Food Inc

We just watched an interesting documentary call Food Inc. This one is definitely worth a watch. It focuses on the food industry and the large multinational corporations that are basically dictating what can be grown and cheap food sources that are ultimately destroying America's health. You need only to look at one major ingredient in most of America's food products to understand why America is too fat and health care is a crisis in America. Eliminate all foods from your diet that contain high fructose corn syrup and your weight will come off and farmers will no longer be subsidized to only growing corn and maybe a wider variety more natural foods can be produced closer to you home. Everyone will be healthier and health care costs will come down.

There are many things all people can do to lead a healthier life.

Plant a garden
Eat vegetables that are in season - much better for the planet, they are cheaper, they taste better and they probably aren't gassed and dyed.
Don't eat foods that contain MSG or High fructose corn syrup or any of their cleverly named equivalents- eliminate the need for corn subsidies (reduce government spending)
Eat locally produced food whenever possible - support local farmers and increase the quality of your food
Eat meatless meals several times per week
Don't eat ground beef unless you grind it yourself or buy organic - Ground meat from large commercial processing plants could come from a thousand different cows increasing the risk of e-coli or salmonella poisoning
