Dr. Diehl put it best when he said: As a society, I think we are largely at the mercy of powerful and manipulative marketing forces that basically tell us … what to eat.… Everywhere we look, we’re being seduced to the “good life” as marketers define it, but … this so-called “good life” has produced in this country an avalanche of morbidity and mortality [disease and death].… What I would like to see in America is not this “good life” but the “best life.” The best life is a simpler lifestyle—one characterized by eating more whole foods, foods-as-grown.2515
