I went back and reread my opening post and I stand by my opinions. If anyone can show me scientific proof that this is America's healthiest hometown, I will gladly change my opinion. Where's the proof? If there's no proof, then it's just an advertising slogan, in my opinion.

I don't believe the paper, although owned by the developer, is intended to be a health newsletter. The Sun simply published a recipe of a resident that people have enjoyed. It was not published as part of a recommended dietary regimen.

To me it shows that they are not being consistent with their stated goals of being (or becoming) America's healthiest hometown. With a lot of hoopla they announced a new health alliance with USF. I am mearly trying to hold them to their word. The Lifestyle section offers them a unique oportunity to show what their intentions are.

The ingestion of those items you list is a personal choice, for better or worse, and is not a reflection of higher or baser instincts. It is exactly that categorization that I find objectionable.

To me it's like advertising to the community (and beyond) that they have no idea what's healthy and what's not healthy. If life is nothing more than a crap-shoot, why did they start a health alliance with USF?
Sorry that you didn't like my choice of words, but to me that's exactly what I believe they did. They tried to appeal to our baser instincts. They certainly were not encouraging us to eat healthier so that we might become America's healthiest hometown.
