What is the World Coming To?

Knowledge is power.  Or as I rather say, the RIGHT knowledge is power.  

Disease has become an industry.  The food that fuels disease is an industry. So when the television comes on and I see an add for something that is obviously not healthy being touted for being 'healthy', I want to scream!  It's bad enough that food companies LIE as they advertise, but it's ridiculous the amount of people who would fall for it.  I'm not trying to be insulting.  The ignorance of so many is astounding.  But seriously, wouldn't common sense and a little usage of brain power spell out to people "There is no WAY that is healthy!!" no matter what the TV or magazine ads say??  Isn't it obvious that chocolate milk (just as regular pasteurized and homogenized milk) is full of sugar and can't be healthy just because it has calcium?  Isn't it obvious that children's nutrition should come from real, whole and natural food and not 'jump-started' with a so-called nutritious chocolate drink full of synthetic vitamins and, oh yeah, more sugar???  What about the new Shredded Frosted Wheat that has 'a touch of fruit' in the middle?  The crazy thing is that there really are people out there who would pick that off the shelf of a grocery store and say 'Hey - fruit! It's healthy!'  No! No! NO!!  
Read the ingredients! Become familiar with what you're seeing on those ingredient lists.  In fact, I think I shall compile a list of stuff you'll see on most packaged foods that you will want to avoid.  In the meantime, food it's most natural, unprocessed, uncooked form is the food you should be eating!
