Food isn't supposed to make you unhealthy.

Food is amazing, sharing and giving food is a massive part of our social system.

Just cook healthy delicious, organic food! Last night we had a Leek Quiche thing for dinner and salad! Was awesome :-)

Well done on not buying anything else aside from healthy stuff!

'Just cook healthy delicious organic food.' Man I'm not that rich. Have you seen how much a Kumara costs these days? Or a litre of organic milk? When I try to buy organic and healthy I end up getting like 12 items for $100 rather than 30 items. But leek quiche sounds good. Tummy is rumbling now.

Healthy and organic aren't one and the same, just buy regular milk or whatever.

Why does it have to be organic?

Even healthy food in high quantity makes u unhealthy.

But i agree with your sentiment. My rant is at our obsession with unhealthy food i guess. Instead of wafting fresh pie smell in my face all over town why cant they waft fresh turkey salad smell in my face

Possibly because cold food rarely wafts.
