Cheap Food & Getting Cheaper....

With the recent horse sh**, sorry, I mean horse meat, found in the prepackaged, prepared, highly processed, ready meals for sale at rock bottom prices in so many of these Big Supermarkets – is anyone really surprised?

Well, for one thing – you cannot possibly buy, cook, prepare and serve any wholesome, nutritious meal for that little money. Unless you are skimping on something or other….

Now, at least, we all know what was being skimped on. Or do we? Will there be yet more revelations about these dishes (or fodder, I can’t resist) where perhaps we find out sawdust was used instead of flour or that additives have been added to the already chemical flavourings (read; toxic)….

We all know that cheaper is not better – and when it comes to the food we eat, this holds truer than anything. Unfortunately, the more squeezed people become, the worse their diets seem to get.

When our spirits hit rock bottom – so too does the food we eat. We crave sweets, rubbish and make numerous poor food choices – perhaps to match our moods. But also because we have so little left over to buy anything better.

So, where does the ‘better’ food end up? Who on earth is not skimping on their meals, is still able to feed themselves organic, quality, high end nutritious meals without a thought given to cost?

Hmmmmm…..I’ll let you ponder and answer that question.

I am one who believes where there is a will, there is a way, of course there is. If you want to eat better, knowing that this better food will make you feel better, lift you up, improve your mood and generally keep body and soul together during even the toughest times – grow, raise and prepare your own food.

I have long said to anyone who will listen – do not under any circumstances eat the food (prepared rubbish) or drink the poison water. It is part of the problem and just might be the main way we are kept down .

'Cheap Food For Slaves'

These weeks and days post New Years are usually the time of new beginnings and change - well perhaps none need to be more understood and changed then the food we  are buying and eating. I have long wondered about the specific reasons behind all of this rubbish foods....

And then I watched Mutiny on the Bounty. One of the lines in the opening credits tells about the history of the ship and why she was traveling to the South Seas. The actual words used were to find 'cheap food for slaves' - and it almost knocked me down.

This is exactly the same situation we are dealing with at the moment!! We are expected to go out into the world and follow someone else's dreams (or work as slaves) while being fed food that is little better then garbage.

The worst possible combination of ingredients which when combined are so toxic as to create new compounds inside the body. At the moment with this exposure to nearly everything from GMO monster foods, an obscene amount of additives, preservatives, fillers and colourants - we are being poisoned from the inside out!

Yet, they keep cranking it out (and I know because I studied at some of the places where this stuff is developed) and placing it on shelves. Then we go into their humungous stores and are actually led to believe we have choice...

There is NO choice. Anything processed, manufactured, denatured from the way it was intended to be eaten is no longer food. And what is far worse about this entire situation is that it does significant harm to our bodies (not to mention the mind and spirit).

Or in other words - cheap food for slaves....

It is long past the time to make the changes to the food you put into your body - start with choosing organic, unprocessed and take it from there. Use good, real food to lift you up and take back your dreams...
