I often wonder why I click on these articles sometimes I think ignorance is bliss, but then again I just cannot help myself.

I’ll be honest I didn’t even really read the article I just skimmed it.  I almost don’t really want to know all it has to say.  Just looking at the pictures alone without reading much of it you know you are probably pretty much screwed *chuckles* although it’s not funny the s*** we ingest daily that we have no idea about would probably make us sick. (well IS making us sick we just don't realize it)

 I know I was watching a show one time where they were saying how in order to get all the disease out of burger they are going to make fast good patties out of they run it through and ammonia gas.  I might not be 100% accurate on that I know they run it through something that you DON’T want to be eating, it’s a gas and its nasty and you wouldn’t think about putting it into your mouth in a 1000 years if you had a choice, yet we do it every day IF we eat fast food.

 And yes you goody two shoes who don’t eat fast food can pat yourself on the back and get your gold star at the door.  Me personally I don’t eat fast food so I don’t have to worry *snickers* Well I try not to eat it anyways I have not been in the drive thru in a good long while now.  That doesn’t mean I am not ingesting who knows what through the rest of my food though.

 I wonder the amount of work it would take to investigate every piece of food I put in my mouth for an entire month, no that’s too long I don’t think I can stick with that, I think I’ll use my tried and true 12step ideal of just worrying about the next 24 hours.  I can keep track of all that stuff for 24 hours and see what really I am putting into my body.  Now I am not saying I am going to do it tomorrow or anything but soon,  I’ll put it on my to do list, I said soon, HEY GET OFF MY BACK ILL DO IT.. got dammit your pushy.

  I’m still not doing it tomorrow :P  I’ll pick a day here right off to track every piece of food I eat and see if I can determine everything that’s in it and break it all down into a list and then further track what each individual ingredient is and how it affects us or what potential side effect it may or may not have.  My brain is starting to hurt just thinking about it.


I have thought about going totally organic insane.  Eat nothing that contains any preservatives of any kind, eat as close to how nature produces it as possible, articles like this make me think I should do this sooner or later but can I really do it?

 First off living in a small town in northern Maine and having the
gardening skills of Freddy Krueger (it’s a pop culture reference and for those of you lazy b****** who won’t Google it, suffice to say I’m no gardener)

Can I afford to eat organic?

Can I even find enough food to sustain myself without having to eat something with preservatives and additives in it?

Again living in a small town makes some of these difficult, those of you who live in large cities and can do this easily you should know I have nothing but nasty names for you out of jealousy and I hope you realize how good you have it.
One 24 hour period to try and eat truly “healthy” can it be done? I would like to think so but I am not going out to kill my own food, I don’t hunt, I don’t fish, I am not really into killing much of anything, well except slow drivers and hippies.  I respect what you hippies are trying to do I love the message but something in me wants to gun you down with the car, I’m sorry I can’t help it.  If you see me coming you better drop your pot and your tambourine and run.


In case you haven’t figured it out yet my goal is to for 24 hours simply eat as nature intended me too.  How I can do this?  I really have no clue as of yet.  I’ll track everything I put in my mouth if I do eat things with additives I will list them and try to research them.  If I cannot figure out what’s in something I won’t eat it, which should be interesting seeing as how I like salad and how am I really going to know if it was treated with something or not when I am in the veggie section?

Should prove for a very interesting Mr. Wizard experiment for me, granted no one else might think it’s interesting and that’s fine (obscene gesture) I was just pointing out how pretty the sky looks right now.
Well as usual I have taken the focus off the article and put it on myself.  I am starting to turn into one of those shameless attention wh***s like the Real Housewives or some of the Jersey Shore cast.  I’d like to tell you I am ashamed of myself but that would be a lie.

In all seriousness I doubt the article really tells us anything we don’t already know.  What the article DOES do it put it right out in our face and make us admit what we don’t want to that were probably shoving stuff into our bodies every day that is slowly poisoning us and that we should be doing a better job of watching what goes into us, which we really don’t want to do.  We SAY we want to do that but when it comes down to it and you have to read every freaking label and figure out what ever freaking ingredient is that’s when our conviction starts to waver, and again for you A+ students who do this already you are gods among men and us mere mortals bow before you, now take your snotty better than thou attitude and scram.

Yes I’m cranky, the got d**n food companies have me p****d off now, because you KNOW they count on our ignorance and our laziness to not pay attention to what they are really doing.  Alright I am getting all riled up and into rant mode and its past my bed time, read the article, don’t read the article.  We can learn to read labels and know what we are looking at or we can keep sticking our heads in the sand.  We can try and live healthy and eat healthy, IF we can afford it and IF we can find the food we need to sustain us.
