Let's face a few facts. It would be interesting in this context to know the population of Nutrition Desert vs Everywhere Else in the good ole USofA, because the Nutrition Desert areas are essentially an act of genocide. The good Dr. Fuhrman, who has coined the very useful term "Nutritarian Diet", has even written a book on this topic (and much more) titled "Fast Food Genocide: How Processed Food is killing Us and What We Can Do About It".
One can get the Genocide Diet anywhere in the USA, one need not travel to the local Nutrition Desert to partake, but of course "in the desert" it's pretty much all there is.
The disease reversal diet is not magic or some complex and mysterious secret known only to select few. It's basic common sense: fully nutritious foods that are also not system clogging, which means they do not present inefficiencies to the body in digestion, assimilation of nutrition, and disposal of waste. In other words you are giving your body sufficient fuel and nutrition without robbing it of the valuable energy it needs to take care of the pathogens and toxins we are exposed to every day. Basically you are simply "getting out of it's way".
Once you have really done that, the body immediately begins to vector toward health on all fronts. It may however be uncomfortable at first, when you clean house dust gets kicked up, and when you begin the disease reversal diet "lodged" toxins are mobilized into the pathways of detoxification and elimination, a process that may very well make one feel worse for a period of time (depending on how much "cleaning" has to be done).
Here's a few clues you may not be consuming the disease reversal diet:
- your energy fluctuates quite a bit during the day.
- digestive processes may cause you discomfort (you should not be any more aware of healthy digestion than you are of normal healthy breathing).
- it may take longer than a single minute to "do your business", and afterward you may feel compelled to open a window out of consideration.
- you may experience any of a broad variety of physical or emotional discomforts with relative frequency.
- your BMI is above the healthy range.
- you may have one or more of the very broad category of health conditions caused by not consuming the disease reversal diet.
There are additional terms other than "disease reversal diet" which identify essentially the same approach:
- SOS free whole food plant based (SOS free = no added salt sugar oil).
- 80/10/10 diet.
- Nutritarian diet.
- Fruits and vegetables with legumes and moderate nuts and seeds diet.
It's interesting how "fruits and vegetables" have been known as the healthiest diet since the time of Plato and Hippocrates, but quite recently has morphed into the "meat and vegetables" diet. Humm...how'd that happen? Was it "science" (using the term loosely) funded by the "disease induction and management consortium"? (Comprised primarily of these industries: meat & dairy, manufactured foods, fast food, big pharma, big health care.) Or was it post industrial cultural biases? Or both?
We love to hear good things about our bad habits...we're only human after all. But we can do better, it only takes education and personal experience to really see and feel the difference.
Let's shine a bright light onto this "invisible" genocide, and get rid of nutrition deserts wherever we find them (even, or especially, in our own bodies). It very likely won't be easy or quick...a huge slice of US GDP has become dependant on the "disease induction and management consortium"...it may even be greater than 50% all told? I somehow think the Fed does not publish that statistic.
