Don’t make it so complicated
22.05.08Don’t make it so complicated. - Extract from Nutritional Responsibility by Tim Goodwin
The manufacturers of this modern diet don’t help the situation much either, the labelling and packaging of most products are designing to sell more of the product rather than aid better “choice” of the product!
Low fat
Low salt
Low sugar
Low carb
If it is “low” in all this stuff, what the hell is in this stuff then!
Is low fat really what we want, does low carb mean we will be missing out on some good old vegetables?
The real answer to all this is we don’t want to be even entertaining these products in the first place. The problem is often too much information rather a lack of it!
If I said that eating fresh and clean produce that has not been processed in any way is the BEST way to optimise your nutrition, would you disagree?
Maybe this sounds TOO simplistic for many people?
But really it is nothing more than that, why is it we feel compelled to ignore this simple fact and eat all the other junk that is placed in front of us?
This is not the place to answer that question, all I will say is that we need to find a way to change the availability of fresh and clean produce in our households to improve our chances of getting this into our normal nutritional habits.
We need to start taking responsibility for the foods and fluids that we consume on a daily basis and reverse all the health problems that currently afflict us!
