Frozen yogurt is not health food

Frozen yogurt is not health food

Frozen yogurt shops don't deliver healthy food, but they do deliver the illusion of healthy food. And in America today, where illusion dominates reality, that's good enough!

I got this email from Natural News a few days ago. It was an article by Mike Adams about frozen yogurt. I don't really think much about frozen yogurt. I mean, seriously, if I'm going to have a cold treat, I really want ice cream. The point isn't to be healthy anyway. But there was a really good point about frozen yogurt having this illusion of a healthy snack, while it's nothing more than glorified ice cream with probiotics.

Then at one point in the post, the author turns a corner and starts talking about reality in the US being an illusion. We don't want the reality, because it infringes on our right to live the life that we want.

Then he gets into popular religion in America.

I mean, I have no idea where he stands with religion, but I can see him getting really passionate about this. Mike says, "They don't really want to authentically believe in God, you see, because that would require a whole different level of personal discipline to act in a way that honored their beliefs (and honored their body as a temple)." Whoa. The guilt starts pouring in, and I'm not even sure I did anything wrong.

So he's talking about authentic Christianity. Authentic living. Living the life that reflects a belief system that has depth and breadth. Being consistent with those beliefs. And by consistent I mean wanting to save the animals and the unborn from a violent end.

Just read the article. It made me stop and examine my beliefs and the way I care for my body. I am constantly learning new things about health. I'm not consistently putting it into practice, but I am making an effort everyday. The way I do my grocery shopping has changed dramatically since the beginning of the year. It will continue to change as I figure out how I can reconcile my family's eating habits with healthy ideals. I want my life to reflect the truth of what I believe.
