Be Careful With What You Buy And Eat

How often do you check ingredients on the products before you buy them to put them on your and your loved ones plates?

Maybe and I also hope that after watching this documentary, you’ll be much more careful with the things you eat:

I watched it again with my boyfriend ❤ a couple of days ago and he inspired me to write about it on my blog so more people can find out about it. I think he had a brilliant idea! ☺

I’d like to encourage you also to take action on their website to sign the petitions (they put there) which are good for us and our children (in the future) 😊.

I won’t write about this documentary “Food, Inc.” (trailer), because it says it all, so it’s good to just spare some time and watch it.

“If you don’t take care of your body, where are you going to live?”

What I do?

Every time I’m at the store, I look at the ingredients before I put the product into my cart. The easiest thing is to see if the names of the ingredients you can pronounce. If not, then I’m 99,9% sure that is bad stuff and also, the word “modified” is the worst.

For me, less is better (everywhere).

How to eat healthy?

Just (first buy and) keep healthy food in your fridge. When it’s time to cook something, you open your fridge and there’s no way you’ll eat unhealthy 😊.

Also, try not to eat outside (you don’t know what they put or how they cook the meal you’re about to eat). What we realized with my boyfriend ❤ is that we only ate three times outside (at the restaurants) through the whole last year (we didn’t count the times when we were with our friends out, but that didn’t happen as often either).

What we do, we cook together and that’s the best way, not only for our stomachs, but also for our hearts 😃❤.

Watch out, we’ve been already talking about writing our own cookbook 😆.

  2. I watched this when it came out and it terrified me to see how food was ‘manufactured’ in the US. Left me with an unpleasant taste in my mouth 😕

  3. My mom taught me to read food labels. I have tried to teach our children to do the same. I find that many people are ignorant of what products contain (I don’t mean that in a scary conspiracy way just they don’t know to read them or what it means). A good rule is, if it’s in a crinkly package, it’s probably not good for you.

  4. I absolutely loved Food Inc. so important to be conscious of what you put in your body and how the food affects not only you but the people who harvested it and the environment ! Thanks for the post :$

  6. It’s true that cooking at home with fresh(er) ingredients is indeed the healthier way.
    The only thing though is time. But it is time that love is part of the ingredient. So tastes better too!

  11. And Japan has its special issue with Fukushima contaminated food, food controls, and country wide distribution. I check whether food is coming from distant areas or best even from abroad …

  12. Great article, I love fresh food and it could be more expensive, no prob I hate processed food and reading label very important. I don’t love American food I prefer fish and great companies ruling the market, our food in hands of big companies and only a motto profits no beware in order to insanity products.
    A great market of fresh products is a deal to goodie future times.

  13. I’m glad you watched such a good documentary. I’ve been an label reader expert for a while now :).watching documentaries educating myself made me became vegan. It was all for my health benefits. I started from eating unprocessed food (most of meat is processed). Then I realised what they do with animals on the farms. What I mean they live in dirt and they get injected antibiotics etc. I’m not saying everyone should become vegan or not eat meat at all but its worth to get grass feed animals meat :). I wish you and your loved one all the best I the kitchen. Ula why don’t you and your man think about holiday in UK. I would be more than happy to accommodate you :).

  14. ITu is so good, it lends itself to controversy. In Spanish there is a saying. “In tastes and tastes, there are no colors.” So everyone takes it in a different way. In the end you did an excellent job with this publication. The best food is the one that puts your personal emotion.

  16. Wise advice! My brother – the “chef” in the family – has been steering me away from all the GMOs and other nasties in our food over the past year. I have noticed an amazing difference. I no longer have seizures and I am all around feeling better in certain areas.

    Would you mind if I mentioned this post on my blog? God bless.

    1. Not at all! Go ahead! ☺ That’s great that your brother did that for you ☺, I’m glad you’re feeling better! ☺ That’s what happens when we start to take a closer look at what we eat ☺. God bless you ☺.

      1. I noticed the video you linked to is blocked. I just found another link for the same video on you tube.

  17. Thanks for sharing such an important doc with us. Also, you save money by not dining out AND you spend time with your boyfriend cooking together. Bonus. Awesome.

  20. Good common sense article. Read before buying. Absolutely! I’d like to add, find out where your food is coming from. I’ve always said that unless and until you grow your own food, you have no idea really what you are putting into your body. Reports come out on the news that what’s “organic” isn’t really, that some things put in aren’t listed, etc. Preservatives were put in place because natural food dies the minute you take it off the vine, branch, or out of the ground. Thus the price of natural food is extraordinarily high and expensive (read risky) to transport because the food loses vitamins by the minute. The true healthy eaters are farmers who grow fruit and veggies. They know what goes into their animals and plants. We don’t. We entrust agencies to make sure to regulate, but sometimes those regulations are worked around by corporations interested in making a buck, even though they know none of us can’t survive without food, they have a built in audience but they don’t care. One last thought, even if you eat in restaurants only 3 times a year, that’s three times a year you don’t know WHO is cooking your food, WHO is handling your food and HOW it’s being handled, and WHERE your food comes from, hold old it is from farm, to table to plate, etc. So you are in even less control in restaurants because you don’t know. If you really think about it, it’ll drive you crazy. I do grow some veggies and herbs in garden containers in sunny windows. It takes longer, and takes more effort on your part, and you learn what it really takes to feed one human being let alone a neighborhood, community, city, state, nation, world.

    1. I agree ☺ and the best is to be a farmer- we’ll see, maybe one day ☺. I currently have my own green onions ☺, but planning to grow at least basil and mint soon as well ☺.

  29. I watched this documentary a while back. Shopping in the supermarket got a lot faster once I realized we should only eat fresh produce if I wanted to avoid sulfites (and keep my husband healthy!). No more strolling through the aisles of prepared food! Too bad it took us 20 years to figure that out. I have often wondered if the increase in asthma among children wasn’t due to the increase of additives, etc, in the food most people eat. You as a young popular blogger have a lot of influence on people your age, so it’s good to bring them awareness!

  31. Great advice. I always read labels because I have some food allergies, and I can’t believe some of the things they put in food these days. I was telling my aunt that some dog food companies put propylene glycol in their kibble and she realize that she was drinking something that had the same chemical in it. Propylene glycol is basically antifreeze. Even if it’s “safe in small amounts”, I don’t want to ingest it!

  34. Very good idea to share it with us, congrats!! Eating healthy nowadays is a real challenge but we should all pay much more attention on what we buy, how we preserve food, how we cook it and how we combine it:) have a nice day!!

  35. Great movie! As a vegan, even though you know what goes on it’s a good idea to go back and remind yourself why you went vegan. So I often find myself watching those movies over and over sometimes you get a different perspective.

  40. I totally agree with you on this one, Food Inc. has been on my “to watch” list for a while so hopefully I’ll get round to it soon! It’s so important to learn how to properly care for your body and health – good luck with your potential cookbook venture also!

  44. Loved Food, Inc. have you read “Not on the Label” by Felicity Lawrence. That’s the book that turned my wife vegetarian. Thanks for reading my articles by the way. Not had so many likes in one day since I started. Got any hints on how I can get 7000 followers like you have?

    1. No, but thank you for letting me know about this book, I’ll check it out for sure.
      About followers, well spend lots of time not only on yours, but on others blogs as well and you’ll get there. Good luck!

  50. Hey, your blog is beautiful and I love how simple it is!
    Can I ask how you get each featured photo to be a good size? I’m a newbie and all my featured photos are huge and take up most of my screen!

    1. Hi, thank you so much!
      Of course, when you insert it into your post, you just need to click on it and on the edges you’ll get small squares, so just click on one square and make it to the size you’d like ☺.
