I want to know my blood type so I can check out the "eat right 4 you" ideas.
Food has changed in interesting ways. True there were some bad pestisides leading up until their ban. Also not EVERYONE used the bad pestisides, hell you could taste the difference often. However it was not until the 1970's that thing like High Fructose Corn Syrup and other heavy GMO things appeared. Around the 1980s it all seem to become standard. Interesting things happened like my father stopped eating chili peppers about the time they turned GMO because he could not digest them, just heart burn. I myself growing up went from eating some vegetables to eating almost none. My parents had no idea they could go get better vegetables, I mean where do you get them, the grocery store right?
When people were our fathers' and grandfathers' age at least some things were true, like an apple was an apple, sugar in anything was sugar etc... They had no reason to question anything, it all just "was". Now just about nothing is what it appears. Consider this, the average price for a hamburger meal in a resterraunt has increased from say $4 to $8 maybe even $10 over the last 30-50 years. Cars have increased from $3k to $30k+. Considering the amazing low increase percentage in food you got to wonder how it is possible. I think the only real answer is for the most part subsidizing and industrial infastructure that means lots of GMO, pesticides, etc...
I guess all in all I see good food good for everyone. It is more beneficial for the world over, and on everyone's personal level they feel better in all ways. When people feel better they persue passions, they are better decision makers, they have the ability to less problematic so they make other peoples life better (like your kids, wife, friends etc). If there is anything to really say it is the biggest joke played on us by the advertising industry it is that there are millions of more important things than what we put in our body to spend money on.
This thread makes me hungry.
