СКАЧАТЬ they tend to try to isolate it, extract it, recreate it, process it, and put it in a pill. That is the equivalent of taking just one spark plug and the oil from a car in the belief you have found the most important components of the vehicle because it can’t run without them.

      BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!

      Most of the time they also try and blind us with science by using what I call blah, blah, blah language. I am talking about people who will use the longest, most obscure words available to describe something which is actually very simple. However, they have studied it for many years, have spent flipping great wedges of cash on their education and are going to let you know they have by completely losing you in whatever text they write. I call it blah, blah, blah language.

      It is about time we all took our brainwashed heads out of the sand. We just do not need to know what our ideal weight is (according to some man-made scale). We should not be weighing our food to see how much we should eat. Nor do we need to concern ourselves with vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, our body fat ratio, our resting heart rate, nor how many calories are in the bag of crisps. It is time to simplify the whole business of eating and health, remove the fear of changing your diet, and find physical and mental freedom for life. We will not achieve this by worrying about vitamin K, B6, C, D, K, Z, protein, calcium, or what foods are low fat. We will achieve our goal for life by not concerning ourselves with all this nonsense, but rather by removing the many years of brainwashing, conditioning, and manipulation by BIG FOOD and tapping into our genuine freedom of choice.

      You already know why you shouldn’t be eating the foods you are and why you should eat the foods you are not. However, that doesn’t matter because everybody with a food problem knows this too, yet this knowledge does not help them. It certainly didn’t help me. All it did was add pressure and make me feel stupid and weak-willed. And what would I do if I was under pressure, feeling down or a little stressed? Yep – EAT!

      The problem is that although we know all the benefits of making the change, we also believe that we have to go through pain to get there and stay there. As I will repeat throughout this book, you will not have to endure any pain at all because it’s easy to lose weight, gain health, have the body of your dreams and all the energy to enjoy it. You simply need to get into the right frame of mind, then you can easily get into the right frame of body. You will only have to suffer a lifetime of pain if you don’t make the change – not if you do.

      So now you know what you don’t need to know, but in order to remove all the brainwashing and release you from certain ‘junkie foods’, there is a lot you really do need to know. The first and most important thing is the nature of the diet and food trap. What really compels us to eat things that we then regret almost instantaneously? What makes us eat foods that we know for certain are causing excess fat, ill health, depression, stress, and premature death? In other words …

       WHY DO PEOPLE EAT JUNK FOOD?

      

The answer is very simple. It is a combination of just two reasons:

      1) The advertising, brainwashing, conditioning, and mind manipulation we have been subjected to since birth (the mental side).

      2) An empty insecure physical feeling due to malnutrition, withdrawal, low blood sugar, or a combination of the three – caused by the ‘food’ and/or drinks themselves (the physical side).

      These two factors add up to addiction.

      The good news is that virtually any kind of addiction, contrary to extremely popular belief, is easy to kick. However, it is only easy to kick once you have a full understanding how that particular addiction works and the nature of that particular trap.

      The main problem is the first of the two factors: the many, many years of conditioning, brainwashing, mind manipulation, and total misinformation that we have been subjected to by the advertisers and so-called experts on the subject of health. This is really the cause of the problem and this is what needs to be fully removed in order to gain freedom. The lethargy, excess fat, health problems etc. are simply symptoms of the cause.

      Fat Profits

      It is time to wake up and realize that the livelihoods of many people depend on keeping us none the wiser when it comes to just how harmful and addictive certain foods and drinks can be. It is often their job to keep you hooked – without your knowledge of course – on what I will continue to refer to as drug foods or junkie foods. They are constantly trying to change the way you think in order to give you the very false impression that you are choosing to eat and drink their druggy-like foods. As I mentioned earlier, and as I will repeat, you cannot have freedom of choice without the freedom to also refuse. When do we know it’s our genuine choice?

      The tobacco companies played the same game for years. They kept very quite about the fact that their product is addictive, controls lives and kills people – and all the while it was advertised on television and radio (and of course the government got its share of the profits). Many doctors even suggested smoking to their patients as a good way to relieve stress from their lives. Doctors at the time were actually suggesting a known stimulant will relax a person. It is now known that many tobacco companies were deliberately adding chemicals to tobacco in order to make then even more addictive. My question is a simple one: is it possible the same thing is happening in some areas of the food and beverage industry? Is it possible that there could be some unscrupulous characters in the industry who would, like the tobacco companies, deliberately add chemicals to their food simply in order to make them less satiating and thus sell more to an unsuspecting public?

      We have a situation where it is fairly widely accepted that the vast majority of ‘food’ sold in a McDonald’s isn’t exactly the healthiest on the planet. Yet some years back, planning permission was given to have a McDonald’s in the grounds of the Tower of London. BIG FOOD often have good contacts and, like the tobacco companies of old, they seem to be able to get their food sold in the most unlikely of places. Having a McDonald’s in a sacred place such as the Tower Of London is bad enough, but did you know there’s even a McDonald’s in Guy’s hospital in London? Yes, a McDonald’s in a blooming hospital!

      You may think it’s unfair to put junk food in the same category as cigarettes. After all cigarettes kill people, often control their lives, cost them a fortune and are highly addictive. But where exactly is the difference? As a nation the UK spends £7 million a day on fast food. Second only of course to the good ol’ U.S of A. This money is spent on ‘foods’ that are known to be addictive and are known to cause all kinds of diseases, including cancer and heart disease – the two biggest killers in Western society. Just table salt alone is known to kill over 40,000 people a year in the UK, that’s more than 100 people a day. This is virtually the same number as alcohol. White refined carbohydrates and refined sugar are known to be a major cause of diabetes and a whole host of other diseases (which I will explain later). Aspartame (the artificial sweetener found in diet drinks etc.) has been linked to ninety-two different adverse symptoms and all kinds of health problems. This stuff is known to tighten blood vessels, cause additional thirst and has even been linked to brain tumours. Yet not only is it being sold as a ‘food’ stuff, but is promoted as a product that will help people who have a weight problem. (I will cover aspartame and products like it in depth later so you’ll never want to touch them again.)
