True but our "expert" class has people so confused as to what healthy living even is that they themselves have to become experts. In addition to being experts on law, finance, education, IT, etc...
Remember those "heart healthy" chart that was posted here a few months back that had "breakfast cereal" amongst the healthiest foods and ground beef and eggs the least healthy?
