Its unfortunate that the average person doesn't understand just how toxic our environment is to us. Think about what you did today. You wake up and your thirsty. You go to the sink and get yourself some water. STOP! Do you know whats in that water? Well depending upon where you live there can and likely is chlorine, flouride, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, and even medication residue. Yah, free meds! And in the convenience of your own home! Then you probably go and take a nice hot, steamy shower. All that chlorine in that water turns to gas and you get to breathe it in for a nice 10-15 minutes. Not to mention alot of that lovely stuff in the water that I mentioned above gets absorbed into your skin. Nothing like a shower to get you nicely relaxed. Your hungry so you grab an apple, a breakfast bar, and a glass of milk. Ever look at the ingredients list of the food you eat? Well that oh so nutritious bar, that is low in fat by the way which makes it the best thing in the world you could possibly eat, has high fructose corn syrup in it, possibly dextrose or maltodextrose. Artificial flavors. Mmmmm, I can't wait to taste those chemicals in there that have been put together in a lab by those crafty scientists in an attempt to make the cheapest ingredient possible. These ingredients are quite bad for you by the way, trust me. Drink down that milk! It's recommended that you get roughly 3 cups of that antibiotic ridden beverage a day. Thats right, most cows are pumped full of antibiotics because overmilking, and using harmful procedures makes those cows prone to infections, hence the antibiotics. At least you won't be getting an infection anytime soon! Those same cows don't get any exercise, making them unhealthy. Making the milk unhealthy. They are fed cheap grain. They evolved on eating grass by the way, so them eating an unnatural diet makes the milk unnatural. That makes as much sense as keeping a lion alive by feeding it chocolate chip cookies. Although I've heard that those lions have a sweet tooth... Oh, and that milk is pasteurized, killing most of the nutrients in that milk. Wear that milk mustache with pride! Just think how tasty that apple is going to be! Apparently polishing off that apple with insecticides and fungicides adds to the sweetness of an apple. Sure you washed it off first before eating. Guess what, when those poisons are applied to the fruit its absorbed into the fruit itself. No amount of washing is going to get that out. Think of it this way, if I give you an apple that I just sprayed with raid would you eat it? Perhaps if your mildly retarded. What if I wash it off then give it to you? Your not even going to touch that apple. Oh and its worth mentioning that its been estimated that pesticides used in spraying crops are up to 12 times more powerful then whats in a bottle of raid. Not too mention that that apple could of been irradiated (depending where it came from) with ionizing energy to kill off some bacteria and improve shelf life. This also has the side effect of destroying much of the nutrional value of the apple. Feel free to apply these facts to other fruits and vegetables that you eat. And also, I can't wait until our food is genetically modified. Something about eating an unnatrual piece of frankenstein fruit appeals to me. Uh oh, your late for work! Jump into your car and fight traffic. Your getting stressed out, better roll down that window for some fresh air. Air pollution from industry as well as the 20 cars around you should make you and your lungs feel better. You pick up your cell phone and call work. It takes 10 minutes to convince your boss that your late because you've been dodging a mass murderer. Thats 10 minutes of electromagnetic frequences literally microwaving your brain and suppressing your immune system. You get to work and your boss yells at you, and you have one hell of a stressful day. Stress is a great way to surpress your immune system also, making you more susceptible to virtually every illness and infection out there. As long as you get paid, its worth it though. Right? You come home and want to relax with a bit of junk food. Who cares, you've had a stressful day, go nuts. Your watching your weight, so you go for that diet coke. It has to be good for you, it has 0 calories. Wrong! Aspartame is poisonous, it does many harmful things to you. In fact its been shown that diet coke is actually worse then regular coke for packing on those pounds. Ironic eh? Have some doritos. All there is is a little MSG, which is an excitotoxin which excites neurons to the point of cell death, as well as many other wonderful things. It's bed time, time to take your medicine! Take those antidepressents, or heart medication! It's not like drugs radically alter your bodies chemistry or anything. Its not like theres a list of harmful side effects that drastically outnumber the benefits the drug gives you. It's not like the drug will give you new symptoms in which you will ironically need more drugs to suppress. Its not like drugs only fix symptoms of a disorder instead of fixing the root problem. Make sure you take your antibiotics for that sinus infection you have too. Sure it kills off the bacteria that it causes the infection, but a little birdy told e that our bodies are full of beneficial bacteria that are essential to proper functioning. Guess what, those antibiotics kill our good bacteria also. This can lead to a wealth of problems I couldn't possibly sum up here. Oh and antibiotics are in a ton of products nowadays, from soap to the very food you eat. Brush your teeth with some toothpaste with flouride in it. Its not like you get enough flouride from your water. Guzzle that scope, it has 25 essential poisons that you cannot live without. Jump into bed. I hope all the fungus and poisons from the materials that your house is built with that are floating around in your air doesn't keep you up at night. Sleep well, you get to do the same routine tommorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the day after, for the rest of your toxic life.
My point obviously, is that were exposed to an umimaginable amount of toxins. I talk sarcastically not to belittle or criticize you if you do these things, but because I find it hilarious how these things come to be. Our food is produced in such a way that its unnutritious, and chalk full of things that are literally poisonous to us. How the hell is this possible? Isn't the government suppose to be looking out for these types of things? Yes they are, and they know how dangerous many of these things are. They know that aspartame, MSG, flouride as well as a ton of other things are dangerous to us. It doesn't matter though. Certain people simply make too much money from allowing these things to continue on. Certain people from certain businesses pay certain people in positions of power in the form of donations or whatnot to allow certain things to happen. Sometimes these certain people in power even retire to find themselves in cushy jobs making huge amounts of money because they conspired with certain businesses. Its really all about the money. Example alert: why use expensive healthy flavoring to make something tasty when you can use cheap and dangerous MSG to fool someones brain into thinking that that thing is tasty (MSG actually does this by the way). Even if they save only 10 cents in the production of a bag of doritoes by using MSG, times that by the millions and millions of bags out there in the world and you get a shit load of money. Cut people with positions of power in on that money and all of a sudden MSG is legal and perfectly healthy. This happens with many ingredients, preservatives, additives. To them, our health is not important. Money is Important. Food is not the only thing that is toxic. Some house materials are toxic, lotions, moisturizers, cleaning agents, make-up, plastics, deodorants, air fresheners, metal in dental work. Cell phones and other sources of electro magnetic fields suppress your immune system, and have other adverse effects. Microwaves change the chemistry of food when you use it making it unhealthy to eat, as well as killing the nutritional value. You name it, chances are theres something about it that is toxic. I'm not saying that literally everything that negatively impacts are health is a product of remorseless greed. Some of it is simply ignorance and neglect. Many things are simply not tested properly. Much is not tested in the long term. Certain cleaing agents have been known to attribute to cancer in people. Maybe if proper testing was done many people would still be alive. What about drugs. They are so insanely dangerous for you its mind boggling. How many doctor prescribed medications were taken off the market because they were literally killilng people. Doctors are prescribing drugs to people like they are candy, for the most minor problems. But drugs make people money, mostly the drug companies and health care industries. Even doctors get payed incentives for prescribing drugs. Thats why they are prescribed for every minor problem that people have with their bodies, and thats why relatively cheap and unpatentable natural remedies for ailments are supressed in favor of dangerous medications. But thats another rant... I understand how some people NEED drugs. Sure you need insulin shots because your diabetic. I'm sorry it came to that, I truly am. But why did it come to that? Is it because of the cumlative effects of all these toxins coupled with improper nutrition (not necessarly your fault mind you), day after day, taking its toll on your body? I'm sure that most ailments and diseases are caused because of the environment that we live in. So what is it I'm protesting? I suppose those that are in control. Those that don't give a flying fuck about us or our health. Those whose sole driving force is accquiring money. Those who are utterly failing at protecting us. I've stated alot in this thread. Don't believe what I say? Do some research. You'll find many fascinating things that were exposed to that will blow your mind. Yes I've been vague on many things here. But I wanted to keep this post shorter than a dictionary. Any questions, ask away. We live in a toxic world. Take care people.
Good points. Have you read any Derrick Jensen? You might find something in common with him. I found his book Endgame to be pretty good.
Yes, well, you did indeed type this on a computer. A computer which was made in a factory, which utilized fossil fuels, pumped pollution into the atmosphere, and is using energy every second you browse the internet.
I think I may have drank water at some point in my life. Back before I knew any better I would drink tap water. Then I got curious and started asking questions. The water I drink now is run through a reverse osmosis filter, as well as several other filters. This effectively elimates heavy metals, chlorine, and flouride.
Well most of the electricity that is used where I live is produced by water, which is a renewable resource and doesn't create pollution. And I'm not overly concerned with the miniscule amount my laptop uses for internet. As for my laptop itself, it was worth the pollution it that was created so I can have a career among many many other things made possible by owning it. Energy conservation wasn't really my point in this thread. Nor was it about producing as little pollution as possible.
THANK YOU for pointing all this out to the masses! It pisses me off daily. I think they are poisoning everyone on purpose in order to keep the medical profession busy and so that people will die off younger so that Social Security won't be hit so hard... Anyone who starts tossing out criticism at you for posting this, well, does the word "idiots" ring a bell? The POINT is that it is virtually impossible to stay away from all the poisons and manmade chemical soup placed upon this planet by OTHER idiots. I mean, where are ya gonna go? Even if you live way out in the woods and live off wild roots and berries and only drink fresh spring water, and never touch a computer or a car, there are jets flying over with their chemtrails, and in some places they are always wanting to spray the woods for destructive insects.... It's no wonder there is an epidemic of mental and physical illness. And there is no way to know just how long we could all live if we were NOT exposed to all the B.S. daily. Maybe our life expectancy would raise dramatically? On the positive side, my theory is that if you do ALL you can to live healthy, and I do mean ALL, then the rest of the crap you accidentally get exposed to won't harm you as much as it could otherwise because you are basically strong.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit. A sick population is one that can be treated with drugs and surgery. Drugs and surgery make certain people money...ALOT of money. What makes people sick? Pretty much everything I listed above. Good incentive to allow people to be sick, or even make them sick intentionally. The next question is who makes this toxic lifestyle possible? Hmmm stuff like MSG in food makes people sick. Drugs treat people for their sickness, and its a lucrative industry. What kind of organizations regulate the use of both categories I wonder? Hey anyone know what the FDA stands for? Whats the definition of a lobbyist? I'm not implying anything, I just think anything is possible. I don't want this moved to the conspiracy forums. Thats exactly my stance. Avoid all you can within reason. You can't protect yourself from all of it, but the more you avoid the healthier your going to be. People should know what theyre are exposed to. It's their right to know.
