Description
Healthy eating is essential to your health and well being. In your great grandparents? days, healthy eating was easy. Food was grown on nutrient rich soil without herbicides and pesticides. It was whole, natural and unprocessed. Meals, breads and desserts were cooked or baked in the home from scratch, not produced in a laboratory from chemicals not intended for human consumption. Times have changed! It?s true. With our fast-paced lifestyles, we don?t have time to devote hours or entire days to preparing healthy meals to nourish our families and ourselves. But are we really doing ourselves a favor by eating highly processed food, laden with sugar, in many forms, and filled with chemicals we can?t pronounce, much less know want they are and what they are doing to our insides? I grew up on a better-than-average Standard American Diet (SAD). My dad had a large vegetable garden. We had many different fruits growing on trees, bushes and vines in our yard. My mother cooked from scratch. We didn?t have chips, candy and sodas, except on holidays and special occasions. But we did eat white bread, canned vegetables, pasteurized and homogenized dairy products, including processed cheese and ice cream, boxed cereals with sugar added, and desserts and pastries made from white sugar and white flour when my mother baked.
