Читать книгу Freedom from the Diet Trap: Slim for Life - Jason Vale, Jason Vale - Страница 40

Some unfortunate people have lost the ability to exercise control over what they eat or drink. It was reported that Barry Austin was told he would die unless he slimmed, and he went through the drastic measure of having his stomach stapled. I also understand that when he was 19 he had his jaws wired together which lasted for four months and he lost 4 stone (25 kg) in that time because all he could consume was soup. I imagine his life was hell, especially at Christmas when he saw all the beautiful food laid out in front of him and knew he couldn’t take part. Can you imagine the torture he must have been going through? Apparently, his family liquidized his roast dinner and pudding for him to drink but on seeing the mush he was supposed to drink, his desperation was such that he ripped the wires out with wire cutters, leaving his mouth bleeding in agony. Do you think he goes through all this for a hamburger because he simply likes the taste? Is it possible that there is more to it? Is it possible he is simply mentally and physically addicted to drug foods in the same way a nicotine addict is addicted to cigarettes? It is not just possible but once we start to really look at it, it becomes obvious. It is not his genuine choice to do this – given the choice he would just eat healthily. Given the genuine freedom of choice we would be free to eat what he wants to eat. He doesn’t want to eat that rubbish, he is just compelled to – for reasons unknown to him

The reason I have used Barry as an example is to illustrate the point that often it is not our genuine choice to eat certain ‘foods’. We have simply been conditioned and brainwashed by BIG FOOD and BIG DRINK on both a mental and physical level to the point where we get upset and even angry if we feel we can no longer eat certain things, even if those foods are making us ill. Unless you start to realize what is going on, you are in danger of remaining in the food and diet trap for life. The point of this book is to set you mentally free, so that you can eat whatever you want to and not what someone has conditioned you to in order to boost their bank balance. This can only happen if you fully understand how BIG FOOD, the very people who are peddling drug and junk foods, go about their business.
