deaf ears

 I am not a very smart person,  but there are a couple of things I know a fuck lot about...things I have studied and researched and implemented in my own life.  

1-dogs.   I know a shit lot about dogs, breeds, personalities, abilities, characteristics, training etc....I have run dog parks, kennels, and volunteered in dog rescue.  I have adopted, fostered and loved so many dogs in my life, I can't count them all.  I know how to "read" a dog, the warnings dogs give, the "non warnings" dogs give...I know dog breeds that are not good for households with children,  I know dog breeds that are wonderful for families.  I KNOW DOGS.

2-so called christianity.  I know first hand the hypocrisy of organized religion.  I have studied many many different religions, I have read the Bible cover to cover twice, I have read the Book of Mormon, I have studied Islam, Hinduism and the like.  I have seen first hand a "pastor" lying to his congregation.  I have been sexually assaulted, harassed and all that by "leaders of Baptist" churches...I have seen people come into the church who needed help financially, even members of said church, and the secretaries stating they could not help them "because they have not tithed to the church"  I was there, I was a church secretary, a sunday school leader, VBS worker, GAs leader....I have been on the inside of the "reality" of the "business of church" and that is exactly what it is, a business.  It is not a ministry, its a money making business, pure and simple....So this I know for certain "church is not church"....

3-nutrition.   Because of my dietary issues, I have studied varied nutritional avenues, from vegetarianism to Mediterranean diet.  I know which additives given to food is a cancer causer.  I know what fast food does to the heart,  I know how to eat healthy without breaking the bank...I am acutely aware of how the food industry works, having worked in grocery stores, and restaurants.   I know about fillers and additives and food coloring and food enhancing chemicals...all used in pre-packaged foods.   I am an expert in this field, because I have to learn about food,  for my own diet.  I have learned to "eat to live, not live to eat"....

But the problem with all my knowledge is that the people close to me, disregard my opinions and experience and knowledge.  Particularly when it comes to the food industry and cancer causing, heart attack causing, diabetes causing foods....

Now take all that knowledge and try to implore to someone you love to "please listen to me, and try and change your eating habits."  I am doing nothing but pissing into a fan....I am poo-pooed and dismissed.

The person I love most in this world, the person I want to live a long time with, refuses to take his diet seriously, know fucking matter what I say....Because in his mind, I don't know shit...I have been eating like this for years and I am doing fine....but all that eating like that for years will catch up to him, and I will be left alone in this world.   I have begged him to read the ingredients,  look at all the fake food additives, look at the list of shit and chemicals in those foods....but its all about the "cheaper" ones,  the ones he buys to save money.....Yet at the same time, he will spend stupid amounts of money on collectables and tools, but when it comes to his health, fuck that, cheap is the way to go....he would rather support a football team over supporting his health or me, for that matter.

Yesterday, I was helping him with his groceries...even after all my pleading, he still brought home crap food...I took this as a slap in the face.   I took this to mean "I don't care what you think or feel, I am gonna do what I am gonna do, what I have always done"  so fuck you very much.

I am tired of speaking truth about his horrible diet habits...if he wants to kill himself with chemical food and leave me alone....so be it.   I am going to start distancing my "love" for him...just like I am distancing myself from the "love" I feel for my kids and dad....they are gonna do what they are going to do and fuck me very much....

Same with religion....I only speak truth about the southern baptist, and all I get is "push back" no love, no understanding, not even a constructive argument....I am shut down by family, because they know the actual fucking truth about baptist is not christian at all, but greed and money.  And the power of money and influence over "suckers and losers" that hang on their every word and give them all their money....

You see this in pharmaceutical commercials, in grocery store chains and food companies...they know what they are doing, they are taking advantage of people who are to ignorant and lazy to look at their decisions in purchasing food, or medications...

Same with the dog business....Labradoodles selling for 1000 dollars...labradoodles are mutts, not purebreds, yet they are making money from stupid people thinking they are getting a "purebred".  Puppy mills push out purebreds with little regard for proper nutrition, medical care and the like...its nothing but a money making business.   

Puppy mills are all about money

Pharmacies are all about money

Church's are all about money

the food industry is all about money

And so there it is.....Greed trumps rational thinking, greed trumps good nutrition, greed trumps regulations for breeding animals, greed trumps Christianity and WWJD...

Nobody gives a rats ass if what you know and are saying is actually true....so what?  Its all about money.   My friend knows I am somewhat of an expert about healthy eating, but he does not fucking care, again, its all about money over health...this is cheaper, I will save money, so I can use that money to by collectables, while the company who over prices these items are laughing all the way to the bank....collectables do not make your body more healthy, they just leave more shit to get rid of when you die of heart disease or cancer because you saved a few bucks at the grocery store buying shit, and supporting the very shit companies that are killing you!  WAY TO FUCKING GO

I am done with trying to teach anyone about dogs, religion, and nutrition...I don't matter and my words just fall on deaf ears.
