Article from Scientific American

Just read this article from Scientific American. Over the last 50 years or so, our diets have changed dramatically. From OMGs to hormone injected livestock to highly processed foods, many of the foods we eat can barely be considered food.

Do you think that our diet has an impact on our physical and mental health?
