Recently, I saw Food, Inc<\/a>, the documentary discusses the industrialization of our food industry, driving forces behind it, genetic engineering and so much more.\u00a0 Actually, I think they could have considered creating a documentary series out of this topic. The depth of information they detail, per topic, could not be touched upon with the time they had available.\u00a0 I also read “The Food Issue – An Open Letter to the Next Farmer in Chief”<\/a> written by Michael Pollan for the New York times in 2008.\u00a0 Mr. Pollan discusses much of the same topics from Food, Inc. with more focus on the production of our nations food and the impact it has had on us and the environment.\u00a0 These are about the quality of the food that we eat and how our nation is now consuming poor quality foods in our food markets and restaurants in larger quantities for less money, you get what you pay for folks.<\/p>\n At the same time I am reading “The end of overeating<\/a>” written by David Kessler, former commissioner to the FDA, currently professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco.\u00a0 In this book the habits of eating, the emotions behind them and how the food industry utilizes this information to manipulate the population to desire their products is discussed.\u00a0 In the midst of all of the above information a good friend posted this TED.com<\/a> talk with Robert Lustig, MD professor of Pediatrics, Division of Endocrinology also from the University of California, San Francisco titled “Sugar: The Bittle Truth<\/a>.” The first half of this lecture discusses how low-fat diets came to be and the shift to eating higher percentages of carbohydrates, particularly fructose.\u00a0 The second part of the lecture is the biochemistry of how our body processes sugars like fructose, glucose and ethanol; an extremely interesting topic for me.<\/p>\n These four topics have been absorbing a lot of my time in the last few weeks.\u00a0 I have multiple blogs in the process as I try to organize my thoughts while processing all this information at once. \u00a0 I hope to get them posted as soon as I can so I can share these things with all of you..\u00a0 I want to add that I am extremely thankful to my wonderful friends that have provided me with this information..\u00a0 Thank you, Thank You, Thank You..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My Perfect Storm Recently, I saw Food, Inc, the documentary discusses the industrialization of our food industry, driving forces behind it, genetic engineering and so much more.\u00a0 Actually, I think they could have considered…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[66,88,116,159,178,214,237,243],"class_list":["post-1586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition","tag-david-kessler","tag-food-inc","tag-health","tag-michael-pollan","tag-organics","tag-robert-lustig","tag-sugar-the-bitter-truth","tag-ted-com"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qEFP-pA","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1657,"url":"https:\/\/bodynsoil.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/a-great-approach-to-managing-farm-stock-via-ted-com-michael-pollan-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":1586,"position":0},"title":"A great approach to managing farm stock","author":"Bodynsoil","date":"August 19, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"A great approach to managing farm stock Growing up in a farming environment was a very interesting experience for me.\u00a0 We had the traditional type farm where the cows and horses were pastured together, all the pigs in a pen and the chickens had their own house with an open\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "News"","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/bodynsoil.com\/blog\/category\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":9309,"url":"https:\/\/bodynsoil.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/review-fed-up-documentary\/","url_meta":{"origin":1586,"position":1},"title":"Review of Fed Up Documentary","author":"Bodynsoil","date":"March 20, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"Review of Fed Up Documentary I had the Fed Up documentary on my list of things to watch for some time, the film was released in 2014.
