You Are What You Eat

I spent this evening educating myself by watching some very eye opening documentaries on my last day of Netflix before the free trial runs out.

King Corn: King Corn seemed very unbiased in it's presentation, but after the information it presented, I have decided to stick to my views on removing a great majority, if not all, of the High Fructose Corn Syrup and unnecessary additives in my diet.

Food Inc: Food Inc presented many things I already knew, and some things I still did not agree with, but I think it is things some people need to see in order to make the change to healthier, plant based diets. So many people are blind to what they eat and the suffering, filthiness, and disease associated with it. I cannot even fathom the things I once ate so blindly.

And it is really scary just how much power the food industry has in the world. It really is making me think twice about where I shop and what I buy.

Food Matters: Probably the most important documentary I have seen in my lifetime. It confirmed my thoughts of the last year about doctors, pills, foods, and health. I feel EVERYONE in my life needs to see this documentary and I will be recommending it to them all. It shows you examples of curing physical and psychological illness through nutrients. We live in a society where the taste and custom of eating food has become more important than our health and values.

I hope that my emotional rants do not discourage, but encourage you to examine your lifestyle and choose what is right for you, your family, and the environment. Just remember: You are what you eat.
