I just finished watching "The Weight of the Nation" and am feeling quite inspired. This country has a problem with food. A BIG problem. HBO is currently airing a film titled, "The Weight of the Nation". Experts from the Center for Disease Control, hospitals, public and private industry and grassroots advocates discuss the problem that this country has with food. But before you think that it is another documentary that only makes you feel sorry about the problem, they talk about SOLUTIONS!
One of the quotes they shared on the film was that 2% of the agriculture produced in this country is fruits and vegetables. The other 98% is corn, soy, wheat, etc. Corn and soy are subsidized by the federal government. Fruits and vegetables are not. I cannot encourage you all to watch this film enough. It is eye-opening! Check out the website for more information: www.hbo.com/theweightofthenation.
Support your local farmers. Buy locally when you can. Each of us can make a difference in the movement towards preventing obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc. The current farming system does not produce enough fruits and vegetables for Americans. However, if we demand it, they will grow it!!!
If you live in the Jacksonville area, message me for more information on local farms and local food delivery.
Be a part of this movement!
Coming up soon... Healthy Eating and Cooking for One! Recipes, tips, etc. Stay tuned!
