MicroCelebrity Food for Thought

Good Health is the FOUNDATION. Let's begin:

The internet is the great equalizer when it comes to popularity. Microcelebrity is about being that to a small, influential group. Think of products like Coke and people like Oprah as excellent brands. I think we can all agree Oprah can influence almost anything. She's a "smart cookie" so we prioritize her ideas. Ideas are exchanged at the speed of light but sometimes you find a special blog/blogger you may want to slow down and spend a little time with, that's where you are now.

So is Miss O one of the only people who possess genius? Of course not and I love that she inspires us to live our best lives. To that end, one of my main causes, and I hope you'll join me, is to reform the food industry better known as AGRIBUSINESS. Our food supply contains a few 'special', toxic additives I've come to know as enemies of the human body:

1. high fructose corn syrup

2. refined sugar

3. enriched flour

4. gluten

5. trans fat

6. saturated fat

Obesity as well as many other "lifestyle" diseases are attributed to these adulterations/additives/ingredients. I'm not suffering from a myriad of illnesses...yet.

I'll be paying to see the new, watershed documentary, Food, Inc! It premiered June 12, 2009, but if it's not in your city, call an independent theater to request it. I did it and it will premier in my city July 10, 2009. The youtube trailers are good too.

Whatever we buy is a VOTE at the cash register. Marketing tactics to supply us with out of season fruits & vegetables from far away places and hormone-laden meat is atrocious!

Share your thoughts with me, more to follow. Thanks.
