Food Inc. Insight

So I watched the documentary called Food Inc. last night and it was amazing, disturbing, and thought-provoking. I almost feel lucky to have these allergies so I don't have to eat the processed genetically modified ingredients that are pumped into packaged products. Corn and soy are almost in everything that we produce just because it's cheaper and easy to mass produce. We are truly creating a world where no one cares about what they are eating as long as its cheap and tastes good people eat it! I just can't believe that it is cheaper to eat a fast food dollar menu hamburger than buying a head of broccoli, that is SO wrong!! It just makes me sick that our government allows the subsidizing and cheap production of so called "food." Whatever happened to farmers market, organic products, seasonal produce, and home cooked meals? I challenge you to examine what you put in your mouth and ask yourself where it came from. Whatever happened to eating food that not only makes us feel good but is actually good for you? We are truly making people sick making soda, hamburgers, chips, cereals, and other products made from high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, and other chemically altered ingredients. Our bodies are not supposed to digest this!! Demand more for your unique, amazing, and powerful body and feed it the best nature has to offer. Eat like your great great grandparents did and feel empowered!!!!!!

  1. Well said Lara! I completely agree! I just finished reading Jillian Michael's Master your Metabolism and pretty much the whole book talks about all the icky corn, soy and chemical additives that are in all of our food. We ARE lucky that we don't ingest as much of this as others because we CAN'T. Great way of looking at it!
