Food is one of the most important things in today’s society. If you don’t eat it, you won’t live. On the other hand, eating too much of it or eating the wrong kinds of food isn’t good for your health either. Not many people seem to realize this.

Nowadays eating healthy is becoming more and more important in our society. Everyone agrees on the fact that eating at McDonalds or Burger King can’t be healthy, but what is the best combination of food?

Years ago we were told that you should drink three glasses of milk every single day. Now people agree that this is not good for you at all. This causes some people to think twice when someone tells them that they should eat a certain fruit or vegetable because you can’t live without the vitamins.

A couple of weeks ago I read a blog by someone who was trying to prove that organic fruits and vegetables are unhealthier than non-organic fruits and vegetables. He said there are more unhealthy fats in them. I can’t imagine that eating something without any chemical additions is more dangerous for your health than something with those additions.

What I’m trying to say is that nobody ever seems to agree on what is healthy and what is not. We’re just going to have to find out what works best for us, and what feels the best to eat. If I eat at McDonalds, it doesn’t feel good, regardless of whether it really is unhealthy or not. Although I would be surprised if anyone would ever manage to prove that McDonalds is any good. If I eat organic vegetables, on the other hand, I feel a lot better.

So for now it doesn’t really matter to me if organic food is really the best thing to eat or not. I feel good when I eat it, it’s delicious, and as a bonus it’s good for the environment too!
