let the fat white man feed you

ugh. of all the sciences i hate (and thats most of them) i think food science is just the worst. Food? SCIENCE? how do these things go together? lets just reach right into one of the most personal, fulfilling, constant interactions between humans and the rest of the world, reduce it to numbers and zeros, and mess it all the crap up.

yup. just in the paper yesterday 1 in 3 American children are overweight, 1 in 5 obese. but no, there could not POSSIBLY be anything wrong with either the kind of food we eat (corn and processed corn and re-processed corn and meat and meat fed on corn and soybeans and corn) , or the amount of it we eat (meat three times a day is totally, totally cool).

its a religious problem. we have absolutely no relationship with any organism on the earth other than ourselves that is understood in any terms apart from the economic. nature runs on the concept of sacrifice (you die so i live then i die so you live). but we dont make those. the ancient greeks (not that i wish we were them they were awful to women) ate only meat that had been sacrificed religiously (except fish) because the sacrifice of another life to feed our own was RELIGIOUS and involved taking responsibility!!

but now im off on meat.

the point is, carrots are better for you than a bunch of little reduced carrot-nutrient pills. our bodies are complex and are meant to eat complex food. this happy man who has changed the compounds of mexican masa to include more zinc is part of an awful system, which only further alienates us from ourselves and the world.
