The Big Con
by Lapis
First they get your attention(sex, emotions, cravings, etc), then they fill your head with images to make you act against your natural instinct. They profit...you suffer!
Who are they? The multi trillion dollar food mega corporations with their powerfully placed political lobbyists paving their unobstructed way.
Every see a giraffe sit down to a cooked meal? Not only a cooked meal but one with genetically modified, irradiated, fungicided, pesticided, preserved, gassed, etc, ingredients? How about a walrus suckling a cow's breast? How about an ardvarkk grinding up grains for bread? These things seem absurd when you look at them from a removed vantage point, but this is what mankind (most) has been conned into acepting as normal through slick and relentless conditioning. They (food industry) have made any attempt of countering these conditioned belief systems/addictions seem restrictive or abnormal. The truth beyond the conditioning is that subjecting one's self to an ongoing unhealthy lifestyle is abnormal.
Corporate entities, along with slick ad agencies, have worked hard to create the Pavlovian response to their wares. Now, many see a commercial for meat or cheese and respond. They see a commercial for twinkies or wonderbread...respond. See a commercial for Wendies or KFC....respond. It is nothing more than corporate conditioning at work and the unsuspecting fall prey, and boy do they fall prey. Not only do they pay with their wallets, but sadly, they pay with quality of life and in many cases, they pay with their lives.
1 in 3 people end up getting cancer....soon that rate will change to 1 out of 2. Currently, 1 out of 2 people will get a heart/circulatory condition in their lifetime. Diabetes rates are climbing through the roof. We are seeing higher and higher autoimmune disease rates, and the list of new and strange conditions cropping up goes on and on and on. Ask your grandparents if this was the norm when they were young. I can assure you it wasn't. We have exchanged quality of life for a zombie like quantity and even that is waning. I can assure you we have the knowledge and awareness to have long, healthy and fulfilling lives but that requires taking your power back and not giving in to addictions/corporate slavery.
Most people don't know that breads and many other comercially available foods have opiates in them so that you get addicted to them and are a constant source of cash flow to some powerful industry giants. I'll stop there. Sucumbing to an unnatural way of eating is like robbing Peter to pay Paul and some day Paul will come to collect.
The answer is going back to nature. A raw food diet!
