My thoughts on Food Matters Part 2

I really want to start eating more raw foods after seeing Food Matters in class today. That was one of the ideas mentioned by every single person in the film. Whether I eat raw veggies as a snack or with a full meal, I don’t really care. Just as long as I start eating better. It will take time, I definitely know that, but I’m fully willing to do what it takes to live better. Another thing I plan on doing from now on is taking less medication. I’ve never been one to take a lot of pills, but it seems to be that less is more in this case. I’m perfectly fine with that, as I don’t like taking pills or medicine in the first place. Something about putting all those chemicals in my body has always bugged me. As for doing something to help my family and communities well being? Well I can try my best to teach them and show them the benefits of raw foods and less medicine, but I certainly won’t go around preaching it. If they want to change, then I’ll help the best way I can. If they choose not to change their diet and pill intake, then that’s their choice. Documentaries have never really changed my opinion on something before, though I can’t ignore the substantial evidence that nutrition can help prevent and cure disease, and that treatments to fight cancer can give you cancer. Everything I was taught as a kid seems to be wrong. I’m determined to find more right answers from now on.
