Every week on the news it's another food recall, something else that could possibly kill us. then the researchers; say that the hormones in meats are causing our children to develop faster, come on, I mean my nine yr old granddaughter has breast! I didn't have those until I was 13. I take responsibility for the bag of cookies I eat on occasion, but can I blame it on something in my food? Part of it? Maybe? A tiny tiny bit? lol!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
But seriously, the way our food is made is a TON different than the way our grandparents' food was--even a lot of our parents'. We're eating meat and produce from across the country, and around the world, and we don't know how it was chemically treated; whereas even 50 years ago, produce didn't fly to us--it was trucked in from the closest farms, or grown on your own. At that point, there also weren't frozen dinners, boxed meals, or fast food--a lot of things we rely on...and probably eat too much of.
So, while I don't think we can "blame" the food (darn!), I do think the food has a very real role in the growing trend of overweight and obesity.
