Watching the documentary Food Matters
Because it’s Sunday and I’m exhausted and drained and I have Netflix, okay?
Anyway this is really interesting and you should check it out. Realizing that even though I’m already a vegetarian I need to eat a LOT more raw organic produce and drink even more water.
This is making me think of my grandma, for some reason. And this might end up being kind of long. For the most part she’s just old, or at least that’s what I’ve always assumed, but there are plenty of people older than her and a lot healthier. For as long as I can remember she’s been on this endlessly adapting cocktail of prescription drugs and she has this huge widespread fleet of doctors and ridiculously frequent doctors appointments all in an attempt to make her healthier, in less pain, and more functionable. Despite these exorbitantly priced drugs and services, she’s been pretty consistently miserable since I was a kid. I’ve been witness to plenty of new drugs and surgeries prescribed in an attempt to “cure” her various illnesses and the doctors are willing to try so many different things to change her life, but literally no doctor has ever attempted to change her insanely terrible diet. So here’s my question- Food is obviously a huge part of every human being’s life, and diet has an apparently large impact on one’s health, so why isn’t anything being done to treat patients with numerous chronic illnesses through the most obvious, simple, and natural healing processes- nutrition?
I don’t know, call me ranty mcranterson. Watch it if you’re bored, suggest any other food related documentaries I should watch/review.
