I learned to not only eat but to enjoy vegetables as an adult. I've also lived long enough to see artificial sweeteners go from the savior of millions to become the new threat to our health. I believe that processed foods are not good for us, but I don't believe that eggs, coffee, butter, whole milk, red meat, sugar, bread and the occasional processed foods are the pariah that everyone makes them out to be. So much of our health is related to genetics. I have cardiac reactions to all non sugar sweeteners, both natural and artificial that I have tried, until now I refuse to try any more. It is only 20-50 years later that we can judge any of the new trends in diet and food products. Our bodies are much more complex than anyone understands and our dietary needs change constantly with age. The best we can do is try to balance our nutrition based on what we like and what makes us feel healthy, and limit what we know is not good for us. Who knows, 20 years from now they may figure out that all the veggies that we're eating are full of chemicals and micro plastics and that even the organic label is not the reliable option we all thought it was. Maybe not, but no one knows for sure.
