This is the main page of a series called "Life." It is by no means an exhaustive authority on any of the subjects located below, but rather a gathering place for my thoughts on each topic. Yes, I will be adding references for things that may come into question, but the majority of the work should be considered my opinion. This is okay, my opinion is right all of the time.
Life in this instance should be defined as: "The sequence of physical and mental experiences that make up the existence of an individual." Or, better put: What we put up with while we spend time on this Earth. Also, do not waste time on the other definitions of life, people spend too much time arguing that already.
In late 2019, we were shown video and images of peopel infected by the Corona virus. Perhaps these videos were unsubstantiated, but that did not matter. The media was showing us these videos and reporting a pandemic that could possibly throw the world into a "Walking Dead" scenario. Once this virus hit America, we were told to expect mass casualties.
But we didn't see them. Or at least my family and I didn't. We almost felt gyped. Here they were, on the television, telling us to shelter in place or it would be the end of the world. However, all the evidence we saw on the ground level was different. It was at this time that I began to mistrust everything.
The following articles will attempt to bring that distrust to bear on the topic that is being discussed. Water? Yeah, I don't believe what "authorities" tell me. Same goes for the Military...and all the other things that "experts" have been spewing at us for decades.
Sure, there were times when I believed. I was a victim of the Industrial Propaganda Complex. But those in power and command over drew their hand. By going to the extent they did, they created rebellion, dissent, and worst of all they lost trust.
FOOD
Modern food, particularly the ultra-processed variety, has increasingly been labeled as 'poison' due to its association with numerous health issues. These foods are often laden with high levels of sugars, fats, and salts, alongside numerous additives and preservatives, which have been linked to chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer. For instance, studies suggest that diets high in ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of colorectal cancer and contribute to mental health issues like depression. This perspective is supported by research indicating that these foods might not only lack nutritional value but could actively harm health through mechanisms like excessive calorie intake, alterations in metabolism, and disruption of gut health.
processed foods
These foods are stripped of fiber, loaded with sugars, fats, and sodium, and packed with preservatives and artificial additives. Here's the harm in a nutshell: they can lead to obesity due to high calorie content with little nutritional value, spike blood sugar levels causing type 2 diabetes, increase heart disease risk with their trans fats and high sodium, and even affect mental health by lacking the nutrients needed for brain function.
poultry and other farmed meats
GMOs
heirloom seeds
Pesticides, herbicides, and even industrial runoff can infiltrate the soil where these seeds lie, potentially altering their genetic integrity or reducing their germination rates.
organics
pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers
They contribute to health issues in humans, ranging from acute poisonings to chronic conditions like cancer and neurological disorders, due to bioaccumulation in the food chain. Additionally, over-reliance on these chemicals fosters resistance in pests and weeds, necessitating even more use, creating a cycle of dependency.
The agriculture lobby significantly influenced the creation of the original food pyramid, pushing for dietary recommendations that favored their industries over public health.
This lobbying effectively shaped a dietary guideline that served economic interests, not necessarily nutritional science, leading to decades of dietary advice that many experts now believe contributed to various health epidemics.
