How much time do you spent touching plastic, and how much fresh or pickled vegetables or fruits? Or for that matter, good fresh clean dirt?
I will add, I don’t know how to put it, but I feel that a big part of our problems stem from the fact that vegetables don’t play the role in our lives that they did for our grandparents, and certainly THEIR grandparents.
There is something in vegetables that is necessary, but not obviously necessary, and I don’t just mean nutritionally. I’m honestly not sure what I mean.
I think veggies help us stay more alkaline with less effort. Our body naturally maintains a fixed PH, but if you keep adding acid to it, getting it back to baseline takes more work, and would think if you ate ONLY foods which wound up lowering your PH that at some point it would be impossible.
But I think veggies have an energetic, calming influence as well. Plants perhaps feel stress, but slowly, and in a very different way from us animals.
