Our Toxic Food Supply

There is so much agita in the world right now, especially around our food and the multitude of toxic substances contained therein.  It’s fascinating that news around this fact of our food supply – which by the way is not new information - is so divisive.  The finger-pointing and conspiracy theories are a bit over the top.

Are you honestly telling me that you didn’t know that hot dogs and chips and ice cream and candy and soda were unhealthy?    

And somehow this is now a concerted effort by the companies that produce these foods to kill us?

Come on.

It’s true that consumption of the ultra-processed foods that are so ubiquitous in the U.S. is one of the biggest factors at play in our collective ill-health and early deaths; it’s also true that we don’t have to eat them.

Villainizing the companies that produce the foods that we demand is one way to approach the problem I suppose, but it’s pretty dishonest.

If you want to improve your health, stop blaming others and just make better choices.
