What we are really eating... at least in the U.S.

[Aaron]

Did you know in each glass of milk there is approximatively 6-9 drops of cow puss and traces of blood from infections caused by over-milking and growth hormones?

Oh my goodness. I have milk on my muesli in the morning. That statement has just thrown that on it's head.

The catch 22 situation is that soya production (for Soya milk in this context), is a rainforest killer.

I know! I was just wiping the milk mustache off my mouth as I read LsavedSmeD's post. haha! I know almost every avenue of the discussion of food has been explored, but I'm gonna say this again. I feel that our diet is a source of catalyst for us. The devil's in the details, because it's not exactly what we eat, it's how we eat it. If you look hard enough at anything, you'll find a scary reason not to consume it. As unity100 said, it's about maintaining the attitude of thankfulness and gratitude for not only the food you find in front of you, but the situation you find yourself in as you eat.

And this little gem of wisdom is key to remember: "Everything in moderation." Our body is so resilient. It can withstand a ton of poison, and still contain our Life for almost a hundred years! Although it's probably true that if we modified our collective diet, (and quite a few aspects of our society) our body would be viable for 400 or 800 years. The point I was making was the ability of our body to withstand punishment.
