We don't say wet water, why do we say real food?

This is my very first blog post and I’m excited to be blogging at last – I’m probably not supposed to say that but why not?

I’m a huge advocate for eating whole real food and I find it so strange (and rather sad) that we have to add whole and real when we talk about eating food that is not processed and bad for us!  We don’t say wet water, so why do we need to say whole real food?  So many of us have forgotten to eat like we did as kids (I was very fortunate to eat real food growing up) or as our grandparents did.  

We have health stores and the supermarkets have “health food” and “natural food” sections.  Perhaps they should label the rest of the store “unhealthy food” or “unnatural food” – which it so often is! 

Let’s change things up and go back to calling “whole real food”  just good old “food” and let’s call all the other stuff and junk “unreal food“!

I’m off to eat some food for dinner – roast beef, sweet potatoes and butter, onion and kale bake with garlic and roasted walnuts – yummmm!
