Cheap food = Poor Health?

The market in western cultures has valued lower cost food for some time now, my questions are: do we get far less nutrition value for our money? is cheaper food really saving us money in the long run? and is mass manufactured food really food at all? In this clip while promoting the new movie “Food Inc” Robert Kenner warns that cheaper food is costing you more by taking your health.

  1. You have a great writing style.I found out about your blog from Yahoo and enjoyed it tremendously. Have you been writing this blog for a while?Just the other day I recently developed a blog myself and its been a really fun process. I’ve met some new friends since then although it is frustrating at times! Once again, many thanks for your post!

    informative post, raises valid points

  3. If you’re interested in eating more organic foods, one of the things that you may have trouble getting past is the price tag. After all, organics tend to be a lot more expensive than chemically treated products. The best solution to that, especially if you have the space, is to grow your own organic vegetable garden.

    Food suppliers like every other business are there to make money. If the product keeps us growing healthy as intended, that would be fine, but unfortunately that has now just become incidental. So long as our liver is able to process some level of chemical overload we’ll survive at the price of the refinements our liver would otherwise be capable of. Ailments, as a result of chemical overload in the food chain can be wide ranging and anything from being just a noticeable condition to a life shortening dilemma. ‘Drilling down’ on this aspect of our health can be somewhat frightening, as much as it can also put us in the driver’s seat on the health and longevity highway. So, what if our primary care givers income is spoilt by our absence from their clinics. Sure, they know what’s going on but no one is listening. They are overworked anyway, if that makes sense.
