Today's fast-paced environment may seem to make proper eating difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Armed with a little knowledge, some of the items that you’ve consumed without thinking about them will quickly disappear from your meal planning. It is a lot easier to make good food choices when you begin to understand the ramifications of poor ones.
For the most part, we know good food choices from bad ones so please don’t pretend you are not poisoning yourself when you choose to eat things that are clearly unhealthy for you. Cancer, diabetes and heart disease don’t just happen. YOU “grow them” in your body by feeding and encouraging their growth and development with carcinogenic chemicals and unnatural sugar consumption oftentimes hidden in “America’s favorite foods”.
The following is a list of the top ten most popular foods eaten in America that are generally purchased at fast food restaurants. When you understand how chemically infested, toxic, and dangerous these items really are, I hope it affects how you order the next time you find yourself contemplating fast-food fare. You should avoid eating:
1. Hamburgers
2. Hot Dogs
3. Chicken Nuggets
4. French Fries
5. Oreo Cookies: The number one cookie in America
6. Franchised Pizza
7. Soda
8. Ice cream
9. Donuts
10. Potato Chips: America’s #1 snack food
Most of these items are deep fried or baked with oil at high temperatures which cause the cancer-causing chemical, acrylimide to be released. This same chemical is released in cheeses that are cooked at high temperatures on pizza and many pizza ingredients used in commercial, high production kitchens, are genetically modified. Processed meats are full of bacteria, dyed red to hide the green putrefaction that has set in and made from the lowest grade meat discards in the slaughterhouse. Ice cream, soda and cookies are full of fat, artificial flavors, preservatives to prolong shelf life and sugar.
None of these items have any healthful or nutritional value for you, yet they are the top 10 foods consumed by most Americans.
“How does the government let this happen?” you might ask. Simple. Food is big business. As a nation we are in denial of the obvious fact that manufacturers use chemical intervention to increase their product’s shelf-life or flavor because we don’t elect to acknowledge it when and item “tastes so good”. We’d rather eat the cookie, pizza or cupcake in blind bliss. Or would we? Everyone wants to live a long healthy life. Help your body make your life-expectancy goal a reality instead of working against it. Good eating is a matter of choice… Make the right one! |
