How many people have touched it?????

Your food that is!  We are eating soooooooo much processed food that doesn't look like it did in its natural state we don't know how many people have touched it :-/

I stand at the supermarket deli and wonder how many people touched the food to get it to look like that?  What did the kabana/meat look like in its natural state?  The same thoughts go through my mind when I look at frozen meals.....worth thinking about.

So much of our food and more so our snacks are processed and come in a packet.  A big part of my role with helping people on their weight loss journey is teaching them how to read food labels.  Trust me there are a lot of tricks the manufactures use to entice us to eat their product but that is another topic!!. 

Looking out our children we wonder why 20-25% of our children are obese....we are feeding them packaged and processed food!  We are always so busy and trying to fit so much in to our days that we often don't have time to prepare and cook meals.  We rely on take away and packaged meals to feed our families.  Now I am not saying everyone does this but it is a concern.....just look in the supermarket trolleys of other shoppers next time and I am sure you will be amazed.  With this frantic lifestyle we lead we are not passing cooking skills on to our children, this is not going to teach and enable our next generation to lead a healthy lifestyle.

I would dearly love people to not worry so much about products, carbs, calories and food labels but to focus more on the natural stuff....Food that has feed or grown from the ground. Foods without a food label eaten in its natural state.  Nature created food the way it is for a reason...for example eating fruit with the skin on is natures way of adding fibre to your diet and helping the body process the fructose (sugar) in the piece of fruit.  Not drinking a store bought 'healthy' juice that has been processed.  Yes it has still be processed because they have discarded all the important elements of the fruit and left you with the sugary juice.

When and where possible eat food in its natural state, your body will thank you.

I leave you with this thought......how many people have touched your food and how many steps of process has it taken to get it to look like it does now.....?
