When you begin to limit your food intake to mainly fruits and vegetables, your bodies will in time become healthier and will emit a pleasant odor; your own and your families’ health care costs will be reduced, contributing to lowering our nation’s health care costs. You will become a “light unto the nations” (Isaiah 49:6) assisting President Barack Obama in his task of governing the country,
Try it. You will like it. I guarantee it.
