Today I started reading "In Defense of Food-an eaters manifesto" by Michael Pollan.
He is pointing out how marketing has changed our way of thinking of what to eat. In the past, our mothers learned from their mothers what to eat. Over the last 80 years or so this knowledge was lost since mother were bombarded with marketing. More so than eating a variety of foods, our focus shifted to obtaining calories, nutrients, and vitamins. There is more to foods than just the main chemicals within them.
More than likely, you are smothered by the "western diet". Your food consumption is greatly composed of refined flour, sugars, processed 'foods' and lacks in prehistoric-like foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, fish, and free-range or grass fed animals. 'Foods' because much of the product eaten is really not food, but rather lab created food substitutes. Breast milk vs baby formula for example. One is natural, the other is just some combination. The original baby formula consisted of cow's milk, wheat flour, malted flour, and potassium bicarbonate.
More on this later...
I ran in the grass a bit barefoot did some running/footwork drills, and cartwheels. It feels good to be barefoot, especially on the grass.
