If you’re trying to lose weight or simply get your health in check, one of the most powerful\u00a0moments in your journey is to get a clearer picture of what you’re putting in your mouth. It’s shocking how many people choose to blindly consume things they clearly do not understand and I’m hoping this little lesson will make you take a little pause before you take a bite.<\/p>\n

I use the hot dog as a great example, because it’s contents, for most,\u00a0are simply horrifying. Remember that show “Fear Factor”? I do. I remember the horror and nausea which overcame me each time the contestants sucked down plates of brains, testicles and intestines. The grand majority of us proclaimed we couldn’t do such a thing for all of the money in the world. But oddly, most people do. They do it often and\u00a0they do it for free! Why? Did you know that\u00a0most hot dogs are\u00a0encased in\u00a0the small intestines of sheep? Really? Really! And it’s probably a good time to remind you that the small intestines are the second to last portion of\u00a0the gastrointestinal track, aka “the poo tube”, which leads to the large intestine and then out. Ew! How many poo tubes have you chewed? God only knows.<\/p>\n

So yeah. Weiners are a great example of blind consumption. I’ll follow with a\u00a0few\u00a0others.<\/p>\n
