Have you ever heard this expression, "If I had a nickel for every time someone..."? If you haven't, then you will by the end of the post. You see, I have said this many times, but for different reasons. Each time I do say it though it means the same thing. I would always end the sentence with, "I'd be a millionaire".
So what am I referring to this time? Well, this time it has to do with the overall subject of health, but more specifically about the food we are eating in the American diet. Since I have turned to the other side I observe what people eat and their eating habits. First, when I speak about turning to the other side I'm saying that I have come off the food grid 99% of the time and I just eat nutrient dense super food. Hard to believe? Yes, I know it sounds fairly radical until you realize what is in the food we find in this country.
What most people don't know is that the food that we consume is polluted and basically lacks any nutrition. You have to eat so many more bowls of spinach then you did in the 1950's. The soil is depleted of nutrients. The chemicals that are sprayed AND injected into the seed of the corn, soybean, sugar beets, and canola are deadly to many living things. The pesticides today have to be beyond strong since the plants have developed a resistance to the power of these chemicals. Don't look now, but that is going directly into our food supply.
You know the saying, "You are what you eat?" The actual saying is, "You are what THEY eat." We are feeding our cows and chickens corn to fatten them up quickly so they can get to market faster with a lot of goodies inside them. Yeah, the corn seed that they are eating is highly toxic with other great ingredients such as, steroids, hormones and antibiotics. GMOs are invading our food supply. America, we are slowly killing ourselves by eating this polluted food!!!
Sorry, I got a bit carried away. Back to "If I had a nickel for every time someone said" ," I know I should eat better, but I can't stop eating. I love food." This is where I say, "I'd be a millionaire." I don't get it? If people knew what they were eating was really bad for them, then why can't they stop? I believe there is a simple solution, but it seems to be really hard for a lot of people. Honestly, it was hard for me for years because it was like food was everything to me. Think about it, food is a very social thing. Going out to breakfast or lunch or dinner. Going out with friends or going to parties. At each one of these "special occasions" there is food, but it typically is not very good for you.
So what did I do? I decided to stop making excuses and justifications for why I'm eating this food. I decided to take responsibility for my health. I figured that what I was doing up to that point wasn't working so I had to change or continue on the insanity train. That train was going NOWHERE. I found an alternative to our current food supply with what I believe is the most efficient way to eat food and get high amounts of nutrition at the same time. I believe I've stumbled on to the future. Using food technology that is good for you and free of unwanted chemicals. If you could see what I see, you would think twice about the comfort of that favorite fatty food you "love" to eat. Just do your homework on GMOs and Gluten and begin the process of educating yourself. The reason I want you to research it is because it then becomes much more real to you. When you see experts in their field talking about the dangers that face us, it makes it easier to turn to the other side as I have. I recommend going to www.naturalnews.com and getting their newsletters. Watch some of their videos and that will give you a good start.
It's not too late to start to get healthy. You deserve it! Your body is a miracle, so treat it like it is. When you do, I promise you that your awareness will be razor sharp when people say, " But I love food". Maybe you can become a millionaire for every time someone says that.
