Busy Mornings vs Good Intentions - A Parent's Health Dilemma

I love that.

And, and as you're saying that, I'm hearing those words come from your mouth, and you're treating your kids like test labs in a beautiful environment where you've got nutritious food.

But, but on the other side, and I actually couldn't believe when I read this study, uh, no, not read this study, when I listened to this whistleblower statement, that they sit...

So these creators of these manufactured processed foods, they literally come up with chemicals that create an addiction.

You know, a dopamine hit, basically.

Hmm.

Um, and they then have that in the food, so then you've got the, the children's palate compromised 'cause they're conditioned to this hyper-palatable processed food.

Hmm.

Like, but what you're doing is the opposite.

You're giving them natural stuff, and that weans them off this garbage, I guess, you know-

Hmm

... um, that, that we tend to put in.

I guess it probably leads to a question about at what point did, in your opinion, did food become chemistry, if you believe this to be true-

Hmm

... rather than nourishment?

Yeah.

I-- look, I think, um...

So yeah, one thing we haven't touched on yet is the food pyramid as well.

So-

Oh, yeah.

We've gotta get into that

... um, I-- but before I sort of mention the food pyramid, I think, um, sort of 1980s was really when the kind of packaged convenience foods, microwavable foods really kinda came to the fore.

And when you look at the rates of chronic disease and obesity, there was a definite shift in that, in that period.

So I'm not saying that was the only factor, but, um, when you put the two [chuckles] things, um, side by side, there's, there's some correlation there.

Yeah, 100%.
