Mostly Plants…
So, after reading numerous Pollen books, as well as “Real Food” by Nina Planck… It’s obvious that food choices need to be evaluated and scrutinized to a new degree- above and beyond your calorie count, carb intake, and sodium index.
The problem with the bulk of food in America is that, well, we eat shit. We consume, essentially, byproducts of genetically engineered and modified crops with just about anything thats easily accessible to eat. There isn’t any real way around it, unfortunately. The markets are flooded with this drek. It’s done in such mass right now, you have to really, really try hard to avoid it when you can- if you choose to that is.
I won’t go into the reasons I try to avoid mass produced byproduct crafts foodstuffs; but let it be known there are many correlations to the way our government feeds us in America, and the increasing health diseases that practically didn’t exist before these practices went into play. All that aside…
Real food simply tastes better. Plain and simple. I can taste that I’m eating shitty food when I do, and I can taste when I’m eating good food.
This brings us to food and diet, dosent it?
Protein, vegetation, and starch. That’s what should be on your plate, yes?
Increasingly more and more after I read and research how my staple proteins get to me, I simply don’t want them. The way cattle, chicken, and most commonly available meats are raised and mass produced, the way they are fed, what they are fed… all of these things just make me not want to eat it anymore.
I take pride in procuring nothing but the freshest, quality vegetation I can find for my consumption, as well as trying to make as much of the food I consume by hand, rather than with premade drek. This isn’t just a point of pride, this is seemigly evolving into a lifestyle decision.
After living life this for the past few years and having the knowledge I now have on meats and how they are raised and brought to me- I simply do not have a desire for them to be a staple. Don’t get me wrong- I love me some dead animal flesh- but now I am seemingly evolving into a form of “Meat Snob” where I’m limiting my consumption based upon the meats origins and methods of production. I don’t want to purchase meats from the supermarket anymore. I don’t want to consume the mass produced shit being fed to me.
I’ve been straying away more and more from the beef and chicken options available to me, opting for vegetables or something else, something real. Look, I know I’ll be eating a burger again sometime and some chicken in one way or another… and thats fine. I’m just trying to not consume as much as I usually do, I no longer want it to be a “staple”.
Thinking about this makes me want to go to Marlow&Daughters and buy out the shop.
With this recent decision, it would seem in the same step, I’ve become a bigger fan of vegetables than I even once previously were. I mean, if I’m looking for natural and real food, vegetables are truly the way to go. Regardless of vast pesticides being used on industrial crops and genetically modified vegetation, for the most part, what I’m consuming is still grown via sunlight. I haven’t seen the suns rays tainted yet by technology or man yet, so, I’m game.
I don’t think I could ever be a vegetarian… I mean, they don’t eat bacon, right?
Regardless, I think the decision to bring vegetation and plants to a higher level should be looked at and examined by anyone who wants to be truly healthy- its that simple. Also, let’s not forget, plants can be damn tasty too…
