The dose makes the poison.
This is valid for each and everything in life! In your love-life, in work-life, in you hobbies, in your drinking behaviour and in your eating behaviour. It should always be scrutinized if your life is in balance.
Nowadays we tend to believe what the big media is dishing out and then we are like OMG, what I do is so bad! And we all have to change this and that and just "cry wolf". Mostly that is what the big media wants to make us believe. That's what they are making their money with.
Truth is, they all are dishing out half-truth without giving us all facts. Before we change anything we should inform ourselfs about all facts. What is the truth? How does it work in reality?
I just read in another entry about the hog feeding/pig fattening. Anyone of you ever worked on a farm? Ever fed a pig? Knows what pig eat in natural surroundings/growing up naturally?
For your information:
Pigs/boars are omnivores. They would eat everything they can get. Worms/insects/larvae in the earth, that's what their snouts are made for, they eat grass/herbs/roots and even rotten carcass too. Everything that meets their taste. That's why pig meat has to be inspected because of the possibility of trichinas in the muscles-meat.
I know that because this was my main subject in my apprenticeship and I used to work on a farm, with pig fattening, egg-production and milk production.
Pig fattening farms are meat production factories nowadays.
It's a production cycle of mostly 305 days. After birth it's 3-4 weeks lactation-phase, then 6-7 weeks up-coming phase and then around 18 weeks fattening-phase - then they are slaughtered with a weight around 110kg.
Those pigs are pent up in dark after the lactation phase, they are bored and aggressive because they have to live that tight together. This results in fighting. They bite their ears and tails off. Their tails are cut off a few days after birth and the males are castrated.
Because of their tight living together and the fighting they tend to have wounds very often. It is usual among them. That's ONE of the reasons they feed antibiotics. Another reason for antibiotics is that the meds change the metabolism in a way that they get fat faster. Another reason might be the reason cit: "that they are fed corn (because corn is cheap) and their bodies are not meant to ingest corn so they constantly have lesions on their livers and infections due to eating the corn."
Well, corn is not the only sort of food pigs get. Corn wouldn't give them all the ingredients their bodies need. They are mostly fed a pulp with a mixture of things that contains minerals, vitamins, fibres and other trace elements. And it contains meds.
I know that corn is mostly GMO-origin nowadays. It is made that way as the consumers wanted it that way. They want bigger, better, more. It isn't fully researched what gmo-food does to us or animals. But it is not good.
But it is not solely responsible to our food allergies or - incompatibilities nowadays.
Have you ever had a close look on ingredient lists? The most common thing on it is SUGAR and CORN SYRUP and WHEAT in every form possible. You drink soda or gatorade or whatever else but no water anymore (no wonder as the water out of the tab tastes like shit with those loads of chlorine in it)
You eat tons of carbs in bread, modern comfort food like burgers, chips, tacos... We tend to eat fast food or ready-made meals instead of preparing it from scratch. ALL those foods contain corn syrup, conservatives, artificial sweeteners, -flavours, - colouring... .
e.g. Does anyone of you know how real vanilla tastes?
The modern human didn't have those ingredients in their diets 100 years ago. They didn't die that often by diabetes or heart attacks as we do now. They weren't overweight that much and often. They had a healthy mixture of fat, protein and carbs of healthy origin with a healthy dose of daily movement.
If you want to have a healthy nutrition and if you can afford it (I know that this kind of food is more expensive):
Buy your meat and eggs on farmers markets from farmers where you know the animals are grown in a natural way.
Buy your veggies from farmers not that far away. So the carbon print isn't high and you know it's fresh
Or best home grown.
Buy you bread from a whole food store on whole-grain-bases
Don't eat that much sweets.
Don't eat that much comfort food.
Prepare your meals from scratch.
Drink water.
Use your muscles.
It's the dose that makes the poison. A bit from everything is more healthy than too much from one. Especially when it becomes a habit.
