They raised my taxes on cigarettes, let's tax the fat asses. If my unhealthy behavior is taxable, everyone's should be. I want my Big Mac tax!

Only if I were retarded would I pay attention to some scientist before I would pay attention to Jack La Lane who has been promoting the benefits of juicing vetetables & fruits for nearly the past 60 years. How else on earth could a man on his 70th birthday swim the breststroke in the East River in January, towing a barge with a rope in his mouth ? Juicing is the most efficient delivery system for acquiring water soluable vitamins, minerals, flavinoids, enzymes, plant nucleic acids & amino acids. On Tony Brown's Journal aired on PBS TV network during the 1990s, he was interviewing an Australian MD who confirmed that he & his Japanese collegues regard optimum health as having an enzyme to antibody ratio of 48. Having a ratio of 23 would put anyone of any age on their deathbed. So there's not a lot of margin for error.
Enzymes are vital to life. Some 700 different types need to have counts in the millions to accomplish all the life processes of plants, and the humans who eat plants. That means when you eat a peach that's soft but sour, you don't put added sugar on it ! You go to somewhere else that sells peaches, and sample their
produce instead. Organicly grown produce generaly means plant origins not subjected to artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides, all of which destroy the plant's ability to manufacturte the enzymes it needs to live and grow properly. You get what you pay for when you buy the artificialy grown crap that fraudulently passes for whole food The Dutch have outlawed that practice for nearly 2 decades because they also know it cheats people of their health. And if you don't have your health, wtf do you realy have anyway ? Certainly nothing you can enjoy or hold onto for very long. The Dutch are strong & healthy, not sick & weak. Ask a Dutch citizen what they think of American Corporate Farms & Orchards. He doesn't have to be a scientist
either to tell you. He's more likely to laugh and shake his head at our penny wise and pound foolish atttitude. The thought that people should spend their money on frills, and bitch about the essentials is as God damned foolish as it gets. I plan to build my own
greenhouse someday when I'm able.

I agree. We need to provide people with good, accurate info to a healthier lifestyle. Have classes for yoga, Tai Chi, pilates, dancercize, etc... The importance of fresh food and vitamins/minerals role in health.
