You all heard the saying, “Garbage in-garbage out?” This usually for what you put into your brain by what you watch online or TV; or what you read. In this case, it is what a person eat. Is it good for you? Is it healthy? Or is it junk food? Is it process food?

   There are more and more restaurants discovering and using local, organic ingredients. There are farmer’s markets popping up in communities in every state-markets where customers could get to know the people growing their food. Check your local farmer’s market to see if they used chemicals or not in their growing cycle. Farmers who don’t used chemicals are the ones to buy from. They are true organic, all-natural. If they used any forms of chemicals, do not buy from them! 

   It’s sad to say but very true, fast food is the way most people feed themselves in this country now days. Fast foods isn’t necessary at least fast food chains. It’s also process food that is quick to fix due to our busy schedule. Fast food is also any type of food that is grown with herbicides and pesticides, industrially mass-produced, and most often process or ultra-process with additives and preservatives. You could/would find them in your grocery stores. 

    If you’re eating in a fast food restaurant, or in a fast food way, not only are you malnourishing yourself, but you’re also unwittingly digesting the values of this fast food culture. 

    I was taught an young age to eat my vegetables. My mother always made sure I got my daily dose of vegetables from the time I was a toddler. When she took me with her and my real father, he would complained that she bought me vegetables with my meal. He was cheap and thought that hamburger and fries was good enough. 

    Now days, we seems to be too busy to cook healthy meals. We want something quick and easy to make. Convenience is the fast food value that says everything should be effortless, as a breeze.

    How many remember those days when your mother would actually cook a good home-cooked meal? 

    My mother did that; plus worked outside the home and raised a family. We had a big family too. 

    Many of us don’t even think of cooking meals from scratch anymore, because we assume it’s too difficult and demands too much time. Many of us don’t even want to leave the house to go shopping. Plus, it’s cost more to buy healthy foods. Buying junk, process food is cheaper than healthy food. Yet in the long run, it keeps the doctor away when a person eat healthy. Doctors are only in it to make money. The more people they see who eats unhealthy, the more money they make. Then a person wondered why healthcare is so darn expensive?

    We have become more and more impatient when we choose what to cook-we want it easy and simple. We don’t have the actual time to actually cook a good healthy meal anymore. Families don’t sit down together to eat their meal. They are always on the run to and fro. 

    Growing up, we would sit together and eat supper as a family. That’s one thing my folks made damn sure we did. Living on a farm wasn’t always easy, because of the busy schedule. 

    In order to guarantee that certain vegetables “look right” industrial farms all around the world have turned to growing crops in greenhouses in highly controlled environments requiring the heavy use of herbicides and pesticides. The food doesn’t look and taste as good as food grown naturally without chemicals induce. 

   The health of the soil erodes with the use of more pesticides, making crops that aren’t part of the monoculture harder to grow. 

   How many of us, when we get to a hotel room, go straight to the minibar to see what’s there? We expect to find the same little package of salted nuts, the same soft drinks and chocolate bars and potato chips. 
   Fast food companies also go directly into elementary schools to lure children with toys for free, in hope that their parents would take them to the restaurants. 

    In our world, we’ve mixed up the idea of affordability with cheapness.

    The reason industrial farms use pesticides on their crops is so they can grow food more efficiently and profitable. 

    We have an obesity epidemic around the world that is being propelled by the fast food industry-not only through the processed sugary, fatty food. Plus, kids are not outside playing like they were in my youths. Instead, they are either in front of the TV, computer, smartphones, or video games. 

    Even Bill Gates and the Chinese government is buying up farmlands across every states; so that they can grow process food grown in lab. Foods that are grown in lab looks very unappealing to our taste buds. Plus it’s unhealthy as well.

    After the mishaps in the Wuhan’s lab that Dr. Nazi Fauci and Bill Gates know more about than what they are saying; why should we trust them to grow our food? They are poisoning us. 

    Get to know your farmers, to know who used pesticides and herbicides and who doesn’t. Those who does use chemicals, do not buy from.
