We are the number one nation in the world but being the nation that has the most obese people is not something to be proud of. It is not the people who’s obese fault in it entity. Let’s talk about the people who grow food. They add chemicals and additives in all preprocessed food.
Also don’t forget the large amount of salt, sugar and fat that is also added to all canned, frozen, and packaged food. It is, of course, easier to open a can or pop a frozen dinner in the microwave when we live our busy lives. We do not consider what is in the food we are consuming.
But something has to be done. We Americans can’t keep eating this food just because it is convenient. The health problems in this country, of our children, all the way up to the senior citizens are pulling out the seams.
Something needs to be done about the way our food is prepared for mass production. All this stems from the fact that a can will have a longer shelf life. Money.
Everything in this life come down to dollar and cents. The people of the number one country in this world are getting the short end of the dollar sign.
