“Food Matters” – a documentary film I’d yet to
see that deals with the issue around nutrition, health and the medical industry’s
inability to focus on the idea of prevention as opposed to reaction in its
approach to personal health. Definitely
made me want to reconsider many of the food choices in my life. While they have improved dramatically since
the days of two pounds of deep fried Teddy Style Hot Chicken wings nightly at my local pub
back home in Ontario, I still am a sucker for a flavor disc from Dominoes or a
bag of salt and vinegar chips…or a Starbucks donation treat that lies like some
kind of sacrifice on a platter three feet from the edge of my desk. So unhealthy that mess is…
Food Matters made me realize that the human
body has the potential and the tools to cure itself – if given he right
nutrients and that many of the diseases that Western societies suffer from are
for the most part, primarily a result of the deficit of nutrition found in the
food we regularly consume.
For me I need to stop junky pleasure food, cut
down on processed foods, and get back into shopping locally, and ensuring that
at the very least 50% of my daily sustenance is based on raw veggies of all
kinds. And to start the day with a huge
glass of water – just to start the body going.
And in my community, I am always talking about
the merits of eating well – but now I need to serve as that example by doing it
and modeling rather than simply talking about it. Time to show to play as opposed to being a
bench warmer backseat coach…
