Mmmm Yoga Mat Sandwich! WTF!?!

Ever seen a yoga mat and thought, "Mmmm that would be good with some peanut butter!" or, "Wow! I sure would like to use that yoga mat to make myself a healthy sandwich!"? Of course you didn't! You know why? Cuz that's nuckin futz! But guess what??? If you're not reading the labels on your bread, you could be eating a key ingredient in making yoga mats and other plastics!!!!! Serious? Damn right, I'm fuckin' serious! AZODICARBONAMIDE is found in MANY commercial breads and in MOST fast food restaurants! Think you're eating "fresh" at Subway? Think again!
Now what is this chemical you ask?? Well, it's listed as a "blowing" agent for plastics. This chemical breaks down to biurea, which is a combination of urea (the main component in urine) and hydrazine (a highly toxic chemical used in rocket fuel in WWII and a known carcinogen). Azodicarbonashit, as we will now refer to it as, makes that yoga mat that you're sweating your ass off on nice and comfortable, foamy if you will.  Oh, it also bleaches flour and makes your bread soft too! WTF?!? Yes kiddies, this lovely chemical that is banned in Europe, the U.K., Australia and carries prison time and a $450k fine in Singapore if caught using, is found in your sandwich... *loser's horn from The Price is Right*. Why is this chemical that is "Generally Recognized as Safe" by your FDA banned? Maybe because it's been know to cause skin and eye irritations,  respiratory ailments such as asthma, and may be another way for you to get cancer. No real studies have been done on humans, so it's still safe for us to eat! I mean who wants to wait for flour to bleach naturally (takes about a week at the least) or for dough to rise (azodicarbonashit is a replacement for yeast)? Certainly not the food industry! They need to sell your their shitty product and they promise to get it to you fast!!!! That's what it's all about, right? Turn around, not your health! Shouldn't bread (unless it's fancy with nuts and stuff) have five ingredients or less and no funny stuff??
Fortunately there are many brands that you can trust (if you can't get a bread maker or don't want to bother figuring out how to use the one you got for Christmas in 1995), like Rudi's (pssst! there's a coupon on their website!) or Ezekiel Bread made by Food for Life that can be found in many supermarkets!

Don't eat azodicarbonashit! And if you can't sleep or you really want to torture yourself check out THIS document from the World Health Organization on your favorite foamy bread ingredient!

I almost forgot all the other wonderfully yummy things that might be in your bread: dough conditioners , GMO soybean oil, ammonium sulfate (used in fertilizer), and calcium propionate used as a preservative and only "slightly toxic"! Slightly!

Until next time~

Where the F*&% Can I Get a Good Meal?

My friend David shared this article from NPR's "The Salt" about what counties in the world have the easiest access to nutritious food and clean water. There is enough food in the world to feed EVERYONE, but 900 million people remain starving and 1 BILLION are obese!!!! WTF!?! Read the article to find out how the U.S. fared.

What the Fuck Can I Get at Starbucks?

While adventuring to Starbucks the other night with a friend of mine, she expressed to me that she was concerned about how much sugar was in her grande hazelnut soy latte and asked me if there was anything she could get to cut the sugar and the calories. "Should I order it skinny?" "NO!", I replied! "We've talked about non-fat milk before and nasty sugar substitutes!". Now mind you, most of Starbucks hot or iced espresso drinks, for a grande size, are less than 300 Calories. There are exceptions of course, like a White Chocolate Mocha (470 Calories and 67g of carbohydrates) and a Peppermint Mocha (over 360 Calories and 68g of carbohydrates). People get these EVERYDAY and don't bother to look at the menu for the calorie content or ask for a nutritional guide....So what the fuck can you get? Well if you really like those espresso drinks but want to watch the sugar and or calories, ask the barista for less pumps of syrup, and no whipped cream! Getting soy milk will only increase the amount of sugar (Starbucks uses sweetened, organic, non GMO vanilla soy). OR you can ask for a Grande Hot Coffee (I prefer the dark roast) with 2 pumps of your favorite syrup and a little bit of whatever milk you like for creamer (less than 100 calories and you can even ask for an iced coffee this way). This cuts way way back on the amount of sugar and calories you get while giving you the flavors you love and possibly allowing you to afford one of their yummy La Boulange pastries (which are made from simple ingredients like butter, sugar and flour). OR their Blueberry Oatmeal, made from whole grain rolled and steal cut oats, this awesome breakfast choice has 160 Calories and 28g of good carbohydrates. The Hearty Blueberry Whole-Grain Oatmeal as they call it, is offered with agave syrup and and a "fruit nut and seed medley", I skip the agave (pssst!! it's not all that good for you) and go for the brown sugar (or just take one raw sugar packet from the condiment bar use that) and use half the packet because that's a better choice. Agave syrup contains fructose rather than glucose, which carries a lower glycemic index (making it attractive to diabetics) but too much fructose in your diet can lead to heart disease and ...DIABETUS (as Wilford Brimley would say)!...And those breakfast sandwiches??? Well, I hate to break it to you but they have soybean oil in them, lovely GMO soybean oil. And the lunch sandwiches??? Yup, most of those have that nasty GMO soybean oil too. In fact, I've only come across 3 lunch sandwiches that don't have soybean oil or meat with nitrates, the Turkey Havarti, the Turkey Rustico Panini and the Tomato Mozzarella Panini. Aside from being GMO, soybean oil is some nasty shiznat that can mess with your thyroid, prevent mineral absorption, and contains "anti-nutrients" that can affect your ability to digest protein...Good stuff, huh??....Wanna know the absolute worst thing you can get from Starbucks?? One of Starbucks' biggest sellers... CAKE POPS! Please don't feed these nasty things to your kids! With ingredients like polysorbate 60 which can cause reproductive failure if consumed in large amounts (but who wants to take that risk? not me!)  and titanium dioxide which only belongs in sun screen and can be considered a carcinogen if consumed.... YAY! CAKE POPS FOR EVERYONE! Fuck that!

Just a Spoonful of...Wait, What the F*&% is This?

I've heard many people make the joke, "Well, we're all gonna die of cancer someday! Everything gives you cancer!" If you subscribe to this way of thinking, chances are you'll get your wish. Why?  Because you're probably not taking time the pay attention to what you're consuming. "If it tastes good, I'm gonna eat it.", "Oh, but I wanna be pretty!" "I'm on a diet! I can't eat sugar. I'll take a Venti, Non-Fat, No-Foam, 3 Equal Latte!" WTF!?!
If you think taking out regular processed sugar from your diet and replacing it with a fake sweeteners like ASPARTAME or SPLENDA are gonna make you skinny, guuuurl, you gotta anotha thing comin'! And it aint pretty! When you consume things that have little to no nutritional value, do you know what happens when you actually consume something that is nutritious??? You're body tends to hold on to to that nutrition longer, whatever it is, which can contribute to obesity! You essentially are putting your body into shock by not giving it what it needs. It has no clue when the good stuff is coming next, so when it gets it, it hordes it!!!!!!!!!
We already discussed how non-fat milk has no almost no nutritional value but what about fake sweeteners? Not only do they have NO nutritional value (labeled non nutritive sweeteners), they can make you downright sick! Aspartame, also known as Equal or NutraSweet has been around for public consumption since the 80s and has been known to have toxic side affects!!!! Some of those side effects include, but are not limited to: dizziness, confusion, memory loss, headaches, blurry vision, anxiety, aggravated hypoglycemia and good 'ol diarrhea! Fun right? Just think, how skinny it will make you from crapping your pants. It is "Generally Recognized As Safe" by the FDA though....Generally....So are GMOs.... Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, it's made from our glow in the dark monkey friend, GMO!!!!  Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Someone get me off this UN-merry-go-round! Genetically modified bacteria are used to make this shit!

Splenda "tastes like sugar, because it's made from sugar"! Someone in lab raped a sugar molecule by  removing some of it's water, replaced it with a chlorine atom and called it safe.  Not only does Splenda give you many of the same pleasurable side affects as Asperfuck, but it can also put you at risk for leukemia. Oh and if you want to be diabetic, Splenda's good for that also!  Yup, that non nutritive substance that you're pouring all over your breakfast or baking your goodies with can cause a rise in blood glucose and/or insulin levels. So much for trusting food manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies.... I beg of you, don't let them fool you!!! Pharmaceutical companies are not in the business of curing people. Think about it. I'll give you a minute....Can't figure it out? We'll talk about it another time.
Still wanna be skinny? I have a simple equation... Eat less, move more! And put good things into your body! Not the answer you wanted? Sorry...#sorrynotsorry...
