Put Down That Knife and Read the Label

Let me start by saying that I am in no way an expert on nutrition or dieting. My upbringing consisted of eating decomposing animals (yes, that's what eating meat is all about), beans and some type of rice. If the rice wasn't white, you best believe it had some type of artificial coloring in it. Azafran much? On a more serious note, have you ever taken the time to read the ingredient label of what you buy? We often times invest more time on reading the labels of the clothes and shoes we buy than we do on what we eat. The foods we ingest have long-term effects on our bodies and brains. 

Real talk. We live in a society of quick fixes, of instant gratifications and countless choices when it comes to drive thrus. Yes, we are programmed to like conveniences. So, coming from a long family history of cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and even mental illness, I've had to educate myself on what and how I eat. In addition to my own curiosity, a friend of mine has opened my eyes to the issue of overall health and well-being. 

I'd like to introduce this blog with a book I think everyone should read. It was an introduction for me to pay more attention to what I eat. In essence, it is about how damaging meat, dairy and coffee are to our health.
