Who benefits from the Raw Food Trend and what is the philosophical idea based on?

On the one hand, the phenomenon of raw food is presented as something good, trying to free people from the shackles of universal consumer slavery, and is the basis of the foundation of this liberation. Having switched to "proper nutrition", over time, a person will begin to think about his role here, about his actions and deeds.

Did he live “right” all this time, did he eat the right food, did he think “right” … But this very “right” haunts. What does "right" mean? Here the raw food diet is being transformed from a simple diet into an ideology that encompasses not only nutrition, but also other aspects of human life.

A raw food diet begins to form an intellectual matrix, the thoughts of a single individual, a view of certain things. At this stage, a raw food diet ceases to be just a look at human nutrition and goes into a philosophical stage. A raw food diet is a paradigm that offers a new vision of the world, a fresh perception of the world, being a new religion or ideology that affects all aspects of human life. Trying to break the old, familiar ideas about morality and matter, a raw food diet is replacing them with a new idea. Therefore, a raw food diet is not just a diet - it is a religious-philosophical model of understanding reality.

Let's consider the average person who came to this ideology. The question arises: how to distinguish the average person from all the individuals professing these views? Let's turn to the communities and analyze their composition. From a social network I took one community of about 20 thousand members. Of these, 13 thousand are women, 6, 7 thousand are men. It follows that the average person will be female, since there are 2 times more women than men. Now let's analyze the women. As a rule, according to my modest estimates, girls join the community who watch their figure, shape, i.e. use a raw food diet precisely as a diet that burns excess weight. If you go to any community dedicated to raw food, you will see a lot of photos and videos of someone losing weight and showing their body and, therefore, many positive comments at the bottom of the file.

So, as an average person, we have a girl who follows her figure, striving to lose weight, or vice versa, not to gain excess weight. What views will this girl hold? Often secular, non-religious. He prefers comfort, a luxurious life, prosperity, wants to have a beautiful body, not just slim, but pays too much attention to his body. But there are also many girls with opposite views, i.e. those who respect the family, home comfort, an idle lifestyle, healthy food, life in the fresh air. So, not knowing who is more, let's take these two options, i.e. consider one representative from each group of these girls. By and large, it doesn't matter which girl to take, this does not change the question. So we will not pay attention to this for now. The main criterion of views is the absence of traditional, orthodox beliefs and views (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, shamanism, Lamaism, scientific atheism) inherent in the North Eurasian region, there are exceptions, but very small and, as a rule, are presented only in words. Those. people come to a raw food diet not from already established, traditional confessions / teachings, but from some of their own ideas, as a rule, simply theistic. And it should be noted that scientific atheism, which was in Soviet times, is quite different from the atheism or agnosticism of our average person. As a rule, Esoterics, New Age, Neopaganism are traced in the views. According to political views, this is either pronounced liberalism (ultraliberalism), or complete political indifference, i.e. indifferent political views.

HOW A PERSON WILL KNOW ABOUT A RAW FOOD?

I suppose, most often from videos, then - with the help of word of mouth from someone, often seeing the reports of people who have already been practicing raw food for a long time on various sites, i.e. accidentally went to the site from a search engine, by a thematic query (for example, "losing weight", "healthy eating"). A person is immediately carried away by interesting material, an extraordinary approach to life, bold statements and an attempt to debunk the usual stereotypes of society.

Yes, indeed, our society is hung in various kinds of filth and lies. Food is of disgusting quality, the environment is polluted, people are sick in every possible sense. Humanity is kept in a kind of slavery by the world financial capital, which consists of large monopolies, transnational corporations, and network structures. Those. there is a transition of capitalism to its final stage - Imperialism and the above are the consequences of such a transition. K. Marx, V. Lenin and even the representative of liberalism, Adam Smith, wrote about this in detail, so now we will not talk about it …

The desire of a person to get rid of all this is quite understandable and logical. Every reasonable person understands that there is a lot of dirt in the modern world. What is there - the whole portal to Volny - Will! built on the criticism of all this "dirt", but criticism - criticism is different! The only question is this. And so I provide my subjective analysis of the raw food diet, because not all information offered to a person as a blessing is a blessing. "Not everything is useful that got into your mouth!" - this wisdom is also known to raw foodists, but it is also true in the informational sense: "Not everything is useful that got into the brain!"

WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHICAL IDEA OF RAW FOOD BUILDING ON?

If a person is sure that eating only plant food in a thermally unprocessed form is "proper nutrition", there is a blessing, then thermally processed food (in particular, animal food) is evil. Raw foodists are convinced that most (or even all) diseases arise from a person's "wrong diet" and that mainstream science deceives people by stuffing them with the wrong food, medicines, etc. from childhood. In principle, the logic is clear here and it is much more "iron" than it might seem at first glance. Regardless of whether the raw foodists are right or not, one thing I can say with the highest degree of certainty: our diet is wrong with you and what you and I eat is not food at all, but only a product of corporations, produced with the aim of maximizing profit. Here we again return to capitalism and its destructiveness for humanity. What is the goal of the capitalist? Getting as much surplus value (profit) as possible from the sale of goods produced by his company. Those. the goal is not to feed people, to satisfy their hunger, but only to receive money, as much as possible. Hence the quality of products (all), savings on the means of production and labor. This means that it is profitable for the capitalist to promote his goods to the masses, despite the fact that its quality is low, it means that it is profitable for him to lobby for various laws according to which his production will receive the highest profit. It is profitable for him to create such conditions in order to push his product into the market as much as possible. So it is logical to assume that all the food that we are used to eating is just a product of the successful pushing of their goods by various capitalists.

It is also logical to say that all the habits that we have formed over time are the product of the successful "pairing" of these habits to us. Hence, according to this logic, we can say that the use, for example, of meat products is the promotion of their products by farmers, i.e. if everyone stops eating meat, farmers will go bankrupt, and in order to stay "afloat," farmers' associations are forced to impose their meat on everyone. At least in alcohol and tobacco products, this is exactly how it happens. So if some can do this, then others too.

It turns out that if all food and products are only imposed junk, which is not necessary for a person, then everyone who understands this should try to get rid of such junk. A person who professes such views comes to this conclusion. Those. Ideally, a raw foodist should strive to free himself from any kind of food intake altogether, going through some stages of this gradual liberation. First, vegetarianism, then a raw food diet, then a mono-raw food diet, then a transition to juices, and a gradual transition to sun-eating (prano-eating) and eating with cosmic energy, i.e. complete absence of material food. What is this if not a religion?

A raw food diet is a new religious and philosophical trend that is gaining momentum among a certain kind of people with similar views and attitudes; the foundation on which a new religious movement is already being built. As with any views, be they religious, philosophical or political, the raw food diet has a high point, which is worth striving for, improving yourself in any way. In Christianity, the highest point is the Kingdom of Heaven, in Buddhism - Nirvana, emptiness. In socialism - communism, in capitalism - imperialism. In a raw food diet, the highest point is the ability of a person to free himself from the shackles of material consumption.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE HAZARDS OF RAW EATING?

Here I will be doubly subjective. Since the apologists of the raw food diet cannot provide any clear scientific evidence, because there is, in principle, no such evidence yet, then I, in turn, will not give them, but only ask questions …

But what if such a systematic non-use of certain substances with food will cause any changes in the human body? Without going into details, whether a healthy diet is a raw food diet or not, one cannot ignore the fact that a person has consumed a certain food for some time and thus got used to it. And moreover, his ancestors many generations ago consumed food in exactly the same form, therefore, his genetic mutations took place taking into account the dietary habits - the genes recorded information about what kind of food a person should eat and in what form. Here I am not arguing about whether a raw food diet is harmful or useful, whether it is a cure for all diseases or not, I simply state the facts that our ancestors did not eat like raw food for a long time, therefore, a certain hereditary eating habit was formed and, it became to get rid of it, you need the same number of generations to eat raw food. Then genetic mutations will occur, and the person will get used to a raw food diet.

This means that if a person does not systematically eat the substances habitual for his body, then his body will experience starvation and deficiency in them. In this regard, raw foodists argue that a person begins to receive all the necessary substances from raw food by adapting the body to a new type of nutrition. Those. will adapt and will receive everything necessary from raw food. Hence the famous vaunted raw food economy. Like, when you eat like this, you don't really need cutlery, pots, gas, an electric stove and much more. You save time for cooking. Those. less money is spent, and, therefore, a tremendous blow to the surplus value of the capitalist. Those. a raw food diet is not beneficial to the capitalist, since it ruins him. Consequently, opponents of a raw food diet should first of all be lobbyists of some capitalists, and only then ordinary skeptics with critical thinking and trolls …

Suppose, nevertheless, that some substances necessary for the body still do not enter the body with food for a long time. Well, for example, if there is a deficiency of calcium, then problems with teeth will begin, with a deficiency of vitamin C, things can reach scurvy, etc. So here, the substances do not enter, which means that some deviations develop. The newly made raw foodist initially gets a beautiful figure and a lot of emotions from the effect obtained (I remind you that the main goal of the average raw foodist, according to my data, is precisely the desire to have a beautiful body, and then everything else), but the result in the future is often disastrous. After all, the future for many has not yet come, and the endorphins (hormones of pleasure), produced while contemplating their figure, intoxicate people, preventing them from thinking critically. The state is comparable to falling in love, when a person loses his head due to chemicals produced by the body.

I believe that the danger will come later, and it may somehow affect the offspring of a person. After all, if the use of any substances, for example, alcohol, affects the offspring, then not using the substances necessary by default should also have a detrimental effect on the offspring. But what if this leads to degeneration altogether? By analogy with GMO products. There is information that during the experiment of domestic geneticists when using GMO soybeans, hamsters did not give the 3rd generation, i.e. in the second they were born sterile. What if, in the case of a raw food diet, the negative effect will manifest itself later, in the future, like a time bomb. Many raw food advocates will say that there is plenty of evidence when a raw food family has “healthy” children. They are born, and the second generation was born to hamsters, but what about the third? After all, such a bold diet is clearly a blow to genes, and genes are bad jokes!

Actually, this was the main possible danger from a raw food diet, which interested me. It is a raw food diet that is like a ticking time bomb. In many discussions with raw foodists, non-raw foodists argue that it is allegedly impossible to eat like that, that raw foodists are actually deceiving everyone and secretly eating animal food. No, why is it so. There are numerous experiments, people eat, then lose weight before our eyes, they feel normal, they even say that they are pumping up muscles. I believe it, otherwise it would have fizzled out very soon. But the danger, in my opinion, lies elsewhere, in what I actually described above.

Who benefits from raw food?

The raw food diet came to Russia from the United States, as you might guess. This means that the most popular, promoted raw foodists are somehow connected with the United States. Immediately, the brain gives out a conspiracy theory that a raw food diet is imposed on people through the mechanisms of various kinds of environmental organizations. In addition to a raw food diet, vegetarianism is also very popular. Many famous people are promoting vegetarianism, performing in promotions. They launch this information in the primary source into the network, and then it scatters and copies itself, like a colony of bacteria. People come across another video with another overseas raw food eater and, admiring his words, a beautiful picture of the video sequence, form their opinion. Then they shoot their videos, write articles and distribute them on the Internet, after which the information is distributed among the population.

When you watch such videos, you can determine that the target audience of this propaganda is people with a specific life position, those who are predisposed to a raw food diet. The authors speculate on human feelings, facts, draw conclusions and thereby form the opinions of the masses. This is how any propaganda is built. The same thing happens in politics, in political propaganda and in any other - the methods are the same.

It is known that some environmental organizations are supervised by representatives of the world's financial capital. Representatives of the most influential families, big bankers. Yes, our conversation goes deeper and deeper into the conspiracy jungle, but there is no conspiracy thesis here. For example, the well-known Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is criticized by many, the Rockefeller Foundation, J. Soros Foundation (Open Society Institute), USAID. All this is a lot of money! And just surnames, whose speakers are extremely disliked by Russia, China, India, African, Asian, South American Third World countries: Rothschild, Morgan, Warburg, Baruch, Schiff, G. Kissinger, Z. Brzezinski, etc. The same can be said about the presence of closed (but not secret) organizations, such as the Club of Rome, Bohemian Grove, Bilderberg Club, Trilateral Commission - this makes you think about a lot. Look for information about them, do not be lazy!

In general, if you do not go deeply into the details (on the Internet everyone can find this information), then in a nutshell we can say that the raw food diet as an ideology is trying to fight the world financial system in the person of individual capitalists, small companies, factories, which together represent a single capital. But the sad irony is that a raw food diet is encouraged by this very capital through various organizations, famous people and all kinds of different entertainers filming their videos.

Raw food apologists might argue with me that the raw food diet has been around for a long time. Perhaps, I will not argue, but it began to gain popularity relatively recently. There are some forces that, oh, how would they like to reduce the population of our planet to unprecedented sizes, and for this reason they invent, or to be precise, simply support the existing currents, which, in their opinion, contribute to the achievement of the goal. Any fashion - for musical groups, styles, films, religious or political trends of our time, etc. are controlled by influential people. And only those who satisfy the requirements of their impresario are supported and gain popularity in the future. You will say: well, how, if all people stop eating in the old way - then these people will go bankrupt? Yes, no one will go bankrupt, they have already grabbed so much money for themselves that they cannot carry it away. They don't need money now, but power! Think about it, dear reader, and draw the appropriate conclusions !!!
