Abstract

While we know much about the nutritional elements in foods (carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc.), it is often difficult translating these elements into a meal. It is important to effectively interpret nutrition into realistic everyday language, which is the foods we eat, our diets, our everyday meals. To achieve this, we need to regain our perspective on healthy eating. It was over 150 years ago that food industry began to emerge with the beginning of the industrial revolution. Prior to that time most people lived in a rural setting where food was locally grown and food was eaten according to the seasons. There were no chemical fertilizers. Industry was exploding at this time and we made great leaps in areas of transportation, chemistry, and food processing. Shelf life and subsequently “improved taste” became of prime importance so food became more modified and processed. Food became an industry.
