The government allows the food industry to do whatever it wants. Reason why we get so many really crazy non-food ingredients in processed foods.
You are really taking your life in your hand if you eat processed foods.

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Best Diet Ever
If you really do understand nutrition and how best to eat for your health, you could have a diet today better than any have ever been in the past.
And it is interesting to speculate where that would take your health and longevity since it is a diet that has never been done before.
Olive Oil Alternative
Apple cider vinegar with 20 green olives in a blender. Keeps all the fiber and nutrients in the olives, not just the fat like olive oil. ACV improves digestion.
Bored
Do you eat because you are bored?
Freedom of Speech
This presidential election will determine whether our First Amendment right of freedom of speech will survive in America. A vote for Trump is a vote for the First Amendment and your constitutional right to say whatever you want to say.
Russia/Ukraine
Russia is the country that defeated Nazi Germany. Do you really think they will have a problem defeating an incredibly corrupt Ukraine?
No-Brainer Supplements
Resveratrol, sulforaphane, turmeric, milk thistle, garlic, magnesium, chlorella, glutathione.
Resveratrol because of its intense antioxidants and because it is linked to longevity — a longer life span, probably because of the antioxidants.
Sulforaphane because of its proven ability to fight cancer cells. The pharmaceutical industry has poured billions into the study of sulforaphane for this very reason.
Turmeric because of its proven ability to suppress chronic inflammation, which is so common.
Milk thistle because of its proven benefit to promote the health of the liver. You are only as healthy as your liver.
Garlic because of its proven antiviral impact.
Magnesium because of its proven ability to create calmness — a natural sedative.
Chlorella because of its unique mineral content from the sea.
Glutathione is the body’s main antioxidant — the body produces its own glutathione to suppress oxidative stress, but you can also buy it as a supplement in order to boost this defense against cancer and inflammation.
For those people who say that supplements are useless, I say nonsense.
Food Choices
People don’t realize how decisive food is in terms of promoting either stellar health or horrible disease.
If you are very selective in giving your body truly superior nutrition, chances are that you will experience great health, high energy, and a long life.
On the other hand, if you have a diet with poor nutrition, particularly if your diet includes a high percentage of processed foods with all their crazy ingredients that the body doesn’t know how to digest and many of which are carcinogenic, chances are you are opening the door to a wide spectrum of diseases and a much shorter life span.
All this because of your food choices. So take food choices more seriously. They matter.
Dealing With Insanity
If you dig deep enough into the current circumstances of the world you are living in, chances are pretty good that it will appear to be rampant insanity.
So the question becomes, how does one keep one’s balance under these conditions? That’s where a philosophy like Stoicism provides it value.
Survival
Would the human race survive a nuclear war? Probably. But it would be another very dark ages, with a lot of starvation.
The ones who would survive would be primitive cultures used to surviving off the land. But more modern types, dependent on electricity, who survived the radiation, would all perish, probably from starvation.
