Fooooood!

In my English 49 class we are talking about Americans nutrition & how most of the food that we eat is bad and harmful for us. I related this to what we are talking about in Personal Growth. It's interesting to me that once you become educated about the whole food organization that there's no turning back. You know what's good for you, & you know what's bad. But sometimes we as people still continue to make unhealthy food choices when we know its bad.
I just recently learned that mostly everything in your average grocery store like Albertsons and Food4Less
Is mostly processed food. Processed foods contain harmful ingredients & many things that do bad stuff to our bodies. For example, even when it comes to produce at these grocery stores they inject things in our fruit to make it ripen faster. You go to the store thinking you're being healthy by eating an apple but in reality that apple may not be good for you.
Even when it comes to the meat that they sell at stores. These companies do harmful things to animals like inject them with hormones to make them grow faster. The things that are harmful to the animals then become harmful to humans because we eat it.
Me personally, I feel that eating healthy is a work in progress. It's expensive but since everything around us basically bad for us we have no choice but to consume bad things every once in a while. I try to eat fruits & vegetables more often. But you never really know which foods to trust. I think that all Anericans should be aware if what they are REALLY eating.
