The Worse of Two Evils…

Once again my heart was breaking for the misinformed.  I was in WalMart this morning filling up jugs of Reverse Osomosis Water and there was this couple about in their 60’s comparing the labels of two brands of MARGARINE.  “How much cholesterol?  How much trans fats?  How many calories…”  As politely as I could, I invited myself into their conversation by simply stating “butter is better.”  The woman proceeded to tell me it was for her father and that “they” won’t “let” him have butter, “they” told him to eat margarine instead!  I tried to explain to them that what they were holding in their hands wasn’t even real food.  They said they know, but that “they” said he was supposed to eat the margarine, not the butter.  She continued by saying “if it makes him “feel” better he may as well eat it!

 Butter is REAL food folks!  Eating real butter, in moderation, is certainly far better for ANYONE, but especially those who are ill, than any kind of processed, chemical laden, tub of plastic!  I don’t care (once again) WHAT the ads in “Good Housekeeping Magazine” tell you!  Ideally the butter you eat is organic, but even if it’s not, it’s still not near as harmful for you as margarine.   I can’t even say the word without making a funny face!  I actually think of margarine as a 60’s food – like outdated!  But apparently it’s still selling strong.

 But then what do I know, I’m after all “just” a chiropractor.  I’m sure someone out there reading this right now is thinking to themselves that I should be drinking ionized water as opposed to reverse osmosis water from WalMart too.  And I’m sure they are right – guess our health is a process – just hopefully it’s processing in the direction of better health!  This much I can promise you, I will ALWAYS speak the Truth to you.  Thanks for hearing me out on another edition of Today’s “The Other Side.”  Until next time!
