Okay, so if you know me personally, then you know I have an aversion to processed foods and eating out! Now don't get me wrong, there are a couple of processed items that I eat on occasion, and every once in a while I will eat out, but these events take place rarely.
This semester I am taking a class where the professor has provided online information for the class to view, and I just finished watching an ABC news report (by Peter Jennings from 2004 I believe) on the food industry. I'd like to encourage you to watch it, if you care to, you may find it in the archives on ABC News or even You Tube. The gist is that the government subsidizes the food industry to produce food. So, if you think about things that way I do, then .... I'm not going to finish that thought for reasons of my own, but again if you know me personally, give me a call and we can chat about it! LOL
Kraft was the only company that said it would do something, but again this was 2004, so I'll have to look into their record.
My point in all this is that among the daily choices you make regarding the foods you eat and drink try to make as many healthy choices as you can. Like cut out soda and most juices, drink water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, take the time to make your own food at home, and take your lunch with you to work/school, where ever. That way, you know what you're eating, what is in it (ingredients I mean) and where you purchased it from. Keep this in mind, fast food is grown fast, processed fast, and cooked or reheated fast. All that speed can't be good in the long run. Think about it, let me know what you think and let me know what changes you're willing to make in your life.
Much love,
Jeri
