Taking A Bite Out of . . . What Exactly Are We Biting?

     Do you know what is in the stuff you eat?  Me neither.  But don't you think we should?  Recently, in my Lifestyle Assessment class, we were shown a documentary called Food Inc.  The basis of the film was to show how large food companies have been monopolizing products and engineering them to be superficial and unhealthy, but cheap and quick to produce.  And isn't that what it's all about these days?  We live in a society where we want to buy things that don't empty our wallets, and yet don't waste any of our precious time (which we still don't think we have enough of).
     Do you know what's in your chicken nuggets?  Here is a quick and simple study done by the American Journal of Medicine:  http://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(13)00396-3/abstract
According to Dictionary.com, the word epithelium means "any animal tissue that covers a surface, or lines a 
cavity or the like, and that, in addition, performs any of various secretory, transporting, or regulatory functions" or simply the lining of something like the gut, or the intestines.  
     Tasty, right!  Not.  I, for one, will never eat processed chicken nuggets again.  Sorry, McDonald's!
     It's rather terrifying digging into what really goes on behind the making of our food.  Now, I am going to include the documentary in this post.  If you would please, just take an hour and a half out of your precious time and please watch this.  It has me really wanting to grow my own food, which I just might do.  No chemicals, no preservatives, just plain and simple, healthier food.

And now I present to you Food Inc:

P.S. I'm not encouraging you to believe everything in this video without doing some research of your own.  But, it does bring up some great points about our current health situation.
