You know when food isn't just food anymore when a standard package of ground turkey at the supermarket says "Contains: Turkey and Natural Flavors"..... My first thought was "WHAT THE *#&@ IS THAT!?!?!" And then I proceeded to put the package back in the case and search for a different "All Natural Brand" that said "Contains: Turkey". What is "Natural Flavors" any how? Doesn't the turkey have enough flavor all by its self. You can add all the spices you want while your cooking it at home.
Further more, do people not realise their food is being tampered with? More & more additives, MSG, sugars & sodium are added to the foods Americans love to eat every day. And foods that say "Fat Free", sure they take out the fat, but they add loads of sugar to help with taste. There are so many things out there wrong with the food that people eat on a day to day basis. But most don't care any more, if it tastes good, smells good, & looks good... they eat it. It just goes in their mouths and they don't think twice about it. WAKE UP & SMELL THE COFFEE PEOPLE! Stop shoving that McDonald's in your face and really look at what your eating. That Double Cheese Burger with a Large Fry isn't just beef & potatoes. The burger has been designed in a lab so that you will be hungry sooner and want more & more of it. And the potatoes have "beef extract" added, which adds more fats than what your already getting from eating those deep fried potatoes. Not to mention the crazy amount of salt they put on them. Salt lick anyone?
My message to my readers is this: Just watch what your consuming. Some "Healthy Foods" really aren't healthy at all because of everything food manufacturers add to it. Try to minimize the amount of manufactured foods you eat. If its in a box or a bag... beware. A whole food diet is best. The more vegetables & fruit you eat the better and you'll feel better. And secondly, be aware of serving sizes.
Thank you for reading & come back soon for more posts. I know I'm not a health expert (far from it), I'm just sharing my opinion.
Jess you bring up some good points. Most people don't even think twice about what they are eating.
