What Happened to the REAL food?
15.05.08Extract from Nutritional Responsibility by Tim Goodwin
White is the new black… it seems that our “food” is colourless, everything from bread, pasta, rice, chips, fries etc… it is all without colour.
And without colour, means without any nutritional value either!
Unfortunately these products make up a huge percentage of our modern diet…
When you go to a restaurant, it is rare to find on the menu, something that is served with REAL vegetables, and I don’t mean potato wedges either!
Green stuff, red stuff, yellow stuff, orange stuff…
This means carrots, broccoli, beans, peppers, lettuce, pulses, beans etc
Go to the local supermarket and you’ll find aisle upon aisle of pre-packaged, vacuum packed, heavily processed “meats” and “other” products.
You rarely buy a simple chicken, you now get a chicken filet covered in breadcrumbs, packed with something described as cheese and a microwave only sticker to nuke this poor excuse for food!
The “fresh” fruit and vegetable stand gradually gets smaller and smaller, the meat deli counter contains less raw produce such as lean cuts of meat, poultry and fish and the space is given over to the bland, artificial tastes of the mass produced convenience foods of the 21st century!
The situation has got so bad, many people have forgotten what REAL food actually tastes like!
What’s worse is our health is gradually deteriorating because of this low nutritional intake. We get ill more often, our body fat levels are rising at an alarming rate and the structural health of our body means we have more joint problems than ever before!
More coming soon, including how to get the nutritional responsibility program and get your eating habits in order in 30 days.
