Better to invest in buying and eating organic food

According to this article, Monsanto is the evil corporation in our refrigerators.

While some people may say that the above article is just a conspiracy theory, I believe there is some hint of truth in some "conspiracy theories", and there are indeed many reasons for people to question the practices of Monsanto, which appear to harm the environment and human health, as well as impose unfair treatments on farmers. For one, I have come to see that genetically modified food is mostly against natural processes of plant growth, and tinkling with nature can result in ecological harm, such as causing superweeds to grow, as noted by the article. I think I also read somewhere that GM wheat contains excess gluten that can be hard for many people to digest properly, and result in gluten intolerance, compared to organically grown wheat.

So yea, it is better to invest in buying organic foods where possible, because though they are generally more expensive than mass produced GM foods or processed foods, we actually save money in the long run in terms of healthcare because at least we are assured we can stay healthy and have less risk of health complications that may be caused by eating too much GM foods. It is good for people to make informed decisions in buying food, thanks to articles such as the above article to create awareness.

Dumbing down of the masses

"Diet, injections and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so"

Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society 1953

I think there is some grain of truth because according to some articles in Natural News website that I have read, the government's plan to add fluoride to public water may well be an attempt to "dumb down" or affect the mental capability of the masses, which may in turn affect their critical thinking ability and not question the government's propaganda too much. Here's an example of an article that discusses the possible links between fluoride and lower IQ levels in humans, and learning and memory impairment, among other symptoms.

"In all, FAN said, 34 studies now link fluoride to lower IQ levels in humans, while scores of other studies correlate fluoride to learning and memory impairment, fetal brain damage, altered neurobehavioral function and altered thyroid hormone levels."

I suppose it would be advisable for the public to install water filters in their homes, where they can, in view of this finding.

Here's sharing this video that discusses the possibility of the population being subject to chemical manipulation through vaccinations and fluoride in water supply.

"Why is America so brainwashed by the corporate media? Why do we care more about American Idol and sports games than being poisoned with mercury in our vaccinations and sodium fluoride in our water supply? America needs to wake up and get the facts about our chemical manipulation before it's too late."

This website suggests some ways to remove fluoride from our daily water consumption and activities - I think I will start looking for fluoride-free toothpastes in health stores in future too.

"1) If you're using a fluoridated toothpaste, consider switching to a non-fluoridated alternative (which you can find at most health food stores)"

The following website summarises the various ways the authorities seem to be using to dumb down the modern society - I think this happens not only in America but also in other modern cities such as Singapore. These ways include chemtrails, processed food, fast food, HD TV and video games and other entertainment. http://adventofdeception.com/dumbing-down-through-chemtrails-hd-tv-and-food/

Speaking of entertainment, I used to play computer games quite a lot when I was younger in my school days, and I have grown out of it since the early 2000s. I suppose I too was subject to the subtle manipulation of the authorities by being distracted by computer gaming, instead of being more aware and concerned about social issues in life, so to speak.

What we consume affects us

"Now I wonder how much human suffering – sickness, psychosis, ignorance, broken relationships, injustice, even war – is caused from industrialized food." ~ from "The Food Lone Ranger"

 I think it's helpful to read the above-mentioned blog about the author's experiences on how the body would tend to be sensitive to processed or industrialized food after detoxing with natural foods or supplements, which reminds me of what you shared from your own experiences too. I googled about it just now and learnt this is commonly observed by food nutritionists. This website also suggests taking probiotics and ginger tea, among other natural supplements, regularly to support digestion and continue detoxifying the body.

Post Detox Guidelines | After your detox retreat

"You get very sensitive on a detox retreat, transition to a normal diet. ... Healthy juices, probiotics, kefir, both water and dairy,natural yoghurt, fermented soy like tempeh or natto, fermented ..."

I also googled and learnt that industrialised food tends to desensitise one's taste buds. I wonder if the same kind of food would desensitise a person in other ways too. Given that a person would feel more energetic and think more clearly after detoxing and abstaining from processed food such as sugar and genetically modified wheat, perhaps this might mean that those who continue to eat much processed food regularly would not be able to think as clearly or feel as deeply about human concerns, which in turn may result in injustice and conflicts in the world in the long run. So perhaps there is some connection between processed food and human suffering because what we consume do affect us in some ways.
