I love food.
WHY? I have a love for food. True, real food. And when I
hear people say that they love food and I see them eating junk and processed
chemical and preservative ridden mimics of food-like products it bothers me a
great deal. They are not loving food – they are loving eating. And they do it
to satisfy their body because their body is telling them they are hungry.
And it is – hungry for nutrients. But that’s not what we
feed our bodies when we’re reaching for quick, convenience – packaged products…
High calorie, low nutrient foods are taking over the shelves
at the grocery stores leaving very little room and decreasing demand for fresh
produce and true food products.
I have discovered why we think we love food and our story
includes all sorts of delicious creations that are convenient and provided to
us at a relative cost. Or low price – the cost to your health is VERY HUGE. (You can pay now or you can pay later - either way you are going to pay. Please don't sell your health to the lowest bidder.)
We’re addicted. Plain and simple. And just like battling
drug addiction – recognising the bio-chemical component of addiction and
learning how your body works can empower you to make different decisions that
will impact your health, your vitality, your energy and the overall quality of
your life.
Next time you go to the grocery store – perhapse do this:
Observe what people are putting into their carts and then imagine – just by
looking at them – what their energy level probably is and how healthy they are.
Don’t start at people… just observe them – without judgement. To learn – and see
what is really going on.
Last night I saw a family of 4 walk by – cart filled with
colourful cardboard packages, frozen pizza… fish sticks… pasta side dishes,
rice side dishes, items with unpronounceable ingredients that have been shaped
and moulded to resemble food products. This family looks sluggish, overweight
and have unsightly blemishes or patches on their skin. I can imagine that being
overweight translates into being ridiculed at school for the kids. It’s not
fair. And it’s not necessary.
There are too many unknowns in our food supply. It is time
to get back to basics and make decisions that are in line with fueling your
body for success.
Education leads to understanding. Understanding leads to knowing better.
Know [Better]. Do [Better]. Be [Better].
