Imagine a world without any consequences,  in which we can eat a limitless amount of food.  We can eat whatever!  Whenever!  We probably wouldn’t care about what is healthy, and simply just enjoy food for only it’s taste.  Well, one can only dream about this alternate reality; unfortunately that is not the case.  What we eat, and how much we eat can really affect our overall health.  Now let me throw down that imaginary veil, and let you in on the real world we live in;  we live in a world full of processed food, making it so hard to start any kind of New Years Resolution, and actually sticking to a balanced, healthy lifestyle.  Food in America is pushed on us constantly, always swaying us towards the extra large spectrum of choices, and with that comes major consequences.

     To add even more fuel to this fiery confusion of processed food mania taking front, and center stage in every state, and supermarket;  Food companies have changed the basic chemistry of food making them extremely addictive.  Processed foods literally spikes your blood sugar levels so high, hijacking the balanced chemistry in our brain; We begin to want to consume it compulsively, because of how quickly it excites out brain.  We basically become wired to where we can’t just eat moderately;  all of these processed foods have been expertly engineered to keep us addicted, causing us to overeat, fueling a global epidemic of extreme obesity and chronic disease.  We always hear from our primary physicians to steer clear of sugar, and try to be mindful;  what about polyunsaturated fats,  that contain high amounts of omega 6s; can this be the real culprit of these spewing health problems increasing the past few decades.
