    astly drilled down further into the "why" for each ingredients rating. One might find it interesting to discover how many ingredients lead to ADHD, Austism, kidney failure, and much worse. The app does a fantastic job at giving context to the "if you can't pronounce it don't buy nor eat it" relating to the ingredients within America's food supply. It's helped keep our family more healthy and might be fun channel to explore, or maybe not, but thought I'd ask.

    Hey Mike / Admin,

    One topic I enjoy learning more about is healthy food: Buying local, growing ones own food, avoiding toxic ingredients, news on recalls and contaminant discoveries: With bio-engineered ingredients, GMO's, unsafe ingredients such as Natamycin in shreaded cheese, or "food colorings" being unsafe for children, reports about Quaker Oats and Cheerios such
    as below, all would be a nice echo to have for discussion within healthnet, if I may make such a request?

    There is a phone app called Yuka that is excellent and may make for a great interactive echo if more download it, scan the food before puttin git in their grocery cart, and it may lead to discussion also.

    I read the article and downloaded the app. I will make sure my wife does the same she
    she is the principle buyer in the family.

    What name would you suggest for the conference area? Something like 'Eat Healthy' ?
    Good suggestion. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Sorry I'm just now seeing this! I should probably add HobbyNet on my WWIV BBS where I only have 2 networks and am actively working on!

    So Yuka is a great app. I think the term "Eat healthy" can be so subjective with all of the fad diets out there. What I learn with the Yuka app is that even those things listed as "organic" or "fat free" are indeed horrible for consumption. There are three things our family has tried to live by to improve our overall health and it has worked to some degree but is getting harder to do:
    1. If we can't pronounce the ingredient nor buy it on a spice isle, why eat it?
    2. Eat real food from local places whenever possible. It's not as convenient but is by far a better value and healthier options. For instance we buy 1/4 of a cow twice a year for a family of 5. It's 100% better than anything I've purchased at a restaurant or store.
    3. Use Yuka to help guide us on making good choices on food to consume that is not loaded with bio-engineered, genetically modified, made in a lab, toxic garbage causing serious health crisis's MOSTLY in America.

    So maybe "Eat wisely?" I dunno. Maybe eat healthy is fine. I think it would be fun to share discoveries on foods we've grown to love and later find out they're horrible for us -- or the opposite obviuosly. Yuka is a really great app at providing alternate suggestions without limiting us to celery and peanut butter :) For instance, Cape Cod Potato Chips are actually rated GOOD! I was pleasantly surprised. Now it doesn't mean I won't over eat the bags suggested daily allowance, but the ingredients aren't poison -- huge win!

    Anyway, yes I'd love to see good conversation and learn from others as we share in the growth of knowledge of eating well.
