Yeah, like choosing doctors, hospitals and health care plans to undue the harm done by mindless eating.

That's obviously not what I had in mind. It's odd that you can't think of anything else.

Local organic foods are often much cheaper than their processed, chemically filled and genetically engineered counterparts.

Eating healthy is actually cheaper. The problem is that most people are bad shoppers. Yavanna

Right.  One bag of potato chips will buy several pounds of potatoes, for instance.  Good meals can be made with rice and beans. What are usually expensive are the  fruits.

There is no need to spend a lot of time on this.  It becomes automatic once one learns to notice.

"There is no need to spend a lot of time on this.  It becomes automatic once one learns to notice". It is just above your so-called question.

Pure, white and deadly, I thought it was going to be about cocaine.

It's not important, and people are tired of being preached to about it.

Maybe you can start a thread about mindless eating and how wondersful it is to sleep soundly,  unfettered by "vulgar and self-indulgent to expend much time and effort in thinking about the minutiae of what we eat".  That should be interesting.

Hardly. Eating is rarely interesting. Nor would it be a Hot Topic.
