Calories, Salts, Fats and Sugars

The American diet has been hijacked by processed foods designed to be cheap, salty, sweet, addictive, calorie dense and high in fats. The basic foundation for a healthy body comes from whole grain and plant based foods yet these don't exist anymore for most Americans. We have become addicted to deep fried, barbecued, donut, cheesy pizza and fatty meat that makes us drool yet slowly kills us. There are no pills that will save us from rotting from the inside out. Our only hope comes from educating ourselves on what we should be eating and how to make it. When was the last time you chopped a vegetable, steamed your food or prepared a meal from scratch? Take the time to use the fruits and vegetables you pass by every day at the grocery store and make a salad for lunch using a lowfat dressing. Make a spicy homemade chili with no meat or a create a vegetable soup. Grill some pineapple with some veggies. Look online for new ways to make great meals versus a box of instant food. You will be better for it.
