Today we have a very unique experiment in progress. For hundreds and even thousands of years humans have eaten predominantly an as grown whole foods diet. It is only in recent times that this has changed.Today obesity has become a global problem. So have the whole range of lifestyle diseases including type 2 diabetes. The situation has become virtually a worldwide epidemic. Today even countries that are still developing are struggling with the plethora of lifestyle diseases.We used to say that our country is one of the fattest in the world. Today we have come to point where we have to say that the world is fatter than it ever has been. The question needs to be asked why?There is no absolutely no doubt that as we have moved away from as grown foods and moved toward factory made foods the obesityepidemic has exploded. We can see this happening in developing counties right before our eyes. The results of our worldwide experiment are in and they are definitely not good. The world is fatter and sicker than ever and the biggest concern is it is getting worse.
Our children today have lost all concept as to what fresh food is. Virtually everything is processed. These foods are dangerous to our heath and it is these foods that are causing the obesity epidemic. They are killing people. This is now beyond doubt. It is now widely accepted that the generation growing up today will be the first generation to live shorter than their parents.
Society has come to a point where most people now think that going to supermarket and purchasing packaged foods is a healthy option. These package foods are in the same category a junk foods. They are highly processed, are energy rich but nutrient poor. In other words they produce a high sugar load after ingestion.
