Why We Eat What We Eat

12/3/2015

Everyone seems to have an answer as to why we eat what we eat...and then a way to change it for the healthier.

Here's the truth. Why we eat what we eat is different for EVERYONE! And, until we realize this, we'll continue arguing solution methods until we're mad.

Share this! Learn from it! It's the best, most complete explanation of "Determinants of Food Choice".

Happy learning!

Gut (biome) Check!

After enough time is wasted and research money is pissed away, in the end...donuts and Cheetos will still NOT be health foods. Spinach and broccoli will still be.

Gut biome...shmut biome!

Recent studies showing how human beings differ in the processing/metabolizing of the same food is raising eyebrows! Not mine!

EVERY human being will respond differently to EVERY food. We're ALL different! However, what's in your gut is less important than the overall PATTERN of eating, over time. To parse an individual diet into individual foods for the perfect individual shot at health and longevity is just INSANE...and uniquely American.

The longest-lived, disease-free people on the planet in the Blue Zones don't give a shit about any of this. They just eat real food, lots of veggies, drink a little wine, dance, relax, move a lot every day, and have a sense of purpose.

Creating the PERFECT tailored diet is INSANE for the general population!!!!

We eat too much added sugar, added fat, refined carbs, processed shit, fried shit, and junk. That's it. More veggies, less junk is a great start. It doesn't need to be perfect.

This gut stuff is insane. Next we'll be learning about colon bacteria. Who gives a shit (pun intended)?

Fork and mouth biome trumps gut biome...which is just a new way for research dweebs to get funding and others to make excuses for poor eating and poor health.

We eat horribly (below). It makes us sick.

We simply need to start with eating LESS horribly by eating less YELLOW, more GREEN.

No gut check needed!!!

Dismissed!!

The Wizardry of Dr. Oz's Own Words

6/24/2014

Comments

On June 17th, in front of the Senate Commerce Committee's subcommittee investigating weight loss fraud, those of us that watched, witnessed a REAL, never-seen-before, once-in-a-lifetime, MIRACLE from Dr. Oz...the simple truth.

Embedded in Dr. Oz's "flowery", defensive testimony in front of the committee were two simple questions posed by Senator Dean Heller.

Dr. Oz's two answers (rarely publicly spoken, simple truth) deserve to be echoed throughout the internet, in newspapers across the country, and should be part of a required printed and audible disclaimer (warning label) at the beginning and end of every Dr. Oz episode!

Simple Question #1

Senator Heller (to Dr. Oz):

"Do you believe there's a miracle pill out there?"

Dr. Oz:

"There's not a pill that's gonna help you long term lose weight and live the best life...without diet and exercise."

Simple Question #2

Senator Heller:

"What works for MOST people?"

Dr. Oz:

"What works for most people...is a diet based on real food...that comes out of the ground, looking the way it looks when you eat it, not been processed...with some physical activity.

Most of weight loss, I believe, is about the food choices you make.

Most of keeping your weight low is about the physical activity you engage in."

-----------------------------------------------

That's it. Done! Everything else that comes out of his mouth is for ratings (and everything that comes with it).

For the most part, getting weight loss fraud advice from Dr. Oz is like the 3 Pigs getting construction tips from the Wolf.

Enough already.

 For more fun! 

Here's the entire testimony...in case you missed it. His "honesty" begins at roughly at 1:17:00 and continues for almost an entire 90 seconds.

Here's a most hilarious take on the testimony, by John Oliver. Painfully accurate. I love it!
