The book explains that since humans moved from being hunter/gathers to farming food became an excellent way to control people and those in control of the food ruled. <br />Another interesting thing I heard today on radio 4 is that the government subsidizes the soft drink industry which allows the price for a totally garbage product to have a very low price, but it does not subsidize healthy food to help make it affordable. <br />Small sustainable farms with minimum use of chemicals are the way to go. Locally a young couple are doing urban organic farming along with a farmers market, they are located out close to Jefferson Point, and are called Atom Acres, I wish them well and hope that Fort Wayne is a big enough market to support they dream.<br />Ultimately a diet high in vegetable/fruit/nuts/seeds/legumes is the best bet for optimal health, with no dairy or meat. Weight issues will go away, along with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Another interesting documentary about food on Netflix is Forks Over Knives, again the government has hugely influenced what we perceive as healthy eating and what is made available for us to eat.<br /><br />All good food for thought :)<br /><br />Bean<br /><br /><br /> Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.com
