Cook for Yourself

{A Written Practice}

Cook for Yourself

If you want to know what you are eating, make it 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.

Who taught us this?

One of the most direct feedback mechanisms in wellbeing is between what we eat and how we feel. If you want to know what you are eating, making it youself is the simplest way to ensure the simplicity and purity of ingredients, because much of industrial food production is augmented with fillers and additives for flavor and shelf stabilization. Certainly there are many food producers on the natural side of things, but making it yourself is also a restorative practice. Some of us had the good fortune to grow up around people who liked to cook. Others of us have learned it along the way.
