Why Food Matters

Posted by Julien Fruchier on Aug 12, 2011 in Health

We all know food matters to our health and to our environment, but do you know just how much?

That’s the central question Food Matters sets out to answer, a fascinating 80-minute documentary that brings together the thoughts and opinions of some of the world’s leaders in nutrition and natural healing.

It argues that the use of nutrition as a cure or preventative solution has gotten lost in our modern world because, well, there is no money in wellness, only in ill health. It doesn’t necessarily tells us anything new but does frame the information in a manner that helps us think about the true meaning of the saying “you are what you eat”.

Food Matters is not a new documentary but anyone who hasn’t seen it yet should. It will hopefully make you question whether medicine alone is the right treatment. I’ve posted the trailer for those who want to watch a preview first.

For more information about James Colquhoun’s and Laurentine ten Bosch’s film, please visit the Food Matters website.

Enjoy!

The saying is so true “you are what you eat.” People need to learn that eating healthy can help them live longer and slow down the aging process! Eating better is the healthy answer!

Recently my wife and I were in “Whole Foods” and I said to her, if there was ever a reason or incentive to strive to make more money, Whole Foods is the place to motivate you. Honestly, it’s expensive to eat health, especially in Hawaii where there’s already a hefty destination charge. When you live a busy life, you don’t always have time to try and be a savvy budget health food shopper. Gotta roll with the punches, I guess.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be that way. Yes, Whole Foods is expensive and eating quality, whole foods can be expensive but not always so. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables that are quite inexpensive. But it does require investing time to figure out where and what to buy.

Too bad the fast food industry does not set more examples providing healthier food.

It is, but there’s always the produce section. That’s the healthiest food you can eat…generally speaking.

Nice post!I learned something new in here. Food is very important in our well being. Me, I’m taking natural Vitamin C everyday which is found in lemons.

Food matters, everyone should think harder, but having been brainwashed by the industry of processed foods, so many fall into a trap. I read recently that the reason the government isnt against processed foods is that processed foods employ a lot of people, and after all more people working is good for the government….

Unfortunately, there is no money in healthy fresh food where as drugs, healthcare, modern agriculture, packaged foods and foodservice are all multi-billion dollar industries.
