Lose Weight Eating Tacos, Ask Me How!

Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. –Aristotle

 This blog has nothing to do with losing weight while eating tacos but I find that people stumble upon my blog from various Google searches so I thought if I wanted to get information out to a lot of people at once than I should probably give it a title that people would potentially search for. And come on, who hasn't searched for a way to lose weight while eating tacos? What this blog is really about is nutritional empowerment.

All this Mansanto talk has inspired me. I shared a link on Facebook that my friend Amy posted (Holla Amy) about an article  concerning Mansanto and Whole Foods working together. After a 12-year battle it looks like our heroes have caved to the evil empire and have agreed to grow genetically engineered alfalfa. A scary prospect for certain considering the nutritional value of corn and wheat are now under scrutiny. What will be left for us to eat?

Parents of young children are concerned about whom to trust and what do we do now?  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/ronnie-cummins/the-organic-elite-surrend_b_815346.html

Trust the same people you could rely on 100 percent before you found out this information…yourselves.

I don’t look at this article as being frightening even though it is telling us potentially frightening news. I choose to look at it as an opportunity for some positive change to happen.

It is like when you have to clean out your attic and you go up and it actually doesn’t look that bad and then you turn the light on and there is mouse poop everywhere. Oh no! I should have kept the light off, and then I never would have known!  So we get this information but all that has changed from yesterday is now we know.

All of these problems our kids have from peanut allergies to ADHD and obesity are all because their little bodies can’t handle the synthetic food we have been feeding them unbeknownst to us for years. Our own magnificent systems battle enemies foreign and domestic.

So you think you are buying healthy food for your family and really is has been genetically engineered so it isn’t real. We are literally tricking our bodies by giving it what we think is a healthy choice but really it’s a synthetic so the body goes into defense mode.

This has been happening for a long time now. The only thing that is different is that now we know. Nothing has changed except the light bulb was turned on. Were you afraid of this 5 years ago when you didn’t know about it? Nope, but it was still happening. The only difference is now we can do something about it! Yay! Not scary but opportunity.

We have ALL gotten so used to things being easy or at least easier when it comes to food. Nuke that easy Mac, viola! Dinner is served. Maybe I’ll make a salad…Naa, to much chopping.

So sorry all you Mom’s of little kids, the light bulb was out at my house when my kid’s were little. I had four kids and a busy life and I thought it would have been silly not to take advantage of how easy it is to make dinner in 5 minutes flat. Now that it has been turned on, we can’t go back to the dark days. So things will take more time and effort. Parents will have to make things from scratch and know the ingredients. No easy way out anymore.  It is not going to be easy getting home from work and thinking up what can I make for a quick dinner? It will take becoming really organized and planning meals. It will take time and effort. You may want to start a garden even a little one in your kitchen where you plant your own organic seeds. Then you know exactly what you are getting! www.heirloomsolutions.com 

Sounds exhausting? At the very least daunting? I know but taking control and accepting the accountability and responsibility of what we feed our babies and ourselves will empower you. Empowered people are not afraid. It will be worth the effort, I promise. Nothing worthwhile comes easy if you are doing it right.

I am envisioning this beautiful picture of whole families becoming closer and happier together all from just changing how we eat. It took an hour to prepare the dinner but we did it together and now we are sitting down and eating whole food that makes us balanced and happy. And don’t worry about the 4 hours of homework because now that you are eating the real food, your kids won’t have the learning difficulties they had been struggling with then everyone's anxiety level goes down. You will have a calmer, happier more meaningful life. Ahhh, insert deep breath here.

Thank you Mansanto, with out you a lot of us would have never have known just how good and beneficial whole food really is. It is not until we are sick do we appreciate our health. Get more information on what you can do at http://thenaturelyceum.org
