You are what you Eat.


How many times have we heard this phrase, and have simply filed it away for consideration at another date, and then tucked into our Big Mac and fires, or slice of pepperoni pizza. It all tastes so good but is loaded with trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, chemical preservatives, etc. but what is it doing to our health?
In a soon to be released film, nutritionist and leaders in natural healing investigate our current food and related health crisis and demonstrate that what what we eat really is affecting us. As one person mentions - "all that the terrorists have to do is open more fast food chain restaurants in the US and just wait for all of us to die".
We constantly consume genetically modified and "enriched" foods, foods that are treated with pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides and grown in toxic soils. We are told that for every ailment there is a drug that will sustain our "health", but "approximately 106 000 Americans die from pharmaceutical drugs a year, and these are people who took the medications as directed". (quote from, Foodmatters TV).
Good health makes a lot of sense, but NOT a lot of dollars!
