Hello to all with the " perfect " food problem:

 

I always have problems with " extremism " , especially coming from Europe.

There is the perfect way of " eating " sure, but what is that?

Perfect would be probably if we would cut out 80% of what we eat in general,

even from raw foods. The end result would be, no wasting time anymore for any

food prep, no wasting money any more for any fancy kitchen and kitchen

equipment.

The perfect way would be probably:

1. to eat fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, just as they are.

2. to eat only food that grows around you.

3. to eat only what you would eat when you would live out in nature,

like Gorillas in the Congo.

 

So who is really perfect? Perhaps we rather should look at the big picture:

 

Answers to 1. and 3.

Well, we sure could save a lot of time and money in not preparing any foods, but

as our

human brains are, we are creative. And many of us don't eat only to " feed the

machine " ,

but have also some fun and enjoyment with eating. If we would live still in huts

and caves

in the jungle without any further creativity challenge, we could eat just

perfect!

What would happen then? Would we live for forever?

Well, even Gorillas and monkeys with their perfect eating don't live for

forever.

Their age is about 30 to 60 years. They get old and die. So do we humans. All

live form

dies when the time is over. Our human bodies, even 1 Million years or more ago

(when

food was still perfect supposedly!!!), was not meant to live longer than 60 to

130 years.

 

My suggestion:

If you have serious health problems, stay with the " most perfect " diet as long

as possible,

until you have recovered. Learn and get to know what caused the problem.

And then enjoy your life!!!! Eat whatever you feel for and what makes you feel

good.

What makes you feel good is good for you! Everybody is different, everybody has

different needs. You will find out for yourself.

 

If you sometime eat things that are not perfect, so what?

Enjoy, be happy and go on with your life! Be HAPPY!!!! The most important part

in life!!!

You can eat the most perfect food and still be miserable! What good would that

do?

 

I know so many people in Germany, Italy, France and South Africa, they drink

their daily

wine, their daily coffee, enjoy good food (not junk food), they smoke, and still

get 90 and

more, and they are happy lovable people.

 

As I experienced here in America, many people seem to fall from one extreme into

the

other. First they grow up with McDonalds, hot dogs and other fast foods from

quick

money making franchise chains, because they have not learned at all how to cook

and

prepare food at home, they get sick and overweight and then they fall into the

other

extreme of wanting to be perfect from now on.

 

Answers to 2.

If we would eat only what grows around us, we could cut out probably 80% of the

fruits,

because they don't grow here; just to name a few for example, bananas, coconuts,

durian,

brazilnuts, cashews, cacao beans, goji berries and many others from other

countries.

 

If you want to follow a so called " perfect diet " , you might as well cut out all

the items

above, because they simply don't grow here.

 

Solution:

Don't become too extreme, cleanse twice a year, don't overeat, eat a lot of

greens, cut out

the worst foods, eat whatever you like and enjoy your life!

toxins?

I was wondering if anyone had some reliable info on what foods - if any -

tend to be toxic if eaten raw. I've read that kidney beans are somewhat

toxic unless cooked. Also I think Andrew Weil wrote in one of his books

that mushrooms were. I love raw mushrooms and so does my 11yo daughter, but

I'm afraid to let her eat too many. Does anyone have definitive info on raw

'shrooms?

 

thanks!!

I really like what Ursula said about eating what grows around you. A friend of

mine said the same thing, but I don't hear many raw fooders talk that way.

 

We are lucky that we can have fruit from other countries. My friend was telling

me food grown in our own climate is probably the best overall. It's a great

thought. I didn't listen to him before, but I find myself leaning towards what

grows in my area (Washington State).

 

I also like what was said about the " extreme " way of thinking. I am an extreme

thinker when it comes to food and it has to be " perfect " or on my " list. " I

have a very all or nothing view of thinking in regards to food and it does not

make me a happy person.

EXCELLENT POST!!!

 

I agree about extremism. I think we all have that tendency, and I have lately

been working on it more in diet. Steaming and using 1 Tbsp pasteurized food in

my marinades no longer bothers me, as the overall goal is HEALTH and stress will

hinder it more than that 1 tbsp nutritional yeast or um plum vinegar.

 

THANK YOU FOR POSTING/SHARING, Caroline!
