It’s All About Real Food
Posted on October 26, 2010

What is real food and where can we get it? Are packaged products sitting on the grocery store shelves real foods? What about foods made from genetically modified farm produce, or animals fed feed made from genetically modified grains. Are they “real foods”? What about farm produce that has been sprayed with toxic chemicals including dangerous herbicides and pesticides? Are these real foods? It is my contention that they are not. And what difference does it make? I suppose we can’t answer such questions unless we create a definition for “real food”. To qualify as a “real food”, I am suggesting that a food must be alive with nutrition, free from harmful chemicals, additives, and genetically modified ingredients. It must be fresh. In these times, finding “real food” based on this definition, can be difficult or at least frustrating. I suggest that real food is qualitatively superior to packaged, damaged, modified, potentially toxic, stale or old food. This is the primary topic for this website. That we may all have a healthier and more vibrant life!
