We need to get back to controlling our own food. Growing it. Picking it. Direct relationships with farmers. Visiting the farms our food comes from.
Our body is 100% molecularly made from food. We are now totally disconnected from how our food is grown and produced.
Therefore we are disconnected from ourselves.
The “convenience culture” is destroying us and is a fallacy. There is nothing more inconvenient that being sick, and our easiest way to stay health is real unprocessed food from good soil.
To quote former secretary Henry Kissinger, “Control the food and you control the nation.” Yet only 27% of family meals are homemade now. Our ultra-processed food system is a control mechanism under the guise of empowerment. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.
We thought convenience was empowering. But in reality, we handed control of our health over to corporations that profit off of our addiction and don’t give a shit about our health. Their incentives are profit first, not nutrition - and we entered the trap of preventable chronic disease.
As a capitalistic society, we decided cooking wasn’t worth our time — get everyone out of the home to work! Get the kids in school all day to be fed by others! What happened? Everyone is sick as hell. Homemade real-food meals are necessary for mental and metabolic health. We are being so shortsighted.
Only 30% of families eat together regularly (source: Harvard Graduate School of Education). Rates of obesity, diabetes, and depression have skyrocketed. We must reclaim time for thoughtful meal preparation as an investment in our families, our health, and our future prosperity.
