Fake Food Free's Page

Just found this link on another food blog and decided to sign up. Looks like a great group with a healthy focus.

Hi! Thanks so much. To me, fake foods are processed foods with additives and chemicals. I worked in an academic setting for a health grant for a few years before becoming a freelance writer. At the time, I was focused in physical activity, but I was (am) a Nutritionist and worked with many RDs on the program. I constantly witnessed them promoting sugar free, fat free foods and snacks as ways to eat healthy. Also lots of foods that are perceived as healthy, but contain a lot of additives - crackers, bars, etc.

My view is that most of the health problems we have stem from these foods. As a nation, lots of people eats these types of foods, but still struggle with weight, inculding myself. I'm at a point where I am trying to reduce or eliminate these types of foods from my diet. I think natural foods are better.

That is what the blog is about. It isn't really about organic or being perfect, just a mission to stop relying on convenience foods and taking the time to focus on my health even more so than I have in the past.
