Not to spoil your holiday season, but a good reminder of how the system actually works against you. Being corporately controlled of course it’s inevitable. So is emphasized the need to be proactive. It was by falling ill that I suddenly had time to explore the vagaries and dishonesty of the corporation that is in reality, psychopathic by nature. Don’t believe me? Watch The Corporation movie. That was my biggest eye opener. They even target your babies. A familiar theme currently. As a social sciences student in the ’80s, the University I attended told us that ‘in the future’ corporations would control governments. Predictive programming at its finest! See how well Unis are funded by the corporates. Search ‘Otago University, Bill Gates’ and see for yourself … EWR
Doctors predict that by 2030, half of the world’s population will be overweight or obese. An epidemic of obesity is causing a rapid rise in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. It’s becoming the biggest health challenge worldwide. Why has no country managed to stop this epidemic? The food industry and government authorities say it’s due to a lack of individual self-discipline. Is this true? Or is it the result of collective failure — a symptom of a liberal society that abhors obesity, yet produces people who are overweight. Is society itself to blame for this situation? Around the world, politicians, priests, doctors, and average people are standing up to multinational food corporations. They want to take back control of their nutrition and their bodies — and they’re using the law, scientific evidence, and political activism to correct the claim that people who are obese have only themselves to blame. These critics focus on sugary drinks that can be as addictive as some hard drugs; misleading advertising directed at children and low-income people; governments that turn a blind eye to junk-food companies; and lobbying that pushes the limits of legality. These people say that a “hostile takeover” of our food has been underway for four decades, and they’re demanding new legislation to put a stop to it. This documentary investigates how Chile is leading the way in this struggle. Which country will be the next to confront the big food corporations in the name of public health?

We’re still adapted to a ‘stone age’ diet, which is not far from LCHF/NCHF/Atkins etc.. All known as ketogenic diets, which is natural to us. Big Pharma’ claim othervise, due to known reasons …. ‘Welfare diseases’* didn’t exist before we settled down 6000-9000 years ago and started to eat a lot of seeds from the Poaceae family (actual grass – grain, rice, maize etc., not to be confused with the graminoid Cyperaceae family). Evolution do not change that fast, so … Since mid 1940’s, artificial body foreign stuff has increasingly been included in the food, which most turns out to be harmful in the long run (incl. industrial oils …)
The food industry is allowed to do this, as the pharmaceutical industry makes a lot of money from this. When industries are in reality allowed to self-regulate their activities, collapses are inevitable. Just look what has happened to the finance and real estate industries several times. What about the food industry? Well, the pharmaceutical industry is partly regulating them, allowing them a win-win-lose situation. The lose situation applies to those who actually in the end pay for their ‘products’, one way or another … The chemistry industry is also responsible for the present situation.
* ‘Welfare diseases’ includes diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CAD, PAD, HBP and blood clots; thrombosis/stroke/PE), type 2 diabetes, gout, cancer, cerebrovascular diseases, obesity, asthma and more …

Very very interesting SasjaL. 1940s makes sense for the rot setting in (as I would call it). My parents were the old era, just pre ’40s childhoods so they still grew a garden & ate local, before the crappy bread (I’m sure bread is way worse in past decade, glyphosate I suspect) …. locally killed meat, own fruit trees, no sprays. Makes sense. They were very healthy. All pre-vax too!

Four months of candy selling/eating – October, December, February, and April (hovering at the holidays of Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s, and Easter). Then May, July, and September (Memorial, Independence, and Labor days) for burgers and hot dogs – eat it all to grow in size. 😦
I have a copy of The Corporation… Super Size Me, and even Forks over Knives (and others) – good stuff AND bad stuff ALL food for thought.
