The truth? You mean all those people falling down around us dying of
fruit poisoning? C'mon guys, eat your veggies, or you'll get your
just deserts.
It's an electronics forum, so I can't expect you to know this stuff
like I do, but surely you realize that obesity and inactivity are
major problems? It's estimated that 4/10ths of US prescription costs
result from them:

And with the medicines prescribed--all that money spent--life is
better, but the condition isn't fixed, nor the sequelae avoided. Is
isn't that a shame? Isn't *that* a high price?
You can avoid it just by exercising and staying slim. So let's stop
being silly, shall we?
Best,
