As many of you know, as Americans, we are "overly fat", heavy, pleasantly plump, I like to call it. I think it has to do with us being taller, bigger boned than most societies, but then again, what do I know, I camped out in a park last night, next to a Motel 6.
Seriously,the folks at the FDA are suggesting we cut our salt consumption nearly in half. Most of the salt we consume doesn't come from the salt shaker on the table, but it's already in the foods we buy everyday and most don't know that. It's even in our cereals we buy.
I have come up with a sure fire way to cut down on "overly fat" people. Many "overly fat" people are on a food stamp program where the federal government, through subsidies, lets recipients purchase food stamps (coupons, for the PC) for their families for pennies on the dollar. While the selection of food is somewhat controlled, as to what the recipient can and cannot buy. I feel there should be stricter controls and not allow those receiving this aid to buy junk food, like soda and potato chips and the like. It would cut down greatly on obesity in America.
We must change our eating habits, along with our life styles. Salt retains water and it raises blood pressure. It sure does taste good though, and I'm more guilty than most. I know That I've cut back on fried foods and sugar. I thought Splenda was the way to go, till I googled it. Now I use Truvia. Remember when butter was bad and oleo, then margarine was good? I'm back to butter, salted even. Land-O-Lakes. What can I say I'm a food label junkie, just as my wife is into labels on clothes, I'm into labels on food. We do get our eggs from private individuals who have chickens (nice, real nice). No steroids here, at least we try. We've also gotten into Almond milk. Pretty good, I must say. Thoughts?
Keep it up,
