You Are What You Eat

Ital Is Vital & Natural Is Total
It's only human to find inspiration
Let me ask you a quick question?
Is your state one of the most obese
in the nation?
let your food be your medicine
and your medicine be your food


As I walk through the grocery store
I noticed the produce section
is always full I also notice
that the snack aisle as well as
the meat section is damn near on empty
Viewing from a human aspect
I call anti-intellectual

just in case you're not specialized
in this specific field I'm going to put
it in terms for the layman
"Grow your own food"
know thyself and true culture
Some people exercise
And they still aren't healthy

What you don't know can kill you
it's a shame that we live in the
information age but we lack knowledge your cell phone is a pocket computer
but you use it for the wrong reasons
it should be used as an educational tool

but I ain't here to lecture you
or ridicule or belittle I'm here to help
I don't have all the answers
but I know enough to share
back in the early days we had to go
to libraries and dig through books
and read to get information
there's no excuse

But what about those that are starving and still hungry….
Well I feed the poor but I am just an individual.

When you change the way
you eat you get such a fight
from the people around you
it's almost like it's more accepting
to do something criminal then improve your health and do something better for your life

In my opinion it comes from lack of education the undercurrent is food
it's so soothing to people
some people are emotional eaters
At holiday gatherings
you're scarfing down food
when you're sad and depressed
You're scarfing down food

when it comes to food
It's an addiction and
poison to your immune system
from all the toxicity
Grease and oils
clogging your arteries

Even if you're not vegan
you can explore a better
way of consuming food that is nutritious you don't know what's really in that
"Secret recipe for disaster"

Your meat is being injected
You meals are disrespected
Think about the current mood
and the energy of the person
that's handling your food

You really have to understand
what food really is
you must not live to eat
but you must eat to live...
