Fast Food is Plague upon America

Fast food is a plague upon our nation. Here is an excerpt of an article by Leanne Ely, the "dinner diva":

"One of the biggest issues is eating fast food. You know I'm down of fast food for anyone, but it's especially harmful for children's growing bodies. Think about it; you're giving the lowest quality food to a growing body. This isn't exactly quality material for the body to develop and build from! We wouldn't put a known, poor quality gasoline in our cars, nor would we build our houses with sub-par building supplies, yet we rationalize throwing absolute garbage food down our children's throats in the name of fast and easy."

With all of the information on the evils of fast food now available, you'd think that people would start to realize that it's literally killing them and their children. Research says that this is the first generation of children not expected to outlive their parents. Does that not bother anyone else? We need to get back to eating real food. This problem has to be fixed from the roots up. We're not going to make food companies stop selling crap. We just have to stop buying it.

HealthSmart

Today I had the pleasure of checking out our new health food store here in Beckley called HealthSmart. I'm really excited about it! It's just like Edith's in Lewisburg, except it's only five minutes away instead of an hour. They have a great selection, are extremely friendly, and are willing to order anything you want to buy. They're even going to look into getting good local grass-fed beef to sell in the store (I recommended Sarver Heritage Farm because they told us they've been looking for a place in Beckley or Princeton to stop by) . I can't express how excited I am about this store. If they get enough variety, and meat and produce, I can just skip the grocery store altogether! I know that this is the grocery store of the future. I wish all grocery stores were like this.
