It will come at no surprise that we are in one of the unhealthiest points in the history of our country. Not only is our country unhealthy, but the health crisis is rapidly becoming a pandemic. This is unrelated to the most recent pandemic scheme and the upcoming scheme on the near horizon. This is relative to how we as a race, the human race, have allowed ourselves to slip into the routines that big corporations have been targeting through the millions of dollars spent on marketing. Those same corporations spend merely a fraction of marketing budget on healthy lifestyle choices. As long as they can get you to buy their product, they have obtained their goal.
We aren’t talking about one particular industry alone. We aren’t dismissing them, either. The greedy hands are in many pockets besides yours. Big pharma is one industry that has become synonymous with health care, when it is actually unhealth-care. It is a losing proposition for them to invest in the health of an infdividual because they will lose customers. Instead, they inject their products into grocey stores shelves and market young and old, rich and poor, male and female, and every flesh tone on the planet. Big pharma is in collusion with the health and beauty industry, and the food industry.
It is the pharmaceutical companies that make the vaccines, antibiotics, and innoculations for the animals that are slaughtered every day so they can land on your table through your local retailer. It is that same industry that operates with pesticide and herbacide companies to spray poison on plants that you later consume in what some mistakenly think are healthy food choices. Those same industries are spraying and injecting poisons onto plants that eventually become the clothes you wear, the personal hygeine products you smear on your body and jam into your flesh – the largest living organ you have.
There is poison applied at the point of origin before plants and animals become viable, and it continues all the way through the growth and harvesting processes. It doesn’t stop there. When those products are placed on a truck or railroad car, they are sprayed again with yet another, and more than likely different, poison. They say it is to keep you, the consumer safe.
You know that is untrue! They don’t care about your safety. They care about how much money they can take from you, whether voluntary or knowingly, or not. Big corporatins have no conscience. They only care about profits. That is why they push so hard in the marketing of their product, their “stuff”. They want to separate you from your money what ever it takes. nd, that includes killing you. Of course, in the corporate world it is called something different and nobody is punished for it because, after all, you consumed the product willingly.
It is time for us to put an end to making those mega corporations profitable at the expense of our society, of our children, of our partners, of our friends – four legged ones included. We have to do this on many fronts, and the biggest one is our food suppliers. We have to stop buying processed foods that are chock full of unhealthy ingredients that isn’t even real stuff. Many ingredients are the bi-product of manufacturing something else and there is no other way to dispose of it except by calling it an additive and getting the FDA to approve it for use in food. We all know that the human body is one of the best filtration systems on the earth. What better way to purify a bi-product than to flush it through a living, breathing filtration system where all the toxins and heavy metals will pool until the body has had enough and becomes unwell.
The results can be observed all around you. There are people who have illnesses today that didn’t exist only a few decades ago. When it was discovered that obesity, diabetes, heart disease, mental illness and much more was related to the poinsons being consumed as food, food products, or food additives, people who changed their lifestyle and eating habits began to improve, naturally, with their health. In fact, some health disorders actually disappeared, they just “went away”. Doctors won’t explain it, because they only profit from the fraud perpetrated on the people, their families and their pets.
The health of our nation has for several years been considered a risk to national security. Although an opponent to the military industrial complex, the people in charge of the armed services have a deep concern for the health of those who serve and the health of their nation; and, rightly so. They should be concerned.
One of the priorities for the Eccentric Bohemian is sourcing healthy food choices. We make this a priority upon arrival at every destination whether nationally or internationally. We connect with as many locals as possible to find the best farm-to-table and fair-trade resources in the areas. No only does this provide immediate food sources, it engages us with the community on a very deep level. We develop functional relationships and build friendships while building community. Albeit a small portion of funding remains out of the corporate coffers, we feel our contributions better serve the immediate communities rather than the pilfering that occurs as funds trickle down the corporate chains. Please note we do not endorse any specific location and suggest visitors reach their own conclusions.
