 I don't believe we chose to eat less healthy. I do believe the
 quality of what we have available has gone down hill. That and
 the increased stress more time demands our society puts on us.

 Did you get that from Dan Quayle's writings?

 As to gardens...

  My son in law is Turkish. His family was visiting here, the
  first time was maybe 10 years ago. They arrived in Chicago,
  where my family lives. Before coming out here they spent a
  couple days there. First they went to my mother's house. Now
  mostly they communicate through my daughter and her husband, as
  his father spoke little English, and his mother effectively
  none at all.

 While they were with my mother she took his mother out in the
 backyard to show her around. Next thing they knew his mother was
 shouting something in Turkish. They rushed out and what she was
 saying was, "She's rich, she's rich."

  See, my mother had a garden. In Turkey gardens are apparently
  for rich people. At least in the city. Farmers grow food, rich
  people have gardens.
