A “food desert” is termed an area where fresh food isn’t accessible within 15 minutes of public transport, these areas are always areas full of poverty, and the only foods available are usually ultra processed foods (very low quality nutritionally) that literally over time make us sick).
It’s a prime reason why 1 in 3 kids are prone to at least one diet related disease buy the age of 11.
It’s a massive reason why so many people live with obesity and this condition directly leads to most of major diseases known to humans.
In a food desert, if we rely on ultra processed foods for the bulk of what we eat, then it’s no wonder we will get sick, it’s no wonder why we are very unlikely to feel well most of the time, and its definitely no wonder why we may have so many limitations to our lives if we do live with obesity on a long term basis, which is the by product of not eating MORE NUTRITIOUS FOOD for a long period of time, because ultra processed food is indeed “sweet and nice” AND ADDICTIVE because it makes us eat way more of it.
We are lucky mostly in our area we can still eat well if we choose, the supermarket maybe mostly full of rubbish, but we can still eat whole foods, we can still eat great energy and healing foods that will help us recuperate is from our daily exertions.
Massive fat food advertising campaigns are entrenched in our society, especially at this Christmas time of year, and encouraging us to get hooked on very sugary and chemical filled foods that are so often made in laboratories.
Celebrate you do not live in a food desert, love the fact you still have choices and you do not need to listen to “peer pressure” from your work colleagues or friends to make yourself sick, have the courage to be a dissenting voice, have the courage not to follow the crowd or fall for the heavy advertising, both haven’t got your health high on their lists that’s for sure.
Nothing wrong with a bit of what you fancy at times, but looking after yourself the RIGHT WAY has never been so important, and will literally CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
