DEVILS IN OUR FOOD - LET'S CHANGE THIS SITUATION For thousands of years we have grown or collected our food from healthy soil, rivers, and seas. In the Twenty-First Century we are faced with polluted soils from fertilisers and contaminated seas and rivers. Our rivers and seas are polluted from the overuse and discarded plastics and fertiliser run off. Our marine life is under threat and our land environment is changing from global warming. The nutritional value of the food we bought fifty - sixty years ago is no longer in the food we eat today. In many instances, we are paying good, hard-earned money for unhealthy food that will lead to illness in children and possibly premature death in many young people. We are in fact, eating ourselves to death. For change to happen, we each individually need to take action for change to come about. In my book, 'Devils In Our Food,' I've identified over 300 additives (devils) that are contributing worldwide to health problems in many people, including children. Long-term suffering from many diseases are on the increase and science, in many instances, is pointing to the food we are eating. Many foods, while growing in the fields, are sprayed with different fertilisers that are said to be safe, and years later, through illness, we find they are anything but safe. Once picked or harvested, such as corn, barley and other crops, these foods go through a series of processing where many food additive and preservatives are added. If we look at dough mixes, including bread, a staple food not only eaten in Australia but worldwide, there are over sixty different poisonous additives that are used in different breads and cakes around the world. In this new book on Devil Free Recipes - Recipes Without Additives, I'm introducing you to a new way of cooking and eating delicious food you can make at home. The student is not forgotten, students on budgets can make mouth-watering food at the weekend or during holiday times, store it in the freezer and eat when needed.
