Food is way more important than we know. I think this is a topic that most of us look at and in our heads we all go, "ya I know I should be more healthy." This is serious though. After taking a few classes about the food industry, and seeing some of the most life-changing documentaries I have come to reason that food is one of the most important decisions we make throughout our day. The food you eat can either make you tired, it can make you focused, give you energy, etc. When you are in your car feeling tired, stressed, and hungry, going through the McDonalds drive through can be one of the worst decisions you make that day.
So apparently nutritionists now days are comparing chemically produced ingredients to cocaine/heroine. This is huge. They are actually comparing food to drugs that are taking lives every hour. I was speechless when I heard the reasoning behind it. Sugar now days is taken into a lab, goes through a process and becomes refined sugar. Which is exactly how cocaine and heroine become cocaine and heroine. The difference is, when you see sugar, or high fructose corn syrup on an ingredient they have been approved by the FDA so it must be ok for your body, right? Wrong, anything that was created in a lab, with a whole bunch of chemicals, should not be put inside your body. Yes I am aware that our stomachs are basically full of chemicals as well, but it is still different.
These foods cannot be properly digested in our bodies, and they are created to be addicting. Another sad fact, this ingredient, is EVERYWHERE. They also have changed the name of certain sugars too, some of those ingredients, when you buy processed food, that you cannot even pronounce, that ingredient makes you addicted. This really makes my blood boil because food is something that is so important day to day. Food is so important it can literally have qualities that relax you, better than heroine. I think this is something that we really need to be careful about. So many people do not think it is getting that bad, or it is a serious as we think it is. Listen, food can affect the way we think, act, and feel. Food is so important, it is something humans should not go a day without. If there are foods out there that can make you feel better, look more attractive, why would you eat food that might give you pleasure for a hot second, but then makes your skin oily and your energy low. This is an epidemic. We need to start caring more about our diets, I know I will. Will you?
