Penny, I I totally agree. I'll just add that obisidy is one of the most
common high-risk problems in America and the western world. Why is that?
Because we want to take "shortcuts". We use cake mixes, margarine,
shortening, and other products that make our lives shorter.

Perhaps, this being America, there should be choices, but people should
definitely be better informed. People should be aware that, corporate
advertising notwithstanding, choices like shortening and margerine and
hydrogenated vegetable oils, and biscuit mixes, and cake mixes, and all of
those industrial food products with unpronouncable and undiscipherable
ingredients included, are not the healthy choices. Then, I guess, if
people are still willing to put their own health and that of their loved
ones at risk, then we should pass aLONG THE RECIPES FROM THE 1960S AND THE
1970S THAT include the industrial ingredients, but it would be better if
we substituted the canned soups and the biscuit mix and the cake mixes
with reasonably healthy ingredients so that people could learn about
choosing healthier alternatives, substituting butter, and, yes, even lard,
for the hydrogenated fats, and how to choose the foods that are natural,
seasonal, grass, not grain, fed, and healthier than their industrial
faccimiles.
If I could encourage Americans to read only one book during the next
several months, it would be Michael Pollan's "the Omnivore's Dilemma (It's
available from the NLS BARD web site as well as from BookShare)." As
Americans we are bombarded with advertising that promotes so much
so-called food that is just not good for us; it's important to help people
figure out how to choose the foods that are natural, unadulturated,
unpreserved, and, if we send recipes that can do that, so much the
better!!

I don't agree. I think there is a good balance of both. And what may be
"healthy" for some people isn't for others. People have different tastes
and that difference should be catered to. There are enough proposed
"health laws" I think there should be choices.
