Green potatoes

Speaking of hurting you, those same enterprising humans also increased the carbohydrate levels of potatoes to unnatural levels not found it nature. You are much more likely to get T2 Diabetes from them (1 out 6 chance) than to get nightshade poisoning. This is where your religion gets so weird and impractical. Roughly 2/3 of food calories world wide is carbohydrates and we can't give everybody enough to eat as it is. If we went back to "natural' levels of carbohydrate intake (yet to be defined) what is the chance that most of the world would starve very quickly? I accept that there are too many humans but don't you think this method of population reduction is rather harsh? It is simply impossible to get enough calories without grains, tubers and bananas, all high carb foods. Despite all its drawbacks we simply cannot give up farming and become hunter-gatherers, we cannot turn the clock back 10,000 years and specifically we cannot give up farming grain. How do you think the green revolution saved hundreds of millions from starvation? Please don't rabbit on about T2 diabetes, a disease of the people of rich countries who over eat and under excercise, focus on this one question. How do you feed the world for the next 50 years without heavy reliance on farming and consuming high carb crops? In case you missed it I repeat: please don't rabbit on about T2 diabetes, a disease of the people of rich countries who over eat and under excercise, focus on this one question. David David! Where in the world are you getting this bull shit. T2 Diabetes is all over the world, rich or poor. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=philippines+diabetes http://www.charantia.com/about-diabetes/ The Philippines ranks 10th among countries with the highest diabetes incidence worldwide*. An estimated 6 Million Filipinos know they have diabetes. Another 6 Million Filipinos have diabetes but do not know they have it. Health experts believe many more have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and are prone to diabetes. And, that was only one of the hits. And if you want other countries, try: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=diabetes+in+the+third+world http://www.cehjournal.org/article/di...world-problem/ THIS IS A WORLD WIDE EPIDEMIC! The only difference between rich and poor is the test equipment. I will let you guess how they test it in poor countries. (Hint: your kidneys spill glucose at ~160 mg/Dl. World's second worst job.) The problem is that carbs are addictive and cheap. The idea that Diabetes is caused by "over eat and under exercise" is absolute rubbish. They probably move 20 times as much as I do in a day over in the Philippines and eat a hell of a lot less. BUT SURPRISE! THEY EAT RICE! I eat lots of plants. All low carb plants. ALL HAVE BEEN FARMED. ALL HAVE BEEN HYBRIDIZED. The idea is to match what our ancestors ate, not to become them. (Okay, growing it yourself or catching it yourself is fun. Good exercise too.) Farmers need to hybridize the fat up and the carbs down. This will be what finally solves the World Wide Diabetes EPIDEMIC. But, they will have to get past a lot of special interests to do it. "over eat and under exercise" is just the special interests looking guilty say, "Gee Wiz, how did that happen?" With one out of six of us going to be injured by this (perhaps one out of three in the near future), yes, I will warn others. It is the decent thing to do. I will also let others that have already been injured know how they can live a normal life, Diabetes and drug free. Also the decent thing to do. For people who are not already injured, a half a potato here and there won't hurt anyone. Just watch yourself. Eat a variety of food in balance. And, eschew foods that are full of chemicals and have four times the amount of carbs found in nature. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER PLANTS TO EAT! Yummy ones too, especially after your satiation switch normalizes and you get your sense of taste back. I am looking forward to a ton of them this harvest! If I get good at this, maybe I will freeze or bottle some. DRUG AND ALLOPATH FREE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2013! -T |
