A man who smoked two packs of cigarettes per day for years, used to comment on "people who went to Health Food Stores" .. Look, he would say, see those people? they are not very healthy.. (often people with health problems would seek a better diet).. That man smoked for 40 years, no problem! he said.. his skin suffered, he lost his sense of taste for foods.. One year he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and died after a slow, lingering and painful illness, in his early 60s.

I don't really see what that has to do with what I posted, as it completely misses the point.

This is not about eating fast food vs eating healthy. This is about groups of people eating the same food, only that one is labeled 'bio/organic' and the other isn't.

When these people were subjected to tests, and the foods themselves were tested, it was quantifiably proven to be less healthy.
