Hey, thanks for noticing @glenalbrethsen. It’s always a good time when blocktrades and ocd stop by.
Sure, eat well and body acts well but what is eating well? There is literally sugar added to every frikken thing. If there’s not sugar then there’s gmos or pesticides or fluoridated water, metallic molecules in your deodorant, the list is endless. I cook most of our meal from scratch but it’s quite times consuming and can be expensive. Not everyone has the luxury of time or the ability to buy a head of organic broccoli over a happy meal. I’m just sayin when a bottle of water cost double what a bottle of coke costs then we have a problem.
By the way I saw your post… way to pull it all together Glen. Salisbury steak is a childhood memory for me too. P
Oh, I get it. Sugar is everywhere, but eventually a lot of things we eat, carbs, fruits, break down into sugars. So, if you're essentially talking refined sugar, it's definitely hard to get away from, but definitely not the only thing to be concerned with.
So, as far as prices go, are you saying it's not an issue of supply and demand? I would imagine there's many times more people reaching for the happy meal rather than the broccoli, simply out of convenience and taste—and, unfortunately, fast food prices aren't what they used to be either. Can't hardly eat much for under $10 anymore.
But I get what you're saying. Healthy food should be cheaper and easier to acquire, whatever 'healthy' ends up being defined as.
I think healthy food also costs more to get to your table than say a mass produced burger from from McDonald’s. I think it’s a shame that not everybody has the ability to eat processed free.
Yes sugar is in everything and carbs plus fruits break down into sugar indeed. The fruits are at least natural sugars but flours and such are pretty processed. I went on a Veggies and fish diet for 6 months and saw so much improvement in various areas but it just wasn’t sustainable for me. The carbs are an important part of energy fuel and it feels good to be back with them. Now if I can only stay away from those vegan Oreos. Dang it. Did you know Oreos are vegan? 😋. I didn’t until several months ago and now we always have them in the fridge. It’s been our kryptonite 🤦🏼♀️
