iv made a 'wacky' decision not to eat anything that comes plastic.
once we get our animals this will be much easier to do so this is more somthing i aspire to achieve.
seeing that most things in plastc packaging are not good for you, i decided to stay away and just to eat natural foods that i can produce myself.
we already produce all our own fruit and veg so that not an issue.
things that we cant produce are things like cooking oil, which comes in plastic bottles and too much of is bad for you. so once we get the goats ill be making butter and can either use butter instead of oil or not use anything at all.
flour is another thing we cant produce because we dont have enough land and its not cost effective. but flour comes in paper packaging so that's alright.
same goes for sugar, although we're concidering getting bees then i can substitute honey for sugar.
salt is a tricky one though, need to find salt in a bio-degradible packaging.
in my mind most foods that come in plastic are not so good for you, plus plastic is not good for the enviroment.
im paranoid about getting cancer or other diet and lifestyle related illnesses.
my grandfather is over weight and has lived with diabitis along with a multitude of other diet/weight related illnesses. he has had strokes and he has lymphoma his legs are all swollen and he has a crushed spinal disk and damaged nerve which makes him unable to walk. he also has cancer and i know his diet is not helping. i try to tell him how processed meat is a carcinogen and fruit and veg are cancer inhibitors but he says hes gonna die anyway and he wants to eat what he likes. i feel so sad when i see how he is struggleing on a day to day basis and i have an imence fear of ending up like this. if he was slim and ate healthily most of his health problems wouldnt have occured and he would be enjoying a much better quality of life.
i also try to keep busy and active. not going to the gym, but running arround after the kids and doing the house work and working in the garden.
i dont touch tobacco and i rarely drink alcohol.
i also worry about air pollution from cars/factories. we live in macedonia and there are not regulated properly, they pour untreated sewage into the rivers and lots of places are so polluted that nothing will grow. iv heard horror stories of a certain town where there was big polluting factories and the babies were being born all deformed
what about everyone else? do you fear how your lifestyle will effect your future health?
What will be will be.None of us know when that time will come.Best to focus your thoughts on the "Now"time,and it'll put your life back into perspective!
