[Oztrich Boy]

"One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ‘Socialism’ and ‘Communism’ draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, ‘Nature Cure’ quack, pacifist, and feminist in England....The food-crank is by definition a person willing to cut himself off from human society in hopes of adding five years on to the life of his carcase; that is, a person out of touch with common humanity." - George Orwell

Well, to me, personal choice is as about as much a celebration of freedom as you can get. But I do like sharing information, and things that I have found beneficial in my life.

Did Orwell really say this?! Wow! I can attest to the fact that a lot of “health nuts” are invariably out of tune with the human condition (GB Shaw and Jane Fonda being two examples!) And often very joyless people. My mother was a health nut who made the lives of her kiddies miserable with her fear of food. She’s 87, has dozens of health issues, and is STILL eating wheat bran and Brewer’s Yeast for lunch. Feh!
