The food industry is one major arena, but there's also air pollution, water contamination, etcetera and so forth. While I think it's very important to be mindful of these issues, at some point you have to live your life without over-analyzing every move in your daily routine. It is easy to become neurotic and fearful, but staying happy and positive is much more pleasant (and healthy)!Mary Hallowayhttp://lymphomactivist.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-8221376667860188722010-10-11T00:09:43.282-07:002010-10-11T00:09:43.282-07:00dbdubya, I had a feeling we were kindred spirits. ...dbdubya, I had a feeling we were kindred spirits.

Beans are a legume which is almost a vegetable, therefor beans are vegetables. Meat is protein. Protein is good. Spices are all natural and organic, also good.<br /><br />Cheese - a dairy product and also one of the basic food groups and good for protein.<br /><br />Fries come from potatoes, another vegetable.<br /><br />Chili-Cheese-Fries=health food.<br /><br />Now, if you really want to top it off with a balanced meal, add a chocolate milk shake.<br /><br />Chocolate comes from the cocoa bean. I've already explained the nutritional benefits of beans. <br /><br />Milk - more dairy product. Mother always made you drink your milk for healthy teeth and bones.<br /><br />Milk shakes also have sugar. Now surgar comes from one of two sources, either sugar beets are sugar cane. Beets are a vegetable, and it's another food your mother made you eat when you were young, and mom would never do anything to harm you. If sugar comes from cane, it's also good for you. Were supposed to consume more roughage in our diets. Can you think of anything that would be a better example of roughage than cane? Have you ever seen sugar cane? It puts bran to shame.<br /><br />There you have it - the ultimate healthy meal - chili cheese fries and a chocolate shake.dbdubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462665006132459258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-92068708754351646002010-10-09T22:52:58.221-07:002010-10-09T22:52:58.221-07:00THanks so much, everyone!
