95% Do This

There’s a seat in the grocery store I visit virtually every day, and this seat is across from the bread isle. I sit there and watch the shoppers pick out there bread. The vast majority of these people make terrible choices.

Pretty straight forward what you are looking for in commercial bread. First of all, it needs to be whole grain and not refined flour. Second, you would prefer to have multi-grain, not just wheat. Third, if there is added seeds of any kind, this is a positive, as it adds some protein to the bread, and so make the bread less carb-centric. Finally, you would prefer very little added sugar, preferable no sugar added at all.

Instead, the majority of people pick a bread with refined flour (and so no fiber), with only wheat flour, and lots of added sugar, and no seeds. Duh.

This bread choice, once digested by your system, turns into pure sugar with a tremendous insulin spike. Duh, duh, duh.

The Ezekiel breads are the best commercial breads, and Dave’s are pretty good too, although he does have some added sugar.

Don’t be part of this bread majority.

No Hunger

Americans and Food

A vegan restaurant opened on the busy main street in my town. Amazingly healthy and nutritious menu — I was amazed at how good it was. But they lasted only 6 weeks. I hardly saw any customers inside that whole time. Just as I was about to go in and have my first meal there, they closed for good.

A month later, another restaurant there. This one the standard cheesy burger type place with lots of fried foods, probably fried in those terrible seed oils. Place is packed every day. Some days, there’s a line outside to get in.

Tells you everything you need to know about Americans and their eating habits. Americans don’t have a clue about food or nutrition. You can draw the same conclusion looking at their carts at checkout at the supermarket — garbage. No question where heart issues and autoimmune issues and obesity epidemic come from. It’s the food. All preventable.

No Hunger

I’ve been doing 20:4 intermittent fasting for several years now. It’s referred to as the “Warrior diet”. You become so fat adapted that you never experience hunger, as the body has ready access to using stored fat through ketosis.

Even when I break the fast at 11 am, I could easily walk away from eating anything. You just don’t feel the type of hunger you felt before you became so fat adapted. It’s remarkable.

Poison?

Color

I’ve noticed that a person’s color preferences are heavily influenced by their hair color.

For instance, blondes have a natural inclination toward blue, while red heads (who often really have orange hair, although a minority have actual red hair) have a natural inclination toward brown.

Poison?

Aggressor

The aggressor with regard to the Ukraine proxy war isn’t Russia, but US/NATO. Russia is just defending itself against this stealth invasion by Europe.

If anything, we owe Putin a debt of gratitude for the restraint he has shown. Otherwise, we would all be in basements waiting for the missiles to fall.

This proxy war is just more insane and counterproductive US foreign policy. After Iraq and Vietnam, I guess we should expect this — foreign policy that makes no sense and that is not in our interest.

Dish Detergent

Now they are pointing out that dish detergent leaves a residue of chemicals on the plates, silverware, etc. that is extremely harmful to humans and causes inflammation. So they encouraging people to wash all dishes and silverware with tap water before use to get rid of this harmful residue.

I’ve never ever used dish detergent for this very reason. It occurred to me very early on that one would be digesting some really crazy chemicals from the residue from dish detergent. I have always just washed everything with tap water, which is also not a complete solution as tap water without a filter will have chlorine that negatively impacts your microbiome.

Sometimes, there is no good solution.

Strength and Old Age

Censorship

What is shocking to me is how quickly social media organs like Facebook and Youtube and many others caved to government pressure to censor anything that was anti-Woke. The First Amendment Right to freedom of speech was of no importance to these organizations.

Cudos to Elon Musk for purchasing Twitter and restoring it to free and unhindered expression. He did this not because it was a good business decision, but solely for that admirable political goal, which clearly bucks the trend of all the other social media organs to adhere to the censorship endorsed by the illiberal Biden administration.

Nevertheless, the last 4 years shows how easily and quickly our First Amendment right can be taken away.
