    About this ebook

    Yikes! Another cancer. What did I do wrong, and what can I do better? Are the foods we're eating preventing cancer, or are they contributing to cancer and diseases? It seems more likely than not that we're eating foods with toxic chemicals and hormones or that have been genetically modified. Is it up to the USDA, FDA, EPA, Wall Street, or us to eat good natural food? How does it even make it to our grocery store and then to our dinner table?

      It is a bit of a tradition to start the new year with a new diet plan. “This year I’m going to lose 10kg,” could win the award for the most commonly said statement that never comes true. We have never been more confused about what we should and shoul

      Preface

      Since I have impaired vision from the radiation treatment, I can no longer drive, so work is extremely limited. However, I still want to provide for my family, so I thought I'd write this book to not only help my family but perhaps help yours too.

      Looking back at my childhood, I believed all foods were good for you, or at least wouldn't hurt you. I thought, why would they sell unhealthy food, and why would we buy them? Especially if they could make us sick or worse. As I became older, I realized it's not entirely about the consumers' health but profits in the food industry and investors on Wall Street too.

      I became convinced that it was my responsibility to eat the proper food, and so my journey began. It wasn't until my grandchildren asked, Poppy, how do you know what foods are good for you?

      Then it dawned on me, and I answered, If God made it, then it's good for you. If man made it, it's probably not. That discussion led to a quiz. I asked the children if an apple was healthy.

      They all thought and answered proudly, Yes, Poppy, an apple is good for you, because God made it.

      I then asked if oranges, bananas, and vegetables were healthy.

      They were all proud to answer, saying, Since God made them, then they're good for you.

      It wasn't until I asked about the Cheetos they were eating that they became concerned. They answered with a hopeful glee, Good for you! Did you know Cheetos are identified as an unhealthy snack? I didn't either.

      However, after learning about hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals used on our food and in our soil, I am no longer sure that God's food is still healthy since they've either been modified or
