And we wonder why everyone is so sick in this country? It can be very difficult to find the time and money to take raw ingredients and turn them into a satisfying meal. But living a life where you are tired, overweight, and never quite satisfied with your food is no way to live.
Message me if you ever need pointed in the direction of good, local food! There are so many vegetable, fruit, and meat farmers in our community that you can buy from. Not to mention all the local bakeries, butchers, and even a local tortilla shop by way of CARAMELO! If you haven’t tried their tortillas you really should, you can find them at Steve's Meat Market and The Merc Co+op.
Human “biology was never intended to handle” ultraprocessed foods, says former FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler.
“Corn syrup, corn solids, maltodextrin, dextrose, xylose, high-fructose corn syrup. And then these ingredients were subjected to industrial processing so that our system can’t handle it,” Kessler tells 60 Minutes.
Ultraprocessed foods — the boxed, packaged and ready-to-eat products lining grocery store shelves — now make up 50% of our calories and 60% of our children’s diets.
Kessler believes these foods have altered our metabolism and have resulted in the greatest increase in chronic disease in our history.
