I'm glad to hear that you like spirited discussions because that's what they usuall turn out to be. And, yes, I do like to spread the word about good nutrition.
I think if I had to choose between honey and vinegar, I would definitly choose the honey. Although sometimes I tend to feel as though people will miss the point if I say it too nicely. Sometimes the truth about health just isn't nice. For example, if I say that something causes or promotes cancer, there will likely be some who will not like hearing it. What can I do about that? Some things can't be sugar coated, in my opinion.
P.S. I'd like to meet you sometime too.

VillagesPL, I was thinking about how strongly you feel about good nutrition and the effects of bad nutrition on the body. Maybe one parallel would be smoking. People are free to choose to smoke, it's definitely not good for them, and most people understand and accept the consequences on their own body. But if you have had a loved one die from the effects of smoking, you may express your passion for non-smoking because of your wish to save lives. I am reminded of the new TV commercials that are pretty shocking about the impacts of smoking.
So in that context, I understand and appreciate your postings. Even if just a few people improve their diet, that will also improve the quality of their lives, and imho you will be the silent hero.
