Sad to say, our family eats more junk and fast food than is good for us. I'm stunned and humbled by how little food the last few families eat.
Thank you for this interesting post.
What an eye-opener!
This is an incredible post! What a reality check. It is obsene what we eat especially as North Americans. But not just the amount, but what we eat!
