Good for you. Many people, like me, started out with a plant based diet because of a concern for personal health. A lot of people say they only eat the local, grass fed and organic meats but I wonder if that is so when they go to the mainland do they become vegetarians.

Sometimes I agree. It's part of evolution by eliminating the stupid and lazy.

true, but then they create more of a burden on the health care system. Also, seems like much more obese people around, which creates eye pollution. I do agree with you on some level, but would be better if more ate healthier

That was my point. Nutritionist have said over and over that basic knowledge of good and bad foods have been around for a long time and it is well established. It is the usual ploy by industries to try and pawn off their products that muddy the waters. Confusion is the name of their game. If people want to fall for it they are only helping CEO's pocketbooks.

What we don't understand is when to accept it as science. They all backup their claims as "Scientifically Proven" or "New Research Suggests" types of crap.

@St-Sinner Yes, but they always try to hide they are funding the research. My step-son is a pulomonologist [healthcommunities.com] for a hospital in Richmond, VA. For a long time the hospital was funder by Philip Morris. Several years ago a new director came in and cut all their ties with big tobacco, Duh. Needless to say the step-son was glad.

I am talking about us - we all. How we are big suckers and fall for all thinking it is all science. I have seen a tendency in people that accepting science somehow makes them smart. Bad guys do what they are good at - doing bad things. What about us?

@St-Sinner I agree and many scientist also agree. Science is often subjective and not open to debate. Many times the prevailing science is proven wrong or not quiet right. Also, I think it depends on what kind of science. The modern age with cell phones, atom smashers, astronomy and space research have proven to have enormous benefits. Physical science has set rules. The only questions that come up are between theoretical and applied scientists.
