What Does The Average American Eat

Let’s start by asking a basic question ; what’s health? We all know the usual answer, eating right exercise etc . What about a different viewpoint ; the view of health being not simply a shortage of sickness? Like this.

Good health is a positive well being that allows for zest of life and makes each day a new adventure . It’s the delight in food, with good digestion, proper utilization and acceptable elimination. It’s a prolonged prime of life, without the serious degenerative diseases we erroneously blame on age itself. It is clear, clear skin, fine muscle tone, maximum resistance to stress, infection and fatigue. It is living up to your fullest potential.

Now against that standard, are you healthy? And how many people did you know who really are in optimal health?
What is average, ordinary health in America? In America it is average and standard to :

Be overweight

Eat red meat 2-3 times every day

Have French fries with every junk food meal

Salt food before you taste it

Use sweets for an energy booster

Consume over 40% of your calories in fat each day

Get far from adequate exercise

Eat fast food 4 or even more times per week

Load a baked potato with butter and sour cream

Eat for taste and not nutrition

Be stressed and tired

Any of this look familiar? Is this what you want as your average ; the worst of the best and the very best of the worst? If this is average it isn’t for me ; average, ordinary health gives only average energy, joy and accomplishment in life. Is that how you need to live? Or do these next bunch of facts look familiar?
