Eshan thank you for taking time to pen such a lovely and thoughtful response.
I should have added my experience with processed food, not that we ate a lot of it, but some creeps in.
Some years ago I had to give up running because of my painful knees. I really believed I would be up for knee replacements.
I switched over to NO processed food, and within weeks was back running. The pain has never returned. It's why I am so wary of foods over which I can't control. Of course this is getting harder and harder.
It was a pleasure to publish your post. Very well-written. :)
