Understanding Health Food is like Rubik's Solving one side of the problem does not actually bring you closer to a total solution

When considering what health food is, we have many different “faces to solve”  We have the medical community telling us what is good and bad for our health  We have nutritionists telling us what not to eat and what to eat  We have food companies putting all sort of things in advertising and on the packaging  We have academic researchers employing PR firms to broadcast their most recent conclusions  We have the media a willing partner to give any headline to any story that might garner readers’ attention.  Public interest groups attacking anyone that does not promote brown beans and rice  And of course the government, which tries to stand above the fray an act like the unbiased interpreter of all the above.
