New Challenge! So I thought it would be nice to get us all label conscious....do you guys read the labels that are on your food? Some of us may, for the calories, fats, carbs etc., but what about the ingredients? The ingredients are so important, I have found many times that I can not even pronounce the ingredients, guess what? That is bad news. Let us take the challenge to look at the ingredients of the things in our pantry, on the shelves at the store, and in the fridge at home. If we can not read it, then maybe we should think twice about eating it.
I know we cant change what we have many times, but the purpose of the challenge is to make you aware of the ingredients you are eating. If we are aware, we start to change our minds and that produces changes in our actions.
Although it might seem obvious, chemicals aren't food for you or any other living thing. Food scientists are paid big money to create long-lasting, artificially delicious food. Chemical concoctions become the prime ingredients in food on grocery store shelves, meaning a mad scientist is your own personal chef. It is no
big surprise that money is enough motivation for food companies to ignore the negative impacts these chemicals have on your long-term health. Thus marketing people and food scientists come together to sell you some cleverly chemically concocted corporate dish. Yum! Massive food businesses are leading you blindly into a world of plastic food that will ultimately destroy your health, leaving you poor and them laughing all the way to the bank. Chemicals aren't nutrition. They don’t satisfy your hunger, they’re addictive and they’ll leave you sick in the hospital with one of the many all too prevalent North American chronic diseases including diabetes or cancer.
