It’s the food!
Many of the traditional foods have extra calories added to them in the form of mass-produced vehicles like high fructose corn syrup.
These new freak foods are designed not by chefs, but by lab technicians packing every morsel with maximum calories at minimum cost—with little or no regard to dietary impact. Indeed, Eat This, Not That! 2011: Thousands of easy food swaps that can save you 10, 20, 30 pounds--or more!
has uncovered the truth about some of your favorite fast food and grocery store items and how they're causing you to pack on unnecessary pounds. It’s enough to kill your appetite, which—in these cases, anyway—would be a good thing. The company that makes these patties specializes in taking slaughterhouse trimmings—heads and hooves and the like—that are traditionally used only in pet food and cooking oil, and turning them into patties.

That is awesome! Real food is the way to go. We are blessed to have church members who are farmers so we get our food from them and from my hubby's parents as well. Keep on eating optimally.
ReplyDeleteGreat post as usual. It is crazy that they put HFCS in everything.
ReplyDeleteMy husband read something interesting in his Naturopathy studies a couple of years ago. When HFCS came out and was about to be approved by the FDA, the current man in charge didn't want to approve it because it was already then linked to diabetes in studies etc...The man opposing HFCS was forced to resign but he wrote about the dangers of it..Amazing how money rules...
So true - how money rules. Imagine being forced to resign because you have people's best interests at heart. Sad.
ReplyDeleteI feel lucky to be living overseas in Southeast Asia for the past 9 years where I can get real food easily from real farmers. I didn't like it at first, even though I was already a vegetarian, I was used to the tastes of processed foods. But now I have learned to love REAL food and I can really taste the difference when I go back to the states to visit. I am high raw vegan now. I just can't eat that junk anymore!
