Food

The most elemental part of any spiritual or growthful personal process/practice is choosing a healthy diet. How you eat and what you eat will have the greatest influence on your progression as a human being. From brain to feet, diet controls the quality of your life and your experience of life.

The modern food supply in the U.S. is a chemical minefield. The corn and soy agri-magnates have sacrificed genetic diversity and nutrients in food production to extend shelf life (profits) and diminish costs of production and shipping. The result is obvious. A plague of obesity, a population routinely taking anti-depressants and/or tranquilizers, and a booming laxative/antacid industry.

Even the leading organic food chain, "Whole Foods", has betrayed its own name for profit. Read the packages of products on its shelves and you will routinely find extenders, synthetic soy additives, synthetic corn additives. In other words, junk food. Their staff has been brainwashed and will argue that these synthetic, superfluous additives are "natural" or "organic". This is absurd.

It is essential to take control of your diet to get free from the additives and extenders which have no nutritional value. You will experience clearer thinking and more energy within weeks of eliminating this garbage from your diet. Eat food from the ground. Minimize food from boxes. Eat dairy products that are unadulterated with additives or preservatives. Seek live-cultured yogurt. Eat cage-free, vegetarian-fed chicken eggs. Stay away generally from processed corn-containing or soy-containing products. Do not eat raw legumes. And, if you must eat meat, find meat that comes from animals which were humanely raised with organic, non-animal feeds.

Eating properly is a self-perpetuating process. Your body, once stabilized on a good diet, will punish you if you stray. Listen to its discipline and you will live a longer, healthier life.
