    Natural food? Good for ya?

    The idea of "natural" (food, living, acting) is one of those things that is always in the air.

    The problem, though, is that, despite the subjective belief that "natural" has a meaning, the word is, essentially, void of meaning.

    The truth is that what natural means, and whether natural is good for a person, is highly complex. Consider this article:

    What are natural foods?

    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    I always think its funny that our concept of "natural" is oh-so-very rooted in the theological (Christian) meaning of the word...

    Anything that exists as a result of natural processes or the function of biological organisms is, in all technicality, "natural," though in practice we put a very JPS definition* on it.

      Check out this book if you can.

      HERE.

      Title"indian givers"

      Good book about the many things Native americans have given us,much helped bring knowledge to farming,in fact Indians used manure"in the form of guano" bird and bat droppings,before this most of Europe did nothing to renew the land,and burned out a lot of farms. helping to lead to the french revolution when the wheat based food chain failed.,"let them eat cake,when they have no bread."

      See here about wheat and the french revolution

        Natural is void of meaning for me as well. Nature is all and all is nature. It's like a synonym of "possible" for me.

            I've always liked the term "natural flavor." Can you just go pick some flavor?

              Chicken. Everything tastes like chicken.

              Except turkey. Turkey tastes like flamingo.

                there is a lot of garbage food out there right now. im on a fixed income and it kinda sucks because that shitty food tends to be way more affordable. But i feel so much better when i eat healty and natural..all those man made chemicals and genetically modified ingredients..it pisses me off too because good food shouldnt be a luxury imho. i plan on starting a garden next year and i already supliment my diet with things i forage from the forest like mushrooms and berries and I hunt and fish a lot (wild game meat is waaay healthier then that lame ass factory farm meat thats all pumped with hormones and you can tell a difference in the tast and texture of meat from an animal that actually gets excercise--guess what? its dramatically better).

                  It all depends on what you eat. I believe in moderation. Too much of something isn't good. You have to balance what you eat. It's all about moderation.
