Why It Is Difficult To Eat Right

We all want to eat right. We all know that fast food is awful for us, that day-glo orange chips are unhealthy. That eating tons of pizza and chocolate and processed food is bad for us. That preservatives, fat, growth hormones, pesticides and artficial sweeteners are detrimental to our health, but we all eat poorly just the same. Why? Why is following correct nutrition so hard? Why can't we all adopt a healthy eating lifestyle, and stave off heart disease, diabetes, obesity and all the scores of other health related problems that afflict our population? Just why is eating correctly so wrong?

The answer is simple. The entire food production industry is centered around getting us to eat that which makes them money, not what is healthy. Toward that end they manipulate fat, salt, and sugar contents to match our taste buds and brain chemistry, making us crave them more and more. That way when you eat a hamburger or bag of chips you will be eating that which has been designed to push your biochemical buttons, and want more.

What's worse, eating poorly has become part of our culture. Everybody eats badly. Restaurants serve bad food. Fast food joints are ubiquitous. Our families eat poorly, our friends eat poorly. Therefor it is normal to do so ourselves. To suddenly declare you don't want a burger and instead want a salad is hard. It goes against cultural norms. Carving out a new nutrition plan can take not just personal dedication, but going against the way your family eats, shops and consumes. It can be incredibly disruptive and hard to do

.

Finally, it can be expensive to eat correctly. Grass fed, organic beef is more expensive that the cheapest, mass produced ground beef that is full of hormones, preservatives and chemical gunk. Giving up processed food can double your grocery bill if you decide to start eating healthy. It's not cheap to get good quality, and many families argue to themselves that they can't afford to eat healthy, that they need to eat cheap mass produced processed food. So good luck, and hang in there!
