When did I say that my diet plan is the only way to eat? You made a false assumption. I posted to jimbo what I eat because he asked me. Did I ever say it was the only way?
I have been saying that all along since I have been participating on this website. But even if I didn't, why would you assume that I don't believe that accidents can happen?
I believe it's perfectly okay for me and others to give opinions on what we think is healthy or unhealthy. I believe that's part of what this board is for. That's why it's called "Medical And Health Discussion"
I wish you the same.

You may assume that TV is like any other retirement community, I do not. There are many aspects to being "healthy" VPl, and it isn't always showing lab results that are considered optimal.
What sort of studies do you want done? What criteria will be used to determine health? Why is the developer the "bad guy" so to speak? This community offers lots of activities, programs, sports, community services, things shown to keep people active, healthy and happy. Many other retirement communities do not offer as much.
I do apologize, you have not said your diet is the only way. I've taken some of your words as pontificating and think others may have also.
Time is the true test of what really "does a body good.". Many studies show positive results and those are the ones brought to light. Negatives might not initially show up or if they do, they may be minimized. Over time, a study either continues to prove itself or it is shown that the negatives outweigh the positives.
LL&P, VPl.....I'm starting to sound like a Star Trek movie.....
