I am on a mission to change the way America eats and to inspire everyone to “Eat the Rainbow” of whole organic foods for their future health and Eliminate processed foods from their diet. {Processed foods includes boxed foods, frozen foods, fast foods and now even much of our restaurant foods that have ingredients in them that you can’t pronounce or don’t know what they are. These food are loaded with sugar, Omega-6 fats that have BT toxins in them, salt and MSG. The sugar interrupts every organ in our body including our brain, the omega-6 fats cause an imbalance in our bodies, we all know how dangerous excess salt is, and then there is the MSG. MSG is a neurotoxin and Is hidden in these foods for two reasons-it is an unami which makes it taste fantastic with no food value and it is addictive.
Watch my two videos in my blog about what Big Food has done to our food supply to keep you addicted and yet offer little or no nutrition but make them huge profits.
This is another layer of harmful ingredients that are making America sick and fat.
This Ted Talk is by a Mother of 5 children and one of her children was severely autistic. THis child was disruptive, uncommunicative and unsociable and was diagnosed as being that way for the rest of her life.
This mother refused to accept that. After trying many approaches she started researching MSG. MSG is a neurotoxin and it is hidden deceptively in our processed foods under 29 different names, including the elusive “natural flavors”.
If you follow my rule to eliminate anything you can not pronounce or don’t know what it is, like natural flavorings (I don’t know what that is, do you?” you eliminate the MSG.
Please watch this Ted Talk from beginning to end. You will see the child and her behavior at the beginning of the journey, and then what was accomplished by eliminating all the MSG and toxic synthetic ingredients in processed foods in this families diet. The little girl at the end of this video has returned to balance and is a “normal” little social charming little girl.
These are all the names that MSG is hidden under in our food. Be aware and much of our Asian food also has MSG in it, but it could be hiding in most of our restaurant foods that are not “farm to table”.

I read once in a different article that “Natural flavors” on a label is also suspect as a cover for MSG.
THere are two new studies out last year that declare that 88% of Americans are Metabolically UnHealthy and both attribute it directly to the Standard American Diet of processed foods.
Also watch my two videos in this blog about what BIG FOOD has done, on purpose, to addict us to this food with no nutrition. It will open your eyes.
And finally a new video with additional information on the effect of BIG FOOD perverting our food supply.
The solution is to eat Real Whole Organic Food and Meat from animals that eat their own specific diet. Grass-fed, Grass-finished Beef, Bison, Lamb only eats grass, and Pastured organic Chicken and Chicken eggs. Only Organic soy ( 93% of soy is GMO so it has BT Toxins in it which are highly disruptive to our health.
I have a course to help you break your addiction to the SAD and the CRAP in our diet. CRAP is Carbonated, refined, artificial, Processed. And it is a very SAD and CRAPPY diet indeed.
I am working on a course of everything you need to know about organic food and didn’t know who to ask coming soon. Where to buy it, how to get the best price, how to make it last, how to pick it, what is in season, great sources for it, how to find money in your budget for it, and then where to store it, what to store it by and what not to store it by, how to slower food waste, when and how to freeze for future use. What are the essential nutrients in each food and finally what are phytonutrients and which phytonutrients are gifts in each whole food. Watch this space. Coming soon.
Please get educated. You don’t want to be one of the 88% of unhealthy AMericans as a result of eating all these synthetic foods. And you certainly don’t want to be feeding them to your children.
