Know What Truly Nurtures You
DISCLAIMER:
I am not a vegan. I am a vegetarian. I have family members, and close friends who eat meat. I have no problem with that. Food preferences are a personal topic, and I would like to leave it at that.
There’s so much to talk about in the world of food manufacturing. Bu, what’s there to talk about and why is it important to create awareness?
Products and packaging that are at the eye level for children in the shelf, lure them into unhealthy habits.
These packaged foods that we consume in America, most of them can’t be sold in Europe because they won’t pass regulations.
Artificial colors that enter into our body, and will never leave it because the liver doesn’t know what these products are. And so can’t process them.
In this food series, I am going to profile some of the most vocal food activists around the world.
A few of the great heroes in this field are Vandana Shiva, Gary Yourofsky, Food Babe (Vani Hari), Michael Pollan and most recently, Jonathan Safran Foer.
There is so much talk about: what is Monsanto doing, what is happening in slaughter houses, the business of animal shit in America and around the world. And the destruction of forests around the world to make them into animal feeding crop fields. We’re just starting.
Let’s begin. I want you to start by asking yourself, “Do I know the source of my food?”
