RE:(pecan bread) my surreal experience

September 9, 2007

Sharon, I so get what your talking about. Except I think of everyone who

buys their food in the grocery store as actually eating plastic and thinking

its real food. It so sad for them but they are so happy with it that I am

amazed. I can't believe that people can be so blind. The truth is everywhere

staring them in the face or should staring at them in their plate. Maybe

someday

people will wise up. Maybe it has started a bit though, I heard on the

radio that they won't be selling " Wonder Bread " in California where I live

anymore because no one is buying it. It's a very small step but at least it's

a

step. I agree with you also though that people don't want to believe that what

they eat could be making them sick. I guess they don't want to give up their

plastic wafers!

So, I've been having this surreal experience while grocery shopping

lately.

It's as if I've been transported to the future where everyone around

me has been sadly deceived by the food industry. Quite happily, they

eat their little food wafers. I try to explain to them what real food

tastes like, but no one seems interested. As I try to explain, they

ask, 'Why would anyone want to go through all that work? " and " Who has

the time? " They all seem quite happy eating their processed food

wafers. With the wide variety of tastes and textures available, no

one gets tired of them. One lady even commented, " Why go through all

the work to eat a potato which will spoil, when you can just have an

potato wafer, which doesn't? " They are so blind to the great food scam

that has been so carefully constructed. Everyone I see has some sort

of health problem. I try to convince them that maybe it's something

lacking in their diet, but they assure me that the wafers have all the

nutrients they need . Once in a blue moon, I find someone else who

thinks as I do, but finding real food to eat is a challenge. Even at

those specialty shops, a lot of the food is not as it seems. The

produce and meat often have substances sprayed on them or injected

into them to make them look better and last longer. The water they

drink isn't just water anymore, either. It's improved (or so they

claim). Tired of struggling so hard just to survive, I began wishing

for home.

But then I realize that I am home.

Although we have more available than just wafers, I still see people

buying potato chips, pizza flavored chips, Chik'n in a Biskit and the

like. I still can't trust my water or my food. People still don't want

to discuss their heath in relationship to food. I guess the future

isn't too far off.

I understand both sides. Prior to an ASD child and all my husband's health

problems, we always were " health conscious " . But according to all the knowledge

I've gained in all the dietary interventions I now realize that style of eating

still would be " killing " us. I just didn't know so much and if it weren't for

my son, I probably would never have had the knowledge to eat this way. So, I

really feel sorry for so many of them. Many would not do this, but so many

would but just don't know. I ran across this saying years ago in our " health

conscious " days - " We don't die, we eat ourselves to death. "
