I'm still Alive without pills

I finally went into the organic store just around the corner because our produce box was not delivered this week since the family that runs the business is on vacation (lucky them). They had the Alive magazine lying around and I took a copy home just out of interest. My first guess was proven right though and I am not impressed with the magazine. My hubby kindly reminded me that it was for free which explains the huge amount of advertisement. Actually, the advertisement abounds so much that I had trouble finding the articles when skipping through the pages. What a waste of paper! Even worse most of the advertisement are for some sort of pill! Natural and organic pills of course but I am so put off. I know there's no money to make in advertising fresh fruits and vegetables but to tell people that obviously make an effort to eat and live healthily (why else would you be in an organic/ health food store?) to take pills to stay healthy simply annoys me. How stupid you think people are ... okay, we are not going to discuss this here but I do not think that I ought to be taken tons and tons of pills if I have a healthy diet and exercise regularly and do not suffer from any physically or mentally impairing conditions. Granted, we do currently take Vitamin D and C supplement pills, D because there's not much sunshine around and C because of this crappy weather (change from below to above zero and vice versa every other day). If one fine day I'll be diagnosed with something devastating it's probably too late to start taking pills but I am not going to take a handful of them now in the hope it will prevent all kinds of stuff and I don't need to worry about eating junk food. And even though the content (the pill) might be natural and from organic ingredients it comes with a lot of packaging, mostly plastic, which is not good for our planet. Produce at the store comes without the packaging - that's much better.
