Men Are Becoming The Weaker Sex, And That’s A Problem For Everyone

[Gefn]

Somehow, it's just not the same on Sean Connery as on the current generation of hothouse flowers ... 

Hmmm. If there is an exception to every rule, James Bond is sexy in anything.

But then I'm not Mr. Blackwell or Tim Gunn on fashion.

I sometimes wonder about all the soy in the typical American processed food diet, as well as the plastic products that the food is stored in. We make most of our food from scratch, even granola, and store almost averything in glass. When we do use plastic it's always cold food into the container and the food is never reheated in the plastic.

At 55, I was suffering from LowT as found, shortly after my divorce. Against my doctors wishes, I denied treatment, as I wanted to see what would happen in a year's time with the new lifestyle I had embarked upon.

I was overweight, which doesn't help. fat and estrogen go together. With weight loss, natural spring water, absence of plastic, a near absence of processed foods, additions of whole foods, home canned foods, foraged foods, locally processed meat and wild meat...

Basically going back to the sticks, and guess what? within a year, T levels are fine and still going up. So I believe you.

He does serve as a mitigating factor, I admit...

We try to eat like people did pre-WWII. Butter not margarine, whole milk not skim, and honey not sugar (and very little at that). Other gen-x parents call me "that mom," but my kids aren't obese or ADHD. Well, number one is on the high functioning end of the spectrum, but for us that's even more of a reason to eat real food.

I am getting there - Probably not as good at it as y'all... Me being without a woman, this is all new to me.
But yeah, first thing to go once I was on my own was the margarine. and the blue or white cap milk. Only red-cap for me, if I can't get it straight out of the cow... which I prefer. Still probably too much sugar, but only normally in my sweet tea (*which I know is a lot, but way better than soda pop)...

High consumption of fermented foods (really good, can't say enough), high consumption of fresh and home canned foods. Almost *no processed 'box' foods at all. I was still using Kraft Mac for a while there... till I figured out how to make the real thing - Man, what a difference!

And that's the thing - I eat really good, tasty food, and it is by comparison super cheap! Take all that processed crap out of your system, and the cost is stunningly cheaper. Especially with a garden, and hunting, fishing, and foraging! And the extra time it takes in cooking is glorious! The anticipation alone makes everything taste so much better. Sitting there smelling it on the stove, the whole house filling up with delicious smells...

Our food system is killing us, and pacifying us. I couldn't tell folks any better than to eat what God put here, and leave the rest alone!

It's illegal in my state for me to purchase and feed my family raw milk. That tells me everything I need to know about the health benefits of raw milk. If big gov hates it, I love it.

It is here too, though there is a measure going through the state house to get rid of it... Doesn't matter much . Most folks flat ignore it.

Make scratch chocolate pudding with real cream and you will never go back  to jello!

When you are in the hospital with your kidneys having failed due to e-coli from drinking raw milk let me know how great it is. There is a reason we no longer drink out of lead pipes and no longer zinc plate our drinking glasses.

Do you really think the gov't does not want you to drink raw milk because it is healthy?

The gov't has anti smoking ads..I guess you will say smoking is healthy because big gov't  is against it.

Oh the uninformed 

Can somebody tell me how to put this bleep on ignore? I'm sick of him following me from thread to thread.

So I beat you with common sense and wisdom  and you put me on ignore..lol



You are not dictator  I am allowed to respond to your post as you are mine.

Do you really think in the 1860's when they started pasteurization it was due to big gov't forcing them?

Nearly everything you eat is pasteurized. canned foods, juices.

@goodwithagun

[mirraflake]

@goodwithagun

If you can foods at home you are pasteurizing the jars when you heat them..  Is big gov't telling you to do that? LOL

Thank you! That's the first time I've ever had to do that. Even when I disagree with somebody I am at least interested in thier opinions. This one follows me around and posts contradictory things for the sake of being contradictory. Sheesh. Imagine that life?

[EC]

You are most welcome - just gave me a smile that I'd already written it for someone else today.

I'll put people on ignore for a day or so when I lose my temper with them. My normal posts frequently strain the language filter as it is, so putting myself in a wee timeout stops the site crashing.

This is the first time I have posted to you out of the blue.. You are the one that has been following me around..

Care to show me where  I am wrong on pasteurization?

This was written by the uninformed...

Industry figures show that sales of shaving and hair removal products fell by 5 per cent between 2015 and 2016, from £598m to an estimated £567m.

Know why these numbers are falling? Because chicks are getting waxed and lasered instead. All the chicks I know are not shaving anymore and instead are having someone else do it.

Chicks?  CHICKS???

HAhahahaha!   You date yourself, sir.  (somebody's gotta do it)

Oh, HOW did Man EVER get along without this Ninny state government to lead him (and yes, I spelled it right)?

Do you really think that for thousands of years - Thousands of years now - How did man get by all that time without?
Sorry, that is not true.

that is not true either.

I eat very few canned foods, and those are mainly canned myself. Big gov neither invented nor taught me canning I try to stick with dehydrated as much as possible. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt to soak beans overnight, but they are so much creamier than the canned.

People spend thousands a year trying to make their homes as sterile as possible - including the food - then wonder why they fall prey to any bug that comes along.

SNORT! I was raised on whole milk, right from the cow. So were pretty near all of my friends. No body got sick. In fact, we mostly kicked the crap outa the city boys.

The government makes PLENTY of mistakes, and so does science. And raw milk is perfectly fine.

The hillbillies drink right from mountain streams their whole lives - They laugh at filtration straws, and 'boil your water' scare tactics. WHY?

[Sighlass]

@goodwithagun

If the government was honest, it would have anti-gay ads. One is PC safe and the other isn't. This is your brain on drugs, this is you taking a cocktail of drugs the rest of your life so you don't waste away before you're 30.

Exactly. Though, to give full disclosure, I'd probably semi boil the water from your streams for a couple weeks, until my body got used to its new hitchhikers - different continent, different bugs. Don't mind making tea for a while instead of just water. But anywhere here, I just drink it.

I would say a full 25% of my diet is now fermented. It would be hard for me to separate dry goods, dehydrated, and home canned, as my dinner is normally sourced out of all three combined... but I can tell you the entire collection of factory canned food is 3 cases of french cut beans (screamin deal, and hard to make), and a case of diced tomatoes, and a case of Nalley's chili...

And I might add, this is late spring so stocks are low. I will have to buy from the store, most likely, for a month or two to augment till early garden comes in... I am not exactly against it in the short term.

Tho I hate dry beans, I do.
I always forget to put them on the soak the night before. I am not all that good at long distance planning. More spur-of-the-moment, and beans get in my way. LOL!
