i agree with you too.

it is the mentality that goes along with eating that is destructive.

rarely to people fast(daylight hours) at least to give thier intestines a break.

there is constant eating, snacking, drinking , and chewing so the intestines are always at work(polips anyone?).

many of the foods that are chosen in the diet are not pure and of beneficial quality.

and then there is constant inactivity. sitting behind a desk, standing in one spot, but hardly any movement.

americans are like the fattest and most unhealthy people on the planet(or something like that).

attitudes toward food in some countries are that of moderation. i mean if a desert nomad can survive off of 3 cups of water a day, how greedy are we? i know people who live by the rule fill 1/3 of the stomach with food,1/3 with water, and 1/3 empty(so as not be handicapped by the fullness of the stomach). i think that is a wise way.
