I am not claiming that the raw foods movement doesn't have its flaws.... Technically, humankind has been cooking food for so long we have evolved to digest many food better cooked. Plus our immune systems aren't as tough as they once were (look at a dog, they can eat nearly anything including shit and they rarely get sick. we eat peanuts now and our immune system tries to kill us). With as bad as our food is treated, it is only natural for people to respond in such drastic ways. More BS. The real facts are that westerners are the tallest, healthiest, longest lived culture ever. Much of that is because we are the best nutritioned culture ever. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying or misinformed and more than likely is trying to sell some fraud to gullible people. Hmm. BS to you. We are not the best nutritioned, the most fed, but not the best nourished. A fucking Chicago dog and fries dowsed in ketchup, ain't exactly nutrition. AND REALLY????!!?!?! healthiest????? Half of of Ammurica is fat. 10 states have 30+% of its population designated as obese (thats really damn fat). We have the greatest amount of available food to us at the lowest prices relative to GDP, which means none of us are running around starving like central African children. That article I posted was chosen because of its references, mostly ones like the fucking New England Journal of Medicinem, Science, and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ---Not some crack-pot hippy publications. You can't just point to diet for life span... How about we have low crime relative to 3rd world countries? How about we have good hospitals and doctors and drugs to fix us up? We also are paranoid about safety, you know airbags, helmets, etc. People who do dumb shit just don't get darwinized in our society. Sure, we now live longer, but how much longer could we live if we coupled an abundant food supply with healthy unpoisoned food? Also, you got to look at the facts about our aged population. Someone who is 70 now, didn't grow up with all the hormones and shit in their milk, beef, chicken, etc. The practice of pumping our food full of additives and other shit wasn't widely acceptable until recent history. Additionally, you think our life expectancy will continue to rise in the future? Not with all the fatties, obesity related dealths are starting outpace smoking related deaths. The rate of congested heart failure amung people under the age of 50 is beginning to rise. quote:
Reducing the amount of dairy produced would likely make the milk supply more dangerous because there would be less public concern for the safety of the milk supply. Specious logic at best. Who the hell eats many rudabagas anymore? Yet, we all still care if the rudabagas on the shelf in our grocery stores are safe to eat. Milk will remain safe. I could argue back the limited supply and higher price of milk, would make it more affordable for the farmer and easier to regulate. Following your logic, if we banned diet soda with all of it modern chemistry in it, everyone would get fat from all the sugar. However, ever since diet soda hit the market we have been getting fatter and fatter, and someday just take a look at all the fat people waddling around drinking diet soda. quote:
As to diabetes (type II I assume you eant) cancer and osteoperosis, these are diseases of long life. They were uncommon in earlier generations because people simply didn't live long enough for them to occur. Anyone who pushes the modern diet as bad based on diseases earlier generations did not live long enough to have is yet again a fraudster looking to make a buck on the gullible. Yes type II. Um, not anymore. more and more people of younger ages are getting type II diabetes. They are even starting to see it in 20 something year olds. Once it was a disease of ths old, not anymore. Cancer, not always a disease of the old anymore either. The rate of breast, prostate, and testicular cancer among people under the age of 60 continues to escalate. Those cancers are most directly related hormones. There are studies coming out pretty regularly now showing how the surge in artificial hormones in our environment are screwing with people's sex drive, causing premature cancers, kickstarting puberty in girls at earlier and earlier ages (now as low as 8yo in some cases !!!!!!), and giving men a host of emotional problems. If you look at what I said about milk in general, it is not a good idea to consume that much of regularly. Even without the artificial crap being pumped in there, milk that is not human has a host of proteins and whatnot in proportions that aren't good for people, including high levels of a natural opioid tied to cancers. And soy ain't much better. With the abundance of plant sterols resembling estrogen, it isn't a good idea for men to really consume any soy milk at any age. For adult women it may be helpful with things like menopause, but can screw with the hormone levels of developing girls. I personally don't consume much milk and dairy. I know there are other ways to get calcium naturally in my diet, and I don't want the negative effects of over consumption of dairy. However, when I have a choice, I will at least go hormone free organic, otherwise I just won't touch it. The Modern US diet is shit. Europe doesn't allow all that crap being squirted into their food and they don't have giant escalation in health problems we are starting to see in the US. And free healthcare doesn't cure a bad diet. So, I am pointing to diet. I'm a fraudster? What division of Monsanto/Cargill/ADM do you work for?
