I just posted this over on Facebook but I figured it should get posted here too.
I can’t believe, well actually I can, that people are saying that a garden at the White House is snobby. Gardens are the #1 way to self reliance. And we need all the self reliance we can get.
I don’t care about your political affiliation. I really could care less. Just feed yourself. If that means getting your food from a farmer, then do it. If that means grow your own, then do it.
But doesn’t all food originally come from a farmer? Yes, but so many foods are processed crap these days. Your body isn’t designed to process the “process”…..so what does your body do with this processed foods? It stores it as fat.
Enter our obesity problem in America. That’s one of the things I feel the White House is trying to address here. We have the capability as a country to feed ourselves with real food but our “NO FEAR” mentality is going to get in the way because “Real Food” has become snobby? Hmmmmm where’s the common sense here? Oh that’s right it got run over by MARKETING. Mmmmmm yes I know that marketing is how the word is put out there, but it is what it is. We’re creatures very susceptible to the power of suggestion.
Now I know we all live fast paced lives. I wouldn’t expect our country to change it’s habits over night. But start small. Eat a salad. If that scares you by itself because it’s not “NO FEAR” enough for you then stick steak on top of it. Stop. Take a breath. Now think clearly about what you eat. Then think about it for 1 day. Then comment on this note……..
Oh, I can go on for days.
Please investigate what real food is and can be. Stop eating high fructose cardboard for food. And please give the folks at the White House a chance. Even if you don’t like the Obamas realize they’re just growing some vegetables. I mean seriously: It’s food. The root of life. Hello? Are you reading this and comprehending this? It’s nourishment for your body. If that’s not hardcore I don’t know what is…….
That’s my rant for today. Thanks.
