Although I have been trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, I find that it is very difficult in a world that tries to alter nature. Besides staying away from animal products, refined grains, soda, high fructose corn syrup, as well as parabens in beauty products, I abstained from eating seedless fruits. I figured they were hybrids because plants must have seeds to reproduce. However, I never thought much about vegetables like carrots, beets, corn, potatoes, beans, rice, and wheat as being hybrids. I knew that some of the items I just named were likely to be genetically engineered if they were not organic, but you can buy organic versions of each of these foods.
I learned that these are foods that will not grow naturally without human intervention. I briefly learned about this last year during my fast - at least about carrots. I also remember reading books by Dr. Laila Afrika such as Nutricide and Afrikan Holistic Health. The words were seeds planted in my mind. The seeds started to grow as I watched a presentation on YouTube by Dr. Sebi. Dr. Sebi discussed hybrid foods as well as many other topics. After watching his presentation I thought about the foods I eat and realized quite a few of the foods I consume are hybrids - corn, carrots, beans, wheat, rice, cashews, and walnuts. I thought if those are all unnatural, what will I eat? Of course there are alternatives, but either they can be difficult to find or I just don't eat them often.
I believe that nature provides all we need. Human beings try to break everything down to protein, carbohydrates, fats, calories, etc. The life force contained in a piece of food can not be duplicated in a laboratory. I also don't believe that humans need to cross breed or alter the genes of plants to make them better. They were created perfectly. Now people are pushing to grow "meat" in a laboratory. Who knows the effect this unnatural "food" will have on human bodies? I don't think it is an animal-friendly solution. Most people crave authenticity, and it may push a lot of people to have more of the real thing. There are people looking for grass-fed cows now. The majority of cows are fed grain, and even though people eat them anyway, folks say that naturally fed cows taste better. To me, there is a big difference between fresh squeezed juice and store bought juice the taste and the life force is just not there, so I wouldn't be tempted to consume laboratory grown food.
