Are enough people involved in food faddism for physicians like me to worry about? The answer is “yet.” Estimates of the market for fad foods run beyond $1 billion. And an indication that "health food" items have really caught on is obvious when major food chains add "natural" food sections to their stores. It is, of course, the very keen interest Americans have in nutrition that has allowed food faddism to grow, along with a greater public awareness of the importance of nutrition. When people thirst for knowledge (and especially if there are not answers for all the questions), misin formation can flourish along with the sources of accuracy. And who among us might not fit into one of the categories of people who seem motivated toward special foods? Examples of mm You only Lawn & Garden.

The strawberries are white with blossoms and even have harries the size of my thumbnail. Likewise the sugar peas are blooming as they cling to the poultry netting fence. I’ve noticed a jenny wren is using the house on our meadow fence post and a mourning dove frantically flies off her nest on the evergreen bough near the back porch whenever I step outside. On walks through the woods to see how many dogwood trees we have and which wild flowers are blooming I discovered an enormous hemlock plant which I intend to destroy as it would be deadly to livestock but it has beautiful fem like leaves and hollow red mottled stems. This poisonous plant is the one that killed Socrates. However the plant has 1 medicinal value if used with it bears repeating here.
