societies view on health food is sad...

Man I hear you. I would bring oats and a banana to class and nobody could understand why I actually enjoyed eating it. It might not taste as good as junk food but it feels so good to eat well.

 

What most people think is cool is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mediocrity.

Anyone that doesn't follow that lifestyle challenges their carefully held on to beliefs. So they try to pull you into their mediocrity instead of making the effort to explore a better way.

Make a habit of doing things that nobody else is doing. Live a bold, daring, and dangerous life that is criticized by others. Do more things that most people don't accept you or understand you for.

 

You need to eat meat, too.

 

People will judge everything you do, either you eat McCheese or vegetables for lunch.

 

I think it is because 90% of the contemporary society still thinks that it doesn't matter what you put to your mouth, thus, you can eat whatever you want. They respect the fact that one little pill might affect your body, for example, painkillers, but they hardly ever realize that food you feed yourself with is much more important.

 

Gotta get the brotein one way or another lol, I eat a lot of meat but I agree with @BravelyKegger

 

Because their relationship to food is instinctual, and the instinct is craving. (probably mostly for sugar, salt and fat) I remember this one kid looking at a green drink going "eww" like green is unnatural, which I guess it is to him. (it wasn't even wheatgrass or anything, actually had a lot of sugar from fruit) And this was in a program for a health care related field. I was in a chat room and this kid was arguing reading books is stupid, and he can just get the same story from movies instead of reading novels. This is the kind of simple thinking we're dealing with these days.

 

Yeah.... also, the fact that so much of what is good for you is expensive.... e.g. fresh fruit versus buying an economy size jar of fruit in corn syrup....huge price difference.

This is where I tend to put my tinfoil hat on and say that at least some of that is.... eh.... take your pick of consipiracy theory text that alludes to some combination of those with financial interests in big businesses and/or health industry not wanting humans to eat healthier because it effects their bottom line.

I digress.
