I’m gonna go off on a tangent here: This morning way the first time in 4 months consuming more than 1g of added sugar in a given day (my body doesn’t digest such food very well). In particular, I went to a “healthy” restaurant and ordered their gluten-free, dairy-free waffle and honey, and…what on earth. (i) The food tastes too good to stop eating, and (ii) it makes you feel utterly terrible after consuming. My brain is fried, all. This was a terrible idea lol. Food should be treated like medicine: it shouldn’t be consumed for the purpose of gratifying the passions of flesh, but to introduce essential nutrients into your body, so that you may function according to your best ability. Now, if you don’t mind me, I have to run on a treadmill for the next hour to burn off this waffle. (My heart is pounding at like a million bpm, how do people live like this?? Going from kale and low fat cottage cheese to a waffle with syrup might just be the worst idea I’ve ever concieved.) |
This reminds me of Stoicism. Do you follow that btw?
I kind of agree. It is worrying how bad modern day food is with all of the chemicals and plastics. I've looked into this more and you start to see how alzheimers, obesity, etc result from these if one has too much microplastics and chemicals in their body. It's further disheartening to realize how the people from big tobacco purchased fast food companies and have turned their attention to engineering foods that hit every kind of taste and yet are the worst thing you can put into your body.
I've recently gone vegan and eat simply. Just stuff from the produce aisle and beans, chia seeds, and yeast.
Finally, i'll point to how the Flynn effect has peaked and apparently people are backsliding with their IQ now, and i beleive that this may be due to more microplastics in food, more chemicals, more fertilizer, obesity, etc. It's all the same problem to me.
Ok, rant over, wish everyone here a good weekend
