I&#8217;m not talking about conspiracy theory here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggs is a great example, when one listens to commercials &#8211; the only eggs you should choose are from a major food store, anything else is suspect. My opinion is that this is hot bologna &#8211; we&#8217;ve bought eggs from the store and they&#8217;ve been small, the yolk is hardly even yellow, its like a fakey pathetic excuse for an egg \ud83e\udd2e- it barely has any substance. You can&#8217;t convince me that this is the egg my life has been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If one goes to a colony or a farm and buys fresh eggs, they are huge, the yolks are yellow as the sun or even orange, and you know they&#8217;ve got max protein and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tend toward whole foods, or more organic foods, salmon, smoked chum fish bbq ends, avocado&#8217;s, pork chops on the BBQ, Kiwi, cherry plums, little cans of low sodium V8, Quaker Oats with Chia seeds *and Cinnamon*, raspberries, turkey and chicken breast, BBQ farmer sausage, brown buns &amp; bread, Yerba Mate Tea, and matcha green tea, and coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That represents the most of what I eat and drink.. when it comes to seasonings, I use Himalayan salt, ground pepper, and cayenne pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People say that you shouldn&#8217;t eat fish, eggs are bad for you, don&#8217;t have Himalayan salt, and on and on.. I&#8217;m not a health expert, but I think that is a load of crap. The least processed foods that are natural are the best foods for you to eat &#8211; I believe that because your body was designed to break those foods down &#8211; much like sugar from fruit can be absorbed properly without much issue compared to processed sugar from candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think those original foods were maligned because companies want people to buy their latest food slop. It doesn&#8217;t matter that it contains who-knows-what &#8211; it&#8217;s wayyy better for you than an egg.. like ya right&#8230; \ud83d\ude44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the featured pic &#8211; I made it today &#8211; I&#8217;ve got avocado on brown toast with pepper, farmer sausage that I smoked yesterday, and a sliced kiwi with skin &#8211; a very delicious and healthy breakfast for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to separate fact from fiction in this life&#8230; there are so many lies, its hard to tell what is true and what isn&#8217;t.
