We are overindulging in food that’s too fat, salty, spicy, sugary, and caffeinated, and we do so to the extreme that our body struggles to cope with the overload.

Food, food and food

Simon Hazelman, Savusavu

If there is one particular thing that governs our whole being that we worship above all other things, it is food. It has become a god to us as we have developed into emotional eaters.

Our very physical characteristics in this time and age not only reveal that fact, but they show just how unhealthy we have become as a people.

We are overindulging in food that’s too fat, salty, spicy, sugary, and caffeinated, and we do so to the extreme that our body struggles to cope with the overload.

Despite this, each day we choose to torture our bodies with the same craving habit until sickness eventually sets in.

Unprocessed food was given to us to fuel our bodies.

It is our choices of the quality, quantity, preparation and combination of these food types that can either lead to our health and happiness or sickness and demise.

We need to start making the right choices for either life or death.

Sitting on the fence is a dangerous position to be in due to our inclination to choose more the unhealthy rather than the healthy!

We need to stop living to eat and start eating to live!
