Whether you 'choose ' one way to eat or another , it's like this .
The human body is extremely complex .
We/they ( whoever 'they ' are ) can only really best guess what's going on in there.
You might 'feel ' better 'choosing' to eat leaves . If you feel better then I'm happy for you . There's some value in feeling good .
But youre obviously clouded by emotions .
Fueling the body shouldnt be emotive .
I feel good just having a fairly balanced diet .
I eat meat . Sometimes red , sometimes light . Some fish . Some veg . Some fruit .
I dont drink alcohol .
I dont drink milk . ( Although lately I'm slipping up on that a bit )
I do drink coffee . probably too much .
But I also am partial to herbal 'tea ' .
I drink lots of water .
I feel OK .
I'm 41 .
i work in construction . The sharp end . I do OK .
What's the problem ?
Rather than obsessing over being , say , herbivore , or carnivore , or omnivore , we should take more time to get connected with what we eat .The quality of it .
I did say above , I think , that meat was vital in our development . Animal fat was what saw us through harsh winters .
You can argue that these days that's irrelevant , maybe it is , but today I'm certain that all our foods are tainted by capitalist agenda.
meat is intensively farmed . Pumped with steroids / anti biotics etc .
Milk , a handy bi-product is similarly processed . Dairy products find their way into a myriad products .
Plant crops are farmed with equal zeal to maximise profit. They dont tell us everything that they GM .
Do you really think a product , sold at Tescoburys , with a little green ' V' on the packet , Low fat this , Low salt the other , is really a healthy 'choice ' to make .
We all need to get used to it though . Dont we ?
Organic food is all well and good . Before it was 'invented ' as a clever ' choice ' that was how all ordinary food was , wasnt it ?
You know ? A bit back ? My grandparents had a pen out the back . Rabbits , chickens , greens .
So it's simple .
We'll all of us go organic , eh ?
organic meat is fantastically good for you . have you tasted organic chicken ? Lovely . Dont confuse taste or satisfaction with nutrition though . That's something else .
Nutritionally organic vs non organic is neither here nor there.
Not your thing , eh ?
Ok , Organic broccoli . Carrot . Potato .
We can do it all old school . It's easy .
Yummy as . Just stick it in the ground with some shit. There's ground all over the place . There's some just there . i can see it .
It grows itself , by magic.
WE could all of us support our local farmers and producers too .
make a low mileage trip to the farmshop every week . It might cost a bit more , in money , but the value to society would be great .
He grows his spuds/carrots / asparagus in one field , and grazes cow and sheep in the next .No chemicals or owt .
If we all did it , or just a few more of us did it , the big money supermarkets would have to react . They would typically be aggressive . We'd have to , er dig - in.
Dig for victory .
of course , there'd be no oranges . Oranges arent the only fruit , someone once said . We could be happy with apples and pears , eh ? When theyre seasonal of course . Strawbs would be nice . For about a month .
I'd miss bananas , even if just for their comedy value .
You can have a fair bit of fun with a cucumber , though . Can you grow them over here ?
Is that the answer ?
Please discuss . I'm enjoying this .
Do we have nuts over here ?
