Do we really know what is on our supermarket shelves

Last night my husband and I went to see the film Food Inc.. The film is a inside look at our food industry.  It is very compelling, educational  and  disturbing. The film won rave reviews in all the major publications and was released on a limited schedule... I thought I would have to wait for the film to come out on DVD but fortunately and to my surprise it is playing at the Flower Hill Cinemas... yeah! right in my backyard. Click on the link below to view the trailer... I encourage you all to see this film and use your buying power whenever you buy food to ensure you and your family stay healthy and put quality back on our market shelves.

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults

Eat Junk and Go Hungry

Good Morning,

Today I thought it would be interesting for you to see how  1800 cal per day can look based on food choices...

First the " Junk Food Plan" 1800 calories

Breakfast at Krispy Kreme:  one glazed doughnut filled with custard and a 16oz latte

Lunch at Mcdonalds:   A crispy chicken california cobb salad and a small reg coke

Dinner at pizza Hut:  two slices of hand tossed meat lovers pizza and a 12oz beer.

Only 6 items of food can add up to 1800 cals... The above food choices also provided 85 grams of fat, 209 grams of carbs and 3216 grams of sodium!

Second the" Meat Eater Nutrient Dense Plan"  1800 calories

Breakfast:  8oz low fat yogurt with 1 and 1/2 cups of fresh black berries,  1 egg and 1 slice of whole grain bread and 1/2 teaspoon butter

Snack: 1 small apple

Lunch: 5 ozs of broiled wild salmon, 2 cups spinach, 1/2 cup tomatoes, with olive oil and balsamic dressing

Snack: handful of raw almonds, cup of low-fat milk

Dinner:  5oz broiled  of lean beef filet , with 5 cups of raw veggies, ( Lightly steam broccoli etc) 

Assume that you are drinking herb tea and lots of water.

The above nutrient dense plan gives you a lot more food and and almost all of the nutrients needed for good health.

I encourage you to begin to eat a more healthful diet today. Begin to make better choices!
