What to eat tonight?
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 06:53 PM by undergroundpanther
The Experts say...Don't eat that, don't eat this, EAT THIS.
Eat this ,don't eat that, IF you want to be thin, attractive and envied.

If you are just another unattractive boring human, eat.Unless of course you are of the class of humans likened to the appendix, the useless eaters than selfish politics and resentful middle class types will advise you to not eat or eat shit until you disappear..

Remember everything you eat today because it's so "healthy" will be found to cause cancer tomorrow. Oh, you think those veggies and fruits are the "real food"? (read SAFE food)
The fruits and veggies are nutrient depleted and sometimes contaminated.So? Just wash it off with anti bacterial veggie soap!!

Hmm, that Potassium hydrate whitewash left on that apple kinda kills the organic mystique doesn't it?

Organic labels mean nothing now that the label has been stripped of meaning. Really it has to everyone who knows how lame the FDA is and that is not organized for protecting the public anymore..

We are all gonna die some sooner than later.It could be cancer a car accident,choking on organic green beans or a suicide.Who can read tomorrow today? I sure can't. I can't predict my own future a half hour from now.

What all this means to me is either (A) science don't know shit about why we get fat . So,is it too much eating, inflammation due to pollution or bad bacteria in the gut or genetics? Or (B)Someone DOES know, or has a clue, but either can't get a grant to prove it, or they don't want to tell us the truth because it would mean they will be ruined and their precious profits would tumble from their hands as an agry mob stormed thier gated community and dragged them out to face a beating they needed long ago but managed to avoid through kellogg brown and roots PR word wizardry..

NOBODY KNOWS but everyone's got a iron clad pet theory.And they'd be more than happy to tell you how to live if you just follow them. Why do we age and lose that enviable look of a nubile 16 year old? What is death anyway? What is life? What is consciousness? Are we getting old because too many cells in our body going apoptosis on us?(Apoptosis is programmed cell suicide)

We are living longer than ever before. Did you know an 80 year old was a remarkable thing in ancient egypt, Ramses lived to be 80 something and he was the only Pharaoh generations of Egyptian plebeians knew they thought for sure he'd live forever. He didn't. We can go see his leathery creepy old bod in the Cairo Museum.Now it's not uncommon to see 80 year olds around.

Sure we live a long time, but what about the QUALITY OF LIFE?
If your quality of life sucks a long life seems more like a curse.
Ramses last days were racked with pain.WonDerFul.

With 1 in 4 people with a case of mental illness in this country,Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people...

Regarding Quality of Life..where do those kind of whopper statistics on the chronic unhappiness in this country leave us? Suicide is the leading cause of death in teens, those with the young healthy nubile bodies , The kind of body older insecure adults will spend big bucks at the plastic surgeon to imitate and look fresher than the sell by date..If it ain't your mom going nuts or your dad or sister or friend than most likely it is YOU facing down depression, schizophrenia or PSTD this year. Never mind the addictions that are in evidence everywhere.


I have come to this conclusion that pursuing happiness ain't the same thing as living in happiness, no more than a packet of condensed soup cooked in the microwave is eating good food.Or that organic means it was raised without chemical contamination.

But also consider that the planet's legendary fertility is used up. Because the modern farmer didn't listen to the lessons of the dust bowl and take care of the topsoil,So maintaining topsoil viability is a losing battle.

All our veggies are basically kept alive with OIL yes OIL. Oil that our corporations and mercenaries right now are razing villages to get.Fertilizing the unfertile land uses up more OIL than all the cars we drive.And the shit of pigs and cows is chock full of chemicals toxins bacteria and mad cow PRIONS in case you never thought of that..

Remember THE "organic" SPINACH with E Coli??

People don't seem to have the interest to pursue boring things that make them feel uncomfortable or anxious. Instead of listening, and getting as pissed off as I am, they say I am too intense,they tell me to lighten up! :banghead:
But you see I can see what no one wants to admit and definitely don't want to dwell on long enough to put the big ugly picture together for themselves ..really.Oh Lighten up my ass.

Yes,the planet is being poisoned by agriculture factory farms industry the military.And nobody wants to lose money or their jobs or their retirement 401k's and Mc.Mansions so nobody does anything to make it stop..Dare to witness the sea lions and pelicans going crazy from toxic algae blooms caused by agriculture runoff and not want to cry?
http://www.dailynexus.com/article.php?a=3190

Those same toxins giving us two headed snakes and inter-sexed trout are permeating the bodies of the fish where that Omega 3 oil you are popping in convenient capsule form comes from.And you wonder why so many babies are born as siamese twins and deformed? Duh'oh!

The stench of gas, scent tainted with rotting vegetable matter under the seabed drifting up as the planet cooks,into New York making some people sick.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/08/nyc.odor/index.html

There is no escaping it,IF you really looked into what damage agriculture and civilization run by sociopath bullies a longstanding kakistoracy ever since the first empire transformed us from tribal groups, has caused us. After that consider the damage the solutions to those other problems caused and add it all up it has ruined the planet and poisoned the land the water. Here I don't mean ONLY the insane factory chicken,pig and cow farms, I mean also the factory fruit and big agri-veggies picked by a immigrant slave you never noticed before bought for around 18 bucks..
http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/kralis/060719


Even the " organic " veggies that are REALLY organic are still grown on a planet choking on toxic chemicals. That broccoli still gets a bit of run off from highways and polluted streams and toxic air that we all are breathing.. It seems civilization as we live it and planets mix together like cancer invading a host.And it seems because of the defense mechanisms in our minds called denial,and our compartmentalizing habit used to make big problems solvable looking so we can stay relatively sane as the world dies,, and the game of make believe that holds us in invisible bars we are convinced must be there and be real ,I can say the madness is terminal.

Eat what doesn't make you sick, for tomorrow it might. Survive the best you can eating whatever you can that does not sicken you.Because there are no saviors but you.And even little old you are not psychic enough to avoid certain contaminations. People eat white bread rats won't.But rats will drink anti freeze. Go figure.

There's no government agency that cares about me or you,we are not the ones in the "club"..

There is no hero on a white horse coming to make it all go away.. literally,http://southerncrossreview.org/47/bushcert.htm
And you wouldn't want one,really.
http://www.unveilingthem.com/SecretCovenant.htm


And if comprehending all of it at the same time threatens to break your mind in two and to crush your heart and to make you depressed, paranoid and furious remember you are not alone.. there are plenty of depressed mad mentally ill people out there who can see it coming they can feel the sickness that we have become, just like you do.And be aware..Of course I know nobody likes a pessimist especially when they are correct.

1. I thawed out a hefty slab of spiral ham that I marinated in brown
sugar and apple juice over Christmas. Mr. Tinfoil is frying up some slices right now and it smells like heaven. It didn't kill us on Christmas day, so I guess we'll take our chances.:)

2. Hey, enjoy it while you can
Because the Earth is dying, We all have let the"leaders and managers" kill her because we wanted an EZ life and convenient too.We hid our eyes and we still hide.. And since we are all conditioned to be ambitious and want to BE SOMEBODY and make the money be a winner ...and so happiness is fleeting now. Have a slice of that ham for me too and enjoy it, really. It sounds tasty too.. I'll probably eat cereal or some mac and cheese and lima beans I don't got much food right now.End of the month ya know.

3. Dahl
Lentils cooked in chicken broth with garlic, onion, carrot, zuchinni and a bit of curry powder. Good for a cold evening.

I'm convinced there is something wrong with everything we eat these days. I just try to minimize the damage.

5. Yep that all any of us can do
But if you try to avoid it all consider the cost..you may end up destroying your quality of life and the quality of life of everyone around you in the futile persuit of the most organic purity in a totally contaminated world.
People who are scared sometimes fall in that absolute purity trap and try to sell it to anyone who'll listen and to me it's all just sad.

4. interesting read
potatoes, rice and lettuce. are about the only clean foods left.
Have learned that fruit is a mold, and most veggies are the same.
so just watch what you eat and how your body reacts, it's really pretty simple, and better than a pill.
