First we had a fantastic dinner! Broiled Sockeye Salmon with a red wine reduction sauce. A Shallot, Crimini, dried cranberry (rehydrated) rolled oat and wild rice side dish, finished with crushed raw walnuts and a little cold pressed walnut oil. And a salad of Campari tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, spring mix, Extra virgin olive oil , vinegar, etc...etc...etc...
I think that what I am getting at, as the
Fuck these assholes telling you that you can't eat pizza! or eat steak. You can, You just have to do your homework and just do it in moderation, and here comes the fly in the ointment; Your probably going to have to make it yourself. One hundred years ago, the majority of people were not fat, today they are. A small percentage may be because we are eating more food, but the overwhelming evidence is that it is not how much we eat, but WHAT we eat. I can hear you now; "What the fuck happened to bald bill? He seemed to be a normal (in context) guy but now he seems to have become a tree hugging, green living, Eco-Nazi. Trust me, I'M NOT! It is just that after reading a shit load of material; And being a skeptic at heart, questioning everything, I'm learning how bad most of what we eat is!
The next paragraph I vetted, as well as I could. If you doubt it, vet it for yourself.
Think of America as a whole, east coast, north east, mid-west, south, north west, south west, north west and south west. Take all 300,000,000 of us. What do you think is the number one source of the total daily caloric intake of Americans is? Fried food? Nope. Fast food? Nope. The answer is SODA. If you do nothing else, stop drinking soda!
Have you heard about Genetically modified foods? Some of them are great! They (Bill Gates) are developing a strand of rice that will deliver as much beta carotene as a carrot. That will be great for the people of Africa. The benefits clearly outweigh the detriments. Google it, you will get it.
How about what we are doing here in the good old US of A? 85% of all the corn we grow is genetically modified. 91 to 93% of all US grown soybeans are genetically modified. What does that mean to us?
Most of the soy we grow in this country is GM (genetically modified; 91 to 93%) They call it "Round-up Ready" What does that mean? It means that the crop has been modified so that after it ha taken root and begins to grow... it is sprayed with "Round-up" (Round-up is a very effective herbicide. It is our big box version of agent orange) which kills all plants, however the soy lives on. Great, The weeds were killed, but what about the soy which we eat? Well thanks to our modifications, the plant that lived and will now pass along all of the toxins found in Round-up, yum. The people selling us food, could give a shit! They are just concerned with the bottom line. We need to learn to select good natural foods.
Who the Fuck would want to eat a plant that survived being sprayed with round-up?
Look at it this way; would you willingly squirt two shots of Round-up into your mouth?
Buy organic foods from local farmers as often as possible! Ween yourself off soda; 21% of all the sugar Americans consume is from soda.
That's it for tonight.
Eat well, live well. Thanks for reading.
