As I continued to spend long nights researching everything that could be useful in this fight, it occured to me that keeping what I learned to myself would be a disservice to everyone that I knew, and well beyond that. From that vision, "True Food Knowledge" was born.
Unfortunately, we live in a society that doesn't do us any favors when it comes to protecting us from the things that my family has had to face, and that has become increasingly evident in recent years. An organization like the FDA which most people believe is there to protect them does the exact opposite. They protect the interests of major corporations and the profits that they stand to lose if our true health interests are served. They protect organizations like the pharmaceutical giants and the AMA that promises to "First, do no harm" to their patients, yet they constantly elect to perform surgery when its often not needed, and prescribe drugs with harmful side effects which are intended to be taken for life. The variety of treatments that we have as options in this country for the illnesses that we face result in more deaths annually than the symptoms themselves.
Then there's the major food companies. While one would think that the FDA would regulate what makes its way into our food supply to protect us, the exact opposite happens here as well. The FDA is nothing but a revolving door for people who have spent their time with big bio-tech companies like Monsanto, major food companies, and the pharmaceutical industry. The odds are stacked against us when it comes to the choices that we have to eat, and that's exactly why we're the sickest country on the face of the planet!
My "WHY" is to take what I've learned, and am continuing to learn every day, and to help be part of the solution. It's only through education that we can take our health back as a nation, and that's what this site is about. I spent the weekend in Las Vegas with a marketing expert by the name of Connie Ragen Green learning everything that I can about taking that effort to the next level, and spreading the word as far and as wide as possible. Through a grass roots effort by sites like this and a number of others that continues to grow every day, the truth about how to take control of our health will get out. You will be able to get this info from me on this site and a new blog site that I'll be setting up, and by a number of other methods that I'll be sharing with you. This is my new passion, my mission, and purpose, and I'm dedicated to sharing it with as many people as I can, in as many ways possible.
Until we have widespread, easy access to healthy food choices, and a medical system that focuses on prevention rather than their current profitable treatment model, you'll be hearing from me on a consistent basis. Stay tuned. There's a lot more to come!
To your family's health!
