The War On Food

You have the disadvantage to live in the time that a full war on food is happening. The bigger problem? Not many know it's happening.

20 years ago we didn't have the benefit of Internet with endless information at our fingertips. We had to rely on books and mainstream media to keep us in the know. Nowadays however, it's very different. Mainstream media only tells you what they're allowed to tell you. As a Fox News CEO once said, "I make the news". And it's true, they do, they fabricate, exaggerate and deemphasize whenever they feel like it. Celebrity trash magazines and mainstream media are essentially the same thing now, they take one part truth to ten parts lies, mix well and print. My problem, and the reason I'm writing this, is that people don't use this information for the benefit of themselves and their family. The fact that people still eat fast food just proves that point.

There is a war on food right now. Some may not care, some don't have children and are not concerned for their own health, I get that. What I don't get is parents who have this information at their fingertips and choose not to listen. McDonalds should be classified as a mild poison at best. It should never be ingested by children. That goes for chips and soda and a ton of other crap Frankenfood on the market today. I understand most people do not have the means to switch their whole family to a healthier diet overnight. Not many can. What you can do is read labels, read articles, get involved in your area. Learn what you're giving your child that is harming them. Our government has been bought out by 'BigFood,' you can no longer trust that what they say is safe is actually safe. Make snacks and leave them in the car

if they are ok in various temperatures. Make lunches no matter where you are going. Please do not put any faith in fast food, it is far more harmful than you realize! Trust organic and non-GMO project. The best is growing your own food! There are not many things you will teach your child that is better than that. To start from a tiny seed and watch it grow into their own tasty treat. For them to learn just how precious every organic bite can be.

Some people think I'm cruel for not giving my child junk. They think I'm mean for not letting him consume cheezies and chocolate. Why would I? Many junk items are highly addictive. They teach our children how to have a bad diet in the future. My child gets tons of sweets, it's called fruit. No child needs more sugar than that. It harms their tiny bodies, it's a hurt you will not see, overloading kidneys and predisposing them for future diseases is not always visible from the outside.

Wanna know what cancer loves? SUGAR.

It's not easy to change our diets, especially when we have eaten the same way our whole lives. I decided not to be selfish and I gave up MANY, MANY things I LOVED. It killed me sometimes to resist the temptations of chicken nuggets and French fries as well as many other instant foods, but I did it! It was very difficult for

me but I felt it was well worth it so my baby could have a healthy life. There's no guarantee on health in any circumstances which makes it imperative to take care of yourself and your family as much as you possibly can.

I think the most destructive thought process in our world is the notion that it's hopeless. Why bother giving up junk because our air is polluted. Why bother picking up litter, there's millions of pounds more laying around. 'Why bother?' Bother because it's helpful, bother because it's the right thing to do and deep down you know it. Bother for your kids. Bother for yourself. Bother for your earth. You have to live here. There is no second planet we can move to. Believe it or not, your food choices have an extreme impact on our environment. Soils that are subjected to conventional crops die. Then they use more chemical fertilizers to make crops grow, so MORE chemicals.

Anytime you buy ANYTHING, you're voting.

Vote with your dollar and banish crap food!
