What Are You Eating?

There are many different ways of eating these days. You may have heard of eating clean, vegan, vegetarian, Paleo, gluten free, or real food. The thing is while all these ways eating are suppose to make people healthier, they may be doing some harm.

Just because you are eating a diet in vegetables does not mean you are eating healthier if they are genetically mutant organisms, and laden with pesticides. So, you wash your vegetables, but many are injected with pesticides, so when they are used it will not harm the plant, but will you.

The best way to make sure you are not be poisoned by your food is to eat organic. While organic has its issues it is better than the GMO junk which contains other unhealthy chemicals.

• High Fructose Corn Syrup which is contaminated with mercury, also comes from corn which is 86% genetically mutant. You will find this in breads, sauces, condiments, pop, candy, and more read the label, and run.
•  They also contain sugar which comes from the sugar beet which is 95% genetically modified.
• Many contain some type of soy, soy lecithin, or soybean oil, 93% of all soy is genetically modified. Some may contain either cottonseed oil, or canola oil, 90% of canola is genetically modified, while 93% of all cotton products are modified. 
• Mono-sodium glutamate may be lurking disguised as natural flavoring, or glutamic acid. This ingredient is known to promote growth of cancer, and also aids to spread cancer cells.
•  Aspartame is found as a sugar substitute in no sugar added products, and is deadly.
•  Artificial coloring makes foods look pretty, but did you know that they are made from chemicals which are derived from petroleum? Which are also used to make gasoline, tar, diesel fuel, and asphalt.

 Now if that doesn't make you want to start eating real food (organic) I don't know what would. Did you know that all the major illnesses we deal with have risen drastically since 1995? That was when they really starting mutating the food supply. Did you also know that many people have been cured of certain health issues by switching to real food (organic)? Did you also know that our bodies do not recognize the GMO junk, and it is the reason for obesity, and other illnesses?

Let me share my personal experience with GMO junk, and real food. I have worked out, and watched what I ate for over 20 years. I learned what I could eat, how much weight I could gain, and how to exercise to maintain my ideal weight. Last year, I found that a normal meal I would eat no longer satisfied me, thus I started gaining weight that my normal work out routine did not effect.

I started learning about GMOs, and learned the reason I was not satisfied after a meal was because the food I was eating no longer contained the vitamins and minerals our bodies need. Here I was thinking my body needed more food!! We started eating all organic, and the weight dropped right off with out changing anything. Now I have more energy, and feel better than I have felt in awhile.

You are probably wondering why it didn't effect me years ago. That is because they have done this little by little, like adding a drop of food dye to a body of water. At first you don't notice it, but as time goes by all of the sudden you notice the water is purple??? I believe at this time GMOs are at their peek of devastating the health and lives of Americans.

GMOs are also known to cause violent behavior. My teens would physically fight at least once a month. I have noticed that this has not happened in months. It could be because they are older now, but I think the GMOs did have something to do with it. Additional hormones in food can cause a host of problems in the body, I believe that is the cause for the violent behavior.

If this sounds like you I challenge you to eat organic for a month, and see if the extra weight doesn't come off, and you feel better. This is only if it has been a recent occurrence like mine was.

Eating out has become a challenge, but we have 3 restaurants we will eat at. Even still there is only one thing we will eat at them, fish. One time we strayed from this rule, and found our selves sick later that evening. Won't make that mistake again.
