I was talking with a Canadian friend today who moved to Southern California a little over a year ago. She was telling me when she first moved here, she gained 15 pounds eating the exact same food she ate in Canada. Her recipes and meals hadn’t changed, but something sure had… she realized after doing research that what was different is Canada has stricter laws about what’s allowed to be used in the production of food. Our food has chemicals (hormones, antibiotics, etc.) in it because the FDA allows them in the growing and processing stages.
Cows are treated with antibiotics and hormones and those get into your steaks and milk. Pesticides are used in agriculture and the fruits and vegetables (which are mostly water, by the way) soak them up from the ground water. You eat all that!
Once my friend started eating organic food, she dropped the weight. Interesting isn’t it?
