Rebel With a Fork

If Big Pharma has their way, your kids will be on blood pressure and cholesterol lowering drugs. They don’t care who they hurt as long as they can make a profit, right?

Oh, it doesn’t matter that recent research shows that cholsterol has nothing to do with heart attacks. As long as people happily swallow the pills, they’ll keep pushing them.

Heck, some ‘health’ gurus are still pushing soy. Many people still buy into that myth. (login and visit the Food Myths Section for more )

Here’s the latest release from the Alliance for Natural Health –
Children Are Being Exploited to Extend Pharmaceutical Patents
Want to protect your kids from high cholesterol? Just give ’em drugs—like the new, chewable form of Lipitor. Yes, chewable. Like candy. A new Action Alert asks Congress to repeal a really rotten law that encourages this.

Does that infuriate you?

You may not be as free as you think you are.

These days its not enough to just stop eating the foods that are killing billions of people, and instead eat nutritious real foods, but we have to fight for our right to do so.

Login and take advantage of your right to nutritious food.

Will being healthy make you more successful?

Not directly, but it will give you the energy and self confidence you need to make it. Besides, it’s hard to accomplish much when you don’t feel good, isn’t it?

And adding medical bills to your problems probably won’t help much either.

Here’s an old clip from Jack Lalanne on the subject –

Let’s login and plan our food for the day, OK?

I was surfing around youtube and found some old Jack Lalanne videos. You know, he’s going to be 96 in September.

I want you to see something -

Things have only gotten worse since that show was made. I wonder what the world would be like if more people had listened back then.

What do you think?

Not because the bird might fly into the pan and get burned or killed – but because the fumes from your non-stick cookware can kill it.

Seriously, there is a warning on a non-stick pan from a well respected manufacturer -

“*Keep small children away from the stove while you are cooking. Nonstick cookware can emit fumes harmful to birds. Never cook with brids or small pets in or near the kitchen..” 

Anodized cookware is supposed to be safe, but I heard a lot of complaints about handles getting hot and surfaces scratching easily, even though they’re not supposed to, and pans not looking so good after a year.

I have missed my waterless cookware ever since my ex-husband took my waterless cookware in the divorce. Can you believe it? And that stuff costs a left lung.

I was really happy to find this set, and for that price? I had to ask “Whats wrong with it?” I went into the reviews and there was only one negative review from a lady who apparently got a defective one. All of the other reviews were great.

I guess its our lucky day! Woo-Hoo!

Do you ever wonder about some of the crazy stuff going on in our food supply, and at the FDA?

I mean, why on earth would they want to remove supplements, or make it impossible for small farmers to exist?

Why would they push foods and drugs that will make you sick, or even kill you – and totally discredit anything that is naturally heatlhy?

The answer is simple, and very scary.

That way they can control you.

Once you’re in the system, they make the rules. Ask anyone on disability.

I know people who are afraid to do anything to get better because they will mess up the free money.  If someone posts a picture of you having fun on Facebook, you can lose the money.

Can you imagine living like that? Always in fear?

Its going to get worse.

More and more people will get sick every year, and more and more people will depend on the government for their very existence. You behave, or you die.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to do everything I can to stay out of the system.

Can you believe this? If you want to eat healthy and you are concerned about what you put in your body, you now have a mental disorder called orthorexia nervosa.

I know we’re not normal – but a mental disorder? That’s a bit strong, don’t you think?

Well, that’s the take on it from Mike Adams over at Natural Health (read his post here) . But he always takes things to a radical extreme. If you read the article he references, they make a good point.

There are some people who are so concerned with clean eating that they will starve themselves.  Mike Adams could clearly be suffering from this disorder. If he were to see the foods that we eat, he would shudder. He would call me a healthy eating fraud because I recommend a balanced diet. Imagine that.

Yes, I think we should do everything we can to avoid pesticides, chemicals, GMOs and such. But geez, these people take it way too far – and they are usually misinformed, or have twisted the facts to meet their agenda – exactly what they have accused big industry of doing. Extemism sells I guess.

That’s why we’re Rebels. Login and find something good to eat.
