Rise of Healthy Eating

Americans have grown increasingly overweight in the past 50 years as the percentage of Americans overweight has increased over 600% to represent almost 35% of the adult population. Plus the constant stream of reports on the heavy use of pesticides and perservatives and processed foods has spurn an additional amount of concern. These two factors has spurned the popularity of healthy living which dovetails with healthy eating.

Healthy foods has put fruits and vegetables and the overall pyramid group back into vogue. While sales of candies, chocolates, canned goods, and frozen dinners remain significant at over $50 billion in sales, organic foods and other natural products have made a comeback with over 20% growth a year for the past 20 years. It is ironic we are returning to unprocessed non-pesticide foods which was how all of human history up until the start of the 20th century.

Today the spear of healthy living and eating is the organic food industry. With strict regulations and guidelines in the United States, you can be sure to get high quality foods and reasonable prices. The best place to get the widest variety of organic foods is at farmers markets. And the best farmers markets in American are the Redmond Farmers Market. Come join us this week!
