Food... brainwashed americans depend on the media advertising, not common sense. Nothing has changed with food for thousands of years, its just that in order to make a profit the food "manufacturers" need to sell a "diverse" portfolio or else the stock holders get upset. There are only about 100 foods lets say, the basics grains meats etc, however the food sellers need to have a new product every so often for the stock to maintain its value. How many kinds of bread are there now, coke, etc... milk and eggs haven't enjoyed the vast diversification like everything else. So now the public has zillions of choices, and the media makes sure they choose unwisely.. I eat chiken and fish sometimes, I cook it myself, I eat a vegtable medly of no salt corn, no salt kidney and black beans, diced tomatoes, no salt peas and no salt corn, five cans, no can with more than 3% sodium per serving in it, I cook it for 20 minutes and I season it with Costco no salt seasoning mix. So, I get about 10 meals, for less than 6 bucks and the sodium content is less that 6% per serving. The cave man diet would save us all.. but TV adds would suffer, so the congloms wan't ever go back.

It's up to us to train our kids what's right and what's wrong and from what I see only about 25% of the parents take an active role in giving them the good habits they need to not kill themselves in 50 years, but to have to battle the media for control of their minds is a real challenge.
