I actively encourage and welcome comments for my question....

I have felt very passionate for years about the demise of our food from ground up level, soil quality, poor nutritional quality and the toxic chemicals sprayed on them. The state of people's health and the chronic and degenerative diseases we are more frequently succumb to.

What is interesting is that when I suggest a diet based on whole foods and less processed foods, people become very defensive, almost angry. It is a reaction I fail to understand, can anyone shed light on why people react this way?
