The fat epidemic
It seems absurd,given that we know the health risk associated with being overweight and that we know what to do to avoid being overweight,but still our combined weight continues its upward 👆 trajectory.
Why? It's partly because of access to food. If we had to grow,harvest and prepare every ounce of nourishment that passed our lips, it's a guarantee we would eat less.
We would eat more natural foods 😋, prepared with fewer chemical additives and less with fat.
Instead, we buy food ready prepared from the supermarket. To keep it fresh tasting, the bread 🍞🍞🍞 we eat is already salted and sugared and packed E- numbers,while our fruit and vegetables are irradiated to give them longer life, or peeled and chopped and choved into tins.
This ensures that we develop an unnatural taste for highly seasoned, perfected food and turn our noses up at dirty organic carrots growing in bizzare shapes and lumpy home- made bread. The reason, for instance, that the peas we buy are always bright green is because market testing showed that consumers simply wouldn't buy the uncoloured variety- in its natural state- a pea is a dull grey- green colour.
We are brought up with the idea that food is easy to get and should always look like it does on the food label. Unfortunately, this means that we eat a diet that is low in nutrition but high in chemicals and added sugars and fats, these latter contributing to our burgeoning weight problem.
But why do we eat so much of this rubbish? Because food manufacturer wants us to.
They need to make money 💰 so they bombared us with advertising to induce us to eat not only at mealtimes but also between meals, while we watch TV, qhen we see friends 🙂 and when we want to celebrate our success or console ourselves after our disasters.
Food is even being advertized as a way of boosting.
The other major cause of our weight problem is the sedentary nature of our lifestyle.
Anyways the choice is yours 😜 you will eat healthy food or not it's yours!!
Choosing the right food,choosing the wealth.. because health is wealth..
Sche-Shang here!!
Stay blessed 💗
