Our Quick Fix Society

Where did we go wrong in our society? We have become a quick fix society and in some ways it is a good thing, but in the long run it is actually a bad thing. There are many examples of quick fixes like; banks printing money to pay debt, women having their breats removed so they don't get breast cancer and giving our kids pills for many smptoms instead of getting to the root of the issue.

I could go on and on with many examples of how we have become a quick fix society and my fear is that we are so far in that we won't be able to turn it around.  As you know I'm passionate about nutrition and educating the masses about our current food supply. The food industry is riddled with quick fixes, but it comes at a huge cost. The cost is the health of Americans!

If I was a conspiracy theorist it would make perfect sense. The food industry provides polluted food to the American people by using GMOs and many other chemicals. Over time these foods take a negative effect on your health so you are forced into the "sick care" system. This is where there are other quick fixes in the way of medications, which are also chemicals, but they really don't cure anything. They are developed to mask the real issues which is poor nutrition and basically perpetuate your need for these drugs.

This is a vicious cycle that will not break anytime soon. Unless, of course, there is a massive movement the other way. If Americans would stop buying polluted foods and demand quality food that contains no chemicals or GMOs, then the food manufacturers would be forced to supply what the majority of people want. If everyone stopped eating products that contain soy and the manufacturers sales for those products plummeted, they would be forced to stop making those foods. We need to hurt them in the place that hurts most, their profits!

This quick fix society we live in can be changed, but it is up to us to do something about it. It starts in my home and your home. It begins with us and taking responsibility for ourselves and our children. We have the ability to rid our lives of quick fixes and get back to basics. As far as food and nutrition, the great news is that it is less expensive to eat quality food over the long run. So not only am I saving money, I'm actually doing something for my body that will help avoid taking medications to feel better.

Eliminating the quick fix is a difficult concept for most people to wrap their heads around because we have been so conditioned to this way of life. Isn't it time to change that way of life? It is such a simple step to take, but you must have the courage to take it. The next time you come across a quick fix, do yourself a favor and STOP and think of another way to deal with the situation. Just becoming aware of your actions will start the process of replacing quick fixes with real solutions that make sense.
