The Power is in Our Hands

Quite honestly, the food industry is discussing and corrupt, along with half the other industries we rely on now days.  It’s almost like we can’t trust anyone anymore, it’s a dog eat dog world; a money driven world.

However, we should realize how our world works by now. We rely on everyone else to do everything for us, so if we give big industries that power, of course they are going to take advantage.  Do we rely on commercials to tell us what to buy and where to buy it? We certainly are smart enough not to.

If we are educated about the food industry today, then it’s no one’s fault but our own what food we eat. No one is holding a gun to our heads saying eat or die. There is a lot of healthy food out there, we just have to take the time to do the research and get wholesome ingredients, instead of relying on someone else to feed us. 

We are a Google era: anything is possible. We have access to the knowledge of millions of lifetimes, why are we complaining about what we are being fed if we have the power to research, look at labels, and not purchase those items.  If anything, we have the power as consumers.  Large processed food companies cater to our likes and dislikes. If we stop buying, they stop thriving. Simple as that.

I think we have so much power, but we give it to these large junk food corporations.  They engineer and modify their food according to what we buy, it’s a bit silly to turn around and place the blame on them. They are just trying to make money as any company would. 

We need to stop being lazy. There are many cheap ways to eat and live healthy.  We need to think for ourselves and give ourselves, and our children the power of knowledge.  We need to make choices for ourselves and suffer consequences based on our actions. If you eat unhealthy, obesity might be faced. We can’t really blame it on fast food companies because we are the ones who pay to put it in our mouths.  

Even some of the heads in the fast food industry make the choice to stray away from their very own products. They make their own choice based on what they know and what they want for themselves. So let’s make our own choices and our own diet.  Let the companies try and make their money, but we have the power.
