I was just at the supermarket grabbing the weekly groceries.
I usually shop for the same things every time.
But this time, something odd caught my eye
A “low-fat, veggie-packed, healthy microwave pizza.”
This is what it said on the box.
And since I like pizza, and I like eating healthy… I bought it. And it was very tasty.
“I can’t believe it’s healthy!” I told my roommate.
“That’s because it isn’t.” She replied. “Take a look at the ingredients.”
That’s when my heart sank.
I flipped the pizza box over, and there was a whole list of unpronounceable names with tiny letters.
Monosodium glutamate, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, artificial flavors
The list went on and on.
I kept the box so that I’m able to tell this to you.
What I had initially thought to be a healthier option was in truth a heavily processed food product.
This discovery led me to a profound reflection.
Would God be pleased with us feeding our systems, His beautiful, intricate creations, with such foods?
I don’t think He would.
Let’s cast our minds back to Adam and Eve, our ancestors in faith, and their time in the Garden of Eden.
They enjoyed a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Food provided directly by God.
There were no chemical additives, no preservatives or artificial flavors.
Their food was pure, wholesome, and naturally nourishing.
Nowadays, however, more and more people are opting for ultra-processed foods.
These foods are often sold to us as “healthy” but they have been altered from the way that God gave them to us.
And they carry a lot of health risks.
Ultra-processed foods can cause obesity, heart disease, and even cancer.
While these foods might be inexpensive and convenient, the question remains
Are they worth the risk to our health, our well-being, and the physical vessels that God has gifted us?
Of course not.
I fell for it just a few hours ago with this “healthy” pizza I bought
But this could be a nudge from God.
To aid me in warning my fellow Christians about this type of food.
I am grateful I have the power to do that with my Christian blog.
And I am grateful to you for reading this.
The next time you’re grocery shopping, consider opting for a bag of steel-cut oats instead of a box of sugary cereal.
Or perhaps choose fresh chicken breasts rather than the breaded, frozen variety.
These small adjustments can add up to significant health benefits over time.
So let us remember to steer away from those “sneaky” ultra-processed foods.
Don’t Fall For Our “Woke” Politicians’ Lies
When was the last time Biden spoke the truth?
If he’s not blabbering, he is always saying that we are “our economy is thriving.”
Meanwhile unemployment has skyrocketed.
Children are either starving or about to starve.
And homeless people have swarmed the streets.
If there is one thing that our “woke” politicians can do well, it’s lying.
They lie to the public to make it seem like they are doing a good job.
They purposely spread false information to distract us from the truth.
And they control the major media.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction.
But this doesn’t mean we are doomed.
There is an easy way to shield ourselves from misinformation, and that’s with fact-checking.
Fact-checking is an essential step in ensuring that what we see is accurate and reliable.
To become a more effective fact-checker, it’s essential to diversify your sources.
Establish a go-to list of reliable media outlets, resources on the web, and expert organizations that can allow you to verify the accuracy of the information you come across.
And always question what you find out.
Next, pay close attention to the details of what you’re reviewing.
Are there any inconsistencies or discrepancies?
Do they show where they found their info?
If something seems odd or unsupported, take the time to investigate further.
Misinformation evolves and adapts.
Media are becoming sneakier and sneakier.
It’s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and strategies they use.
Continuously educate yourself on fact-checking methods.
And make it a habit to verify the information you consume.
(Even if it comes from a source you trust).
If we stay vigilant, then there is no way to be taken advantage of.
