"Most of us are too busy to pay attention to more than a few things, and for the rest, we trust. We must. No time.
When it comes to food, we may have trusted too much. (Judging by the size and health of most of America.) The interests of big food today are not the interests of your body's health. Compare:
Big Food value #1
Shelf life. Once-real food is now irradiated and subjected to extreme heat which kills all the vitamins and enzymes. The chemicals so distort the food molecules that they're not usable by our bodies. But hey, it has shelf life and looks good.
Can your body survive big food's value #1?
A body can't process 'shelf-lifed' food. It wants real food. Translation: Fresh. Clean. Not genetically mutilated. With its vitamins and nutrients intact. Available from local farmers in most cities in the US.
If your body is in great shape, no need to change anything. If it isn't, consider doing something novel for it:
real food.
Why follow the crowd? Do they look that good to you?
So be weird. Think different. Do different.
2,500 years ago, here's what a revered religious leader told his followers:
"Do not take anything on 'authority'. Nor blindly believe it because the government or your teacher said it. Instead, test ideas and actions yourself, and when you know they lead to harm or ill, abandon them. If you know they lead to benefit or happiness, adopt them. Be lamps unto yourselves."-Buddha.
Look in the (full length) mirror. Has big food harmed you or benefited you? Will you continue to trust them."
Hmmmmmmmmmm! She always makes me think. I am now a religious label reader and still working on completely understanding even that.
I found this article by one of the people that I admire on health and business information the most-Kim Klaver. I take the whole food supplements (the pops) that her company makes and through her have learned so much about nutrition. I find that everyday I learn more through reading, and blogging. I thought that I would pass this on as I am still learning what to trust and not trust when it comes to eating.

In addition, one of the biggest health myths out there is, if they can sell it in stores or restaurants, it must be okay to consume. This is not always the case.
I saw my grandfather and father die of cancer. I've also seen people turn their health around by using good, sound nutritional principles.
The key is to take charge of your health. Get educated so you can make good nutritional choices. Reading this blog is one way to learn more about your health.
this is another great post, i hope many people can read this. ;)
cheers!
I'm slowly but surely making some changes to the way I eat. I still have to check out the farmer's market (which is only a half mile from my house!) I'm not quite functional at the time of morning they're open, but as I adjust to my new job schedule, hopefully I'll become more of a morning person.
Whole foods -- local, fresh, organic in particular -- do the body best.
That is one of my favorite Buddha quotes.

They have just found out now that bio fuels made from corn, produce more greenhouse gasses and more polution than petrol (gas) and yet people are still promoting it. Producing bio fuels is also leading to food shortages throughout the world but it seems people would rather take this route than cut back on unnecessary car and plane journeys.
It would seem that we are sorely wanting in strong leadership before things get past the point of no return!
