I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen. (E.H.)

Five myths about healthy eating - The Washington Post

npr:

A helping of skepticism about the causes of Americans’ poor eating habits — and the effectiveness of political fixes.

This was a very interesting compilation of not so much healthy eating per se, but access to healthy food. Also, I agree with #3 - that it is in fact cheaper to eat healthy than just eating junk food. Unless you’re living off of the $1 menu at McD’s, buying green, leafy things shouldn’t be costing you that much.
