I wonder if stubbornness grows with age because I see it in my parents, and honestly, I don’t like their complacency or unwillingness to see the obvious. It’s not like they’re deliberately trying to trigger me, but sometimes they just refuse to acknowledge the truth staring them in the face.
For those of you who aren’t Eastern Europeans, let me explain the type of fasting some so-called Christians adhere to around here. According to the priests promoting this practice, religious individuals shouldn’t eat meat, eggs, or dairy on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The logic behind this? Beyond me. Personally, I strongly disagree with these dietary restrictions because, in my humble opinion, meat, eggs, and dairy are some of the most nutritious foods on the planet. Depriving yourself of such vital nutrients doesn’t seem like a great idea.
But here’s another problem: finding genuinely healthy food when you’re out and about and can’t cook for yourself is almost impossible. Malls, for example, are packed with fast-food joints. Their business model is simple—serve highly processed food as quickly and in as large portions as possible.
This explains the insane lines at KFC or similar fast-food spots. These places are health disasters waiting to happen. And what’s right around the corner from them? Pharmacies.
It’s a vicious cycle: the establishment pushes us to consume processed junk, which inevitably screws up our health, and then they sell us meds to “treat” the resulting diseases. Pharmacies aren’t interested in curing anyone—they’d lose their customer base if they did.
It’s the same as the military-industrial complex. No wars? No business.
Similarly, the pharmaceutical industry thrives on creating problems—diseases mostly caused by unhealthy food and lifestyles—and then “solving” them with overpriced medication. Doctors play their part in this game too, but breaking that down fully would need a whole other post.
Not that many people read my posts anyway 😀. Still, I’m glad to see more people waking up to the scam that is the food and pharmaceutical industries. Seeing folks hit the gym and eat healthier is inspiring.
I get it—resisting cravings is tough. But if we can fight off most of them, we’re on the right track to dismantling this toxic system. And remember, sugar is worse than cocaine.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
