CANS, BOXES, & OTHER CONTAINERS

Today...there is no trouble in finding the corner store that is packed with the cookies, the candy, the pop etc...but how many neighborhood stores are there that offer a healthy alternative for you and your family to eat? You might do better looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even in neighborhoods where you have weekly farmer's markets or co-ops people feel that healthier equals costlier so they opt for the $1 menu at the fast food establishments. Sadly, we can either pay now or pay later and the statistics are showing pay later is becoming earlier as the numbers are increasing in incidence of childhood hypertension and Type 2 diabetes...both which are totally preventable disease.
Processed People is a great documentary that addresses the need for change of what we eat in America.
What we eat has become a great mystery...you never are really sure what is the "secret" ingredient. Have you look lately at some of the labels on foods. I have...it is time for a change
