To process or not to process, that is the question.

There is an episode of "Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t!" called "Eat This" that talks about how we should be thankful for the abundance of food that we have and who cares if it is not how it was processed.  I'm drastically summarizing of course but that was part of their argument.  

I will say that they had some very good points to their argument.  Starvation is a horrible thing and we should be thankful that we live in a time where we have an abundance of food.  That's true, we should be thankful, but at what cost.  The more food we process the farther away we get from foods our bodies were designed to process.  We can clearly see this in our everyday society, as we get a greater selection of foods that are canned, packaged, microwaveable, freeze-dried and preserved we see and increase in obesity, diabetes, heart decease, the list goes on and on.  We need to get back to the basics.  We need to eat the way our bodies were designed.
