Standard American Diet = S.A.D.
The SAD diet is designed to make us sick WITHOUT killing us right away. Its fine if we die several years down the road, after they've milked our sick asses for all we're worth. When we are bankrupt from our ill health brought on by our diet of fake 'food', then corporate America throws us to the lions and we die a miserable death, bankrupted because we're kicked off our for-profit "health insurance". Once we're bankrupt, we're no longer useful, err profitable to the profit scheme known as the modern American 'healthcare' system.
If I were a sociopathic capitalist, I'd pick pharmaceuticals as my profit method. I'd collude with food giants. We'd work together to unleash GMO's laced with toxic pesticides that also are taken up by the roots of the plants that don't just wash off. You can't wash all of the pesticide residue off of a conventionally grow(non-organic) food. Much of the poison is absorbed into the plant from its surfaces or imbedded via root absorption.
Conventional(non-organic) produce is a maker of sickness.
Opt for non-gmo organic produce. Eat it and feel your health and vitality return. Ask a vegan. They'll confirm these facts.
Moving on..
Meat.
Nearly ALL meat types introduce health and vitality killing parasites into our bodies. Parasites can consume almost all of the nutrition ingested by the infected host. Thus leaving the host in a state of malnutrition while the host thinks they're eating a nutritious diet. Parasites ROB their hosts of their health and vitality.
Most new infectious diseases like MRSA, the disease spreading through some locker rooms and gyms(Tampa Bay Bucs anyone?) is likely a result of factory farms and vaccinating farm animals. Diseases are mutating at an alarming rate and the evidence is pointing toward factory farms as the source of said mutations.
Frankenbeef, the cow itself is an unnatural species. The result of crossbreeding and hybridization. Grain fed beef is marbleized with saturated fat, hormoned, and vaccinated. The perfect unholy trinity for destroying health and vitality.
Pork is laden with parasitic worms and/or their eggs. Cooking does not kill all parasitic eggs. Google pork parasites. Populations that eat pork are populations with high parasitic infection rates.
Fish can also be a major parasitic source. Fish are also laden with the very poisonous mercury. Humans are fishing our oceans to death. Tuna could be an endangered or extinct species by 2020.
Common nutrient deficiencies of a meat-based SAD diet.
Magnesium
Silica
Folate
Potassium
Manganese
80+ trace minerals
As a 100% raw vegan, meaning I don't cook anything, I'm often asked, "B-B-But, where do you get your protein?"
My answer is, "Where the fuck do you think cows get their protein?" From the plants that they eat. Plants are by far the best sources of protein.
I then ask said meat-eater, "Where do you get your magnesium, folate, potassium from with your meat-based SAD diet?" Silence.
The best sources of protein
Spirullina (algae)
Chlorella (algae)
Hemp Seeds
Mung Beans(really, most beans)
Quinoa
Goji berries
Almonds
Cashews
Asparagus
Pumpkin seeds(most seeds, nuts are great protein sources)
Tempeh and other soy products
Trust me, protein is not an issue in raw vegan eating.
Transitioning to vegan really wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The health benefits come quickly. The feeling of vastly improved health and vitality come quickly. The aches and pains disappear. Indigestion, gone. No more acne or other skin ailments. No more high blood pressure. No more high cholesterol.
Mostly, I never have to look an animal in its eyes and watch the life leave its eyes so that I can eat it. I will never harm an animal for food ever again.
I will never harm my body by ingesting an animal product, ever again.
If humans were meant to digest meat, we would've evolved a stomach similar to a wolf's stomach. The stomach of a wolf produces acid that is 7-10 times stronger than a human's stomach acid. Meat requires that type of acidity to properly digest.
Meat is a human gut bacteria destroyer. We need our gut bacteria. It is quite possibly the most important aspect of our digestion. Any digestive ailment can immediately start the process of malnutrition.
Digestive disorders lead to heart disease, coronary plaque, cancer, diabetes, stroke, inflammation-related disorders, auto-immune disorders like arthritis etc, in other words, the diseases that kill most of us.
Treatment of these ailments is a multi-multi billion, perhaps trillion dollar industrial complex. Put a price tag on the cost of the detrimental effects of the SAD diet, the diseases listed above. How much does that cost our country?
So why is vegan so effective?
Re-mineralization. Vegan diets are high in nutrients/minerals that are deficient in the SAD diet.
Detoxification. Organic vegan foods are powerful body cleansers and detoxifiers.
High fiber. The intestinal cleaner.
Antioxidants. See above detox.
Plant phenols, sterols and other super-nutrient plant compounds.
Probiotic. Supports a healthy gut bacteria population.
Prebiotic. Feeds your healthy gut bacteria.
Anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is one of humankinds worst ailments.
Endless energy.
Increased libido.
Weight loss.
Vitality.
Ask a vegan if they are on any prescriptions. Most will say no. I've cured my pre-diabetes and high blood pressure and restored my health and vitality. I am also HIV positive and living very healthy. My immune system #'s are stronger than most non-hivers. I am not on HIV meds but my doc and I closely monitor my immune system.
Don't believe me about the benefits of raw organic vegan? Ask another vegan. They'll tell you many of the same things that I'm saying here.
We no longer need to be slaves to big pharma. 100% Raw Organic Vegan is my middle finger to the corporate big pharma industrial complex, to factory farms, to GMO and pesticide profiteers. The same big pharma/big food/big GMO/big poisoners that have helped destroy our democracy.
Food is politics. We have to make it a front and center issue in mainstream politics. We are what we eat and the SAD diets feeds us poison.
Food is more political than almost any other issue.
