Let’s converse on diet, nutrition and intelligence.

I’m not the smartest guy on the planet, but I am the smartest guy in the room most of the time. (Not this room, calm down). I believe diet and nutrition deeply affect cognitive ability and function, I therefore closely monitor my diet by only eating things I prepare and Limiting the supplements I take while making sure they are of the utmost purity and quality.

As I walk around somewhat fit from my five days a week at the gym, and feeling pretty sharp and intuitive due to my diet high in vegetables and lean meats, I notice so many people not doing what I do. Mostly I notice what the folks in front of me have in their shopping carts at the grocery store and I wonder how these fat fucks are even functioning. Literally, I see carts full of non food items.

The truth is most stupid Americans are eating this shit and it’s a wonder we are still viable as a country with so many people literally retarded from the food they consume.

There is no way the human brain and body can function from the center of the grocery store. The good stuff is on the perimeters, stay out of the center of the store. Doritos is not food.

Plus, a bag of potatoes and a package of meat costs far less than the pre-digested shit in the rest of the store. The trick is that you have to expend a minimal amount of effort preparing it.

minimal amount of effort preparing it.

It definitely saves money, but I spend a lot of time cooking personally.

Well, yes, but batch cooking & freezing does help reduce the total effort to return for me.

Plato said it in the Republic, starch and fat for slaves and real food for kings.

I think that quality fats are really important.

Greece had a Mediterranean diet. Eating red meat and fat was considered "lowly". It persisted up to the end of the Roman Empire when Romans found Germanics and Scandinavian tribes who lived mostly on game, and they were on average taller and stronger.

And contrary to popular belief, they also had fish, forage and even some farming knowledge. The issue was they were mostly nomadic. France has many wineyards famous for joining best practices of Roman, Greek, Spaniard and Indo-Iranian wine techniques, the only place in the world this happened in such a fertile grassland region.

I think that it's with food and water supply that they've been able to poison most. Nutrition aside, look at all of the potential endocrine disruptors. You've got glyphosate 4, 2D or whatever and that can even be in your veggies that you're preparing for yourself, even.

Trick people into using that stuff on their own lawns and crops or buying products that used it for a few decades.

It's no wonder that there is an increase in people with body dysmorphia with all of the crap out there that affects hormones..

So, sure avoid processed garbage. Also, avoid non-organic food, plant a garden and raise some animals for meat.
