Who Created The Food You Eat?

From the time we are born we grow up eating food that our moms made us and if we went to a restaurant we became familiar with the brand and we trusted it. We have been conditioned to the food we eat and again we are very trusting of it. After all, if we don't like certain foods then we choose not to continue to eat them.

As I get older and a bit wiser I am now questioning where my food comes from. One of the greatest tools ever invented for the internet is something called Google. I can sit down at my computer and research anything I want regarding any subject I want. Since I have decided to take responsibility for my health I do research on the state of our food supply. The information I found is both appalling and helpful.

When I was younger our country was at a different place when it came to food because farmers were growing food that didn't have a lot of pesticides and insecticides sprayed all over them. I remember going to the market and getting a unique item called a frozen dinner. The fast food restaurant was created and became incredibly popular. Our family started moving in the direction of eating at these types of places. The convenience of them and the cost of the food was very reasonable.

As our population continued to grow so did the food industry. In order to keep up with the demand the farmers needed a way to grow more crops that were free of weeds and insects and other bacteria that entered the atmosphere. The most dangerous of all the chemicals on the planet has been out there for several decades, but is only now coming to light and that is Genetically Modified Organism (GMO). A GMO is basically a chemical that is injected into the seed of crops such as corn, soy and canola. Over 70% of all food found in the supermarket has GMO's. If you were going to use Google to research GMO's I would suggest doing it NOW!

This brings me back to my original point about knowing where your food comes from. Since I have been on Isagenix I KNOW where my food comes from. John Anderson, the master formulator, has been creating healthy products for over thirty years and I believe he saved his best for Isagenix. John is the most respected formulator on the planet and he has put together the best food you could put in your body. ALL of the products contain ZERO chemicals and are loaded with nutrients, vitamins, trace minerals, essential amino acids and so much more. So, you could say that I do know who created my food and I wouldn't go back to my other way of eating...EVER! Will I eat regular food again? Probably, but now I have total control over what I eat and I can make better choices. So ask yourself this, "Who created the food you eat"? If you don't know the answer to that then you better find out before it's too late!!!
