The local merchants of Göreme (just in my back) decorated this tree with their products. This, behind, is Pigeon Valley, were people used to raise pigeons for their … droppings (good natural fertilizer).

Question by Jeanne R: What are the normal amounts of Chol, sodium, and sugars per day to lower your risks?
I have high cholesterol and want to take steps to lower that. So I want to know the limits. I am taking lipitor, got rid of butter, mayo, switched to olive oil etc. Need some hints. I am not going cold turkey but trying to do a little more each week.

Look, if it wasn’t for fast food and sugary foods, there wouldn’t be heart diseases. America is filled with salty and sugary products. You have to learn how to avoid them. Don’t give into the companies who want to make a quick buck by loading foods or drinks with sugar and salt and preservatives and processed junk to compensate for taste. They are trying to fool you. Don’t be fooled. If a package has words that you don’t understand, don’t buy it. If it has a long list of ingredients that are chemicals that you have no idea about, don’t buy it or eat it. That’s all. Don’t give into greedy people who just want to make some money off of the poor. The poor aren’t stupid, they shouldn’t be treated as such. Food should be natural. We are human beings, not trash compactors. If a person treats you like a trash compactor, then, they can go and ruin their own body. Don’t let them ruin yours. Demand better and healthier food from your government. Don’t buy junk. Fruits and vegetables aren’t junk. Hot dogs that aren’t pure beef are junk. Waste your dollars on good foods, not chemicals and quick eats or treats.
