Ah there! One more article on food additives. This one outlines how aspartame, an artificial sweetener, widely used in all the foods we eat, is a deadly poison.
Isn't it depressing, reading all this?
Actually no. Who said aspartame is poisonous? It is FDA approved!, you think.
We insist on consuming chemicals. In what way is aspartame, a toxic mix of chemicals, food?
But it is FDA approved, right? All that FDA approval means is that the stuff will kill you slowly.
This is just one food "additive". Our processed and packaged foods contain thousands of additives. In varied combinations.
"Processed and packaged food" includes table salt, white sugar, and refined oils. And ready to eat foods. Maggi. Biscuits. Ready to eat ( add only hot water) kind of meals.
No corporation cares for us. No government does either. No regulator gives a damn. To all of them, we are "consumers", lab rats meant to consume their poisons in order to fatten their wallets.
The food industry makes us sick, in body and mind, chronically, perpetually sick. And the Pharma industry stands ready to feed us more poisons that will make us sicker.
The doctors, dieticians, nutritionists ( always add a prefix "so called" when you talk about them) further compound the problem. They are a product of the same system, and whatever they learn is guaranteed to further the interests of the chemical, food, and Pharma companies. The system ensures that.
All this is scientifically approved, you say. What science? The reductionist Western science is of no use when it comes to food and health. It is that same science that says that salt is sodium chloride, just a mixture of two elements forming a molecule. But it is, you say! What else is it if it is not sodium chloride! Ok, do one thing, have one box of sodium and one canister of chlorine in your kitchen. Just add both to all your food. You will be fine, trust me, it is scientific.
But there's a ton of information out there. It's very confusing. What should I do, you ask.
Well, for starters ignore what the system tells you. Listen to your common sense, and your grandmother. Unless your grandmother happens to be "educated" of course, in which case , don't listen to her.
And follow a few golden rules. Like this one:
Today's golden rule:
*Buy only things that grow. (Biscuits don't grow, and neither does Maggi). And cook them yourself, in your own kitchen.*
Did I hear you screaming at that nightmarish suggestion? And, to de-stress, reaching for the phone to order pizza and diet Coke? Since you are off sugar, sugar is unhealthy you see, and only have zero calorie diet coke which has aspartame, that has been approved by FDA as totally safe.
You eat that pizza, drink that coke, belch, and you are happy...
God bless you. May you live a long and healthy life!
