Glorious Food! Well maybe not so glorious. The food we eat, and take for granted that the supply will always be available in our supermarkets is not what we think it is. That being wholesome, beneficial, and nutritious for our consumption. The general public is being and has been deceived about what we eat. Gone are the days of the rural farmers where their crops were immediately disbursed into the neighborhood communities for immediate sale. Today the whole food industry is being run by big conglomerates and the corporate farms have long since replaced the individual farmer. To exemplify what has taken place in the production of food let's take a look at what is actually in a box of Special K cereal. There is Wheat Gluten, Salt, High Fructose, Corn syrup, Rice, Malt flavoring, Alpha Tocopherol, Sugar etc. Now the ingredients that are in a box of Chicken Helper. We have Wheat Flour, Niacin, Corn Starch, Monosodium Glutamate, Sodium Phosphate, etc. This is just a small sample of what we eat every day. What has transpired in the last 25 years in the production of our food has a direct impact of the rate of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and a whole other assortment of other ailments and illnesses that are affecting our population
In almost every thing we eat either has added fructose, corn syrup of some other artificial preservative that has caused our health care industry and businesses billions of dollars of lost time and production due to the huge volume of medical effects of what is put into our food supply. Years ago we could always count on what we ate as the actual product without the added preservatives. The beef we ate was grazed and the dairy products were always fresh. In fact most everything that was consumed by the general public was more nutritious in every aspect. With the advent of the corporate farms the soil that supports our crops have been depleted of the nutrients that are so necessary for any crop to produce the healthful benefits that are so necessary for overall health and nutrition . The soil must be given time to replenish the nutrients that are consumed by growing crops, which hasn't been done for the past 20 years or more. This is one of the biggest factors in the escalating rate of health related illnesses. The lack of proper nutrition in our food supply.
The population of the United States can no longer afford or relay on the current method the way our food industry processes the food supply. Change is most urgently needed if we are to regain our health and stave off financial disaster due to the rising costs of the health concerns that are a direct link to our food supply, consumption and production. Education is crucial is detailing what is actually in the food we eat. It starts with the knowledge of what is beneficial for us not just some ingredient that are inscribed on the boxes of cereal or other food source. Every person has to take some responsibility for their own health and enlighten themselves of the benefits of the right choices of nutrition, exercise, and illness prevention to maintain a healthy and productive lifestyle.
The corporate farmers have to find ways to restore the balance of the soil for healthy crops, restore the feeding of our beef and livestock, to one of what is healthy for our consumption, Not the current way where this industry uses every unhealthy practice and food source for the sole purpose to increase profits at the expense of the health of the population. It is vital that we start to change immediately: To wait any longer is catastrophic for the future of the United States.
