Pick It Up and Eat It!

W6

            Considering how obsessed Americans have become with greasy food that is loaded with saturated fat. It amazes me that we as a nation are having what can only be described as obsessive-compulsive disorder, when it comes to our food. Americans have forgotten were their food comes from, we have come to associate our food with sterility. Americans have forgotten that every French fry we eat was once buried in the ground, and every piece of beef we eat walked around in it's own feces its entire life. So, what is the big deal if one is to eat a little bit of food that has been dropped on the ground? I do it all the time, and I rarely get sick. This obsession has led to us as a people completely destroying our immune system, wasting ungodly amounts of money, and completely losing site of our priorities.

            America has become so obsessed with this impossible with this completely unreasonable standard of cleanliness when it comes to our food that we get sick if even the most minute change occurs. Don't misunderstand we do need to maintain some level of cleanliness, when it comes to our food. However, we have evolved to the point as human beings where we can no longer drink the earth's water. Yes, we need to buy water that has been distilled and filtered, or else we get sick. We can't even drink the water that has been treated in the water treatment plants.

            There is no greater evidence to how screwed our American priorities have become than bottled water. We as a society will turn a blind eye to the water mismanagement in our own communities, a mismanagement of our own tax dollars, and we will invest in bottled water instead of making sure our communities have proper healthy drinking water.

            I hope the day the grid fails never comes, because we can't even drink the water! A solar flare could come at any second and take out our power, then what. We all die because we can't drink the water! The late great George Carlin once said, "If I drop food on the floor. I pick it up and eat it!... Even if I am at a sidewalk cafe!... In Calcutta!... The poor section!... On New Years morning during a soccer riot!"
