Cynthia, I have a tenet by which to live, but it is very hard to do. First, it in it's original form :
Your body will crave what it needs.
Now here comes the problem. Via manipulated flavors, coloring, textures an so forth they have thrown this process off. You can only see this when you have cast this off, as I have. You see without sugar for twenty years, alot went with it. Even my twenty buck a pound naturally harvested unrefined sea salt, I use it rarely. I have actually learned to taste food again. I eat burgers really rare, and there is only one store in town that has hamburber meat that is acceptable.
You might think it would be at a midway place like Giant Eagle or whatever, or a high end plce like Heinen's or something, but no. It's at Save-a-lot, an arab joint down in little Puerto Rico down here. That meat tastes like meat is supposed to taste, and surprisingly does not break the bank. When I eat meat I want it untouched by anything but fire and salt. And not much salt at that. I detest BBQ sauce. I haven't used catsup in ten years and mustard is coming up, that I only use it in a few things.
I don't eat perfect, usually in the morning before work I'll have a burrito and kill it with hot sauce, OK, but that's a shitty two buck burrito. Actually they're not that bad, having shredded in instead of ground beef, and not full of beans and whatnot. So when it is a prepared food I have no problem smothering it with a condiment, but when it is meat, I want to taste meat. I have also had rare pork and chicken which scares the hell out of some people, but I think you know me better than that. Actually I would probably eat that shit raw if I know where it comes from.
The way I see it there are certain things to do to control BP. One, if you like salt and can't get the stuff I got, which is twenty bucks a pound now, at least get Kosher salt, the kind with the warning that it will clump up on you. What makes table salt not clump up is exactly what makes it bad for you. Common fucking sense, your body is mostly water. Salt clumps up because it absorbs water. Salt that doesn't clump up cannot be utilized properly in the body. Therefore you can put Morton's on everything you eat and die of a sodium deficiency. In fact a little known fact is that salt companies such as Morton's make more money off of what they refine out of the salt than the sale of the table salt itself. Mind that by weight this is a very small portion, but it is more valuable by many orders of magnitude.
But people have the mind of sheep usually. I can get whole milk, well almost which would be 3.5% or so butterfat, and then I can get 2%. Do the math, why don't I just get the thick shit and add water. People will say "it's different". Well it sure as hell is. If you have ever seen the drawer side of a business desk you know they are selling what they take out of that 2% milk. And simple math tells that the price is not commensurate of that, so they are making money both ways.
An in depth study of the whole situation reveals something, that thing that rears it's ugly head in almost every aspect of one's life. Money. The fact is that nobody gives a shit about your health. I mean noboby, not the FDA, USDA, WHO, not social security, nor your doctor or whoever. Your lawyer might care as long as you owe him money. (there's that word again). It is so hard to explain this level of greed to people who are not greedy. Of course all this points to a grand conspiracy, but it is not. It is cooperation. They cooperate to make the most money possible, and that is also in the hopes that we all wind up in nursing homes so they take all our houses and shit to eliminate inheritance among the masses. That is one of the planks of the Communis Manifesto, all of which have been implemented in this country.
But I don't want to get political on this issue, only to point out how the addiction to money known as greed has influenced this issue. The subject of health and basically where it went was quite the field of study for me, and I kept running into money as part of the equation. My concluion after ten or so years ? Act like a dog.
You might think it's a fucking joke but it is not. Eat dog food, in fact puppy chow. When you get sick, go to the vet. I know it's illegal but you know how much illegal means to me ?
Let me pose you a question, just to illustrate how this whole situation got instrumented somehow. You have a vet, licensed to work on animals. You have doctors licensed to work on humans. It is not legal, nor seemingly acceptable for most to have a vet work on humans. Of course the normal perception of this is that they lack the skill level. At least that is the prima facie reason. It is similarly unnaceptable for a doctor to work on an animal. Why ? Fleas ? Bullshit, some people have fleas. The table is cleaned after every "patient". Disinfectant is prime in that setting. And would you rather sit on something after a nice healthy German sheperd pup about to get his nut cut or a bum with scurvy, the runs, AIDS and who knows what else who hasn't bathed in years ?
So I will put it in my Saturday vernacular - I really have rethunk everything. I've found this to yield me a very unique perspective, and indeed if I could go to a vet rather than a doctor, I would. And sadly, one of the top reasons for that is because the doctor makes money when his patients get sick and die. The vet does not, he makes more when his patients live long and remain in good health. And that, like everything else in life, seems to come back to the fucking almighty buck.
So much for that right now, thuis is Saturday and I want to go fuck with someone, here or elsewhere. Now if Ken shows up in this thread fine, but for now I don't see much opportunity here :-)
