Living without fear of additives. Because I don't want to make the world the villain

Since having children, my interest in food has increased significantly. The food we eat daily. Food builds our bodies. It was because I felt the importance of this that I went into a state of high alert, thinking, 'I must protect my children.' Ironically, this ended up making me feel suffocated.

When buying food, I would turn it over and check the label. This became a routine. But no matter how much I looked at the labels, the anxiety didn't disappear. If anything, my worries increased.

“There is almost no food that is truly safe.”

I realized this keenly.

The more I looked, the more my anxiety grew.

Perhaps some of you have had that experience as well.

Snacks for the children. I don't want to let them eat much of what is sold in stores. But I don't have the energy to make everything from scratch. Sugar is bad, too. But fruit has pesticides...

I reluctantly serve store-bought snacks. If I could make everything from scratch, would I not worry so much? And then I blame myself. That continues.

I was always carrying guilt somewhere.

That was just painful.

I can't do everything perfectly.

And I realized that a structure like food = evil does not lead to gratitude for food.

What do I want to convey to my children?

Is it, 'The world is a terrifying place, so protect yourself'?

No, something is wrong.

What I want to convey is that the world is simply wonderful. That life shines. That I, too, have a warm and precious life. That this world is made up of lives connected to one another.

That we live by receiving life from food.
A feeling of gratitude for various things.

It's not that food is bad, the people who make it are bad, or society is bad. That's not what I want to convey.

I don't want to use knowledge as a tool to blame anyone.

It is better to avoid things that are bad for your body as much as possible. But sometimes, consuming them is unavoidable. Don't blame yourself or others just because you ate them.

Don't make food the villain.

The same goes for the people who make it for us. Because they are there, we can eat delicious food. They aren't putting bad things in with malicious intent.

Don't blame someone else and run away.

The current situation is simply the result of us choosing things we feel are cheap, convenient, and delicious.

Companies are just making what we hope for.

That is why I want to be confident in my choices.
So that I can say it proudly to my children.
To protect the future of my children.

We can change the future with our choices and actions.

What can I do for the future?

I used to be someone who lived with anxiety about additives and various things around me.

But I have stopped being vaguely afraid.

Clarify your anxieties and decide on your own range of tolerance.

To do that, you must keep learning.
And keep putting it into practice.
Show that example to your children.

That is all I can do.

Wisely, beautifully,
decide for yourself, and walk on your own two feet.

I want to walk a beautiful path.
