Video: Ultra Processed Man

My dear brothers and sisters,

We have reached a point without precedent: over 60% of the our caloric intake is from ultra processed foods. Is it any wonder then that nearly half of us are obese? That type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions? You can be sure that this extracts a tragic toll in disease and chronic illness. Even though it seems that epidemic after epidemic is in the offing, how is it that little or nothing is done about prevention?  Who is talking about a fundamental change in the American diet?

Imagine a world wherein everyone has the chance to grow a part of the food  they eat. Instead of consumer here, farmer-specialist there, we have everyone a family  farmer! Everyone, a Victory Gardener! Everyone, a community gardener! 
Enough of this isolation  and  distancing.
Enough of the tsunami of  loneliness!
Enough of the nation of strangers!

Is it not time for us to return to our roots?! 
Enough of ultra processed foods!

Living Tree Community Foods organic red lentils were developed by American plant scientists to cook quickly; they have had their seed coats removed. Combine with traditional Indian spices for a satisfying vegetarian meal. Or enjoy as a side dish with roasted meats or veggies. If not overcooked, these legumes hold their shape and are tasty in soups and purees.
