Welcome! Hey All!

My name Alex and this is my first time blogging! I'm not very social media savvy but I'm excited to see what this is all about. My passion is health! I believe there are many aspects of the American lifestyle that are not conducive to health but I feel our eating habits are having the largest negative effects.  Food has a HUGE impact on our health and feel that there is an American food crisis. We don't know what to eat and tend to trust "food-like substances" instead of real, whole food.  As the Western diet has been introduced around the world the same problems we're having are growing there; including a big one we're all familiar with - diabetes.  Check out these alarming statistics.
