First post, Food information.

I recenetly came across something which I thought may be beneficial to the community. A book created by the makers of Men's Health called Eat this, Not that, Supermarket Survival Guide. They also have a kids guide and a recipe cook book which I will be picking up on my next visit to the city. However just reading through the book a little bit makes me realize how much we as the people are taken advantage of in the supermarket by the food industry.

We need to, and reserve the right to change the way we eat and live, and if we allow the food industry to control our lives by making us fat by misinformation, then we have lost the battle. All and all, time, is what runs our lives, and the food industry knows that its about whats fast, not whats healthy. Well here is some food for thought, If we spent more time thinking about what we put into our bodies, and more time shopping for the proper foods and buying only the foods which are less processed the food industry itself would have to make changes based off the demand for healthy/Non processed foods.

Hopefully in turn saving our future generations from obesity and keeping our children healthy and active. Lots of things that we dont realize about food and the way it is produced is in this book, and can be quite disturbing. I warn you read at your own risk. But knowledge is power, and without individuals that have a passion to change something, nothing will ever change.

Well, I implore this community that is all about change, for yourself, your children, and future generations, if you truly care about change, Dont just change yourself, change the industry. It needs to be held accountable for its misdeeds. Word of mouth this book, and hopefully people will become more aware of what they buy, eat and put into their bodies. And if all else fails EAT ORGANIC, and hit the food industry where it hurts, its WALLET.
