Super Food
If, like I am, you are any kind of food lover, you will think of a phrase like super food and will have your own associations. When I hear or see super food, I think of pizza, juicy burgers on steamed buns, triple-dip, psycho rich chocolate mousse tortes, hearty stews and homemade spaghetti sauces packed with al dente veggies and meats. Super food to me is food that you indulge in when you have the munchies or food that in a way gives you the munchies…as you cannot stop eating it once you start.
But I suppose my version, my philosophy, and my interpretation are all telling here, as antithetical to what the Super Food line consists of and represents. That is, the Super Food line is not fast food or junk food or even gourmet. The Super Food line is a series of healthy, vitamin- and mineral-rich food sources for the health-conscious (and healthy).
One seller of Super Foods, online at EBay under the vendor name mlhbabe1, for instance, describes the benefits of such foodstuffs and food supplements as the Green Super Food Powdered Drink Mix as containing “forty-nine (49) superfoods, extracts, and concentrates.” Included in this drink with the potential of ten (10) servings of fruits and vegetables, for example, are “probiotics, antioxidants, soluble and insoluble fibers, herbs & spices, flavonoids, plant enzymes, and lecithin.” These super food ingredients are, she writes, ideal for increasing energy, raising metabolism, and burning fat, and as well assist in digestion, detoxification, immunity, repair, recovery, rejuvenation, and add to one’s longevity.
I am in no way affiliated to the above vendor, and am writing this not to help hawk trumped-up nutritional items for any particular company. Instead, I write to gain a better understanding of Super Foods in general and personal health choices in particular. I am new to the Super Foods product, though I do remember years ago educating myself on and practicing healthy living by eating well and exercising often. I shopped at a health foods store, was into whole grains and non-white, non-processed flours and sugars (which were once and are now again my addiction, my nemesis), and power-walked every day. I also had more time, or made more time, to focus on myself and my body. The Super Food concept may not be new, that is, but as a newer product line, provided it does not taste, look, or contain ingredients similar to Soylent Green, Super Food seems to be an effective and appealing way to go.
