Episode 124: Do You Know What You Are Really Eating?


Listen Later

I’m soaking up all Bend, OR has to offer! This town is seriously a dream, especially for nature lovers. The scenery is gorgeous, there are scenic trails everywhere, and the weather right now is perfect! I’ve also been eating and drinking my way through some of the cute cafes in town. Of course, I enjoy a treat as much as the next person, but as I looked at the options in the small little cafes’ I started to see a pattern. Sugar. Sugar everywhere. This got me thinking about our United States food system and how little we actually know about the food we consume.

In this episode I discuss:

  • Corruption in the US food system;
  • The number of lobbyists for the Dept. of Agriculture within Congress;
  • Why our food is so processed;
  • How our food is making us sick;
  • How food can be the cure to our sicknesses;
  • Ingredients in our food;
  • Lack of education around nutrition and consumption;
  • Fad diets;
  • The US food industry vs. other nations;
  • Taking time to read and understand food labels;
  • Rebuilding a broken system;
  • Practicing being mindful of what we are consuming
  • The US food system cannot be ignored. The more people talk about it, the more awareness there is of the poison we are masking as food, which in turn creates a sense of urgency to fix the system. I truly believe that the entire organization needs an overhaul. If you feel the same- let’s talk about it!
