We are living in a homogonized, pasteurized, antibacterial world, and we as a nation are fatter and sicker than ever. We pump our meat full of hormones and antibiotics, we process the vitamins right out of our foods and then add the vitamins back into them. How many chemicals do you think you consumed today between pesticides in your foods and all the additives that you couldn’t pronounce on the label? Do you remember hearing of salmonella and e-coli outbreaks 10 or 20 years ago, much less people dying from them? These days you can’t order a medium rare hamburger or an over easy egg because the restaurants are so afraid that you’ll get sick and sue them.
We have made our houses airtight, we use antibacterial soaps but now we have killer staph and the threat of super bugs immune to antibiotics. Are you sick? Go ahead, bug your doctor for an antibiotic whether it’s viral or bacterial. Chances are they’ll give it to you just to shut you up. Have the flu? Take tylenol to knock down the fever and cough medicine to keep you from coughing. Nevermind that a fever is your body’s way of killing the germs by cranking up your body heat and that cough is helping you expel the crap in your chest. No wonder we’re sick all the time, we don’t let our bodies do their jobs and actually get rid of the viruses, we just knock down the symptoms and go on.
Recently my mother’s cat developed diabetes, yeah, sure that’s a normal cat disease. Know why it’s actually becoming common? Cats are carnivores, they don’t have the enzymes necessary to digest vegetable matter. What goes into dry cat food, vegetable matter…they add chemicals so that the cats can digest the carbohydrates that we put in their food.
Does any of this make sense to you?
