Taste Overrides common sense
I am not on my own here, it seems that taste over rides any evidence (i.e. ingredients) which suggest foods are bad for us. It seems like our taste buds have got the better of us. Do we even care what the ingredients say when the taste is so darn good? It does not seem to matter about common sense when it looks pretty and tastes crazily good.
Even more so, people are not prepared to look at the evidence which suggests denial and a sense of being completely switched off. Or dumbed down. People cant see the wood for the trees or the potatoes for the MSG/Highlt processed oil which covers the truth. I mean, would you actually just eat a potato raw? Ouch not sure if I would! If it is cooked on dosed with numerous chemicals that makes it fine, I mean come on everybody else is eating it so why should the average minion change their habits?
Well its personal choice, but rather than being morphed into the consumer that the supermarket WANTS you to be (whatever is on offer this week) I choose something else. I choose to be free from ingesting this crap 99% of the time, however I do have the odd pre-programmed memory and emotional impulse every now and then.
It is so easy because this food is tasty, accessible, and cheap - what more could a consumer ask for? What about the concept that a lifetime of choosing these processed foods makes you see and know no different than what you have read. It is like reading the newspaper and not doing any further research. Dont believe everything you read, or see or taste! If it looks good and tastes good is it actually good for you? What is the evidence? Should I just eat lettuce? Nope - because we are talking about becoming aware and conscious about our choices that is all. Eat all the KFC you want just be sure to do your research about the stuff first then make the choice. After you have raised your awareness to the ingredients let your CONSCIENCE decide what is right for you to eat.
We have no idea when it comes to food, no one answer is right for any one person, but we can be conscious and aware of our choices. We can research. We can be objective. You dont have to keep making the same choice if it is making you fat. At some point you have to stop placing the blame on the MSG and wean off of it. Break free and choose something else.
The supermarkets may sell it, and ten out of ten for presentation, but health now that is the issue. Looks great tastes great makes you fat - that is an issue. Take some responsibility for the food you purchase with your own money. Cheap and cheerful does not necessarily mean healthy. We all know that so we need to change the habits to more healthful ones and deal with the issues behind the unhealthy choices.
Given the choice - what is that exactly? I mean do we actually have a choice or does society morph you into that choice based on what they think is healthy - 5 a day - I eat 5 a day bananas for breakfast!
If your fat dont complain to me, it is probably your colon complaining and bloating after the crap you ingested the past 6 months is still in there. So do yourself a favour and transition those unhelpful food choices to happy healthy ones. Bit by bit the new choices you implement will help you to detox, unplug and re hydrate your body.
