It seems like our society's direction pushes us in a direction towards self destruction. Of course, I am not only talking about eating healthy food, but I'll save that for another day. Margarine, salt, preservatives and aspartame. Throw in some frozen vegetables and meat. This is our food. This is our death. Diet health food is provided in small plastic containers~just add water. Pay more for smaller servings of more toxic "food" and just eat more to satisfy the food addiction you have. Hey, it IS health food, right? You need to make a lot of money at your job in order to pay for your diet food. In order to get the job and keep it, you need to be skinny. In order to be skinny you need to diet and EXERCISE, but you cannot fit it into your schedule when you are having to work full time just to break even let alone pay for gym membership and especially not for a personal trainer. At least not if you want any type of a healthy social life. It is possible. You just have to be really hyped up on energy drinks...Then you crash. Then we crash. Then it all fall down.
I have been introduced to a new book that, upon close inspection, could have an impact on my life. The China Study examines the relationship between the consumption of animal products and illnesses such as cancers of the breast, prostate, and large bowel, diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, degenerative brain disease, and macular degeneration. Although I am not a vegan, I have always seriously considered it. It would be like quitting smoking for me I think, but I did manage to do that successfully.
