qualia Posted February 5, 2012 "dr" mercola's a bit of a hack though, don't you think? he goes on about people shouldn't eat tofu/soy products but east asian people have been doing it for centuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curaezipirid Posted February 5, 2012 the staple foods we use, very much depend upon our genetics, and on our ancestors having been eating those foods for a few generations before so with Tofu, if you are East Asian, and your family have always eaten it regularly, your liver may process it more effectively than a European's liver will be able to a friend of mine who gave up all dairy products on the advice of a Chinese doctor, then developed an allergy to soy products, diagnosed by a western medicine specialist, and her ancestry was half Vietnamese and half Anglo-aussie, and she seemed to have drawn the short straw at both ends for milk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted February 5, 2012 i've never had a problem eating tofu, or drinking soy milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) he goes on about people shouldn't eat tofu/soy products but east asian people have been doing it for centuries. Mercola talks about the negative health aspects of soy protein isolate, not fermented soy or soy milk. Independantly of Mercola- The worlds 3 biggest producers of soybean & the percentage of that which is GM: US & Canada 90% Argentina 98% Brazil 75% Ive never had a problem eating tofu either (excluding poor chopsticks skills), in fact i ate it a lot when living in SE Asia, but ive never taken to soy milk-yuck!

qualia Posted February 5, 2012 Mercola talks about the negative health aspects of soy protein isolate, not fermented soy or soy milk. hmm, i seem to remember him wax lyrical about tofu being bad (as it's unfermented), and only to eat tempeh as it's fermented.

Distracted Posted February 6, 2012 Coming soon to a Woolworths near you! A Monsanto-created chemical, Neotame is likely more toxic than Aspartame. The FDA has quietly decided that we don't have the right to know if it's adulterating our food, not even if the food is labeled USDA Organic. http://www.gaia-health.com/articles351/000368-neotame-neurotoxic-fda-says-no-lable.shtml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LokStok Posted February 6, 2012 thanks! another step in the complete fucking sell-out by the USDA organic industry. Actually, the hijacking of the US organic industry by BIG FOOD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallubrious Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) thanks! another step in the complete fucking sell-out by the USDA organic industry. Actually, the hijacking of the US organic industry by BIG FOOD! It's happening here too. With the supermarkets pushing into the organic industry and flogging all that second rate organic crap, it seems like they are trying to discredit organic produce and taint peoples opinions by selling garbage and charging 4 times as much as chemical produced food. I know an organic farmer and he's been forced to jump through that many hoops lately he's seriously considering throwing it in. The organic regulating bodies have been infiltrated by big business and they are putting so much regulation on organic produce that it has become very hard to make a living producing organic food. The farmer I know has been forced to spend several hundred thousand dollars on infrastructure (cool rooms and packing facilities)that he can't possibly recover, the irony is he picks everything on the day of sale so none of it is needed.

EntheoAssassin Posted February 8, 2012 That's the way it is done, in every industry. It's terrible and it needs to stop. The only way of achieving an outcome is aggressive viral marketing of boycotting their products. Problem is the general populace don't give a fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitewind Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Krishna Rice Take one and a half cups of rice (preferably GM) Add 2 and three quarter cups of boiling water (with additional fluoride) Add a sprinkling of sea salt (make sure it has travelled from a distant shore) Heat for 15 minutes on low (use nuclear power) Allow to stand for 5 minutes (watch Fox News) Serve knowing that your appetite for good food will be thoroughly satisfied ---EDIT--- My beautiful loved one informed me I had my quantity of fluoride enhanced water wrong!

woof woof woof Posted February 9, 2012 Whahaha @White Wind! People that can should grow as much as they can them selves. But when I see how many probs I have to go through with all the pests that want to munch everything up before it even gets a chance to grow. It's allot of effort. That would almost mean a entire lifestyle change for me. Making time and effort are our biggest hurdles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would almost mean a entire lifestyle change for me. Making time and effort are our biggest hurdles. We had chooks while we were living in the mountains, and when my lovely lady got pregnant and i was working like a slave without a steady contract the poor little beggars were the last thing I wanted to deal with at night. My plants suffered and my veggies never got enough goodness put in to the ratshit subsoil we had to work with, it rained constantly and it was cold half the year, baking the other half. It was godawful and I was really looking forward to being self-sustaining, and it was highlighted by the fact I had not long moved down from northern NSW where you can grow stuff all year round in great soil. We never bother to ask clever questions like why did the Aboriginals never settle there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woof woof woof Posted February 10, 2012 WhiteWind,... cool to read about your own personal experience! I was just about to post this Link about Paleo diet ( I know it's trendy stuff) but the last thing you said about the Aboriginals and that hunter gatherer lifestyle (paleo diet) kinda connects.Would be cool to hear about people that actively combine modern lifestyle + live off the land / the aboriginal ways. Walkabout half the year and the other half be in the modern world for example. Probably nothing new,... but interesting to hear if there is an active front of peeps exploring that area.

random Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Walkabout half the year and the other half be in the modern world for example Do you mean non-indigenous ppl living that way or just indigenous people? Plenty of Australian indigenous people that I know of live that way but as for 100% completely living off the land I doubt anybody does that anymore unfortunately, the introduction of organised religion kind of ruined that for everyone. *edited to clarify Australian Edited April 8, 2012 by random Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
