By now, we probably all have heard that margarine is only one molecule away from being plastic. Well, that might be true since it’s hydrogenated. But in any case, it’s still unnaturally produced. It doesn’t come from dairy like butter. Margarine doesn’t grow mold and if left outside, flies won’t even eat it because it contains no nutrients. If animals aren’t eating it, it’s probably not nutritious.

Take a look at these two pictures and think about how you would feel after eating the fruits and vegetables vs the junk food. Your answers might be (after eating junk food): tired, bloated, greasy, gurgley, gassy, sick.

Or (after eating fresh fruits or veggies): awake, energized, fresh, satisfied, healthy, clean.

Just like people say, you are what you eat.

We should also note that most juice is pasteurized, (heated) which kills off many important nutrients, but leaving in the juice’s natural sugars (in fruit juice, that is usually a lot of sugar!). Check your juices nutrition labels and be aware of how much sugar you are taking in. We also probably know that if you leave a piece of steak in a bowl of coca cola for a couple days, the cola will eat away at the meat leaving just the bone! Imagine what it does to your body? Your organs? Most people don’t give soda to their dog, cat or newborn baby… you don’t let them smoke either or give them alcohol. The majority of people don’t, at least. People usually think it’s not good for them. But if you think about it, adults, kids and teens have the same organ systems that babies and most animals have. People tend to forget this and think they can consume anything!

In fact, one study done by the Swedish National Food Administration (WHO 2002) showed that foods like potato chips and bread typically contain acrylamide, which is a chemical that has been proven to cause cancer in animals, and is now labeled as being “probably cancerous to humans”. Acrylamide is produced while cooking at higher temps, usually by frying and roasting foods. That’s why higher levels of the chemical are usually found in potato chips, biscuits and bread. It’s also been found that roasting coffee beans can produce significant amounts (CCPA 2006).

In any case, it just seems natural and almost obvious that if people ate more natural foods that originated from earth, there would be much less cancers and other diseases linked to chemicals or too much sugars.
