Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just to stretch out minds... Just suppose.. (-a hypothesis).. In the USA, the government wants to control the choice of food & gets mean & shuts down all local farms. (this won't happen, but just for this case of hypothesis), and they order that people only buy from supermarkets which has commercial name-brand products. So, no grass-fed/free-range anything. Nothing organic. But you get all the foods from the superstores- animal and plant origin-all fats/protein/carbs. And the governement will not tell which foods have been GE or irradiated. Fast foods & Restaurants & doctors prosper, but everyone has the liberty to get any foods from the store to their home. Also there will be liberty to do exrecise-walk/run/workout etc. Also, let's add this to the case. The government has regulated that each county has only one health food store, and the prices are over-inflated. You can get nutritional supplements, but it will have a very big price-tag. You can Kefir grains, CLO etc. _____________ From a NN perspective, how would you cope up? Could you? What can you still do, in the above hypothetical situation(which I believe and trust will never happen) to maintain some/good decent health. Is it possible? How will you order your choices in the supermarket/health food store, to get the most bang for the buck? How will you care for tender little children and growing-up teens in this kind of a situation.? What will your over-all action plan be, to overcome the situation, and still maintain a healthy active lifestyle. My deeper thought/question, through this is, how much can 'imperfect' whole foods, help and generate/keep health, if that is all the choice a man is offered. This is a practical issue for people in inner-city or low-income or other family/relationship hardship situations where they may not have access to 'healthy' whole foods all the time, but they may have the interest & ability, & be able to access less-than-ideal, but whole foods, in their situation. What hope can we offer them? How can they raise above the situation, and still maintain decent health. How will survival happen in such rough situation.? Thanks -Dan.
