Convenience Is Not King #shorts

That message that convenience is king was a deliberate strategy by the food industry to get us to eat more of their junk and processed food. And this happened in the 60s and it really worked. Basically, Americans have been disenfranchised from their kitchens. I don't know if you remember Betty Crocker, but she wasn't a real person. She was a construct of the food industry that allowed them to create a recipe book, which my mother had. I remember most of the recipes had some type of processed food, you know, Advil, V8 cheese, put in your thing of Ritz crackers, a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, but whatever was in your casserole. And all of that was a way to insinuate processed food into the American kitchen and it worked. And now most Americans don't know how to cook. They don't understand how to even chop a vegetable or peel garlic or do anything. And it's a skill thing and it's taking a huge toll on us. We are seeing increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and the processed food is killing us. It's the number one killer on the planet. It's why we basically see six out of 10 Americans with a chronic disease. 93% of us are metabolically unhealthy.
