I'm not sure I understand. You're doing a paper on the unknown effects of healthful eating and you need to separate the two ("unknown effects" and "healthful eating")? Could you clarify? Hello, Monica. I'm not sure I understand. You're doing a paper on the unknown effects of healthful eating and you need to separate the two ("unknown effects" and "healthful eating")? Could you clarify?

I have heard many rumors about eating healthy but I now faced with the task of seperating the two. I am very unfamiliar with what organic grain fed and other terms used by the FDA really mean if you could post some sites so I can do the research it will be appreciated.

I remember when "health food" was pooh-poohed as something that only "health food faddists" would eat. But things are changing. Now we have trans-fats banned from New York City restaurants. Not that I'm there. It's such a shame. Here we are in Los Angeles, one of the big crossroads of the world where you can get anything, and there are few enough organic restaurants (at least, that I can find). The last time we went to a regular restaurant, it took me a few days until I felt quite right again. That's about enough of that for me. You're right.

It should be named "healthy food." That way, it will be less MISunderstood. Health food has a bad connotation, can anyone say oxymoron! It should be named "healthy food."

I mean, in the last couple of decades, it seems like cancer has become more common. Way more common than when we were kids. Of course, when I was a kid, we weren't eating processed foods (and almost nothing came from a can, except for the occasional Campbell's soup). Not much desert, either. Mom wasn't big on sugar or soda pop. I'm very happy that we've created this website in order to share information with our visitors. I sometimes suspect that, when I mention "organic food" to people, they think I'm talking about "health food" --- you know, unleavened bread and shriveled hot dogs, or something (apologies to those who appreciate that type of food). They don't necessarily know that organic food is food the way it's supposed to be --- healthy and clean. Go figure. I figure it's just an educational step, because we've been mis-educated to believe that all these time-saving processed foods are okay to eat, and that they'll nourish us. But it just isn't true.

I'm very happy that we've created this website in order to share information with our visitors. I sometimes suspect that, when I mention "organic food" to people, they think I'm talking about "health food" — you know, unleavened bread and shriveled hot dogs, or something (apologies to those who appreciate that type of food). They don't necessarily know that organic food is food the way it's supposed to be — healthy and clean. Go figure.
