An Ambitious Nonprofit and its Vision for America's Food Industry

March 30, 2015 - PRLog -- In today’s modern world there’s no shortage of options when it comes to food choices. The problem is, the food that many average people consume on a daily basis is anything but healthy. This has caused, and continues to cause, extreme health pandemics on an enormous scale and as a result created a crisis that needs to be solved and addressed to the masses immediately.

Creating a more transparent food industry and improving people’s eating and lifestyle habits is an undertaking that simply can’t happen overnight. It will be a lengthy ongoing process which will require plenty of action and support. That’s why Lisa Rayburn founded the Détente Foundation (http://www.detenteconsulting.com/), a registered 501(c)(3) organization that aims to provide the education and resources needed to create a healthier and more food conscious society.

The Détente Foundation launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo today and needs your support not only to spread the word about the organization but to obtain funds to help them represent people from all around the world (people just like you and I) by working to create a more transparent food industry. Part of their mission is to approach major food distribution and supply companies and encourage them to apply more conscious business practices.

A lot of people think they’re eating healthy when in fact they aren’t. Also, as society continuously becomes more fast paced many people are so busy that when it comes to paying attention to, let alone understanding, the real nutritional value (or lack of) in what they’re consuming is not exactly on the top of the priority list.

When you really stop to pay close attention though the numbers are beyond frightening, so frightening in fact that they simply can’t be ignored by society any longer. Did you know for instance that 33% of individuals today are considered to be clinically obese? Or that it’s estimated that 75% of healthcare expenses are directly linked to poor eating habits and unhealthy food consumption?

Lisa Rayburn also quotes:

One in five children and 24 million Americans are afflicted by type 2 diabetes and another 79 million people are diagnosed with pre-diabetes.

It may seem like an overwhelming and next to impossible challenge but it’s not too late to turn things around and make a positive difference. Supporting organizations such as the Détente Foundation is most definitely a giant leap in the right direction. Please check out their Indiegogo campaign to learn more and show your support today! Together we can all play a part in helping to create a much better and healthier world!
