First create the problem.............
First Create the Problem………..
One day I read that due to the chemicals and preservatives that we are ingesting nowadays, the human body takes four times longer to rot than it did hundred years ago. It seems the continuous high level of preservatives we eat in our food also keeps us going longer in death too.
Humans have consistently shown and proven how clever they are. If some other people were watching planet earth and the developments here in the last 150 years, the first thing they would conclude is that Earthlings seem to revel in first creating a problem then trying to solve it. And they do it with such gusto that the whole world joins in the game; that their games have nearly destroyed all vestige of sane living does not seem to bother them a tiny bit.
Mechanization and dependence on large scale manufacture is coupled with chemical wizardry to create new products and food that last longer on the shelf. Now we have a lot of food but as work is done by machines and people are unemployed, they don’t have the money to buy it.
What plastics is doing to the recycling effort of Mother Earth is now understood by everybody even the class four children. But what is less understood and less wanted to be understood how the food chain and its nutritiveness has been destroyed. Health care has been overtaken by a manipulative and business minded conglomerates who are first taking advantage of the systematic destruction and then introducing products to cover up the deficiencies and becoming vulgarly rich in the process; the common man being impoverished in the process so very completely that I wonder if we have even lost the basic sense of our own selfish cleverness.
For example take the Milling of wheat and rice. The rice has been denatured to like nice and white and reduced to pure good taste and beautiful to look at but all the nutritive properties have been milled out and given to the cows for fodder. The wheat is now ground at high speeds under pressure so that every health giving property of the wheat is pulverized; the vitamins destroyed by the heat and the roughage destroyed by too fine grinding of the grains.
The land these products are grown has been laced with artificial fertilizers which do not provide all the minerals and elements for a properly nutritive end-product. Then this very product is processed in factories, colors and preservatives added along with many other wonderful new chemical compounds. Now we have food on the shelves year round but no health to speak of. Rather after centuries of having to fast periodically due to the vagaries of Mother nature, we now have so much food that we gorge on it to the point where a whole industry has come up to help people reduce their weight and cholesterol level.
Take the oils we use in cooking. First the intelligencia scared the populace that butter and fatty cooking oils are dangerous. So they processed the oils by removing all colors and deodorizing it; in the process removing all health giving minerals and vitamins and then to make it acceptable and give it long shelf-life, chemicals were added. This they said is good for the idiotic populace and the people should be grateful that they now have food and safe products on their tables and in their homes.
Then to offset all the damage done, they advised us to take multivitamin & mineral supplements and created specialty units to treat heart and diabetic problems which we love to patronize. Cancer is now the easiest disease to catch and they don’t tell you that it is not a disease but an imbalance of the bodies chemical and other factors that they have helped put together.
Even simple things like water and air have been so chemically recomposed that we now need expensive filters to enjoy what Mother nature had given us free for the last few million years. But consider the level of intelligence that none of us is prepared to forgo any of the comforts and products that are directly playing havoc with our lives
It is a wonderful and huge farce in which we are all gleefully participating.
I think of the question: Quo Vadis? Wither goest thou? Wither goest we I really would like an answer.
Some notes on slow ground wheat.
This slow ground wheat will bring back the taste and health factors that are still remembered by most of the people, specially in metros and there is a large number of people who miss it. It is like other food products that have gone out of fashion but are remembered and always find a ready market like Buttermilk, fresh loaf of bread and fresh white butter.
- Go back to slow grinding to eliminate heating of wheat when being ground. - Mechanise the old hand-operated grinding system process and thereby make it less fatigue-intensive. - Generate employment for the non-educated work force available in plenty and begging for work. - Nutritionally, by keeping all the vitamins and roughage intact, promote better health.
- Industrial high speed grinding has a Direct relationship with diabetes and heart problems as Vit E along with other vitamins in although lesser quantity is destroyed and roughage becomes too fine to be effective. - Slow speed grinding will improve health by way of directly keeping all the vitamins specially Vit E and roughage intact. - A less disease-prone and stronger populace will dramatically decrease loss of working hours due to sickness and dependence on drugs etc.
High speed grinding heats up the flour to such a high temperature that it is partially cooked in the grinding. The flour loses its nutritive properties and as it is precooked it starts rotting in storage. This flour is stale and stale food cannot give health. High speed grinding denatures the wheat. Slow-ground wheat will bring back all the health giving properties of wheat back into play.
