Why am I eating?



I was not concerned about my food until I went to Greece.  Every meal I had in Europe actually was so amazing. A tomato is a fruit...well at least the ones I had from Greece. I could eat a tomato there like you eat an apple or peach.The produce was not shiny..it looked a little dirty actually. Every banana, apple, pear, kiwi, cucumber, onion, tomato were all smaller than ours in America. You did not find watermelons without seeds, or milk sold in huge gallons.  Things from the grocery store would spoil in a matter of a few days. And food was relatively cheap. There were not all these preservatives in what I was eating.




I am to a great extent freaked out, and sickened about the way our food is being treated.  Genetically modified, waxy, oversized produced IS NOT NATURAL. I am just a little confused as to why its even called food. It's kind of like half food half chemical.. but for some reason it is more expensive...its brought in from other countries...slaves pick our food for horrible wages. Organic food in America is very expensive. Why? It is natural...the way God intended... It should not be a right whether you're rich or poor to be able to afford food that is natural. 
Some movies to check out are Food Inc, and Food Matters. Watch these and tell me that you don't want to stand up and say something-- or just move out of the USA..

  1. This is a true fact. We and I mean America have transfromed food to make it cheaper. I mean that we make it so we can make a lot of food in a little bit of time. Which means may chemicals.

    You are also right about eatting any natural foods here is really expensive. Which is why Americans are really over weight compared to the rest of the world.

    If only our population wasn't so big to feed and we could feed people without chemicals and other probelms. :)
