Good Food/Bad Food What's Left to Eat
by Kathryn Martyn, M.NLP
I think there's a very good reason humans desire sweet foods -
Vitamin C, and other nutrients, including bio-flavnoids.
Can You Be Addicted to Fruit?
I heard someone complain they were "addicted to fruit" and I had
to wonder, what do they eat? The person who refuses to eat fruit
because they believe it is too high in sugar, probably does eat
cookies, crackers and sugary cereals. They might even drink
artificially flavored and sweetened drinks, but they refuse to
eat a natural food, grown from our earth? That makes no sense, if
you think about it. Did our planet develop and thrive based on
processed foods? No, of course not. They are very recent in the
evolution of our world. Very recent. In fact, we've had processed
foods less than 200 years while our planet is millions of years
old.
With the high incidence of obesity, and our high consumption of
processed foods, it's hard not to draw the conclusion that one
causes the other. You won't hear big industry stating that case
because our economy depends on us buying the products being
produced by the companies that employ us. You'll never see it
reported that "scientists discovered refined flour kills," even
if it were proven true because it doesn't support our way of
life. We need industry.
Witnessing the epidemic of food illnesses such as Mad Cow, and
now Bird Flu, I can envision a society without the mass produced
meat industry. It will come to pass - nothing but your local farm
will be allowed to sell meat because the big farm industry cannot
guarantee safety of the food supply. Meat will become much more
expensive because when they can no longer mass produce it, there
is nowhere for prices to go but up. So do we whine and cry and
moan about our misfortune or do we start to think of meat as
something to savor and enjoy like the Sunday roasts we had years
ago? We never ate meat every day then - and we weren't so fat
either. We simply didn't eat as much processed foods. Most of us
had moms at home cooking us dinner, making our lunches and even
fixing our breakfasts.
Yes, progress marches on, but when it comes to your body, common
sense rules the day. The Common Sense Diet! Try it on for size
today.
