Namaste and welcome to my blog. Thank you for joining me today, my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers as I talk about eating out at fast food and casual sit down restaurants. Join me, if you will, as we explore this topic.
It has come to my attention recently how much I hear others complain about getting sick when they eat out at restaurants. At first I took all the input with a grain of salt. Having worked extensively in the food and restaurant industry I wrote much of these complaints off on poor food handling and spread of foodborne illness. After all, the food industry (especially not-so-fast food) is notorious for hiring young people that have little experience and knowledge of proper food-handling procedures, safe storage of food, and food temperature control.
As I peeled back the layers of the onion, the answer actually came after having a conversation about the subject with my wife, a.k.a. Hunny Bear. She and I have both overheard co-workers complain of these issues recently regarding diarrhea, cramping, and bloating, and a few times vomiting after eating at a few places that are "notorious" for similar complaints. Again, I could have wrote this information off as heresay and conjecture, but a light bulb went on, rather, above my head, and the issue became clear.
It occurred to me that much of the same complaints about eating out were the same complaints others had made about their dietary choices in general. Almost as if I had a tray of puzzle pieces with no picture, it all came together. It was WHAT they are eating that is making them sick, NOT WHERE.
Greasy fatty foods made from meat, cheese, and other forms of dairy (like sour cream and nacho cheese), with little or no fresh vegetables or nutritional value. This leads to an imbalance in good bacteria vs bad bacteria and yeast in the gut, which leads to inflammation and illness.
I discovered in all too many people that poor dietary choices are often blamed on the restaurants rather than on SELF. Processed foods, refined sugars, trans fats, overused salt, and empty carbs can be found in a LOT of restaurant fare and on the shelves of your local grocers.
You really are what you eat and your body is like a machine. Garbage in = garbage out. This is especially true for children who need fresh foods like fruits and vegetables to provide energy for the mind and body. Adults too. Imagine your body like a racecar; a real high performance machine. You wouldn't want to put crappy fuel and oil into that engine, so why would you cram your stomach full of crappy fuel? Not all calories are made the same. Processed sweeteners, refined carbs, and greasy, fatty animal products and byproducts are slowing down the performance of your machine, the human body.
Countless illnesses, scientists are discovering, are DIRECTLY linked to the diet we consume. Heart disease, high cholesterol, a multitude of cancers, obesity, liver disease, asthma, diabetes, thyroid disorders, g.i. disorders (IBS, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, cramping, bloating, GERD, colitis, etc.), mental health disorders like add and adhd, autism symptoms, etc... and that's all on top of the rise of foodborne illnesses like botulism, salmonella, and e. coli, for example, due to improper handling of food, especially meat and dairy.
Animals that are raised for meat are one of the biggest lies of bull shit currently happening on this planet as rain forests are being torn down for animal agriculture that is wasteful, destructive, and cruel. The amount of food and water it takes to raise one cow, for example, could feed dozens of people, but only 1 animal that is up to its knees or higher standing in its own feces/shit. This animal is cancerous, full of sores, welts, pus pockets, and disease, yet this "food" is just washed off and deemed fit for human consumption by corrupt government agencies like the FDA and USDA (owned and buying off politicians since the inception of this country) that are PAID to look away from the abuse, disease, and horror of modern animal agriculture. These animals are pumped full of cheap filler, then hormones and antibiotics given to stave off illness the animal gets from standing in tight spaces with thousands of other animals all shitting where they eat and sleep. Again, you are what you eat. Eating obese disgusting animals filled with cancers and disease is turning our population into obese disgusting animals filled with cancers and disease. This isn't rocket science, my friends. This is just logic; facts that our own negligent government has been trying to hide for years. Thanks to the Internet and millions of concerned citizens of other nations, the REAL science is coming out and it is HORRIFYING! This is an epidemic AND a scam of vast proportions and we, as humans, need to wake up to the reality that this system of lies and garbage we are ingesting, both in our minds and bodies, is going to be the death of us all. Animal agriculture is killing our rivers, lakes, and oceans with toxic chemical waste and feces. And it's killing our minds and bodies with toxic side effects you don't get from eating your fruits and vegetables. In addition to the health issues from eating an animal based diet, animal agriculture produces more greenhouse gases annually than ALL automobiles COMBINED!!! Plus then you add in all the food, that could be fed to humans directly, >70% that is wasted feeding it to another animal, then to eat that animal, just to get recycled proteins that the consumed animal originally got from the organic produce it originally ate. Why can't we just skip a step and feed the food directly to the millions of people that are malnourished and hungry? MONEY IS WHY! Because feeding the hungry masses might just be something Jesus would have done. Not here in America, though... destroying the planet for a profit to grow animals for us to eat when we could just eat the plants instead of feeding them to the animal first. Sheer insanity. And if meat tastes so good, why not consume it raw? Why the need for cooking? Spices and seasonings? Marinades and other sauces to COVER the taste of the meat?
This is the end of my discourse. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I really just want to open up the minds of others to different ideas other than what the system teaches us to regurgitate on command. We've been duped, lied to, and poisoned for far too long. It's time to become "WOKEN" and heal the planet by eating plants, not animals. By planting trees and gardens; growing our own food and giving the middle fingers to the same system that is lying to you about war, animal agriculture, diseases, and "healthcare" via endless doping from the pharmaceutical industry. YOU CAN EITHER HAVE THE PHARM-ACY or the FARM-ACY. Choose wisely my friends. Read and educate yourself about how to start small and incorporate more plant based foods into your diet rather than meat, eggs, dairy, cheese, butter, lard, hydrogenated oils, refined and processed sugars, HFCS, and empty carbs. This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.
P.S. When you first start a plant based diet you will be very bloaty and gassy, at first. There is an adjustment period as your body gets retuned to eating what nature intended. Stay with it. Save the lives of thousands of other animals. Save the rainforests. Save the lives of yourself and your family.
Peace. Love. Respect. Truth. Health.
