For decades now, people in many parts of the world have stopped eating whole, real foods, instead filling themselves up with low-nutrition, high-sugar, ultra-processed foods that are designed in a lab to fool people into eating them even when they're not hungry. As a result, people are getting sicker. They're living shorter, lower-quality lives. But many are saying, "Enough is enough." They're rediscovering the rich flavors, textures, colors, cultural significance, and health benefits of eating real food and how fun it is to prepare, eat, and share food made from scratch with friends and family. They're choosing "whole foods for life." Making the switch from a standard American diet (SAD) isn't easy. We don't live in a time when people have hours to spend making everything from scratch. Sometimes limited money, time, or access push people toward less-healthy options. However, the simple truth is that people can develop skills that make a whole food lifestyle easier, more affordable, accessible, and practical in modern society. They can break the unhealthy habits that are making them sick and develop good habits around whole foods, friends, and staying physically active for life.
