Food glorious food as someone once belted out...or is it? As we roam the supermarket isles our eyes and our noses are assaulted with a plethora of choices. What to eat? Do we choose the brightly colored box of cereal that claims to be high in fiber? Do we get the "oats" that are sweetened and formed into a square and individually packaged for those "on the go"? Do we choose the junk food disguised as health food that claims to have added vitamins or our daily dose of this or that? Or do we skip the convenience and buy food in its *gasp* original form!!My mom sent me this article...all I have to say is AMEN to that!

Many of you know that I am somewhat of a food Nazi(the spell checker said that I should capitalize that word, but just so you know I am not now nor have I ever been affiliated with the Nazi party....is it a party...didn't really seem like anyone was having much fun?? but I digress) I am far from perfect (especially compared to my sister Alicia) but the more that I learn and see the more I can't wait to get my farm and try and live off of the land! Our society is so incredibly unhealthy and all we do with the symptoms of our unhealthy lifestyle is cover them up with over the counter this and that and prescription drugs. When really so many of our problems that we have could be cured by a change in lifestyle IE: FOOD!
As our good friend Tara pointed out a few weeks ago at church we are the wealthiest nation and we have endless amounts of food...yet we are starving because of the poor quality of the food that we are eating.(she paralleled that with how many of us are spiritually starving...it was a great talk) I really could go on and on with both of those topics but I will spare you : )
My new friend Kirstin has a great link on her blog about MSG...very interesting stuff. MSG is a neurotoxin which basically means that it tricks our brain into believing that it tastes good....crazy man!
Here is another good one for the next time you think about eating fast food

Anyway, sorry for the rant...again! I think I apologize a lot on here. But it is good information and it needs to be shared.
