more fish and less red meat and eat less sugar and dairy. If you're not going to avoid processed foods, at least try to stay away from foods containing high fructose corn syrup and pratially hydrogenated oils (trans fats).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The majority of people can not afford this kind of lifestyle. Let's see if this spins off into a poor vs. rich, fat vs. skinny topic. ^_^

You don't have to buy all your food organic. Just fresh foods. It's really not that much expensive. Some fruits and vegetables are the exact same price at the health store as they are at the supermarket.

Even still, most people can't be exepcted to cut anything out of their diet or eat better quality food, so really the practical approach to better health for the typical American is probably to just begin including some necessary foods in the diet. We could all stand to eat more non-meat/dairy foods. We should all be eating about 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just bought soy butter yesterday. It's like peanut butter only made with soybeans. It tastes alright, but it's really dry. I guess there is less oil in soybeans. Anyone else ever try it?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
