Main Topic:

“I Have High Cholesterol. How Did I Get Here”

• Before modern day farming, food processing and more sedentary lifestyles we did have to think as much about issues like eating whole foods and being physically active.
• More recently we have become seditary and eat a large portion of our diets as processed foods.  It might be o.k. to rely on factory farms and food companies for our food.

All of us have some idea that my diet and lifestyle make a difference in my health, but many things get in the way of changing your reality.

• Price of process foods
• Convenience of processed foods
• sedentary job and the conveniences of modern technology

As Americans we eat too much
