For
the most part we know that the SAD (Standard American Diet) has its
shortcomings. It is a diet comprised of eating anything that had a face and a
mother, processed foods full of cancer causing additives, MSG and its euphemisms,
and now Monsanto’s neotame, which is way worse than aspartame, and GMOs, all
not requiring labeling.
So,
for processed foods we have the option of reading labels. We know if soy, corn,
and cotton products do not say they are organic or non-GMO there is a 95%
chance of them being genetically modified. Organic canola is a complete farce
since it is impossible to make an industrial solvent organic.
But
what about the foods that there is neither labeling on nor any indication what
those with a face and a mother were fed?
Let’s
start with a cow. A cow is naturally a vegetarian. Yet, to save money, the cow
is fed the dead, dying, diseased and decayed flesh of the other animals that
cannot be sold, as well as road kill.
What
do you think happens to a vegetarian cow that is forced to consume flesh? Hello
mad cow disease!
Did
you know that 80% of the meat eaten in America comes from animals that are fed
medicated feed for all or most of their lives?
Since
the nature of a dead body is to rot, did you ever wonder why when you walk into
a supermarket you are not bowled over by the stench or the flesh foods are not
grey or green instead of being rosy red?
It’s
because they are pumped so full of chemicals to preserve, to color, to
“texture” and to give it a taste that won’t make you throw-up.
Because
the stockyards are so filthy and over-crowded, antibiotics are routinely given
to the cows to protect them from the rampant diseases therein.
And
I’ll bet you didn’t know that because the feed grain is so religiously pre-doctored
with antibiotics, that if a farmer wants it without the additives he has to
special order it a much higher price.
What
kinds of chemicals and antibiotics you ask?
Some
of the antibiotics are chlortetracycline, arsanilic acid, phenothiazine,
phthalysulfacetamide, oxytetracycline, dimetridazole,
ethylenediamineedihydriode, terramycin, bacitracin, hygromycin B, neomycin,
aureo 250, streptomycin and sulfonamides.
Then
there are the growth promoters and hormones like diethylstilbestrol,
melengestrol acetate, zaranol, arsenic, progesterone, testosterone propianate,
furazolidone, tylosin phosphate, tri-p-anisolcholerorhtylene and dienestrol
diacetate.
There
are also tranquilizers like promazine, reserpine, and zinc bacitracin. And let’s
not forget the post-mortem additives like sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite,
sodium sulphite and sodium nicotinate.
May
I ask a serious question: if you cannot pronounce most of the above, why in the
world would you eat them?
To
really put into perspective why all these destructive chemicals to YOUR health
are added to the flesh you eat, you have to understand that the so-called farm
is nothing more than a moneymaking, food production, whorehouse.
What
happens before these creatures are slaughtered is inhumane and criminal. They
are crowded into feedlots where they are again loaded up with hormones and
tranquilizers so their weight can more than double in a few months to bring in
more money. Lifespan? A year and a half.
Ok,
so now you’re ready to switch to poultry. Think again! These guys are raised in
artificially lighted factories to keep them laying eggs constantly and fed
arsenic to make them grow faster.
The
chickens, before they are “wrapped for selling” are dipped in a bath to cleanse
them. To compensate for that bath containing enormous amounts of pus, peepee
and doodoo the USDA says that if you cannot see the doodoo through the clear
wrap it’s ok to sell it.
Sit
back for a moment, close you eyes and try to picture 10 million chickens
crammed into warehouses where each bird lives in a space the size of a piece of
typing paper. Oh yeah, the turkeys are
so full of this crap that they grow so fast and big that they literally cannot
stand up.
But
don’t worry, the fish, including salmon, are good providers of protein and
omega-3s. Who cares if they come with a supply of PCBs, toxic waste, mercury
and nuclear pollution aka radiation?
Just
when you thought it couldn’t get worse, pesticide contamination of our meat
supply is epidemic. When the animal eats the chemicals guess where it is
stored? In their muscles. Guess what you eat? Their muscles.
We
all know to try to buy as much organic produce as possible to minimize our
pesticide intake. But animals contain as much as fourteen times more pesticides
than fruits, vegetables and grains.
Even
though DDT has been banned, it is virtually in every species of animal life on
the planet. Yet, the PCBs are worse because they are virtually indestructible
and remain in animal and fish tissue longer than DDT.
You
know what you experience when you think you are in danger? Your blood rushes
and your adrenaline escalates.
Animals
are no different. Just before and during the horror of death the animal’s
adrenaline, which is a strong stimulant that raises blood pressure, pours
through its body.
It’s
kind of natural when you know that someone is gonna slit your throat or dive a
stake through your head. What’s not natural is that all those hyper hormones
stay in the body after slaughter and then pass on to you when you eat whatever
part of the corpse.
Normally,
during life, the body is washed by the blood, which carries waste to the liver,
kidneys, and skin to be eliminated. When the heart stops beating the cleansing
process stops and leaves all the toxic waste in the carcass and the wastes are
not eliminated when the animal is bled before chopped into little pieces.
And
yet we wonder why we get cancer, heart disease, arthritis, stroke,
constipation, erectile dysfunction, and suffer from high anxiety.
So,
what are your choices? Roll the dice and hope you can last a few more years
before the bottom falls out, or cut your losses and start to eat as clean and
organic as possible.
If
it had a face or a mother it will be contaminated; dairy products are loaded
with unlabeled antibiotics, growth hormones, and the pus from the cow’s
infected utters; chickens and turkeys cannot stand up due to rapid growth
enhancers that make them weigh more and make them become top heavy to bring in
more bucks; and eggs contain so much more protein than the human body can
tolerate putting enormous stress on the kidneys.
Please
let your intelligence override the tongue’s endless quest for sense
gratification and in time it will get used to the new taste and never want to
go back.
It’s
your call!
Aloha!
