Several staples in these processed foods—particularly corn and soy—have been genetically modified to increase production and meet the demand. As a result of this process, these foods may contain harmful chemicals and organisms that are not good for your body.
I just read an article about how some food companies create specific combinations of tastes that they put into their products so we will eat more of them and still not feel satisfied. They call it “The Bliss Effect.”
Here are 3 links to important articles to help you become more aware of the foods that you are eating. My very 1st post on this blog is about no-gmo. Please scroll down to have a read! Every body is different. Find the kind of fuel that your body needs to have optimum health and energy. Be good to your body. Learn about the basics of good nutrition.
Let’s affirm: I love myself; therefore, I choose to be aware of what I eat and how it makes me feel.

My family and I currently live in Ramona just outside of San Diego. It has a farming community and we are fortunate to buy a lot of our produce from a local organic farm a couple miles away. Our honey is also local! I understand for most people this is not possible. Please check my Build It page on this blog for some inspiration on edible gardens. Also, fortunately a lot of grocery stores have a wonderful organic and locally grown section. Start there and branch out. Learn to read the SCU# on your produce. It's best to be informed. As a consumer your power is where your dollar goes. Every time you shop you are voting, so be conscientious. I found an app. on my phone called Buycott, and I can scan the product with my phone and know its origin. It's amazing and free!
You don't have to go radical. Just start leaning into the direction you want to go and build from there. A lifestyle change takes time, as it is a journey into yourself.
