For years, people have been eating egg white omelets, which in my opinion are an abomination, and today I have seen an article explaining that egg yolks contain choline, which helps stave off Alzheimer’s. My daughter once said to me that she no longer knew what to eat, because the list of what is good for you and what is bad keeps changing all the time. We evolved eating real food. The entire egg, meat, fish, fruits, veg, whole grains. Then food companies thought up new ways to make food more profitable and started scaring us about this so we would buy that instead.

Eat real food, as it comes from the garden or the tree or the ocean or the animal. Eat a variety. Stay away from sugar, stay away from artificial sweeteners, which only allow you to eat things that are really bad for you with less guilt. Remember fat-free? In order to have taste, fat-free was actually sugar-laden. Duck Duck Go sugar. Sugar is not your friend. You can have cake, pie, candy, etc., just don’t eat the whole cake, don’t have pie every single day, don’t snack on candy all the time. Make those things a special occasion treat. A once a week reward for eating really well that week. (Duck Duck Go is a search engine, if you didn’t know)

I have this MS weather thingy in my side bar, and if I accidentally hover over it, it opens up Microsoft Start, which has literally hundreds of articles about which food is good for you, which is bad, which food you should never buy from which store, etc. Thousand of words that amount to click-bait meaningless drivel about food. Zillions of diets out there. This one is THE one this year, it’s really bad for you the next year and another one has taken top spot.

What are the food groups? Who knows? Meat, fish, and poultry. Fruits and veg. Whole grains. Dairy if your body tolerates it. Everything else is not food. It is gimmicks and chemicals and garbage designed to entice you to give that company your money and forget about nutrition. And everything you eat does not need to have sugar in it. I have read that people from other countries consider our bread to be more like cake, because of the sugar content. You can add maybe a teaspoon of sugar to a yeast dough to feed the yeast. No more is necessary. Bread is flour, yeast, salt and water. Read the labels of your store-bought bread. Read the labels of any processed food. Some things have five or six different forms of sugar as ingredients. Why do young people get cancer more now than ever? Why is there so much obesity? Sugar and chemicals in everything we eat. We did not evolve to eat these things and our bodies struggle to manage having them ingested.

Wow. No idea why I am ranting about this today, but something clearly set me off. LOLOL

By the way, this rant is by a person who had a Pure Protein bar for breakfast, and two hot dogs for lunch. Oh, and a Kombucha, but that is a good thing, I think. 🙂
