No fun at all.....people suffer from those diseases. So there may be a little bit of a trade off. But the end result is that I'm 71 and enjoying good health. And I don't have to take any medications. What's that worth? It's worth a lot to me.

And, guess what? After a period of time you don't miss any of those processed foods. It's the same as when someone stops smoking. At first they can hardly stand to be without a smoke. Then, over time, they feel better and forget about smoking. It's much the same with food.
