We are the Drug Users of Our Time

Addicted to “food-like” products from companies that the more they sell, the more money they make.
They have now become “Our Dealers” right within the grocery store.
You never hear a person hanging out in the office saying, “man, I could really drink a kale smoothie, right now!” like some yearn for a cola style beverage.
Why is this?
Could it be true that a certain companies are using chemical ingredients to create products that we “need”?
Using the term need loosely here, because many of these foods have nothing nutritionally beneficial for our bodies and often are referred to as “Empty Calories” only providing your body with minimal “added vitamins & mineral.”
 Do you really have to have it or are you actually CRAVING it?
We now have the scientific evidence to believe that some of these “ingredients” are actually causing chemical reactions within the brain much like many of illegal street drugs.
These ingredients are now included in most packaged foods.
Most of the commonly purchased chips, drinks, packaged foods that line your grocery store have more chemicals in them than cleaners found under your sink.
We have allowed this to take place right under our noses but it’s time for a CHANGE!
Our food is “spiked” with these toxic chemicals known to cause harmful health affects, as well as have chemical brain responses known to make us crave more.
Could these ingredients play apart in the fact that the leading causes of death in our country today are food related?
These products are actually making us all sick, overweight, tired and ADDICTED.
We have the right to choose and the choice has to be ours and ours alone.
This is our recovery.
This is our INTERVENTION.
STAY WELL, Friends!
