Denial ain't just a river in Egypt

As a parent or a person, one of the last things that you want to hear is that the food you are eating and feeding your family is diminishing your health and theirs, and may even cause lasting effects throughout our lives. A lot of us even come to the point of being complacent and not wanting to change our eating habits.  I've heard everything from "It's to hard" to "It's all complete rubbish." I guess that's part of why I started this blog.  Far too many people I know don't know or care about why proper nutrition is important, or are in complete denial. Nor do they know or see that since things changed so drastically in our countries food production the rates of chronic illnesses, behavioral issues and food allergy's has skyrocketed.

As a mom researching and finding out that what we were eating on a regular basis was full of harmful chemicals and dyes was just heartbreaking. I wanted to fight saying that all of this was ridiculous and not true.  When you are faced with the facts and you start implementing those necessary changes, and you start seeing the truth in those before thought ludicrous statements your heart stops. Your world as you know it seems blurred and unsure.  What is truth, and what isn't?  So we start small and make changes as we can.  Please don't be fooled when people tell you that GMOs and MSG and all of those hard to pronounce chemicals aren't bad for you.  Take the time to see for yourself.  Stop eating them, and then see if you feel a difference.  That is how we started, and we will never go back.  

We used to be told that smoking cigarettes was of no hazard and even doctors smoked them.  Why and how is that any different from what we are being told about our food? Monsanto is big in the food world right now, and not for their concerns of being ethical.  The more that I read and see of this company the more I don't want anything to do with them.

In a lot of ways eating healthy is hard! It's never "easy", in fact sometimes it downright sucks and can be depressing.  There has been many nights of frustration and complete breakdowns since my family and I started our nutrition makeover, but since we made those changes I have also never felt better!  In life you can never have one extreme or emotion without the other.  Would we understand what true happiness was unless we knew or experienced true sadness?  That is the same with food, you tend to not know how much you feel like crap eating something until you start cutting things out of your diet and eating healthier.

Don't allow yourself to be in denial any longer.
