Excuse me, this is considered food?

in #health6 years ago

Can anyone guess what this 'food' package is?

I know ... it takes a while~ reading down that long ass ingredient list to know it was a Pop Tart wrapper. Ei ei ei ei ei.

hat most people are eating today is not really food.

It is food ingredients, often genetically modified, and processed to hell and back, and this is what we are filling the body and mind with.

No wonder we are so sick. No wonder mental and physical illness has been on the rise.

Answering how we got to this place would take me a while and though I would be happy to shine some perspective there, I will focus this post on why we need to stop eating processed foods and shift to eating more whole foods.

If you can't pronounce the ingredients, please don't eat. These ingredients can clog up our detox pathways and over time the feeling of inflamed and like shit ensues. These processed foods are devoid of nutrients and lack enzymes. They spin blood sugar out of control and exasterbate mood swings.

I ask before anyone goes on a prescription medication to please shift to a 90% organic, whole foods diet and see what happens. You will be amazed!!!

Switch this 'snack' out with an organic apple and almond butter or peanut butter.

It is through our choices (and where we direct our money) that either perpetuates this paradigm of processed foods or SHIFTS it.

Let us rise together and shift it.

Not food, but pretty damn tasty/

Haha! I sooooo disagree! After eating "clean" for so many years when something like this touches my palette my tongue is like GET THIS OFF ME!!!

Ingredients are created in a lab w the intention to fire centers of the brain so we crave more and more and more of these processed 'foods'. Because people are getting sick from this, it pisses me off!

And no judgement to the people who eat this food whatsoever ... or who thing it is delicious. I get pissed at the manufactures and food lobbyists and the FDA for putting profits before health. Big love on th

I sometimes wonder why there are known poisons in our food supply. It's pretty clear at this point that the regulators who are supposedly protecting us from toxic foods are more concerned with the profit margins of their corporate handlers than they are with the well being of the people who entrust them with their protection.

Our society in the USA is largely unaware that addictive food additives are a part of so many items on the shelves of the grocery stores. We live in a culture where the same corporations which manufacture cigarettes are manufacturing food, it's more than speculation that they use similar addictive chemicals in both food and tobacco.

I wrote a post about the use of chemicals in growing food. Your post is inspirational, I plan to write a post about food additives and the ailments which are known to be caused by their consumption.

So well said. Yes, I agree completely.
It is so so so sad.
Profits over health and well being. However, we have the power to shift the tide~ and that is what I emphasize and focus on! Thank you for your contribution here ... highly valuable.
