Are we obsessed enough about food? No!

I have just watched a debate on tv about whether we are overly obsessed about food these days... I can see why some would think we are... turn on the tv and there is Masterchef, My Kitchen Rules, Jamie Oliver and many other cooking shows... turn on facebook and there is every second person  posting their food photos

So the question to me is are people really obsessed with food and if they are why so and are they actually obsessing over the right things about food... Daz has recently been very keen on exploring this issue deeply and I have been a fine listener of the shocking evidence that have been unveiled

Humans are meant to be more advanced now as time goes by and technology improves... however, our food choices are getting worse and worse... walk into a supermarket and you will see 80% of food that is highly processed and full of sugar... cereals, chips, chocolates, soft drinks, prepacked meals...

About 1.2 million people eat at McDonald's in Australia everyday! That's about 5% of Australia... and everybody knows how bad McDonald's is but people just won't stop... Coca Cola is one of the most profitable and biggest businesses on earth and we all know how the drink gives your body absolutely no good nutrition!

I was listening to a lady argue about how we are not obsessed with food as we should be because our food culture these days is to buy whatever that is most convenient at the cheapest price we can find... we don't bother to investigate how the food was processed, where it was grown and what went into making it...

In France, families plan outings to go search for the highest quality produce... children are thought as part of their education of the different types of wine and cheese and fresh produce that is available in the country... knowing exactly what goes into your body is an area of study that is thought of with care

So why are we so careless about what we eat? Why are we so ready to just munch down the thing that is served to us by media and marketing by billion dollar profit-making companies that couldn't care less about what effects the food has on our bodies? How is it that we can take such a whatever attitude on food when we know that what we consume will directly affect our health?
