I am constantly amazed about your astute observations of the human condition. Yes, change is hard. Buying healthy organic food and cooking it is inordinately more difficult than driving through the golden arches. (Perhaps urgent care should be next door.). I am stunned to see long lines there at 10 pm; the food truly must be addictive. It's certainly not inexpensive either.

When I was a teenager there was one restaurant and a couple of drive in places in our small town. Now it's impossible to count them all. I'm confused that new homes even have kitchens; just a place to reheat take away food? The human body is not the only victim of this lifestyle; families suffer as they no longer prepare food together or consume it together. I have plenty of friends my age (old) that never eat at home. Of course, they spent several days a month at doctors offices.

I could write a book about this subject. Thanks, Karen, for always engaging my brain. I love your thoughtful essays.

Pfizer, the Cosa Nostra of big pharma. Good points. It took me a while to seize control of my nutrition intake and get off the toxic food and pharmaceutical merry go ground but if this old man can do it, so can you.
