Whole Foods

Bread of Life focuses on natural whole foods!

What is meant by whole foods? Fresh whole foods refers to natural whole foods that have not be altered and processed by man to artificially extend their shelf life. Fresh whole foods contain the natural nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, etc. that are a part of living plants and animals. In their natural whole form, these foods contain everything your body needs to digest the food and bring its life giving nutrients to your body. Life begets life. The problem is that these whole foods, once their life is gone, begins a natural process of degeneration. The sooner they are eaten, the more nutrition we get from them. At varying degrees of time, these foods will spoil and no longer be edible.

When we refer to fresh whole foods, we also mean that these foods have not been genetically modified or altered by man. There is a basic issue here. If you are a person of faith, you believe that God created and provided the foods we need for a healthy and abundant life. When man thinks he can do better than what God has provided, there are always negative consequences.

Others would argue that there is a natural ecological process involved that man does not comprehend and that man’s alterations are dangerous and will ultimately lead to errors which the average person will bear the consequences of. Whatever your conclusions, both would agree that our food chain is now being driven by the drive for profits and wealth with little consideration for people’s health.

The lure of cheap, instant artificial food to a society focussed on pleasure and entertainment cannot be easily halted. Slick marketing convinces the naive that this concoction tastes great! Others who have more balance in their lives find it difficult to find and afford real food. The cycle is a vicious one but one worth overcoming.

Whole Foods. Pay more. Eat Less. It works!

Nothing is free and money is scarce for many, but more and more people are discovering that their quality of life is more important than eating cheap processed foods. They know they will pay for cheap foods through poor health and chronic health problems in the future. We used to say you will pay for it later in life, but more and more children are getting health problems from the womb because their mothers trusted the food industry and ate what they could afford at the superstore. You will have to pay more for natural whole foods, but your hunger is satisfied with less whole foods so you eat less and your body will not have to store fat from the blood sugar generated from refined foods.
