Foodie Friday

I love ALL food!

well, except for mayonnaise and miracle whip; I really dislike those.

I may not eat all foods but I still love 'em.  Some food I choose not to eat try to be more conscientious and some foods I just can't physically process and break down in my system with out getting sick.

Our world has had some amazing developments in the food industry but with that came a high price.

...Processed foods... WHY?!?!?! Why do we produce you!?! They're so irresistibly delicious!

Oreos... Cheez-It's (or better cheddars) ...Cinnamon Toast Crunch (which I have a box of sitting right in front of me that I am trying my best to avoid eating because I already ate grapes for my dessert but it just sounds SOOO good! LOL)... Snickers... Sweet Tarts... Combo Bites... Nutter Butters... Scooby Doo Graham Cookies... Crackers... Potato Chips... Tortillas... Chocolate Candy Bars... Bagels... Fruit Flavored Sugar Candies... Cake... Brownies... Pastas... Fast Foods...

The list is endless!

STOP EATING CHEMICALLY PROCESSED FOODS!!!

Let's be real; this is a "Do as I say, not as I do" situation.

It's so hard not to eat these foods when they're around or when you're craving something 

sweet or salty.

Do you best to avoid buying these foods and supplement them with healthy snacks!

Apples... Almonds (soaked =P or dry)... Avocados... Bananas... Blueberries... Carrots... Cashews... Cucumber... Kiwi... Bell Pepper... Walnuts... Raisins... Figs... Pistachios... 

You get it.

I'm not saying to eat all raw foods but at least please reduce the amount of chemically processed foods.

With the first group of snacks, I know for me even just typing their names makes me want to binge out. It is almost like an addiction to those foods. I want them even though I know I will not feel right after eating them.

With the second group of snacks, I am not compelled to want to go scarf my face with a box of raisins but I know those are foods that fuel my body, taste yummy, and make me feel GOOD.

My grandma always said "Eat to fill yourself, not to kill yourself"
