The identical cookie-cutter shapes of bite-sized meats, fruit juices that contain little or no fruit or even vegetable juices that contain more fructose corn syrup than carrots or tomatoes. We call this food?
Walking down the aisles of the common grocery store, these foods become glamorized by the shiny packaging, catchy advertisements, and transformed claims plastered to boxes to convince a parent that their child needs sugar-filled cereal to make good grades.
In between all of these persuasive foods, there lays the purest food that nature create itself—not a food created in a laboratory. However, most stores often limit the amount of space for the real foods and provide vast space in order to put the business at top priority, not the health of its customers.
Kansas Eating blog provides resources to help educate the consumer on foods produced in Kansas and where to buy them. The blog is dedicated helping Kansans purchase, prepare, and enjoy food from this great state.
