I watched this on netflix instant play…
I believe we need to make our own choices about food. I also believe that if you are unaware of your choices its hard to make the right ones. The way soda, sugar cereals and fast food are presented to the public, would make one assume that it was in fact food. The way “fake food” is presented to children is really a disservice to our human race. Commercials and advertisements want children, and everyone for that matter, to believe soda will make them happy and sugar packed, artificially colored cereal will give them great energy.
One step we can take is educating ourselves about food. We can watch documentaries like this and read about food. We can go to a farmers market and simply admire all of the beautiful produce. Then we can take our knowledge and feed ourselves as we see fit. I love having the freedom to choose what I eat and having the understanding of why I chose those foods.

Great post Margaret. It is almost evil how ‘food’ companies put profit over health and try to make the most addictive substances possible. I’ve just finished the book ‘Mindless Eating’. There are actually studies done which show how to get customers to eat more. Eating food (with fresh ingredients) you have prepared yourself is the answer.
