Never in the history of our culture have we been more worried about what we consume than we do now. "Is it organic, is it natural, low fat--high fiber;" and on and on. This is the real kicker! We as a nation have never been more out of shape and obese than we are at the present time.
I was born in 1946. I look at the family album and see nothing but lean folks before 1950. The crazy thing is, they didn't worry about food like we do now. When I was a kid, there was always an old coffee can full of bacon grease on the top of the stove . Everything was fried. You ate meat three times a day, or something was wrong with you.
So what has happened? Is it sitting in front of your TV or computer, never getting any exercise, or have portion sizes gone through the roof?
I say worry less about what you eat. Eat a bit less, move a lot more and don't buy into everything you see or hear on TV, the Internet or what your best friend's advise du jour might be.
