I Eat For Quality Not Quantity----Here's Why:

I eat for quality, not quantity, so I wouldn't touch anything from certain corporations that push GMO's, or promote high calorie / high protein stuff--- We don't need it!

It's a huge misconception that you need this many calories, that much protein, etc.. GMO's are just toxic--it's been well proven by the alternative communities, with very well educated people posting lots of very valid studies. If you never get the proper nutrition, your body will always be hungry, because nutrients won't absorb if they are not present, or if it's filled with toxic ingredients, also high calorie meals make it much harder for your body to absorb whatever nutritional content is available. You just don't get what's needed by the low quality ingredients---

The low grade stuff is devoid of micro nutritional elements. 

There's much more than macros: calories, protein, fats, carbohydrates, and the major vitamins and minerals everyone is familiar with. The low quality stuff doesn't even have the major vitamins and minerals, so why bother? If I were truly desperate, I would have to eat it, but most people are not starving. I avoid low quality food because I know not only is it lacking nutritionally, that my body will also become inflamed just from one bad meal. Inflammation has recently been found to be a cause of depression and disease.

Note---that I do not condone the cruelty involved in testing on animals. The research, however, stands as it has already been conducted and they have unfortunately been sacrificed. . I'm sorry on behalf of kinder humans. Bless their animals souls.

I guess the manufactures feel people don't need that stuff (the micro nutrients and quality calories) --- but the average consumer just goes along with it. Oh, thank you, mass consumerism. It seems that most have been bull whipped by the system of mass consumerism and being traditionally ignorant by routinely eating ignorantly, and the foolish belief that 'more is better' and 'fast is better' --- drive through on the fly garbage food. You see the symbolism on food packages that pretend to promote healthy eating to kids in commercials, but the foods are usually filled with toxins, high calorie low---quality ingredients, and typically loaded with refined sugar, or worse high-fructose corn syrup, or even worse toxic sugar substitutes. Parents take short cuts and don't do their own research.

A lot of young people become obese and don't understand why--- they thought they were getting quality food as advertised and their proud parents put 'food' for them on the table. Nope, they were tricked into eating high calorie toxic food laden with abnormal chemicals that often can't be pronounced, dyes --- 'food' that is damaging to the organs (unhealthy and toxic) --- GMO's that are proven to be unhealthy by alternative communities. Your liver has to process all this stuff and it makes people sick, tired, and unhealthy.  Mental health often suffers in a diet that is toxic to the body.  Quality food is essential to everything in life. 

When your 'food' doesn't have the correct chemical makeup, it's not food.  It's a caloric substitute.   

It's not too late to change your habits though. It never is---but the sooner you do, the quicker you can save your health. Stop thinking in terms of caloric load and being deceived by food that is promoted as healthy, yet it's toxic and missing the proper chemistry to be considered healthy food. 

Most people neglect the micro chemicals in food that are also essential to good health, but the micro elements are all part of the macro picture. The macros don't work alone, they need the non-caloric essentials to be effective in every process the body carries out. Enzymes and phytochemicals play a large part of our diets for those of us that eat to be healthy and are not tricked into foolish consumerism --- buying for quantity and calories. Cheaper doesn't necessarily mean you get more, it's usually not the case. The old saying goes---you get what you pay for! 

And don't forget the fiber content that is missing in an unhealthy diet. Yeah, that stuff you need to function and dispose of waste. Are you with me? Go ahead and share this to educate your friends and family.  Most likely they are in the dark.

I know---and people are like what? What are those?  
[Macros and Micros? Fiber? Really?]
Uh, Yeah, all that stuff you need to stay healthy, but it's devoid in mainstream modern diets, because of commercialism,  fast food, meat and dairy diets, refined food, etc.  

If you eat something bad, it's just like a tease, and your body will continually crave.  People that eat poorly are always hungry. Thermodynamically sure you need calories for energy, but most often most people have enough of that in wealthy countries. 

If we have fat on our bodies, we are not starving. 

Our body is usually hungry for nutritional needs, so it's worth paying double and eating half as much as most people people eat, who are buying on the cheap, for calories, and amount, thinking they are getting more, rather than selecting food for quality and nutritional value. Paying extra for quality food is usually more ethical too, because workers typically are paid more and typically it's not environmentally destructive----especially if it's vegan (minus a few crops that are destructive, but animals agriculture is very----very destructive to the planet).  Vegan is the most net efficient and we are naturally equipped genetically as humans to be vegan. So go vegan without worry! Regardless of all the hysterical misconceptions against veganism.

I had to tap into the ethical part of the diet... I'll keep talking about the nutritional content---updates coming soon

"Flavonoids, which have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, red wine, and green tea"

You need the micros from vegan foods to fight inflammation and to digest food properly. These foods have all the micro nutrients needed for proper health and keeping disease in check. But the problem is these GMO's and low cost food, are typically filled with lots of toxins that cancel out and even override the nutritional benefit of them. 

Veganism is the way to go if you are concerned about health, it's the first step. If you want the full effect, get the abnormal chemicals out of the diet and toxic foods that are often found in a meat and dairy diet or cheap GMO foods made by manufactures that don't have very high ethics or regards for health. Their primary emphasis is high yield--not quality. 

Go: organic---vegan---non-GMO, and eat those greens! Eat for quality!
And remember: eating less with emphasis on quality is almost always more because of the true nutritional content.

I believe in bringing value to other people's life.
Why not make the world a better place by preaching the actual truth?
