Stop Buying Poisons at Your Grocery Store

For your health, eat clean not fake

Going to a grocery store is like navigating a mine field. So many choices of so many products. But if you buy the wrong item, your health can blow up in your face. And you don’t even see it coming.

Years ago all students in school were familiar with the Food Pyramid which was a guide to healthy eating. Nowhere on the Food Pyramid was anything suggesting that eating over processed, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives and chemicals that imitate food was healthy.

If you took chemistry in school you know that many things can be created in a lab.

Why does the U.S. think it’s okay to eat chemicals that are being passed off as food, rather than eat whole clean foods?

What if everyone ate a fresh food diet and cut out all the chemical laden soft drinks? What effect do you think that would have on the unaffordable health care system in this country?

Food manufacturers are now trying to push imitation meat, chicken and fish.

How is food manufactured? Is it like furniture manufacturing with glue and plywood?

Advertisers are making glowing commercials. You must understand that chemicals from a lab and processed into something unnatural that resembles food, is not food

They are pushing garbage.

It is not fresh food — it’s not FOOD!

Americans are so busy being busy that preparing food is a nuisance. They willingly sacrifice their health by eating processed, boxed foods loaded with preservatives.

There are many health problems related to these poisonous chemicals. Think allergies and asthma. Cancer and heart issues.Your body cannot assimilate chemicals. Who knew?

Do we need a Skull and Crossbones on the packaging?

You should definitely read the labels on packaging and if you can’t pronounce the words and you don’t know what the chemicals are, don’t buy it!

Look at the aisles in the huge grocery stores we have in this country.

Look at the freezer section. Everything and anything is in there.

Processed, boxed and ready to go from the market straight to your stomach.

Obesity is a major health issue in this country. People are eating so many fake food products and chemicals that are contributing to weight gain. They are eating nothing that is healthy. Empty calories!

Diet causes major health issues so when people begin to feel poorly they trot off to their health care provider(?) where they are diagnosed with whatever and prescribed mystery pills with a multitude of side effects.

The vicious cycle of poor diet and prescription drugs has begun.

Rather than prescribe a healthy diet, it’s so much easier to write a prescription.

Doctor’s don’t make any money prescribing a healthy diet.

Fresh fruits and vegetables should be on your daily menu.

Americans spend thousands of dollars renovating their kitchens to look like what they see on TV. Or they decide to buy a bigger house to get the kitchen of their dreams, but most complain about cooking.

Many people are happy eating something out of a box or carryout. When you buy carry out you have no control over what is in your food. Lots of sodium.

You also do not know the condition of the kitchen the food was prepared in. Is it clean ? Are rodents running in and out? Who knows? Only the health inspector and he doesn’t come around very often.

I have worked in commercial restaurant kitchens and have seen some startling conditions and scary food handling.

Science has finally shown that eating whole fresh foods does not cause disease and improves longevity. Some wholesome natural foods are full fat whole milk, eggs and red meat.

Today 58% of all calories consumed in the U.S. diet now comes from over processed foods.

The human body cannot adjust to the artificial chemicals in fake foods and the processing results in loss of beneficial nutrients. This is followed by weight gain, inflammation and chronic disease.

If you are not familiar with effects of inflammation in the body, google it.

We are what we eat, so before you put something in your mouth, think about it. Is it fresh or fake?

Americans accept food additives as natural.

Additives and chemicals are added to cattle feed and feed for poultry. These chemicals are still present in the meat after slaughter, which means they are passed to the consumer. Eating organic meat, chicken,milk and eggs is so much safer for you.

When you see large chicken breasts for sale in your grocery store, they are not fresh young hens. The large breasts come from factory farm hens that are no longer laying eggs. And they are not organic.

Get to know your local farmers.There are many small farmers that have organic meat and chicken available. Have you ever seen the deplorable conditions of the feed lots and slaughterhouses in this country? They are filthy and this is where some e coli infections come from.

Small farmers may grow organic veggies and operate their farms with out questionable practices. Learn where the farmer’s markets are and be supportive. Get to know your local farmers. Your health is at stake.

There is no price you can put on your health. What you put in your body dictates how you will age. Ill health and disease will age you very quickly or kill you.

Life and death begins in the colon, because whatever goes in, should come out. Many people suffer from constipation caused by some drug side effects or poor diet. This is so detrimental to your health, but eating a healthy fresh Mediterranean diet will help to keep your body regular and functioning the way it is supposed to.

Your internal organs were not designed for you to suck down chemical medications and laxatives.

Eating healthy will relieve that unpleasantness.

Consumers should be angry about the quality of food in the big box grocery stores. Grocery bills are soaring weekly. You are being charged high prices for fake foods that have the potential to cause you health issues at some point in your life.

People should feel that they are safe buying whatever they like at the grocery store. Just because it’s in the store doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

I like to buy tomatoes that don’t have a sticker on them and they haven’t been shipped in a refrigerated truck hundreds of miles away, when there’s a local farmer that grows lovely produce.

When you are making a grocery list, look at it closely.

Are you buying real food or fake?
