Yuri Elkaim Packaged food isn’t food.
Sugar isn’t food.
Cake isn’t food.
Frosting isn’t food.
Pancakes, french toast, and waffles aren’t food.
So many of the traditional "foods" …aren’t food.
Food is the stuff that grows on the earth.
Food is fruit and vegetable, preferably raw. Eaten and enjoyed in abundance.
Start your days with a Green Smoothie to ensure you’re getting tons of raw, absorbable nutrients first thing in the morning. Then skip the stuff that isn’t food and enjoy the stuff that is real food as often as you like.
