Cooking our way out of chronic disease epidemic

So you may ask yourself, how do we end our current chronic disease epidemic and health care, environmental, and financial crises?

We cook our way out.

And it’s typically not the salt, sugar, or other ingredients you add to your home cooked meals that pose a problem. It’s the salt, sugar, bad fats, and unpro­nounceable toxic ingredients that food companies add to their food that damage your health.

Be the person in the grocery store reading all of the labels and looking up the words you don't understand. And if you don't understand, The FDA recently posted about how to read nutritional labels here.

We also found this cool app, https://www.ewg.org/foodscores/

"EWG Healthy Living" app where they score foods from 1-10 on 3 concerns: nutrition concerns, ingredient concerns, and processing concerns. The screenshot below shows the webpage listing over 8,000 products and their rating on them.

Cooking is your way out of sickness and your path to freedom. Choosing to educate yourself on how food can be healing and how processed food can be damaging is the first step to helping end this chronic disease epidemic.
