A Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The foods that prolong life and increase purity, vigour, health, cheerfulness, and happiness are those that are delicious, soothing, substantial and agreeable... Foods that are bitter, sour, salt, over-hot, pungent, dry and burning produce unhappiness, repentance and disease.

processed carbs. They’re loaded with sugar and other additives.

we feel. The more dead foods we eat...well, you get the idea.
