CAUTION: THIS WILL
OFFEND.
I am not a medical doctor or dietitian; honestly, I really
don’t have much use for either. The info
below is from years of research and personal experience. So how you use the information is your
responsibility, not mine. We live in a
society that always wants to blame everyone else for their mistakes. Do your own research, and make your own
choices, good or bad. Take responsibility.
The title is a little loaded, but they all intersect. Recently on Facebook, a young lady was banned
for telling the truth about obesity, because FB called it hate speech (a little
politics for you). All she did was tell
the truth of the consequences of obesity and how, as a society, we shouldn’t ignore the epidemic. Warning: she was much nicer than I will be, and much
more eloquent.
Let’s start with a few facts, not my opinion, facts! As a nation, we are a bunch of lardasses! 80% of Americans are overweight, over 35% are
obese. 12% of the population has heart disease,
10% has diabetes... that is just a start.
If you want to look for more data, checkout the CDC website. The truth is we are extremely sick! We eat and drink excessively, and then wonder
why our rate of disease increases every year. FACT:
This is all preventable! We make
the choice to be sick. I can hear you
already, whining and moaning. Whine all
you want, but it is our fault. You will
notice I do include myself in this, I have done many of the things I will be
ranting about. I realize that my choices
decide my health, so don’t think I am judging or condemning. I’m letting you know what the problem is and
how to fix it. I, too, am a work in
progress. I stumble regularly.
More facts: over 4
billion prescriptions were written in 2011, which is over 12 prescriptions per
person! Over $300 billion a year is
spent on prescription drugs. Over
750,000 people die each year from conventional medical mistakes, and over
100,000 of those are from prescription drugs. Sickness is big business! No, I don’t hate the drug companies, because we
decide to take these drugs. Your doctor
plays a major role in the drug game as well.
Most people blindly follow doctors’ instructions without question. If that is you, you’re an idiot!
GOD
How does God want us to eat?
Good question. This could be
debated for hours, so I will be brief. And God said, Behold, I have given you every
plant yielding seed that is on the face of the earth, and every tree with seed
in its fruit. You shall have them for
food. (Genesis 1:29) This is the
bottom line for me. This was God’s
original plan; this was Eden, paradise. We,
of course, screwed that up and continue to be disobedient to God. Our defiance to his Word is why we are in the
mess we are in today (not just nutritionally, but that is for another time). Do you
not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will
destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) This tells me that I am suppose to take care
of my body, respect and love it; not destroy it with drugs and chemicals. If it comes in a box, it has chemicals in
it! If you eat fast food, or any restaurant
food for that matter, you are filling your body with drugs and chemicals. Do I eat at restaurants? Occasionally, but I do it knowing there is NO
nutritional value. It is usually social
and very rarely. We were designed to eat
fruits and veggies; people will always debate this, and that’s ok. If you do eat meat, make sure it is organic
and drug free. If you think God meant
for us to live in poor health, you need to reread your bible. Disease and sickness aren’t of God; they are
of man. We have created this land of fat and sick, not God! Just because we can do it doesn’t mean we
should! We have corrupted God’s plan for
us, and most people conform to it, believers and deniers alike. We have taken a paradise, nutrient rich food
source created by God and destroyed it by adding, mutating, and infecting it
with everything from hormones to disease… all in the name of conformity. Just because the FDA says it, doesn’t make it
so; they have an agenda! I close this
subject with this: Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to
present your bodies as a sacrifice – alive, holy and pleasing to God – which is
your reasonable service. Do not be conformed to this present world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what
is the will of God – what is good and well pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:1-2)
Government
Over the last 100 years, the government has tried to tell us
how to eat. None of it has ever been
based on science or nutrition. The food
pyramid was to promote the grain and cattle industry. Don’t get me wrong, as I’m all for supporting
our farmers; but don’t lie to me about the benefits of food that can actually
kill me. Dr. Max Grerson testified
before Congress in the early 1900s on the benefits of nutrition and the ability
to cure cancer holistically. The medical
and pharmaceutical community proved too
powerful of an opponent for a doctor who could literally put them out of
business, so his testimony was buried, and very few heard it.
Now we have the government in NYC telling you how much soda you
can buy, how much salt a business owner can use, while smoking is practically outlawed. This is all because we are apparently too
stupid to decide for ourselves. Since I’m
in the health and wellness business, it seems like I would be happy about
this. Well nothing could be further from
the truth! We don’t need the government
to take care of us; that’s our responsibility!! Government controls the school
menu, and the before and after school menu, so they try and tell us how to feed
our kids. Of course, we are too stupid to take care of our
kids. Some people like this intrusion, but
I do not!! The schools try to force milk
on our kids, which is one of the worst things a kid can put into his body. People can debate this, but it is my decision
for my child! The only government law
needed is for us to know everything that is in our food. Which for some reason very few people in
government and business want to happen.
If we know what’s in it, bad or good, it is our decision to eat it. I
don’t want anyone to be put out of business because of restrictions; let the
free market decide. I love a McDonalds fries and coke after a 20 or 30 mile run,
and I wouldn’t like it if they went out of business.
Now the Affordable Care Act is the law, and this will give
the government more ammo to tell us how to eat and drink. Because if they are paying for it, they want
to control it. Now keep in mind when I
say “they,” I mean us as tax payers, but that is never brought into the governments
equation. The government also wants to
control our money, but that is also for another day. The governments so-called experts don’t know
dick about nutrition!! They care about
their agenda: control!! If you think putting calories and fat on a
menu will keep the average person from buying a burger, you’re as stupid as the
government believes you are. It has
nothing to do with caring about our health and wellness, it is all about controlling
the sheep!! We pour billions of dollars into research
every year, research into every disease imaginable, but have we cured anything
in the last 100 years? NO!! There are “better” drugs to keep us around
longer, to buy more drugs. No cure! The
answer to all disease is nutrition! 99%
of the disease is brought about by lifestyle, environment and culture. All of which we have control over, which
takes us to the next part.
Personal Responsibility
Have a nice day
Choose to Succeed!
