The Politics of Bingeing

By: Nancy Jerominski (View Profile)

The food companies know exactly what this stuff does. It’s why they liberally spike their garbage with it and why they spend so much money to convince us otherwise. They work very hard to be sure no one can eat just one. Americans oblige, spending billions, literally starving their way to obesity, which waddles around in the middle of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

Pharmaceutical companies fork out billions brainwashing a dulled, sick society that the only way to be well is to take their wonder pills. Food companies spend just as much telling us the health benefits of their products. So, people take the drugs to treat the symptoms that manifest from eating all the unhealthy and “healthy” crap. As they get sicker, the drug companies make more pills. More inventive junk, more inventive pills, new improved junk, new improved pills. Food and drug companies get richer; we get poorer—and not just in our wallets.

Doesn’t that make you mad?

My own regained vitality from a fifteen year career as a drunk, coke addict, and smoker is a testament to my return to traditional nutrition based on my metabolic type. I eat plenty of CERTIFIED ORGANIC red meat, whole raw milk, cheese, butter, tons of veggies, nuts, seeds, some fruit, sparse amounts of sprouted grain and lots of pure water with a pinch of unprocessed Celtic sea salt. I am of the opinion that it is the all the refined garbage, conventionally raised animals and genetically engineered crops that are harmful to us. Because evolution happens when it happens and we are ancient beings at the cell, unscrupulous greedy corporations engineer their “food” so we can’t stop eating it. Whatever animals eat and plants are injected with, we eat. I’m a functionally fit, 51 year old woman with a body fat of around 21 percent I eat between 3,000 and 4,000 calories a day and I work out three hours a week, with nice walks to complement. No cravings, no bingeing, no night sweats, no hormone replacement therapy, no wonder drugs.
