yontel,
I have heard the same argument from the ffb crowd – it is not a bt “issue”.
to amswer your question: I usuallt reply that yes it is true that there are those of us who eat more than we should and perhaps even eat the wrong types of foods. Facts being facts we need to eat and we should make healthier choices and eating most foods as directed (meaning in moderation as part of a well balanced diet) do not lead to cancer and a host of other ailments. Cigaraettes, when used as directed – kill. they lead to a whole host of diseases such as lung cancer, gum cancer, tongue cancer, other respitory problems and other circulatory problems. it is the only product that I can think of that when used as directed has such dire consequences.
