One of the problems with the industrialised food systems is that it’s a system purely designed on finding the cheapest possible so they can keep the consumer happy and maximise profits.
Take this fine example
You would think British carrots to feed the British would come from the UK same as you think food grown in Australia would feed Australia as we have more than enough.
But no the way the system is and the way subsidies run its generally cheaper to import, then eradiate and spray the food with all sorts of concoctions, sometimes even if food is grown in a country it’s shipped overseas to be processed then shipped back.
The only reason this is cheaper is because the true long term costs are not built in.
Factored in is never the consumers health, the soil and waterways regeneration, protection of native land, fauna and flora.
Most “fresh” food you buy in the supermarket is actually bought unripe then sprayed with chemicals to ripen them.
Our bodies have become toxic soups and although they do a bloody good job at detoxing they are at their capacity.
In my belief the industrial food system is criminal, people are trying to just do their best to provide for those they love and are being constantly conned and manipulated.
The good news is you can break free of this system and it’s actually really easy.
When I was unwell my @chekinstitute Practitioner put in my program to go to the Organic Farmers market.
He set me up for success saying it’s going to be more expensive but when you eat nutrient dense food you eat 30% less.
I started meeting people who lived in a totally different world, they were vibrant and full of energy and joy, I talked to the stall holder many of them farmers passionate about what they grew and the way I related to food changed.
I drastically cut down on my drinking so I could afford it and have never looked back.
Now I go for best quality I can find and don’t even ask about price because I have witnessed the transformation in myself that every dollar I spend on my health makes me more money in my business as I am more switched on and vibrant.
Let food be thy medicine and trust me your life will change.
PS can you imagine the deal they got on these carrots
