Do You Eat "Good?"

When engaged in conversation with people about food, I oftentimes hear the statement, "I eat good." What does that mean? They eat enough portions sufficient to feed five people? That statement may be laughable; however, each of us have our own ideas of what eating "good" entails.

For example, just because you consume products with "less sodium" doesn't mean you're eating "good." The myth that low-fat items are good for you, can be a detriment to your health. Every cell in your body is surrounded by fat. Therefore, low-fat is not the goal but "what-fat." How much and what types of fat are you consuming? If they are animal fats, how were the animals raised? How much animal meats do you eat on a weekly basis? Do you consume fresh organic fruits and vegetables on a regular basis? How do you feel physically and emotionally overall on a daily basis? Do you have plenty of energy to tackle your daily tasks? These are just some questions we can ask ourselves to determine if we are eating "good." (This post is not intended to give all the answers, but to stimulate our thinking about our food choices).

The other day, my family and I were watching a documentary called Food Inc. I recommend all 6.6 billion people on the planet to watch this film. The information just may change the way you look at food...it just may change your food habits...it may change the world!

Be Blessed,
