There is a huge industry in this country that is trying to convince us that it doesn’t matter what we eat. We are told that any combination of heated, treated, processed, chemicalized “foods” will meet our nutritional needs so long as we take plenty of vitamin pills, heartburn medicine, and headache remedies. There is another huge industry that is trying to convince us that what we eat has no effect on our health. So often, I see apathy about what goes in and on our bodies because the effects arent immediate. The lotion must be safe if it doesnt cause an immediate reaction to my skin... Despite the fact that petrochemicals, parabens, artificial colors and fragrances are permeating the skin and accumulating in the body over time. The processed food must be safe if it doesnt make me immediately sick to my stomach... Despite the fact that chemicals, additives, colors and nutritionally devoid frankenfood is being absorbed in the body, contributing to chronic disease. It matters, folks. I dont care if your 10 year old is active and appears healthy sucking down go-gurts and packaged food. I dont care if your latest blood work shows normal levels and your doc says youre a beacon of health. If youre eating crap food and putting crap products on your body, it will accumulate and it will catch up to you, one way or another. Im in denial myself, too often! This article is poignant because it illuminates the struggle we all have breaking from old habits and staying committed to clean, natural, wholistic living.
