Listener Comments

Hello Marcus,
 
I heard your program on WKNY last night and had a few thoughts and a request.  You stated that previously your diet was rich and lavish.  I believe although you don't eat like that, the lifestyle that you promote is not for the average person.  The products that you talk about and have on your menu are for people who are at high income levels.  You did not mention the very high prices of all the super foods and the grass fed meats.  It is just not obtainable for working class people raising a family.  Just look at the community where your restaurant is located.  I grew up there and still have family in Ellenville.  My mom was a single mom raising eight kids, she did all she could do to get those "refined foods" on the table.  Maybe on one of your programs you could narrow it down to one or two foods to begin with so that lower income people would have a chance to benefit from the foods and way of life you talk about.  In closing let me say that you have a wonderful testimony,  please keep educating - just make some of it for the common man.  Oh yes - here's my request.  Do you have a list of super fruits that you could email me?  I would really appreciate it.
 
Blessings - Donna Quiles

Thank you donna for these great comments.

First off, health foods are found on all budgets. And of course junk food is also available across the spectrum.
Kevin Trudeau says in his book Natural Cures They Don't Want You Know About that one can be much healthier by eating raw fruits and vegetables. Apples, carrots, peaches, plums, pears, bananas, cucumbers, celery and so on are much cheaper per lb than any prosecced snack food. These are food straight from Mother Nature. They are packed perfect and just the right size portion. You don't have to read the label and count calories, portion sizes and so on. RAW food is loaded with a vital life force they benefits our bodies. This life force gives us energy straight from the sun, the best source. Snack foods do none of this, and they cost more. Look at the per lb price of potato chips or the fruit in fruit roll-ups.

For dinner try some whole grains, brown rice, beans and lots of veggies. Fill up on a fresh salad with raw veggies and fresh lemon juice and good olive oil. Again pre-made dressing is not a bargain , so spend the money on good olive oil that will contribute to your health. Basically you want to cook food yourself. Pre-packaged food does not look out for our health, they just don't.

Switch to to vegetable proteins. Protein is found in all sorts of foods, not just animal flesh. If you cut down the animal flesh in you diet you will save big at the super market. Tofu, Tempeh, Beans and grains can be a fraction of the price of animal products. Save the animal products for special dinners. And if you do buy cheap animal products you could be buying contaminated products. Look at the current mess from the meat slaughter house in CA. Those animals are very sick and on their death bed before they got there. In fact these cattle were still giving milk just days before they were hauled off to slaughter. No farmer keeps worthless livestock around a farm, it cost too much. So the day they stop milking is the day they get sent off for hamburger meat. This is more of a widespread problem that we think. Check out this link for some chicken info. This is the food that we look for to save money at the grocery store. Usually if it cost more we won't buy it.

When you eat more nutrient rich foods (raw foods) you eat less. Less eating equals less spending on food and health care. My kids will eat a salad for breakfast with sunflower seeds and grapefruits with other raw foods. This is more cost effective than pancakes with syrup, butter, chocolate milk and poptarts. Of course you can also spend more money on Goji Berries, Raw Chocolate, young coconuts, agave and so on. BUT you don't you have to!!!!

It is all about eating as close to Mother Nature as possible. The term whole foods diet fits the best the approach.

Refined foods breakdown our immune system. What we save on certain foods like white flour and white sugar will cause illness in our body. This costs us money.

I can't say this enough, WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
