I can relate to the lady above.......hers was an intelligent post.
You have no way of knowing our friends who were health fanatics and still died of cancer..........nor knowing our son who was born without a groove to support his knee, as per his orthopedic surgeon who told him he would be a likely candidate for "adult onset arthritis".........not all arthritis is caused by food.
You have a very narrow way of looking at things.....sad to say.
We've lived a long life.....had a successful marriage of almost fifty years and raised healthy active intelligent children who are likewise raising their own healthy active intelligent children (our grandchildren).
We always had tons of food in the home and yet these adult kids of ours and all of their teenaged and college aged friends would choose the healthy foods and still do...........they are physically active and world travelers..........not living some narrow life "assuming" what others eat.
They do not eat energy bars. You always insinuate that everyone eats energy bars that is athletic.
How do you know this? Are you psychic?
Rather than energy bars, they eat moderately from all food groups........portion control and choosing wisely what they consume.
Osteo arthritis is not caused by food.
Rheumatoid arthritis is not caused by food. It's an auto immune disease.
Are you a doctor? I doubt it.
You should get yourself a television set for some wider contact with the outside world........and a big glass of PRUNE JUICE.

SC ... I wish your post would be allowed to remain by the Admins. I think it might possibly be helpful if VP could understand how his posts are sometimes perceived by others as disparaging rather than helpful. 'Keeping It Real' wrote a post yesterday in a similar vein and it was deleted.
I think Villages PL has good intentions. I do. He has offended so many readers with his 'one-trick pony' theories. But I think he is genuinely trying to be helpful. I honestly don't think he understands that his comments can be construed as preaching and bragging.
Oh well. We could all use the Ignore function. But I just keep posting the same kind of comments myself, so perhaps I'm also a one-trick pony. I keep talking about a balanced life, about enjoying food and wine in moderation, about how having friends and contributing to the community also can lead to greater happiness and a happier and more fulfilling life.
Time to move on to happier threads. As my mom used to say "Least said, soonest mended".
