Mom followed Jack LaLanne off & on for years. I don't remember much about the early years, except for the dogs, but it was his influence that convinced my parents to buy his juicer somewhere around the turn of the century. That was before any of us connected the increased sugars in fruit & vegetable juices with poor health outcomes for t2 diabetics - which my dad had been diagnosed with at that time.

But I have wonderful taste bud memories of the food bar in the the back of the health food store in the mid-70s. That got me converted to alfalfa sprouts, whole-grain breads, & pea & bean based sandwich spreads. They also made a fantastic juice mix of spinach, carrot, celery & something else I don't remember. How did I get so unhealthy when I loved that hearthealthywholegrain goodness so much!
