Check out this wonderful, engaging presentation about the state of our health, and most notably the food supply and knowledge we're providing our children.
I was quite moved. Watch for yourself and share your thoughts!~
Do you ever think about what's in the "food" you eat? i use that term loosely, because so much of what is sold as food today has many chemicals and additives included in the package. I was watching a young man yesterday unwrap a granola bar and take a few bites, and then he washed it down with an energy drink. It made me wonder if that is typically how he eats, how many chemicals he might ingest over the course of a day, a week, or many years. Do we really want our organs to use their energy to constantly process chemicals, or could that energy be better used in absorbing nutrients from pure clean foods?
