The foodie meet -up covered alot of topics today but the strongest feeling were directed towards the American diet and how sick, and fat, it is making those who partake of the fast and frozen food market. We have all been there: too busy to cook because we are active and have active children who require our driving skills. Too busy to cook because we can always find something else to do. Too busy to cook because we don't know how to cook and don't want to fail.
Who needs to cook anyway? The store shelves are filled with "safe" and "healthy" food that will fill our bellies so why bother making things from the raw ingredients?
The answer to why fresh and not processed is life. But not just life, vitality while alive. Too many of us know someone dear to us who is not dying today but not really living well either. That someone might even be ourselves. We are not experiencing vital health but are not on our death bed either. We are doing just "fine". Fine by whose standard? Are you over 40 and expect to have all those "middle age" aches and pain?s. Are you over 60 and expect to have some cancer because statistics tell us someone will get it? Have you ever considered that the American foodstyle of soda pop, processed and fast food could be slowly killing you even if it is affordable and downright cheap? These foodstyle choices are all highly acidic in nature. Your body is not in a "happy place" while acid and seeks to neutralize the internal chemistry by any means possible. If you feed it alkaline food and water, your body can do its job, keeping you alive and even vital. Disease will flourish in acid environments.
What is your chemistry doing today? How are you feeding your "engine"? Are you JUST fine?
