American Food....or should I say American business...

Hi Friends,
I watched the documentary Food Inc. over the weekend.  I think everyone (did I say everyone?) should watch this!  This is a documentary about how food in America is a business and is controlled by 4 major companies.  Do you think they care about our wellness?  Here's a hint....next time you are out in public, take a look at how many obese individuals you notice (those poor souls).  That will give you the answer to how the FDA and USDA care about our wellness.  You can order this movie on Amazon.com or borrow it from me (I will add you to my list of borrowers).

One major thing I must make clear,  if you are a meat eater....I know I told  you to look for steroid free meat.  You need to also make sure your meat is grass-fed, NOT corn-fed!  It is unreal what corn does to the animals that eat, as their systems are not made to digest corn.....say hello to E.Coli!  Oh please, please watch Food Inc., you will understand me even more!

As I have said before, I URGE you to be a label reader.  You and your children have the right to know exactly what is going into your body! If not for yourself, do if for me.  Read those labels, it will just make me feel better!

I have so much more to share, but do not want to overwhelm you, so I will save them for future posts.

My lunch today:
A sandwich made of:
*2 slices whole wheat bread
*1/2 avocado, sliced
*2 big slices tomato
*alfalfa sprouts
*eggless mayo spread
*sunflower seeds (if you them!)
*salt and pepper
Toast the bread, add the spread and sliced ingredients, add your sprouts and seeds.  Enjoy!
My mom started making me this sandwich when I was 14 years old.  I have always loved it and hope you will give it a try!

Mucho gusto!
