You Are What You Eat, Nutrition Or Junk, It's Up to You!

It is proven conclusively that one who chooses to live in the United States has a difficult time being fit and healthy. The tendency to be overweight and unhealthy may well be the results of modern food processing. Most American's are trained from birth to overeat and relish the taste of sugar, salt, and fat. Those basic ingredients are processed into the numerous food choices we find in our food markets today resulting in a steady increase in weight and health issues and decline in food nutrition. Despite attempts by modern agri-business to provide mass market nourishment the obvious failure is evident as we view our fellow American. With the selections of processed foods in our supermarkets we develop poor eating habits and over consume altered food and drink, resulting in becoming overfed and undernourished.

The purpose of processing enables companies to preserve food and extend the shelf life. Lengthened shelf life allows time to transport over long distance and last for long periods of time. While processing nutrients are lost and then replaced with chemical cocktails of synthetic vitamins, minerals, and fillers to revitalize the lost look and taste of the unprocessed product.

The resulting modern American diet differs considerably from traditional diets around the world. The United States diet when exported to other countries their people begin to assume the same body shapes and suffer the same health problems.

It is easy to see why this method of food processing gained favor. The American dream of happiness and success created a new picture of life for millions of people and the change in lifestyle habits created the issues we see today. The need for fast food was apparent to food processors in the early 1900's as the industrial revolution brought jobs that filled the time of people. Today we dash here and there to support the lifestyle we have created.

There is change as a small percentage of people are finding the benefits of eating less, and incorporating nutrition in their diet. When I first began my training in nutrition I read these words:

• "Eat Close to the Earth"

The meaning of this was that plants are first users of inorganic materials and transform them to organic food for plant eating creatures. The next step in the food chain is the carnivores that eat the plant eaters. Humans are omnivores who eat both plants and animals. With the mass production of meat, sugar, fats and chemicals the wrong products became the centerpiece of meals. You can join the road to healthy eating and drinking by following the Organic movement growing today.
