You are what you eat!

I watched this documentary a few months ago and it completely changed my perspective on the food I eat. I highly recommend it because after I saw this I changed my diet completely and have been feeling phenomenally beter because of it!

Nice response Bobby :-)

I too don’t like to see people holding onto their ignorance, especially when it’s harming others – be they human or animal or ecosystems….. I’m just trying to find the best method to communicate effectively…… I’m always open to pointers.

let me first give a resounding “OMNOMNOMNOMNOM”.

secondly, i’d like to point out that mattias said “General Tits” earlier.

and now for the actual substance of my comment: first off, anyone who eats from McDonalds and such are just flat out stupid. It’s such common knowledge that it’ll basically kill you, I don’t know why there’s still a line that backs out into the street every morning in front of my local McDonalds. On the topic of vegetarianism, I think being a vegetarian or vegan would be awesome, but I just don’t have the willpower for it… but I HAVE been choosing my foods better. No more Tyson meat after watching Food Inc…

Everyone needs to watch this documentary about food & standard ‘health’care in America.

It is called THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH, and it is about a NUTRITIONAL THERAPY by Dr. Max Gerson that was developed in 1928, which has been found (and there are records upon records at the San Diego Gerson Institute, plus patient testimonials, etc) to CURE every single one of these diseases (and more):

Adrenal Disease
Alzheimers Disease
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Brain Cancer
Breast Cancer
Colon Cancer
Cushing’s Syndrome
Diabetes
Herniated Discs
Hypertension
Kidney Colic Attacks
Liver Cancer
Lymphoma
Melanoma

YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS OUT ON THIS! We have to be our own doctors and learn how to heal ourselves! Stop feeding into the ‘pill-for-every-ill’ mentality! Watch it and be amazed.

I now drink Silk(whole soy milk) rather than pasteurized milk, but I still love milk.
Also, a daily tablespoon of chia seed has been an excellent, easy and healthy addition to my diet. I recommend it highly to everyone!

Milk’s saturated fat is the worst that there is…. I think the best arguement they have going is that machine milked cows get blood and puss in the milk… so its gross… I’ve also heard of milk stripping your bones of calcium, so the net affect from calcium is 0 because it takes some out and puts some in, I can’t remember the fine details, sorry… It’s all controversial

If if you drink soy, I’ve heard not to drink isolate proteins… I guess it’s fine in whey, but they have show it to be cancerous with soy

@Matt, Being poor doesn’t mean you need to eat unhealthy foods. In fact the more a food is processed the more you are really paying for it, if not now then you pay for it later at the doctor, or with early death. There are plenty of cheap unprocessed foods, beans and rice being the first 2 coming to mind.

@tits and Mattias, Mattias was right when he said most non-caucasians are allergic to milk, or at least have adverse effects. Tits was right when he pointed out that yogurt is good for just about everyone, sour cream is another fermented dairy product that is also not bad for most people. Either way osteoporosis is a major problem specifically for post menopausal women, gotta get that calcium. Also its not as difficult as you think to get yogurt with active bacteria, nearest co-op will probably have some.

Being completely vegan or vegetarian makes it difficult to get all of your essential proteins and amino acids, meaning you need to eat multiple protein sources (nuts, beans, dairy and vegetable proteins) you must be careful about not depriving yourself of these or you will lose muscle mass (every pound of muscle on your body requires 75 calories a day to upkeep) which is especially important for anyone overweight. Another issue that many veg’s have is iron deficiencies, so many end up supplementing.

An interesting diet is the diet by blood type, you can google it and find links, or go to your nearest book store and ask them and they will find it for you. This has many of the same idea’s as in gerson’s diet, but some different research which I found to be a little more scientific.

Almost forgot, Ghandi lived long periods of his life on ground nut butter and i think bananas if I remember correctly…however he was a ninja lol

does anyone know how to use soy flakes? I bought a pack but I want a good recipe before I start experimenting with them!

so i’m italian

I haven’t had the chance to read it yet but am a firm believer in the phrase ‘You are what you eat’ due struggling with my weight for the first 18/19 years I was on this planet, I can say with certainty from personal experience that eating clean, healthy unprocessed food benefits greatly in every other aspect of life, physical emotional spiritual mental etc etc etc.
