It's So Hard To Get Away From It

I hear this a lot from people that I'm close to;

"It's just so hard to get away from the bad foods because they're everywhere."

While I can certainly agree with this statement I somehow always find myself responding to this EXCUSE the same way;

"So what?"

Yes, indeed bad foods are everywhere but so too are good foods.   We have a choice and often times we make the wrong one.  It's easier to stop and get a muffin or donut than it is to get grass-fed beef jerky or grain-free granola.  I've yet to see a fast-food paleo stop that offers meats, vegetables, paleo snacks and desserts.  Hopefully it won't be long before these places start to pop up.  In the meantime however it's up to us as a community to take back control over what we eat.  It starts with demanding the right foods and refusing to give in to conventional wisdom.  If we don't want the companies to thrive that are loading the grocery stores with these so-called "bad foods" than we have to be willing to stop supporting them with our purchases.
