What have those words got to do with food ?
Everything .
The following is an extract from Wholefood by Jude Blereau........
`It seems we have forgotten what good food really is , where it comes from ( not plastic wrapped from the supermarkets ) and what it should taste like .
One look in hospital and work place canteens , bakeries or cafés will show you exactly what I am talking about , food with little flavour , loaded with refined sugar and damaged fats to give taste .
Food that is manufactured with the cheapest of compromised ingredients .
Today , even fresh produce is grown to last .... superficial and tasteless . How can this be happening , when we have so much knowledge available to us ?
Refined and processed foods give nothing to your body : in fact they take away as your body tries to digest them .
These foods do not sustain you , they do not nourish you .
Your body knows this : you can eat and still be malnourished .
Your soul knows this : you can eat and still be hungry .
It is absolutely no coincidence that our children raised on these foods , are lost and angry , hungry and searching for something they do not understand : for on a cellular level , they are starving .`
When you cook for your family and friends , you are providing more nourishment than packaged food ever could .
The meals you make contain a powerful medicine ....love .
Next time you are tempted to buy a `cooked chook ` , know that when you make the effort to cook , your work is of value .
Instead buy an uncooked chicken , one that is not loaded with hormones , bleach and stimulants , take a few minutes to season it with thyme , a little salt and garlic and place it in the oven .
Organise a salad bursting with fresh flavours using a handful of leafy vegetables and fruit .
Or place vegetables in the oven to roast with the chicken ........this will be far more fulfilling on many levels , than anything store bought .
