Hi Nadya,

It's pretty well known that food in America has too many carbohydrates added in as fillers. When it was determined years ago that 'fat' was unhealthy in American diets, food manufacturers were scrounging around looking for alternatives as 'fillers' in their products in order to provide a fat-free product. They pretty much settled on carbohydrates. No one looked at the different types of 'fat' back then and their effect on diet. Now many dieticians and nutritionists argue that premise (Dr Atkins for one) but sadly what's available as prepackaged foods has not changed yet and will not until changes are recommended from 'acceptable official sources.'

>>I agree that much of the food in America is unhealthy. So, don't eat it. Take personal responsibility for yourself... You should IMO be responsible for your health, not me, through a class action settlement which often creates an artificial 'victim', pays them a decidedly unreasonable amount of monies for being willing to sacrifice their dignity to play the part, and then passes that cost on to others who may well have been making 'right' choices. And really often only serves to line the pockets of trial lawyers.

>>I think people shouldn't smoke and that they should eat a healthy diet. But society has no right to force them to so do IMO.

>That's all true, what you said. But I think, I don't have much of a choice. I go to a regular shop and buy products. Why all of them have supplements, which lead to getting more and more pounds?... I don't think, my problem is only in the lifestyle, I'm living, I believe, it's partially in the "normal" food, I consume...
