What an incredible time to be alive. There’s a lot of not-so-incredible stuff going on, too, but thanks to technology we’re making leaps in agriculture, medicine, communication, and, well, you name it. The world is our drumstick!
In fact, modern technology is so amazing that we can use it to live better lives at home every day! We’ve figured out how to harness electric energy from the sun, water, and wind.
But with all that tech, we’ve lost touch with how to make good, clean energy in our own bodies?
Processed foods have taken over
Americans are the least healthy we’ve ever been.
In fact, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research, the average American’s diet is made up of highly-processed foods. Resulting in fewer essential nutrients—including protein, fiber, vitamins, and calcium (or as we like to call, it “the good stuff”)—and overloading on sugars, saturated fats, and carbohydrates.
It’s not hard to see how processed foods have taken over. They’re a quick fix: faster to prepare, often last longer in the cupboard, and are easy on-the-go.
Companies that sell highly-processed foods work with scientists to perfect their ratios of salt, fat, and sugar, cooking up highly addictive “foods” that are purpose-built to trick your tastebuds (and your brain) into continuously eating food that isn’t actually satisfying for your body.
Eat good food - clean and simple
To super-charge your energy, balance your body, and feel better overall, we need to be eating whole foods, minimally processed grains, lots of veggies, and some responsibly raised turkey here and there (just saying...). It's not just an answer, but the answer.
Eating better = feeling better. Now there’s some math you don’t need a lab coat to understand.
This is why we raise our animals with no antibiotics, animal by-products, or chemicals. Contains: turkey. Because what you see should be exactly what you get.
The transition back to cleaner eating might not be so easy for Americans. For some of us, it comes down to understanding what we really value. For others, it might be a little more difficult: We need to make clean food more affordable and accessible.
