10 Responses to Homesteading (28): Fast food companies and agroconglomerates
It’s worth reading the likes of Colin Campbell, Joel Fuhrman, Dean Ornish,
Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Robert O. Young etc who touch on the subject of the
junk food industry, but focus mainly on restoring health through diet.
Oh, no, it gets worse. It’s not even just Fast Food, it’s ALL food. If it
comes in a box, bag, microwavable insta, the entire food system is wonk.
The only way to get anything close to ‘real’ food is either be rich or grow
it yourself. The poor are having major obesity rates because the cheep
unhealthy food, is PURPOSELY set up to be all they can afford. Have you
seen ‘The Future of Food’ made in 2007? Might wanna check it out if you
haven’t.
A famous Polish monk here said that, if one eats meat, it should be just
fish and, if pushed, white meat. He advised never eating any red meat. He
also said one should stop eating meat after the age of 60 as, under natural
conditions, our teeth would not be able to chew it and at this age it
becomes more of a poison. Like the idea of a Jersey cow – used a drink a
lot of their milk as a kid growing up in the north of England.
@ivankinsman ‘The Future of Food’ is mostly about crops, how companies are
genetically altering and then -patenting- them. Basically, Monopolizing
crop seeds. Honestly, when you really dive into trying to find out about
your food here in America… It’s pretty scary. I don’t mean to sound like
a conspiracy freak, but… When you watch TV and all the commercials, you
can’t help but think somethings up. Like… ‘Hospital making people sick so
it can keep making money off them’ kinda deal? idk
Famously Stupd… this is just ill informed nonsense… I mean this nicly
but really check out the link I mentioned I can share the pdf of 2 books
with you just drop ma a pm. The reasons people are obise, have problems
with teach and many other things have been well studied and documented,
just the mainstream dosn’t want to accept this information, dosn’t make any
money.
I think its worst than even this, as the healthy food we are told is
fruit/veg etc etc… this is WRONG…however saturated fat, organ meat,
blood, non-pasturized 100% hay/grass fed milk hight in fat, perhaps a
Jersey cow is actually what we need. And was discovered and documented in
the 1930’s by Weston A Price (westonAPricedotcom) I’d realy recomend a few
books for you if your interested ? Eat fat Loose fat, no personal offence
ment 🙂
Since they sent all our manufacturing jobs over seas… fast food is all we
have left. They would have sent that over seas too but they can’t figure
out how to keep the fries warm on the ocean freighter that long… lol.

Food Inc is amazing. A real eye opener, and heart breaker at times. If
you’re keen on torrents you can find it pretty quick
