One Person's Food Experience Through the Years
When I grew up in the old Soviet Union (Odessa, Ukraine), Lysine 7 Review people ate pretty much what they wanted. Food creation processes have only been seriously altered for about thirty years and the food had not completely turned to plastic on a mass scale. Eating a lot was OK because most food was naturally organic and there was not a lot of cars, so people walked around and had active lifestyles so the food was burned off in an efficient way. In addition, there we few computer jobs then, and the jobs people typically had were much more active. In general, people ate a lot because they needed the energy for their active lifestyles.
After I immigrated to America, I found over one hundred channels on TV. There were also countless video games. At playgrounds people played games like basketball which I had no clue how to play because prior to that I just played soccer all my life. The food was different too. In school we ate pizza, burgers and soda, and when I came home I ate more of the same. I didn't know better. I was a kid.
As I grew up in America, I was introduced to the concept of calories and being fit for the beach to which I didn't go. Somehow I followed all this. It always felt strange, but everyone around me seemed to have been into it and so was I.
Only through education and my own curiosity, I realized how much of a scam the food system in America is, and why diabetes in so rampant. It all hit home especially hard after a family member was diagnosed with diabetes. America has lots of food that is dirt-cheap, but only because of insane short cuts that the factories that create the food make. After eating cheap food, people pay for it with their health in the long run. Now, I rather pay more money for organic food and not really watch calories or anything like that. I also don't even come close to any fast food. Instead I pay attention to how I feel and try to keep a good and reasonable balance, and I am much happier and more well off because of it.
