Chew On This

Food is the most important thing we will ever buy. And yet, most people, never bother to think about the food and where it comes from. People spend a lot more time worrying about what clothes they will wear, the sort of vehicle they will buy, or the latest electronic device in their home. We research about so many things, but neglect to look into what we put in our bodies.

We can toss the old clothing, trade in the older model car and drop the electronics off at the goodwill when we are done with them. But the food that enters our body will literally become part of us, we are stuck with this decision.

Why is it, that we don't think on such things? Maybe we are programmed to not think outside the box. Think about it, you have heard the phrase, "Keepin' up with the Jones?" What are we keeping up with? Their diet? No! It's the lifestyle.

I have yet to see Consumer Reports reporting on foods ingredients and which are the best and worst for your health. Which cause cancer or cell depletion. The companies do not want us to think on these things, for if we do, they will be out some money.

Ever hear a Dr say, "High cholesterol must run in your family." Sure it does, Momma taught Sally how to cook and prepare food. And Sally taught her child the same thing. They all were raised on a high fat and toxic ingredient diet. High cholesterol is diet related, not hereditary. Our arteries get clogged due to what we put into our bodies, not on genetic structure.

I have studied this topic for near a decade. I have spent countless hours in libraries and online looking into JAMA and the FDA and many other places. I want to encourage all of you that read my blogs (mainly Labour Of Love and Thinkerest Thoughts), do your research, don't just take my word for it. You have to Know what YOU believe! Why YOU believe it! And Stand Firm on IT! If you don't how will you be able to teach your children or defend why you choose to live the way you do? You can't just do like Jasi and say, "Shelly says." :)
