<\/div>\n
How close are we to a farmers market? My guess is that it’s further. I wonder why we have such drastic health problems … Maybe it’s our genes or the carbs or our blood type — or not. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maybe its that we are coached to believe terrible food is okay and vacuous food is part of a balanced breakfast as long as you grind up a multi-vitamin into it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Maybe it’s that our culture now demands unhealthy food to such an extent that nowhere is immune (up to 107 miles). <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That’s what is sad.<\/div>\n
