If you ever watch any TV show or film made in the 1970's besides the obvious fashion faux pas, have you noticed one thing?
The people are so much slimmer.
I remember those days as a young boy and slim was the normal, today I look around and it is almost an about face, so why has this changed?
A lot of this is to do with the use of Corn Syrup, an additive to foods that makes you think you are hungry. Also the use of Palm Oil and the like only helps to swell.
I started a test recently with having a 2 inch long sliced up Chilli with my evening meal and this really has made me healthier.
I try and avoid things with Aspartame sweetener and ready made meals, I see a phrase like 'modified starch' and think that's best avoided.
If we go back to the 1800's the largely Bison or Buffalo meat was really the best, no growth promoters, just lean and natural. The same with crops too, just pulled up.
A friend of mine said that you don't see flocks of birds following Tractors on potato field ploughing like we used to, because the worms are not in the ground on the fields due to the fertilisers.
If you can eat natural foods, so much the better. This used to be the old way.

Hmmm ... there seem to be fewer and fewer worms in my garden although I use nothing except hard graft, not sure what's going on but their absence does the soil no good. As for palm oil, it's so ubiquitous it's difficult to avoid it - even though most of us don't want it!
