Cook for Yourself

Cook for Yourself

Do you know what butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) is? How about Sodium Benzoate? Sulphur dioxide? Monosodium glutamate? Autolyzed yeast extract? Disodium buanylate? How do you like eating those chemicals, because you are eating those chemicals.

Wanna know what you are eating? Make it yourself. Go to the farmer’s market (or your garden), and make something whose origins you can trace back to the ground, or the farm. Cook with simple fresh ingredients and you know what is going in your body.

You are a cosmically engineered creature made in the image of the Divine. Treat your body like the intelligence it is. Do you think it doesn’t notice when you put things in it that aren’t natural?

In industrial slaughterhouses, the smell of terror is so thick that the animals know what is coming long before they are executed. This creates the release of cascades of hormones that suffuse the body of the animal, permeating its tissues, filling them with all the flavors of trauma. When it is killed, those end up in your steak. You are eating another animal’s terror. Humane animal husbandry is not only for the animal. It means that you are not having to metabolize another animal’s trauma chemistry.

Industrial agriculture glazes your produce in a poison chemical bath. You then eat that glaze, which doesn’t come of when you rinse it, because part of it has been absorbed by the fruit. Why are you willing to eat that? And don't even get me started talking about GMOs.
