I read this recently and it seems relevant to the discussion. Whether or not it will give you sufficient pause to reevaluate your previous conclusion remains to be seen.
Cum hoc ergo propter hoc and all that. |
The debate is this: our society has a skewed vision of what "food" is. American's view it as something that we shove in our mouth and don't really think deeper than that. Food that is dead, food that is injected with chemicals and preservatives rather than eating freshly grown meals to sustain our
living bodies. I am sure this is a deeper topic that what BMW owner's would like to think about but nevertheless there is a thread on it. lol
Look at the difference in France and America. French are very healthy, eat better foods, don't eat as much. When you eat junk food you eat more calories to make you feel full. When you eat healthy foods with lots of packed vitamins and nutrients you don't eat as much and your body has more energy. When you eat more living foods such as vegetables, fruits, algae, etc. your body can process those better than synthetically enhanced foods. French people eat a lot slower than America's as well which aids in digestion.
To me health is very important. Your body is what carries you around so I want to put premium fuel in my body not some 87 crap that will kill my high performance engine. Your body is a living organism and therefore you need to put living foods in your body. Commercialism has money on the brain and therefore does not care about your body just the bottom dollar so YOU have to do the research and decide whats best for you. God did not design your body to take in chemicals even if they are trace amounts. Trust me on this one! If you want proof look at all the large ugly bodies people produce when not taking care of their health and diet. Proof is in the pudding they say.
If you are aware, notice when you eat foods that are bad for you your body will actually throw up a little in your mouth which is your body rejecting that food. But most people don't listen to their bodies and are so "disconnected". But that is a story for another day.
