Yeah, and they used to say alfafa spouts were good for you. Now they say it's bad because there's a chance of salmonela (sp?). And if you eat too much, you can get liver damage. (Oh really? Like how much is too much? Like a gallon bushel!) Silly. Also was told pickles are bad for you because the vinegar kills the good bacteria in the colon. Wrong!
I remember when health food shops started, the people working there always looked anaemic and sickly.
I remember when health food shops were run by hippies. I just found out that mine is run by Mormons who donated a lot of money to a campaign to make gay marriage illegal. Not a very hippie thing to do IMO. Sucks because now I can't shop there and it's like 20 miles to the next nearest one.
