The food industry in America frustrates me to no end. Our politicians didn't go to school for nutrition, and yet they're making our food choices.
The results of their actions are astronomical. Look at the general public... What epidemics are going on right now? Childhood obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer. The list goes on.
What is the main reason for these diseases? FOOD! As much as you might not see or feel it, it's there. It's what the health industry calls "silent inflammation." Unfortunately, since you don't feel it, you continue to eat the way you always have. The inflammation continues to build up until it's life-threatening, such as a heart attack or a deadly diagnosis. I'm getting a little off track from what I intended to write about, but I wanted you to get a little picture in your head and realize that there is a problem.
The
whole problem doesn't necessarily lie in the hands of Americans. The food companies have gotten really sneaky. Here is an example I wanted to share today. I saw this article on a Facebook group's page called
Anti Vaccine/Natural Immunity . It was appalling.
We've all heard of Aspartame. It's an artificial sweetener seen everywhere. When people started catching on to its bad effects (Read
here for the effects), the food companies got one step ahead by renaming it AminoSweet. How is this ethical?
To make things worse, they've now come up with another sweetener. NEOTAME. The most aggravating thing is........ they don't have to put it on the label (not even on organics)! I'm sorry, but I have a right to know what I'm putting in my body. Read more about the article
here .
In conclusion, I want to ensure you, it's not your fault. We have a long way to go! If you're concerned about your diet, let a health counselor help. If you're interested in learning more go to

Lastly, I want to leave you with an uplifting note. All these things are REVERSIBLE. Just remember, it's never too late!
Eat good and be healthy,
Katie
