NATURAL REAL FOODS VS DEAD FOODS

The question is who would want to eat dead foods? Vultures! Unless you are a vulture or hyena why would you want to ever eat dead foods...which many are not even foods. They consist of additives, antibiotics, fillers, sugars and have zero nutritional value?  And we are not talking about road kill we are talking about 90 percent of the food on grocery stores including GMO'S, cereals, potato chips, crackers, pastries, donuts, pizzas, hot dogs, junk foods, fast foods, tv dinners, and pre-packaged foods of every description.

Unless its a specialty store with real food labels and history and if it is on the shelf and in a package it is probably dead food.  Foods are loaded with all of these chemicals that we cant even pronounce to give foods longer shelf life and give mega corporations billions of dollars.  For the record these mega corporations don't give a dam about you and your good health.  They only care about the bottom line corporate profits at your health's expense ripping you off as they cater to their stock holders and mega food corporations.

LETS GET REAL WE HAVE ALL HEARD OF CHANGING YOUR EATING HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFE...BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO IT?  OLD HABITS ARE HARD TO BREAK WITH 70 PERCENT OF THE US POPULATION OVERWEIGHT LEANING TO OBESE AND PEOPLE'S GENERAL HEALTH ON THE DECLINE WITH HUNDREDS OF DISEASES BEING TREATED BY DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS... MANY LEADING TO AN EARLY DEATH?

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU MOST OF THESE DISEASES ARE CAUSED BY EATING DEAD NON-NUTRITIONAL FOODS AND THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO DO IS TO CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS TO EIGHTY PERCENT NATURAL FOODS TO BEAT THE GRIM REAPER.  SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH. LIKE THE TENNIS SHOE COMMERICAL SAYS: "JUST DO IT"

Plant-based  foods and nonalcoholic spirits are just a few of the ways food is giving your health a boost. No one ever knows exactly what a year will bring, but the interest in healthier eating that has accompanied the on going COVID 19 pandemic doesn’t appear to be fading anytime soon, and that’s a good thing.

It may come as no surprise that plant-based  foods continue to be exceedingly popular, with sales increasing almost twice as quickly as those of overall food sales, per the Good Food Institute.  “I am really excited about seeing more people following a  flexitarian eating plan,” says Laura M. Ali. RD, a culinary nutritionist in Pittsburgh. “It gives people who may not want to become vegetarian  or vegan the ability to eat more plants but still incorporate some seafood, meat, dairy, and eggs.”

Of course, COVID has continued to affect our grocery shopping habits too. “The pandemic has caused supply chain shortages, as well as an increased awareness of food waste,” says Christina Badaracco, MPH,  a registered dietitian in Washington, DC, who focuses on sustainability.
