The documentary you absolutely must see!

This documentary completely changed the way I view the food industry and healthy eating. I watched it for the first time in December, and even tough I was eating pretty healthy then, I learned so much about how certain foods or brands are marketed to seem healthy but in fact are not at all. It also highlights how politicians and food compagnies manipulate citizens to make more money and how this contributes to the epidemic of obesity. Most importantly, Fed Up sends out the powerful message that not all calories are equal and that we should not focus on calories, but rather on quality of nutrients. Yes you can eat 1200 calories a day of doughnuts and (maybe) lose weight, but you certainly won’t be feeling your best! On the other hand, you could also eat 2000 + calories of nutritious and delicious food and feel so energetic, healthy and vibrant. Finally, this documentary convinced me to drastically reduce my sugar intake and stop purchasing processed foods. I used to eat a lot of Kashi granola bars as a snack, but when I realized the sugar content, I decided I would simply start making my own granola bars. They are healthier and taste way better than the packaged version.  The same applies to store-bought hummus, granola, crackers, etc. I will be sharing my recipes to help you reduce the quantity of processed foods you eat. I hope you enjoy the documentary as much as I did and let me know your thoughts about it! (You can rent it on Netflix) Shannon xx
