We are now living in the biggest obesity epidemic that has ever been known to mankind.
Why do you think this is happening???Well, I am 45 years old and all I can tell you is that when I was growing up, my mom was making home made meals for my large family all of the time. I am the youngest of 10 children (20 years between the oldest and myself) and she always found time to be in our kitchen and prepare great meals.
When women slowly started working outside of the home, for very good reasons (improve income, financial independence, spare change etc....) the fast food restaurant industry took advantage of the situation and started expanding at a rapid pace. This is the era that the microwave became popular for our society that was spending less and less time in the kitchen.
TV dinners, Hungry Man and hot dogs and fries became a growing staple in the home. More and more of mom's home cooked meals were being replaced by the fast food. This lead us to eating in front of the tv and spending less time as a family unit sitting at the table to have our meals together.
It is a proven fact that when you eat in front of the tv there is a huge amount of subliminal messages that go on that we cannot see with the naked eye but this makes us eat faster and makes us want that food. Ever wonder why the world's famous clown (Ronald) and Wendy's logo is more recognized worldwide than the Pope?
We really have to get back into the kitchen and prepare real meals , with the best food we can purchase and made with love instead of preservatives, msg and ingredients that we cannot even pronounce...
This video entitled "Ingredients" shows you that you really are what you eat and how great food can go from an organic farmer to a restaurant and keep its beautiful juicy freshness..the way it was meant to be...from the seed to the plate..mmmm....
Stay healthy , until next time...
