Processed Foods! What the Consumer Needs to Know!

by David J. Pleau

Overview

The material covered in this publication is non exhaustive as an expose’ on the dangers of processed foods. It is intended to serve as a sobriquet to the folly of believing the media hype produced by the food industry. Those executives do not have the health of the consumer as its primary objective. Their primary objective is profit margin, which comes with the result of the good health of the consumer being forfeited. “I can’t see the forest because there are too many trees in the way” is an appropriate axiom in this case as this era that we currently live in as citizens of the USA coincides with extremely high rates of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, joint issues, all of which are traced to dietary patterns. The prevalence of such issues currently is perceived by the masses as “normal”; otherwise, if public perception was cognizant of the link between health and diet, drastic changes in eating habits would ensue for those who have logic based will power. It seems that there are “too many trees in the way, preventing the average citizen to see the forest”. An old Oriental proverb states that “every trip begins with one step”. The point is that one shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the prevalence of processed foods. Rather, one should be enlightened to the fact that alternatives are readily available and usually more affordable (less expensive). Walk away from processed foods and walk toward natural foods and the ensuing trip will prove to be beneficial and healthy!

About the Author

David J. Pleau was born and raised in Waterville, Maine, USA. He currently resides in Bybee, Tn., near the Great Smoky Mountains and the Cherokee National Forest. David graduated from Kaplan University in April of 2014 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutritional Sciences. He is currently pursuing a Master of Science degree from Purdue University in Health Education (Nutrition, Lifestyle, Environmental Hazards, Social Influence, Demographic Influence, etc. . .). He has been a student of nutrition since the age of 19, when he bought a book from a fellow student entitled "Diet For A Small Planet" which advocated the sensibility of a vegetarian diet. Even though David Pleau hasn't been in poor health either then or now, the book made sense and he has since studied different eating customs in lands around the earth and the resultant health issues including disease occurrence based on food consumed and longevity directly influenced by foods chosen and eaten. With these degrees, credentials are established to the end of educating all who can see and desire to learn the link between eating patterns and good health/longevity. It is a scientific fact that many common diseases today such as cancer, obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and a host of others are directly linked to poor dietary habits. I have many books available on the website: "Smashwords". These are published and each book has an appropriate ISBN number. Most of them are listed at $1.99 and one, "Cures for Common Diseases and Ailments" is an encyclopedia listing the contents of the others. This one is available at $4.99. Obviously I am not out to economically gouge anyone at those prices. . I have over 40 years of Nutritional Studies in my background, and am current on global eating patterns and results.
