Good observation. I purposely kept it simple because it's all too easy to get lost in the details.

Think a bit. You are concentrating on your passion which is eating healthily.
Yes, but it's more than my passion. Healthy eating is the most important aspect of a healthy lifestyle.

The Villages rent space to restaurants and in some of those we can make wise food choices.
Yes, but if you look at the overall picture, about 95% of the food is highly processed. In many of the restaurants it's all processed. I used to go out with a neighborhood group to eat and most of the time I was lucky to find one healthy item on the menu. Most people, if they eat out often enough, will eventually cave in to other choices, out of bordom.

Some of the researchers eat fast food...I am sure of that, and I am trying to make you smile VillagePl.
I am smiling. Did you see all of those paper-thin young women working on the project? I wonder what their diet consists of.
