Amen sister!! So totally true. i have a friend that never eats from the isles cause he said the same thing that there is no real nutrition in these dead foods. No true life. Why do we think that is good for us? LoL!!!
I agree. Being programed to eat this stuff. But I know I respect others in their choices.
Thinking is the most essential in today's society!!
The Bible talks about 'the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life' being the realm of carnality. That pretty much describes modern commercialism - looks good, tastes good, makes me feel important and cool.
I am having similar thoughts after experimenting w/raw - very little of the junk in grocery stores is the food God originally created to nourish our bodies.
I already started my own raw food 1 week experiment. Besides vegies and fruits, I eat raw eggs and honey. What should I expect to happen in this week?
And what food do you recommend in winter? Local vegies are few in my country so should I rely on imported food just like oranges and bananas are imported?
I'm sure I understand what you mean by what should you expect this week. It all depends on the person and how their body reacts to detoxing. There are various symptoms that you may experience. Now, please understand, I did not say to eat raw eggs. I by no means eat raw eggs and hope I never do.
Nah, raw eggs is just something that I do, you didn't influence me on that. I'm just waiting now for things to change... I started a vegetarian diet with eggs and milk 2 months ago and I felt that things got better for my body, but in this diet I am expecting thing to get DIFFERENT, not only better. Also, I like this diet because I'd only get to shop at the market place, the food is cheap and it is also fast food... no cooking required.
As far as what types of foods you can eat during winter. Eat raw foods that are availiable. Right now foods are being imported from all parts of the world to different countries. We too have foods here that are imported because they're not in season. If you can, get organic fruits & veggies, if not get what you can afford and clean properly.
So true, Cynthia. We really do need to think. This is true about food, spending, etc. Eating on auto pilot is really destructive. When we DECIDE to change and actively think about what we put in our bodies, the rest follows.
Good point. I think one of the reasons the raw food concept is not mainstream is because it would have a somewhat devastating effect on our economy. Man's greed has really effected all of us and our economic futures.
Lordy, I think we have the same mom! She would always fly into a rage in the car on the way home from Costco because of the Sample Hogs. "You would think they were starving, stuffing their faces with that garbage, GARBAGE!!!" she would yell. Thankfully I grew up in a household where real food was eaten, including lots of fruits and vegetables. I've been a vegetarian for almost 15 years, and am transitioning to raw now.
Great job on these videos--so insightful and inspirational!
Ha ha, sample hogs! Didn't they appear as if they were at the trough trying to nudge in line and get their share of feed. That sounds cruel and animalistic, but when you think of it that is how we act when it comes to food. We feed our eyes rather than our stomachs. Others have to see how the quality of junk food has even gone down. Not that anyone should eat it, but nothing cooked and processed tastes good anymore, yet people are buying because someone handed them a sample. WOW!
So true... You said u ate eggs and fish, you may want to listen to compassionate cooks podcast (aka food for thought ) I've found it very enlightening!
Yes, I wanted eggs. Maybe my body needed the things that eggs contain. I also have added fish to my diet a couple nights a week. But I know this is what I want. I don't want to go back to eating just to eat and not eating to nourish my body. I want to be healthy more than I want a particular food. Right now, I am satisfied with my diet. I may not ever eat eggs again and then again, I just might. Each day is step closer to where I want to be.
I was not criticizing (sp?) you at all for eating a little bit of eggs and fish, you're right about good health being an ongoing process and such, I've got my own problems eating stuff alot less healthy than that (ie processed sugar and grains!) but I simply recommended the podcast cause I think everyone should hear them, just trying to spread the word. I wish you all the best!!!
I didn't take your comments to be criticism. I was simply explaining that I wanted eggs. As long as you desire change, you will seek change. Thank you for the info regarding the podcast. I'll have to check it out.
Kenny I don't know what happened. I think my shirt color was too light and with the green screen effects, it just eliminated the shirt. I'll know next time. Glad I made you laugh! Be Raw!
It is hard when you have to cook for the rest of the family
