It's not a good idea to follow Kurt Cobain in the ways of healthy living IMO.

I guess that is part because of a big western cultural programing. I started to drink socially at bars, here in Brazil, at the age of 14. That's right you've heard right. It was not allowed but I guess the establishment just turned (probably still turns) the blind eye. I finally came to the (true inner) understanding, in 2012, that alcohol was indeed one of the worst, most damaging (personal and socially wise), most dangerous (and as Graham Hancock has said, one of the most boring) drugs there is. So I decided to keep it out of my life. Very, very small concessions have been made in order to try and taste (then spit out) local brews and a couple of weeks ago, half a glass of beer to celebrate the meeting of an old friend. But now, mostly I "demonize" it, for its source of great addiction and pain here (and throughout the world) and it is unfair in the face of other substance's prohibition. I believe in the entheogenic power of some (unfairly made illegal) substances in the proper and responsible set and settings.


Now, to be back on topic, I sort of reduced the intake of red meet a couple of years ago, but lost the discipline it takes to avoid it further, here, a barbecue country... There has been much discussion about the environmental issues of the cattle industry and etc, so I've been reflecting much on it lately. Much salt here, btw...

I cut out extra salt on my Peanuts. Yeah I'm a veg just one the eats meat smokes but not road kill.....

I’ve been a vegetarian for the past 22 years. It’s funny because everyone I knew thought it would last a week or two...

JG Ballard (High Rise) Boy he sure could write a good opening sentence!

I am off and on... depends on how i feel that month.

Thoughts today of national food waste as I clean out the fridge.

Yesterday, a bunch of loud, irritating, headache inducing people came over for a few hours.My family. Everyone of them are on the fat meter. From chubby to obese. Whereas I'm built more like Humphrey Bogart. Each brought junk food.Empty calorie stuff like Hot dogs, chips, sugary cakes & cookies,Coca-Cola (poison water which will be used to clean the toilet) as well as a $30 box of potato salad all more than enough. In fact so much so, that I'm throwing the majority of it out in a 5 gallon bucket for wild animals rather than let it take up much needed space, and be forced to eat those things to prevent them from going bad. That is a chore. Too much over spending on extra servings. Greed and waste are not virtues.

If people just ate a serving size & less meat for a start there would be less waste and less health problems. Think of the money that would be saved. The idea/culture that one has to be filled up to the eyeballs to be satisfied day after day is revolting. I would guess that people who eat more veggies are less likely to waste money on food they can't possibly eat. Too many get caught up in food as tradition instead of food as fuel.
