Cause Y'all Ain't Hearing What We're Trying To Say
Hi Dp,Thanks for linking to my post on HFCS. It's really something isn't it? Not only the health dangers, but also how interesting it is that the producers of it can come up with reasons for "why it's healthy"!You and your family are an inspiration by getting off of the processed food, I think that is wonderful. I hope that you can inspire others to do the same. You are spot on with your call to "not only look at what we eat, but also how it is produced". All the best,JoLynn
JoLynn, Thanks for your kind words, the comment and pageview, and also for your informative blog. I think it's only a matter of time before the food supply becomes a much bigger issue in the eyes of the American public than it is right now. The effectiveness of industry marketing is amazing though; regardless of how bad something is proven to be for you, most people still blindly accept the industry's word on its benefits. I hope we can help change that.
DP, I surely hope so. I think that blogs are a powerful medium for "getting the word out", also. You're spot on re: the marketing and how those items are "blindly" purchased. That's where we all need to be conscious of what we are buying and eating...read those labels! ;)Keep on spreading the word!All the best,JoLynn
So many of us were raised on Koolaide , hence we tend to follow the paths laid before us. But our parents didn't know better. We do, and as the saying goes, when you know better, you do better. Kudos!
Well said Alexis. You'd be surprised at how many people I know disregard the benefits of finding and consuming better foods for them and their families even after they've been informed. We definitely know better now and there's no excuse not to do better. Thanks for stopping by.
