Food Repentance

I had a sad experience today. I was in a dollar store buying envelopes when I saw a family buying their groceries there. The cashier said lots of families buy their groceries there. There was nothing remotely healthy there. In the future I"d like to start an NGO to help poor people buy organic foods and/or lobby the government to start subsidizing organic food and heavily taxing junk food.

Somehow the message isn't getting through. Eating badly is self-abuse. We don't allow people to ride motorcycles without helmets, we restrict and tax cigarettes and alcohol, but we don't even tax junk foods as a disincentive. I also think we should restrict the advertising of junk foods especially targeted to children.

So even if no one"s listening I will regularly post my suggestions for living a holistically healthy life.

15- fast at least 1/2 day a week

You need to give your digestive system a rest just like every system in your body. In our society we eat too much so our digestive system is under way more pressure than ever designed for. And fasting is good for the soul as well.
