I am so confused and frustrated. I am trying to eat better and healthier and the more I learn the harder it is to easily find food that is healthy, economical and won't turn me into a sea slug or something. I am talking food additives, fillers, processing and, of course the biggie, GMOs.
I have to go into the grocery store armed w/ lists of ingredients to avoid in order to find food that is good for me. Isn't this the food service's job? Why do I have to spend so much time searching in a food store to find REAL FOOD?
Until someone tells me to the contrary, food supplier's care only about their profit, and anything that will put them into a lawsuit...reputation and money. With so many of them spending millions on keeping us in the dark about some of these foods and additives... Seriously, is there anyone out there I can trust?
Here is where the organic foods area comes in. They are REGULATED to keep to a STRICT guideline to label them organic. Organic means no chemical pesticides, fertilizers, frankenseeds, etc. Sounds awesome right? REAL FOOD....at a price. As far as I know the organics area is small, takes a lil longer, and more importantly organic farmers don't get as many government grants, insurances, etc as Big AG does.
So in the short, I have to pay a lot more in order to keep myself from eating creepy things. I am a student... I have no money. I want to lose weight, feel better and get rid of this damn depression I've had for 13 years. Had I known that I have to do everything... maybe I'll just go live in the woods... cause the companies I should trust to help seem to care for nothing but their bottom line.
Like I said, I am incredibly frustrated, and don't know what to do and where to turn.
