The 21st century is a scary place when it comes to food. Our food is no longer transparent or simply grown. What you see is not always what you get, and America is the number one offender. Gone are the days of natural, home-grown goods. Farmers' markets are a dying breed. Grocery stores are full of distorted, manipulated, manufactured goods that are the equivalent of wolves in sheep's clothing. Carrots are dyed a brighter, more appealing orange. Chickens are injected with hormones to increase their rate of growth. Entire meals are placed in boxes and filled with enough salt to melt an ice burg. And if you think the grocery store is scary, you'll cringe at what fast food restaurants have been doing for the last two decades. Overall, it is a war out there and only the knowledgeable can win.

    1. My blog is called tactical eating so I dug up picture from of me in camo paint, from when I was in the Marine Corps, I thought it was fitting. Also I ended with "it is a war out there" so it seemed appropriate.
