We are the world leader in medical costs per person, but we're far from healthy. We're getting grossly fat (obese is the word they use). Old Egyptian Proverb: "1/4 of what you eat supports you, the other 3/4 supports your doctor."

Ketchup Was a Vegetable
Watched "Forks Over Knives" last night. It, and the book it's based on, has a message I needed to hear--again! "If it had eyes and a mom & dad, don't eat it." Eat fruit, vegetables, whole grain. When I stop eating vegan, that's when my weight and blood pressure begin to creep up. NO dairy. Goodbye, dear butter. Chocolate? Pillsbury's big biscuits in a can? Rye bread? I'm just not gonna think about it. I am going to fill my mind with visions of oranges, apples, grapes, plums (not sugar plums), tomatoes, green vegetables, purple vegetables, squash. Fabulous salads. Ripe, delicious fruits. I'm maybe about a third or even half of the way there now, but I can improve.

Okay!!!!!!!!!!! Wet's try! I remember years and years ago when someone told me that in Sweden, they ate healthy "by accident." Why? Cuz here the only thing the restaurants had was coke. There (Sweden) the "coke equivalent" was rose hip tea! It's better here now, but not terrific. Wet's b terrific. Wet's do it.
