Food in America

A couple of years ago I went to the doctor for an annual check up.

Before the doctor came into the room, his PA asked me a strange question. She said — “what medications are you on?”

I said “don’t you mean are you on any medications?”

She paused for a moment at how insane her question was if you really stop to think about it.

I told her none. She said “most of my patients are 3,4,5 and even as many as 10 different prescription medicines a month.”

Holy hell.

Seemingly everyone in the United States has issues with their health and their weight.

Everywhere you look there are not just fat people, there are deformed people.

Genuinely deformed.

American culture used to be a country of people with grit and fortitude. People grew food — and there was a culture of cooking by the masses.

Sunday’s at Grandma’s house was a real event four times a month for millions of families.

People bought and cooked real food.

Then in the 1970’s and 1980’s something changed. TV dinners were introduced and thus began a cycle began crap Swanson’s Salisbury steak and pharmaceuticals to combat the results.

Each step of the way became a profit center.

Major companies began to sell you bad food — and then sell you drugs to counter the results of the bad food. Money on the front side. Money on the backside.

This expanded to Big Agriculture, Big Food, and Big Pharma all in bed with Big Government and the ridiculous government food pyramid taught in schools throughout the nation.

I could write about it for days — or you could simply look at the photos I took of our grocery stores.

These photos were taken in three grocery stores:

A Publix, a Kroger, and a Walmart.

When you see it presented like this you instantly see how crazy it is that Americans eat this food and this way.

Everything is processed.

Everything is in a box.

Everything is full of garbage ingredients.
