In my last article about how life was so much better 40 years ago, I promised I would even things out and talk about how things have actually improved in past few decades since I was a kid. (I don't want anyone thinking I'm a crotchety old guy.)
So here goes — seven things that make life better now than "back in the good old days:"
1. Healthier choices in food.
Health food has become mainstream. You don't have to go to some out of the way "health food shop" run by "hippies" to get what you need. All the main grocery chains now have entire sections dedicated just to non-GMO, organic food. "Free-range" is now part of our vocabulary. There are entire grocery chains that are dedicated only to offering food that is not loaded up with pesticides and hormones.
Even some restaurant chains (like Panera and Chipotle) make the effort to serve food that is entirely free of preservatives and other harmful additives. Businesses are doing this to respond to popular demand. More and more Americans desire natural foods that are a major part of the answer to the diseases they are constantly fighting.

I disagree with number 1. Yes there are more food choices, but with GMO's and and roundup ready wheat, I think the food isn't quite as healthy as in the past. There so many artificial ingredients and preservatives as well as artificial sweeteners, that are actually making people sick and killing them.
The medical video was amazing.
No healthier choice on the menu at Delmar VFW.
