		<description><![CDATA[Processed. Over packaged. Preservatives. Hydrogenated. Most people today get that these are indications of food that may not provide the most nutrition. Sometimes, it takes a little reading and extra thought&#8230; not what most people would consider convenient. So is &#8220;convenient nutrition&#8221; an oxymoron? Perhaps.  But then again, since when is coronary illness convenient?

In university, Geographers and other more &#8221;practically disciplined&#8221; academics chuckle at the History majors, suggesting the only career for one to apply a history degree is that of a history teacher.
