I used to go to restaurants to eat food, but now I go there to observe. When you truly turn over to the other side and are disciplined to take responsibility for your health, you can walk into a restaurant and the food all around you is meaningless.
My wife and I go to our favorite spot by the house for a cup of soup during the winter time. We were in there earlier and the name of the restaurant is called "Sauce". They have Panini's and Pizza and Salads and the food is good. Well, as far as I can remember because we don't eat anything but the soup now. So when we walked in we couldn't help but notice a man and a women who were greatly overweight. They were eating Pizza and I couldn't see what else was on the table, but I know it wasn't healthy. My first thought was sad because I'm sure they don't understand what they are doing to themselves. I also believe that they would rather not be overweight.
If people would only educate themselves on the state of our food supply then maybe, just maybe, they would be able to control themselves when it comes to eating. If you were aware that most of the food that you consume had dangerous chemicals in them, would you continue to eat them? My other concern is that most people put blinders on when it comes to food. When I say blinders I'm talking about this elephant in the room blinders, called nutrition. When you bring that word up people retreat to the fetal position. At first I felt like a villain if I mentioned the word. Now, I really don't care because this is about helping someone get past their reliance on food. This is about being a true friend to someone in need.
Every time I go into a restaurant I get more determined to help educate people about Gluten, GMOs and also an alternative to the food they are eating. I know I sound like a crazy man, but let me just say, "I'm not". I'm just a person who wants to help those who want to help themselves. You really have to be serious about changing your lifestyle. Every excuse in the book will come to you and the justification to make it o.k. to eat food that isn't good for you. Here is where the hard part comes in, overcoming that strong desire to eat polluted food.
What makes your decision so hard is conditioning. Since you were born you have been conditioned to eating foods that are so good to the taste, but so bad for your health. I would love to see that change in this country, but that really starts at home. If you want healthy children then stop taking them to McDonald's and every other fast food restaurant known to man. Start them out on food that has nutrition. That one discipline will develop good habits for the future. You probably think I'm living in a dream world. Who would give their kids quality food from the time their born? Jay, don't you know that they go to pizza parties and cake is at every single celebration? What are they supposed to do?
No one said creating better health is going to be easy. You do have to sacrifice your favorite foods, but then again it wouldn't be a sacrifice if you never started to eat poorly in the first place. Eating food in this country today is flat out dangerous. If you don't believe me then please do some research. I recommend picking up Jeffrey Smith's books, "Seeds of Deception" and "Genetic Roulette". If nothing else these books will make you aware of what is really going on in our food supply. So the next time you take a trip to the restaurant maybe you can become an observer!
