Film Nutrition

I am a fan of old films. I just discovered a real beauty: "Give Together" a 1944 movie with Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer. Spectacular acting, an intriguing story, creative dialogue, wholesome humor and romance---the scene where Charles Boyer shatters his tea cup at Irene Dunne's announcement of her 'unusual engagement' is one of the funniest seconds (it was that long) in all of film. With such films I must confess I'm continually astonished at the difference in the nutrition of the past versus the junk food films of today. What was served on the big screen of yesteryear (as this fine film) was organic asparagus shoots compared to the sugared up, nitrate-laced fatty swill fed pork of today. How ironic in a generation where we spend so much effort in diets and feeding the body on the healthiest of organic foods. Maybe we should pull away from the table when today's carcinogenic celluloid is served. I'm afraid that such poisons no spiritual liver was ever meant to handle.
