Food Less Traveled

While arduous and often fraught with shortcomings, this system proved inherently sound and provided the essential building blocks for our health, commerce, and society. But after WWII, convenience food began to make inroads into our daily diet to the point we are today, where quick and easy food is now considered normal. But the tradeoff of ease versus traditional comes with an increasing pandora's box of unwanted health-related long-term effects. Our convenience food is full of additives for extended shelf life, high fat and sodium, processing strips nutrients, and high-calorie foods that are relentlessly marketed as simply rewarding or perhaps fun.
