As you may or may not know by now, I don't go to a grocery store to buy food. When I do go into a store it is to buy other things like light bulbs or paper towels, etc. I was in a grocery store recently and it was amazing!
It was amazing because I could walk through the entire store with food all around me and I didn't care one way or the other. The reason it is meaningless to me is because I have shifted my mindset about food. When I walk up and down the aisles now, all I see is Gluten, GMOs and Chemicals. All the research I have done about our food supply comes flooding to my brain and I realize how fortunate I am. I'm lucky because I no longer am held hostage by food. Food doesn't dominate my life like it did before and it is the best feeling in the world.
Advertising and Marketing is so huge in this country because it dictates what we eat and how we think about food. The only challenge with that is most of the advertising is misleading. I love the ads that use the words: light, fat free, low carb, 97% fat free, half the sugar, etc. Mind blowing, considering it doesn't matter what these ads say because these foods are still bad for you. I'm not saying all foods in a grocery store are bad for you. I'm just saying that the majority of them are.
Imagine eating quality food that is Gluten Free and GMO Free! Imagine that you don't have to drive anywhere to get that food. Imagine that the food is nutrient dense super food. Imagine that it provides your body with everything it needs to nourish and cleanse the body. Imagine consuming this food is convenient and portable, in addition to having no dishes to wash and very little garbage to take out. Imagine having no wasted food to throw out because you don't have any food that could be spoiled.
I realize that this seems like it is futuristic, but I assure you it is happening right now. The only thing that is stopping someone from better health utilizing these foods is the courage to take a stand. If you know that the food in our system is polluted and bankrupt of nutrition, then why are you still eating it? I know it is hard making the switch to all nutrient dense food, but how much is your health worth? Would you rather spend more money later in life or a little more now so you avoid those medical bills in the future?
Strolling through the grocery store is such a great experience for me. I love watching what people put in their carts and it makes me want to go up to the front of the store, grab a microphone and do my seminar on our current food supply. Educating people in the store would be rewarding until I see them walk out of the store with empty calories and products that could cause many illnesses now and in the future. It is so sad to me, but then again I have done something that most people don't want to do. That is take responsibility for my health right now. I don't want to wait till it's too late as so often happens to the majority of Americans.
The next time you are in a grocery store try something new. I don't mean a new product, I mean try to read labels and think about what you are putting in your cart. You and your family deserve the best, so why not provide them with products that will nourish them instead of harm them. Do what I did and turn to a different type of grocery store where all the products actually help you achieve better health. My grocery store is called ISAGENIX. It is an amazing store filled with quality food products that are chemical free (including GMO free) and most of the products are Gluten free. I can't think of a better place to shop and I never have to leave my house!! Try it, you'll like it. Contact me today.
