58. That's just ridiculous.

Salads are good for you, provided you don't use those nasty low-fat dressings on them. I make mine with lettuce/greens mix, tomatoes, cucumbers and bacon bits (real bacon), mozzarella cheese and homemade Ranch dressing. Chopped hard-boiled eggs are another ingredient. So good I can't even tell you. People at work used to stop by and admire my salads, and ask me how I made them. I ate a big salad for lunch every day, and was full until dinner time.

Big Agribusiness wants us to eat GMO, over-processed junk filled with artificial colors, preservatives and shit like HFCS and MSG. Then their buddies in Big Pharma can get richer selling us vitamins, diabetes drugs, heart drugs and cancer treatments.

Should salad stuff be part of big farms and shipped all over the world? No. All of that stuff is easily grown in smaller regional farming communities, or even in your own yard (or on a balcony, for that matter).

I'm a believer in lower carb/higher natural fat eating. No "white foods", like flour, sugar, rice, potatoes. Fats such as butter and the natural fat from meats and other foods (like avocados). No artificial ingredients, like preservatives, colorings or flavor enhancers (MSG).
