I was driving in my car this morning listening to National Public Radio and was absolutely shocked to learn that the number of states where nearly one-third of the adults is obese has tripled. CLICK HERE FOR STORY. That's 1 in 3 adults! It's an epidemic of poor choice making and to be quite honest, lack of choice.
It's hard to eat healthy in America. We don't even know how to do it. Let's not even mention how stressed we are and pressed for time. It's easy to grab fast food for lunch, a candy bar from the vending machine at 2pm when we crash and processed food for dinner. Manufacturers are very convincing that we are making good healthy choices buying their packaged crud fortified with vitamins, minerals and "fiber". It makes me so mad.
It's outrageous. Fast food is not food. I don't care if you choose the salad or the baked potato. I was an auditor with a major accounting firm for 9 years before I was a mom and a yogi. I've been through the manufacturing facilities of major fast food chains. The lettuce is shipped in on a truck, shredded in a factory, packaged in an enormous plastic bag, stuck on a shelf and finally shipped to your local fast food chain. When that lettuce hits your mouth, it's dead or what we call "tamasic" in Ayurveda. You don't even want to know about the hard boiled eggs or the juice that the cheeseburger patties float around in until they get to you.
There is no love in that food and let's be honest, we eat to feel a sense of love. We eat to feel love especially when we are stressed. The reason a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake taste so good and we crave them is because they are considered a "sweet" taste in Ayurveda. They ground you. They make you feel loved. It's a temporary fix for whatever it is you are going through in the moment.
