Read First Before Buy Death Supermarket Fattening Dumbing Poisoning
"Death By Supermarket" is a five star book. The author's Grandma, the first healthy eater in the family, who is quoted a number of times in the book, would be proud of her Granddaughter. Even though Grandma was seen as the family oddball, she stuck to her beliefs and eventually passed them on to her Granddaughter Nancy.
For years my philosophy concerning food has been to "Let your food be your medicine bottle." To finally have an author echo these beliefs and gives additional insight as to how to walk them out is truly refreshing. We should shop for fresh, locally grown foods as much as possible. When going to the supermarket, we are to shop the outside isles of the store, where the whole foods such s meats, eggs, dairy, fruits and veggies are found. You want to stick with whole grains, which haven't had all the nutrients processed out of them as have refined grains, with only a few of those nutrients being replaced with synthetic vitamins, etc. It's also important to buy 100% free range meat, dairy and eggs, which don't have growth hormones or antibiotics, aren't crowded into farm factory facilities or fed species inappropriate food and are slaughtered most humanly. It's also important to purchase Alaskan Salmon, which isn't full of mercury and other toxic industrial waste contaminants. As Chief Seattle said, "How we treat the land, we treat ourselves." This is also true of how we treat our animals.
The whole food always contains various nutrients in the proper amounts that work as a team to nourish your body. Some of these nutrients haven't even been discovered yet. You determinately can't desperate one or even several of these nutrients from the whole food and receive the same nutritional benefit. Also different foods are high in different nutrients, which is why you need to eat a variety of whole foods from all of the three main food groups, fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
Having said that, much of our soils have become nutritionally depleted, because of unwise farming practices and so you want to purchase organic grains and produce when that is possible. You also want to eat the freshest food possible. Wilted organic produce, which has been shipped long distances and sat for extended periods of time on the supermarket shelf is unhealthy at any price. You are better off purchasing really fresh non organic produce.
Nancy's message really needs to be read and embraced by every American, especially those with the strongest Puritan ethics, who really believe that food isn't meant to be savored or celebrated. Our Creator gives us all things richly to enjoy. Mouth watering real food is meant to be eaten with gratefulness, leisurely enjoyed with family and friends as the good gift that it is to us from an all loving God. Also our bodies are more than a machine, and food is more than the fuel. Our bodies are a fearfully and wonderfully made creation and food is a gift meant to enjoyed as it nourishes us.
This is a must read for all parents and grandparents. I am continually dismayed and horrified by what my extended family is feeding their children. There is nary a fruit or vegetable in sight and meat and dairy are the processed kind. Its all full of sugar, salt, chemicals and perservatives. Nancy Deville makes a compelling case for the benefits of "real food" versus the harmful effects of "factory food products". Well done!

BalasHapusI am only half-way through Death by Supermarket and it is already having a profound effect. I am purging my house of high fructose corn syrup and aspartame for starters. I've lost 6 pounds in two weeks without even thinking about dieting. I just finished the chapter on factory milk and have curtailed my consumption. The line about drinking dead pus was what did it for me. My sons and wife are waiting impatiently for me finish the book and pass it along. There should be a copy of this book in every home.
BalasHapusAfter reading this book I know what to do to lose weight, feel energized and look younger. A must read. Eye opening.
BalasHapusYou will never shop for groceries the same way after reading this book. I wish I had read this a long time ago. The food industry is killing us!
I would recommend this book to anyone.
Death by Supermarket by Nancy Deville will probably be largely read by people who already feel there's a certain malignancy in super market shopping. However as attracted as I was by the title I feel like the masses are the ones who should read this materiel. The book is so well written for the `average' person to comprehend. I personally shop in farmers markets and health food stores. I read labels and I consult with my doctor. But this book addresses the incredibly scary corporate schemes to make money off of consumer ignorance. I recently gave my daughter in law, who has health issues, a copy of Ms. Deville's book. She was preparing to wean her baby from breast milk to soy milk thinking she was doing the best thing. I earmarked the chapter on soy for her to read. After reading the book she decided not to give the child soy milk because of the facts revealed in that chapter. What's marvelous about this book is that not only through her research she has uncovered and revealed what you don't want to eat but she also supplies you with the solution of the best ways to eat. This book more than any other I've seen about life styles addresses the human desire to be healthy and happy and the simple way to fulfill it by eating real food and at the same time refusing to contribute to the monstrous way we treat animals and no longer being slaves to the drug companies lies for profit.
BalasHapusYES! I cannot say enough about Death by Supermarket. I have two small boys, and just this week went to check one of them into Sunday Bible class and the teacher at one class told me my son is very very smart. I told her that I home school and my friend said, 'she also feeds him real food.' The teacher (who also teaches at regular school) said, 'that's makes a huge difference.'
BalasHapusI too am going to use Death by Supermarket as a reference manual so that I can get others to understand why I put 'chemicals' and 'sugar' down on lists when I am checking my boys into classes and they ask for any allergies. I hope more people will get that we are ALL allergic to sugar and chemicals by reading Death by Supermarket! Before I started telling classes not to give my boys processed stuff I always had a battle of temper tantrums and meltdowns after classes where they had been given products to eat that had sugar, chemicals and dyes.
I had some bad health problems and about two years ago I had an epiphany about what I was eating. I started eating real food and nothing packaged or processed and I lost 35 pounds by just changing to real food. My health is so much better, people are always asking me what I did. When I tell them I don't eat processed food anymore I usually get some sort of puzzled look.....Nancy Deville's book explains it much better than I can.
I also want to say that I have a husband besides my two boys, and anyone who says that preparing food from scratch is difficult or unrealistic has never really tried. It's not rocket science and it in fact has made us a happier and healthier family. My boys jump up and down and beg for the marinated mushrooms and yes they are fussy, sometimes they tell me, "I only want the broccoli!"
Once in awhile, if you're really lucky, a book comes along that will change your life. Death By Supermarket is one of those books. Initially,I was curious about it because of its intriguing title and now I'm a huge fan and supporter of its message. I have always eaten pretty well--or so I thought--but so much has changed after reading this book.I eat only real food now--foods that have been picked, fished, hunted, and milked. i have completely turned my back on "factory foods," imitation, fake food with ingredients on the label that can't even be pronounced. You've heard of a "fast food nation." Well, i think we have become a "factory food nation," and it has to stop. Reading this book motivates one to stop eating the processed junk and the fake this and that. It's the best diet book out there--and it isn't a diet book! If you eat real food, you will never have to diet again and your body will return to its normal weight. Nancy Deville is an amazing woman with a very important message for all of us. Death By Supermaket is a page turner!
BalasHapusP.S. Don't drink diet colas and don't eat splenda!
Every June, my husband, four kids and I pack up and leave sunny South Florida and head to our home in Ecuador S.A. and the cool crisp weather of the Andes.
BalasHapusAfter a week in the mountains my whole family feels better, looks better and has double energy.
After returning home this past September I soon began to feel slightly sluggish and noticed my kids becoming more irritable.
Shortly after the kids started the new school year, I turned on my car radio and heard the voice of Nancy Deville for the first time. WHAM!, it suddenly all made sense. THE FOOD!!
Here back in South Florida, our chickens came wrapped in plastic from a giant supermarket chain, not from our neighbors farm down the road. The same with all our meats, fruits and vegetables. In Ecuador we grow our fruits and vegetables or purchase them from the amazing Indian market 5 minutes from our home. No chemicals, pesticides, additives or plastic..
just row after row of the most beautiful natural food you will ever see.
The day I heard Nancy's message for the first time I went straight home and ordered 5 copies of her book "Death by Supermarket".
Her knowledge has changed the life of my family, and my friends families.
We all owe Ms. Deville a giant "THANK YOU" and we mean it!!!!
