What Does The Average American Eat

Let's start by asking a fundamental question ; what is health? Everyone knows the common answer, eating right exercise and so on. What about a different standpoint ; the view of health being not just a lack of illness? Like this.

Good health is a positive well being that allows for zest of life and makes every day a new adventure . It is the delight in food, with good digestion, proper function and adequate elimination. It is a prolonged prime of life, without the serious degenerating sicknesses we mistakenly blame on age itself. It is clear, healthy skin, fine muscle tone, maximum resistance to stress, infection and fatigue. It is living up to your highest potential.

Now against that standard, are you actually healthy? And how many people do you know who actually are in perfect health?
What is average, standard health in America? In America it is average and ordinary to :

Be chunky

Eat red meat 2-3 times each day

Have French fries with every junk food meal

Salt food before you taste it

Use sweets for an energy booster

Consume over 40% of your calories in fat every day

Get some distance from adequate exercise

Eat junk food 4 or even more times per week

Load a baked potato with butter and sour cream

Have 3-4 colds and other minor sicknesses every year

Eat for taste and not nutrition

Be stressed and knackered

Consume only 12-14 grams of fiber per day rather than 30

Is constipated or has diarrhea

As a girl to be low in calcium

Any of this look familiar? Is this what you need as your average ; the worst of the best and the very best of the worst? If this is average it's not for me ; average, normal health gives only average energy, joy and fulfillment in life. Is that how you wish to live? Or do these next bunch of facts look familiar?
