You are absolutely right. We are such a nation of convenience that it has made us lazy as fawk. The human body is designed/evolved to walk around 20 miles a day, but that shit aint happening. Until we as a nation decide to stop being lazy with our diets, exercise, and mentality, Big Pharm will continue to own us and make a fortune.
Well, we can debate wether we are becoming more sick, but its fact that we are slowly becoming hermaphrodites, and there is strong connection with food. Hormone levels plummeted, nowdays men have less than 50% of testosterone levels compared to men before "industrial" revolution.
I wish--that and the lions vs the bears and i'd be all set
I've never been one for the whole organic craze, and usually its a bunch of fu king numb nuts on that end, but this thread has really got me thinking.
I hear ya. Usually it's the tree huggin, granola eatin hippie types that puts people off of the whole topic. But it shouldn't be! Everyone should know what is going on and in their food. If everyone was conscious of this, it would be way less of an issue then it has to be.
I dated a chick a few years back who stopped eating chicken because it causes cancer, according to some "China Study" book she read, but smoked a pack a day. Her whole family was organic freeks, but the type that still ate crap food, but just organically.
That's what turns me off to it. Most people who stand for the argument usually just tell me "organic food taste better" or "pesticides, pesticides, pesticides."
My thing is; I eat pretty damn clean. Lots of single ingredient foods. Am I really doing myself a disservice if my mixed nuts or Greek yogurt isn't organic?
I'd love to switch my meat over to grass fed free range, but that isn't an affordable option for me.
Eating clean > eating organic. Ideally both though, I know.
