I love Whole Foods and know they're a great resource for finding food that it all natural and preservative free. In an attempt to eat healthier and cut as much Gluten out of my diet I went to Whole Foods today because they carry Gluten-Free products. When I started walking up and down isles looking at what items they carry that are Gluten-Free (they have everything) my chin hit the floor. Now I do understand that you pay extra for specialty food but Gluten-Free products are double the price of their normal merchandise.
Which brings me to the point of this blog. If our current government wants to help with the health care of our population lets give more tax cuts to the food manufacturers to cut their costs. If junk food is so cheap and eating healthy is to expensive why not have the government charge more for junk food and less for healthy food? This is a great way to get our country eating right first so we’re not full of preservatives and/or fat. I believe that if the government took an interest in the basic health of the country first then the cost of healthcare would more than likely go down.
What are your thoughts?

You'd think they would do that, but someone has been greasing the palms of the powers that be, comrade.
I have to say comrade now, cause if this stimulus package passes, we are sending ourselves to comradeville...and who knows where I food source will come from then.
Thanks for the response Jules. I agree with you completely.
