Meet Your Meat - and your cause of illness

How do you pick out a typical North American? Well, they limit their thinking to all things involving money. Nothing else, just money. For example a typical North American's favourite saying when it comes to health is, "I can't afford it".

It is the battle cry of anyone who has ever had a hard time getting their health rolling in the right direction. North Americans are famous for looking at superficial and immediate "money based" concerns regarding their decisions and that is the exact construct that gets them into so much trouble with their health. You never hear of anyone declaring personal bankruptcy or getting into trouble with their credit cards because they are overspending on organic foods. People generally overspend on things that will never make them healthier or happier.

Many people rarely think about lost days of work, gas in the car travelling to medical specialists (who never really specialize at anything other than giving you experimental medications), depreciation on the car, dying early, wearing a diaper, not being able to have sex, looking terrible, feeling terrible, living in fear, not sleeping or even the non-monetary satisfaction of a regular bowel movement etc. (we will not even touch the cost of coffee, cigarette and alcohol addiction that usually accompanies ill health)

If raised in North America our mentors (schools, teachers, parents) rarely try to teach younger generations about the indirect costs of being sick and thinking in an unhealthy way.

It is odd that someone can look at a factory farmed $4.00 chicken breast and tell themselves that a $7.00 organic chicken breast is not worth it. The question should never be, "how can I afford it?". The declaration should be. "how can I not afford to take care of myself when ill health is 25 times more expensive".

We must also remember that we should not even have to list food items as "organic" or "non-organic". They were all organic only 70 years ago. Thanks to the North American model of "increasing profit at all costs" our food supply has become more chemical than mineral. The slight higher costs of organic foods should give all citizens a wake up call as to the what it costs to produce real, live, organic, healthy food. Of course food items that hurt our health will be less expensive. Plasma TVs or organic real food for an entire year? The choice is our own.

Well today lets get a good look at conventional meat (non-organic) produced from factory farming. The North American model goes something like this. Land to pasture animals is too expensive so feed the animals grain, (animals are not designed to digest grain efficiently - soy, corn, wheat), land again is too expensive so lock them inside a large barn, death of the animals is too expensive (because they get very sick when you keep them out of the sun and feed them grain) so lets spike their feed with antibiotics and make sure we move near dead animals into the food supply etc. I think you get the picture but if you do not understand, just hit the videos below. It may be time for you to meet your meat.

Here is what your local Ontario Health Unit is not letting you know. When the animals are sick they become full of viruses, bacteria and parasites. (in the same ways humans get infested with bacteria when they eat bad food, don't see the sun and don't exercise). These microscopic organisms enter your body when you eat the meat. These organisms trigger large immune responses that can cause cancer, auto-immune disorders and many seemingly unrelated diseases.

Fully organic fed, free run animals (animals who are allowed to run outside and play with their friends) are generally in great health and have dramatically less health issues as compared to the factory farmed animals highlighted above.

The only reason you eat as a human/animal is to acquire nutrition. You eat other organisms to literally absorb their life so you can live longer. These meats will obviously have very little nutritional value and that means you live a shorter more disease prone life. That is exactly the way our genes are designed. When there are food shortages the body is designed to live a shorter life. (to the body, factory farmed meat does not count as good quality nutrition)

If 80% of North Americans are over weight or diseased, what do you think is the key to being in the other 20%? The key to health is to completely disassociate yourself from the main foundation of the North American culture and that false ideology is the habit of making every decision based on money alone. Make your decisions based on health and you will become richer than you could ever imagine. The North American system will never provide good health for the majority of it's population. Change is needed and it will always start from the grass roots upwards. You can it. Just start and it will turn into a concrete habit.
