Can Food Cause Disease?

Much of our money is spent eating out. Our good is processed, refined, concentrated,sugared,salted and chemically engineered to produce high calorie, low nutrient taste sensations. Our cattle are fattened in feedlots without exercise and with antibiotics and growth enhancers. The result: bigger cattle producing juicer steaks containing nearly twice the fat as range-fed cattle. And we are paying dearly for these advancements. While we eat to live, what we eat is killing us.

The statistics are pretty convincing. One hundred years ago, a small percentage of our people died from coronary hear disease and strokes. Today it's triple or maybe quadruple that figure. That's also true with those who died of cancer.

This isn't nature's way. We weren't meant to die in such numbers of hear attacks, strokes, diabetes, and colon and breast cancer. Significant cardiovascular disease began to emerge sometime ago. Soon it became really rampant as people could afford diets rich in animal products, and when the food industry began producing highly processed foods crammed with calories and emptied of nutrition.
