Eating Clean

The book I read to research this post was Eating Clean for Dummies by Johnathan Wright et al & is a very good book which I bought from kindle. Some rats were fed junk food & then were offered wholesome food & the rats chose to starve to death rather than eat it. It's anything but easy going from processed food with all its chemicals even things like cooked cheese can be addictive which is why cheeseburgers are so popular. Even something that seems as harmless as water probably comes through lead pipes if your house was built prior to 1986, probably contains fluoride which can discolour your teeth & there's no evidence fluoride in water has any good qualities as far as your teeth are concerned. Your body simply can't absorb it. On top of that there are claims it's a carcinogen & it can dull your mind. On top of that the treatment plants weren't designed to remove modern pesticides although they have often been upgraded since. The safest thing with things like fruit & veg is to grow your own & failing that from a market or health food shop. Even packaging can be toxic. When it comes to meat you don't want to know how they treat the animals it's so horrendous it would put you off your food. Some of the things mentioned which I can tell you only scratches the surface is they feed plastic pellets to the animals as fibre & they mix the animals poo with cement & feed it back to them. Also when they battery farm chickens they chop their beaks off because they would peck each other to death, they are so over crowded.
