Measure Food Quality

The better the food we put into our bodies, the better our bodies will function.


Food quality should be important to everyone and is regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration. The quality of the food that we put into our bodies ultimately determines how well our bodies function; therefore, we should strive to find and consume the best quality food that we can.


Instructions


1. Foods with high fructose corn syrup are not of good quality.


Look at the packaging of your food. Does your boxed food have the ingredient "high fructose corn syrup" within the first five ingredients? If so, this is an indication that it is not a good quality food. It is very unhealthy, made with fattening sugars and has minimal nutritional value.


2. Hormone- and antibiotic-free meats are the best quality that you can buy.


Ask the person who works in the meat department whether their beef and other meat is antibiotic-free. Grass-fed meats are the best that you can buy because this means the animals were able to graze and were not treated with hormones and other medicines that can be harmful to you.


3. Buy organic fruits and veggies whenever possible to avoid health problems.


Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Organic fruits and veggies are less likely to have been treated with pesticides or waxes. These are horrible for you and often will stay lodged in your fat stores, which in turn can cause severe damage, such as cancer and other health problems.


4. Hot dogs that are not kosher usually are filled with animal byproducts.


Look at labels to make sure that your food isn't made with animal byproducts. These are not fit for human consumption and include entrails and hooves. Sometimes, animal waste also is leaked into these foods, but the food companies allow it because the ratio is so minimal.
