On: Food

is god stupid? mother nature got it all wrong? i don't think so.  

whatever your view on creation, you probably must wonder why we feel the need to tamper with our environment. as if humans know best. do you see any other animal screwing with their surroundings. anyway this thought can be applied across the board into any area of life, but for now i'm starting with the food we eat.  

why don't we eat what we were designed to eat? made to eat? had to eat? what our genes, which haven't changed for ten thousand plus years, requires us to eat.  

natural whole-foods; nuts, meat, vegetables, fruit, seeds, eggs. locally grown. organic. drink lots of water. cut down on grains especially gluten grains. limit dairy. if we ate like this 80% of the time (no one can do it 100%, if you can then you're up there with superman in my eyes) than we would see a huge decrease in obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, depression and so on and so on. see there has to be a link between the dominance of processed and packaged un-fresh foods and the rapidly rising rates of all the disease mentioned.

three simple rules maybe: 

1) don't eat anything if you look at the list of ingredients on the back of the package and find that you can't pronounce half of what is written.  
2) don't eat or drink anything if you couldn't of 10,000 years ago.
3) don't eat or drink anything that comes in a bucket.

an excellent book for more of this type of thinking is the primal blueprint by mark sisson.

but i'll leave it with this.  if we were created, and the earth was created, surely what is of the earth is what we should be eating. what is natural is what we should be digesting.
