This is a presentation I did for BNI. It's main focus is to demonstrate how our diets are killing us slowly and the complicity of the companies that market food-like products. Not all the slides have commentary and some may seem strange since they were placed in the presentation with the idea that I would talk about them. I think, though, that you will get the idea.

5. Why is Diet Improvement So
Necessary???
 U.S. health and health care
consistently rates at the very bottom
when compared to other industrial
countries and even against some so-
called 3rd
-world countries.
 Deaths from chronic health issues are
accelerating at a furious pace and in
the U.S. dwarf deaths from infectious
diseases.

diagnosed with diabetes by 2050

7. The Problem is . . .
1. Our food choices are killing us and
ruining the financial future of our kids.
2. Our food choices are causing an ever
increasing burden on a health care
system that is not equipped to handle
the problems.
3. The newest generation of Americans is
predicted to have a shorter average
lifespan than the one before it.
4. We’re being drawn down this path by a
mix of MYTH AND MARKETING and lies.

13. How Much Sugar You Ask?????
 USDA estimates adult Americans consume 150
lbs of sugar/sweeteners per year
 This translates into:
 17,010 teaspoons of sugar per year
 327 teaspoons of sugar per week
 47 teaspoons of sugar per day
 This does not take into account fruit sugar
 The body only wants 2-3 teaspoons of sugar in
the bloodstream at all times.
