I have to be inspired to write. Most of the things that inspire me are a little too hot for your average blog post. For the most part I try to limit my rants - this is an exception. You've been warned.
What the fuck is wrong with us? American's get mad about tax increases, budget cuts, pro-choice, right to bear arms, freedom of speech, and every other blessed thing under the sun except the FACT that the government and big food companies are
This is no secret. It is well researched, well documented, and well published by every school from Stanford to Harvard and every organization in between. So, what’s the deal people? I am more than a little dumbfounded that no one seems to care. I want picketers outside of Von’s and people burning their kid’s breakfast cereal in town centers. I want public outcry at the “high-fructose corn syrup is good for you commercials.”
Look around. We are a nation of sick people. Obesity, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, allergies, ADHD, and autism have all dramatically increased in the last 30 years. You should be wondering, “Hmmm…that’s weird. Why is that happening?” Why are you not wondering that? Why the hell are you not wondering that?
The explanation is both incredibly complicated and shockingly simple.
Pay attention.
It is happening because people are eating a lot of something we are told is food, but it’s not actually food. Our bodies don’t know what to do with the shit that is being ingested. When a body does not know what to do with what’s coming in, things go wrong. Lots of things go wrong. Our bodies have evolved on food that comes out of the ground and from nature (plants, animals, fish, dairy, eggs, and so on). Our bodies recognize these things as food and know what to do with them. Your body has no idea WTF to do with a cheese puff, people.
Sadly, it is all profit driven. There is a lot of money in fake food. Big food companies fund “research” to dissect an orange and determine why it is healthy for our bodies. “Research” concludes that vitamin C is what is healthy in an orange (completely ignoring the hundred other parts of the orange and how they may contribute to why the fruit is healthy). “Research” is published by “highly reliable” sources on the internet. Everything from Tampons to Cheerios is labeled with “contains 100% of your daily vitamin C” and the companies make back their investment in 37 minutes after the product hits the shelves.
We are being screwed with folks.
The good news is that because it's all profit driven, we actually do have all the control over it. We just need to claim it. Stop buying it. It’s making you sick. Do not show up at the doctor and complain of indigestion, heartburn, constipation, exhaustion, screwed up thyroid, weight that won’t come off, feeling exhausted, headaches and a million other things until you take the
Here’s the solution. Stop buying imitation food. Buy food your great-grandparents ate. Eat whole food, from the earth, preferably locally grown and you cannot go wrong. I promise that it is not as hard as it sounds. It is a lifestyle change. The kids will complain for a few weeks, but you will see a plethora of positive changes that will reinforce your decision, and you will never go back.
You have my word.
If you want help, I’ll even find someone in your area that can help you.
Yes, seriously.
