You are What you Eat – Crikey! Processed potatoes compromise 33% of all white potatoes consumed. The majority of these are in the form of French fries. Fat and oil consumption increased 150% Corn syrup consumption increased 400% Sugar consumption increased 50% (the average person consuming nearly 70 kgs of refined white sugar per year) Between 1910 and 1980 Poultry consumption increased 350% Fresh apple consumption decreased 70% Fresh fruit consumption decreased 33% Food colouring consumption increased 90% Recently, I was reading some statistical information on food consumption in the American diet, compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture… and it is alarming reading! If we wonder why there is so much chronic degenerative disease overwhelming our health system and health budget, acting to reverse or reduce statistics like the following would be a good idea. Whilst this is NZ, not the USA, there are trending similarities in all the Western countries across the whole population. Check out the following: Between 1900 and 1990 Fresh fruit and vegetable consumption decreased from 40% to less than 5% Butter consumption decreased 75% Margarine consumption increased 800%
Between 1960 and 1980 Soft drink consumption increased 300% Whilst these statistics were a while ago now, you can see the trends that likely have worsened in many cases. Obviously, eating the healthiest foods you can is crucial; but for many, if we are honest with ourselves, cost, poor nutrient levels in mass-produced or processed food, busy lifestyles, being time-poor and – very importantly – lowered digestive ability as we age, all translate into the reality of not so healthy.
