Deodorant

[Guest guest]

Jeannie,

 

I am sorry that you have to put up with " people of other cultures " in your

grocery store. Hopefully, immigration reform should solve that problem for

you.

 

Keep in mind, that there are also many people who find heavily " perfumed and

deodorized " people not just unpleasant to be around but literally sickening,

and can end up in the hospital from being " stuck behind those people in the

line at the grocery store. " Chemically doused and saturated humans are no

fun to be around either.

 

I spent some time in a traditional Balinese village for awhile, ( " other

culture: " no deodorant.) Part of their tradition in this hot steamy tropical

environment is to eat lots of raw food and to bathe three times a day, every

day. Of the 35 countries that I have visited, they were the absolutely

cleanest and nicest smelling people that I have ever met. They made all

Americans (myself included) seem like rank pigs doused in perfume.

 

Just because you douse yourself with chemicals doesn't mean you smell any

less; just less animal, more chemical. (I also do animal rescue work and we

just lost a rescue animal (whom I was fostering) whose previous owner had

doused her in " fabrize " carpet deodorizer to make her smell better. The

sweet little puppy died yesterday afternoon. She is buried in my backyard.)

 

All the best,

Tom

 

BTW, the Javanese Royal Family (next door neighbors to the Balinese)

centuries ago hybridized a rare tropical fruit that when eaten supposedly

eliminates all body odor and makes one's bowel movements smell like flowers.

Sadhu, whom I mentioned in my earlier post, is also growing these plants on

his farm as well. Perhaps, this may be a solution to this " serious " problem.

Re: [Raw Food] Why not stop using products?

 

LOL....In my line of work, I HAVE to use deodorant every day. I have been

around people that don't use deodorant on a regular basis. It is not a

pretty picture. lol I find often people that think they don't need it have a

problem with their sense of smell. lol

 

There are people in other cultures that don't wear deodorants and I usually

get stuck behind them in the line at the grocery store.
