MU> When I see ads for juicers, I wonder why people would rather drink food

MU> I'm still not aware of any health benefits you get from juicing that you

MU> it's easier to assimilate once it's been juiced.  Because it's diluted?
I like eating too!!  My mom-in-law has reached a point in her illness 
that we have to give her cans of liquid calories, vitamins etc, because 
she just either cannot or will not eat much solid food.  I also love 
juices, and when I am thirsty, I'll go for some juice or water...I don't
like soda pop.
