This weeks "Foodie Digest" post is touching on the True definition of " Natural Foods". We are living in a society where everything that we pick up says " Natural" or "100% Natural" , which unfortunately is not always the case. The downside about it is that we are also dealing with a society where the consumers( Us, We "the people" have basically been hijacked on a food level by the Food Drug Administration ( FDA). We basically have become lab rats.. whatever scientists can come up with they have been given the stamp of approval to use us as the scape goats. "Truly Natural" foods hinders this process and trust me if its something you have been thinking about trying there is a world of people, knowledge and support on social media, support groups and of course reading material. The idea of eating " Natural" is basically cutting the middle man out of the equation. What I eat I want to be Unprocessed, meaning I don't want someone at a factory or lab injecting my meat to make it a pleasurable color or farmers injecting my meat to make it grow faster. I want foods that are minimally processed and if i choose to eat something unprocessed allow me to make that decision. Soo much of today's food is highly processed from the fruits that is in a can to the TV dinners found in the "healthy " foods found in the frozen food section. It's all processed to attract us to purchase these foods, they are processed to have longer shelf life. So you ask how do you know what's Natural and what's not? Easy! Take the Natural Foodie test.. Read the ingredients those foods with outrageous ingredients that you would never be able to have access to or create in its whole form is processed, they are not Natural.ingredients so there's no way it would be able to produce natural foods .. Start slow.. start easy and sometimes you have to start small.. Don't give into the MYTH that you can't eat Natural and healthy while eating good too .. I'm a "Foodie" all day and I would NEVER sacrifice delicious foods for a healthier lifestyle, its not an even trade to me. Hope it brought some kind of understanding to the emails I received.
