Today we tend to think of being healthy as just getting through the day, making a living, or not dropping dead. We think good health is the absence of disease. We look at the body as a bunch of different bits and pieces, we have all sorts of different doctors, the ear, nose, and throat guy; the skin guy; the heart guy and then when things go wrong we concentrate on the disease itself – like the oncologist, the cancer guy. Modern science is constantly focusing it’s microscope, seeing tinier and tinier bits and pieces, trying to figure out the puzzle of disease. Not health…….the disease. We have convinced ourselves that our health has nothing to do with what we eat. We spend lots of money and time buying the best trinkets and gadgets of top quality and when it comes to what we eat or put in our bodies we run to the nearest fast food restaurant because it is easy. It’s convenient. We think cooking and preparing food is just too hard! Baloney! We have created a separation between food and illness in our culture.
