when do we start questioning things? I know that medicine has come a long way and diseases upon diseases kept killing us in the past, that now seem like child-play. it happened in my family as well, although I cannot speak for them.

but seriously though, when do we question things...? when do we take our rights to live seriously? I have amenia, and some of it is my fault. some of it, is somewhat out of my control though, but there is a way to fix it: taking pills and other forms of medicine to substitute what I'm lacking... but why am I lacking it to begin with? why isn't the food I eat and the moderate amounts of work-out enough? is there not enough iron and vitamins in foods nowadays? why are pigs growing so much faster? fruits grow so much faster. they grow larger, juicier, sweeter... are they still worth the money? you could argue, considering they're filled with chemicals, that the price of producing them is what's being paid for, but that's not what our body needs.

our body needs nutrients and lots of resources. lots of them that nature used to be able to provide, but now as we capitalized on food-production --- amongst everything else --- output quantity has become more important than quality ( a tail as old as time). so we're no longer getting as much of the nutrients we used to from, say, an apple. so how do we measure wort- well, I know the answer to that question: output... economy, etc. etc... this is so wrong though, we won't survive on Wall Street statistics alone. we survive on food. so why do we let people fill our foods with chemicals that do not aid in our survival? changing their goals and mission as leaders from "survival" to just simply "control as much of humanity as possible and make sure we stay in charge" has always been the downfall of societies. why does society, or rather humanity as a whole, never learn?

you can add several other points that might seem worthwhile exploring like inflation, but those all miss the point in this specific post: we NEED food to survive and all of the natural nutrients it used to provide. the less it provides, the less likely we are to live, or rather thrive. and you might speak against the chemicals, "there's not enough evidence of it" or "it's harmless", but let's add more moral strings to it: pig farms... my dad works there. my dad sees it. my dad sees the mothers give birth, breastfeed a bit before being taken away from their children and butchered. it's just how life is, right? but it's different to do it in moderation in nature in the stone age, then to make an industry out of it... I mean, how cruel can we get? and that's not even my point, my point is: he sees how fast they grow. within just weeks, newborns are now much larger. genetically engineered growth just so they can get butchered faster, quicker...

just something to chew on.
