Fear Food

Fear is no fad diet. Humans have eaten terror for as long as there has been power. The story is different, but the formula stays the same. There are villains and heroes, and they interchange based on who or when you ask. Enemies bear different names; they are heathens, quacks, or carcinogens.

We eat fear like pigs, and there have always been people to feed it to us. Terror is served warm for better digestion. The taste fades and needs heat fast. The mind moves on, so the rhetoric must evolve to keep the fire alive. Solutions saturate when there are no more problems to solve. The plot twists to maintain adepts confused and easy to control.

What is it about food that terrifies us? The mortal body is never enough against the poisons of the day. Experts say a strict adhesion to scriptures and guidelines is necessary to survive. Everything else is contaminated. Adaptation is impossible.

The human body is a biological miracle that survived eons of storms, plagues and several other natural disasters without the technology and knowledge we have today. We know we can adapt. There is no reason to be afraid at this point, yet we are dependent on authority to keep us healthy because we are scared and they seem to know better. The power is in your hands to figure out how to make it happen.

Everybody can agree on the foods that kill us instantly. We know because some time ago our ancestors saw relatives die after eating that particular mushroom or berry. The shock transcended generations. We are aware now and avoid it intuitively.

Are your food habits rooted in fear? Do you avoid eating habits because you’ve tried and felt worse after or did someone scare you into it? The difference is massive. A documentary or seminar should not be enough to limit your dietary potential either. Keep an open mind and stay curious.The crashing health trends confirm we all have much to learn. No one knows how this story is going to end.
