WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY?
Have you taken time to research the products in your refrigerator, freezer, cabinets, and pantries? For those who answered No, neither have I. Change starts from within, and from this day forward, I will pursue change by sacrificing my old diet for a new one. This means I'm going to be transformed by the renewing of my mind(Romans 12:2). You may have heard the sayin "you are what you eat". So the question is what did you eat today? Did you have a steak, fruit, maybe a salad, or possibly a bowl of Special K. I'm not a scientist, nor do I work for the USDA. I would like to help you you renew your mind today. So take a minute to read some information about GM (genetically modified) foods, by clicking on to this link and (RENEW) your mind.www.truefoodnow.org. Then take ten minutes to watch this.

Listening to the video, I wonder what was the demographics. I remember the times when my children were young how I would shop at the local grocery store down the street and discovered that my meats would spoil fast, my milk would spoil fast, and my bread would mold fast. One day after needing to stop after work to pick up a few things from the grocery store before I got home, and the store seemed so much cleaner and the meat department didn't smell like mines did. I purchased the same items I would normally and my bill was much cheaper and that drew me back to that particular store.
ReplyDeleteAfter a couple of times, I began to see the difference in how long my food would last, and continued to do all of my grocery shopping in that particular store in that particular neighborhood that was predominantly white.
I later learned from a friend that it was demographics and there are the same ratings for grocerery stores as food restaurants. Demographically, areas with "A" stores get first choice to stock. Than the next areas would be a "B" store, etc. When I heard that, it was no longer a wonder that the store in my old neighborhood was a "D" store.
Recently, I watched a documentary on CNN about how the amount of food stamps people live off of may not be enough in this recession. Not only were they not enough, but the women complained about unhealthy food at their corner store. Most women on foodstamps have children and they have to eat unhealthy food. One woman had to even catch the bus to a nearby store just to bring home unhealthy produce when she was told by her doctor to eat healthy.
I was blessed to be able to go into a better neighborhood for my children. If there is any change in the system, it will need to start with the neighborhood corner markets that are there for convienience, but a faster way to dump all the unhealthy produce and meats into the poor comummities.
One last incident was when another grocery chain in Atlanta GA had to remove from its shelves, food they had been selling with expired shelf dates that was almost a year expired. Another way to dump.
We need to be more vigilent when it comes to what's best for our children and more wise what goes on our tables that can cause harm to the body. In God we trust, all others you need to check at the door.
