If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Health & Nutrition: Information Stupid

Food Fight #24: The TKO

What do coconut milk, avocado and nuts have in common? At the basic level they all come from plants. Some of us believe they are opponents and should be foods of concern since we are told they are high in fat and calories. Wow! This is what I call “information stupid.” We allow jab after jab of ill-formed information to knock us senseless and out of the fight of our lives.

If we believe something from a plant is unhealthy then we've completely lost our sense of connection. The first question should be, “Is it intended to be eaten by humans?” After that, it's not necessary to go through experts, scientists and researchers to comprehend basic truths about food.

Vitamins, calories, fat, etc. are the minutia. Too much of this type of information has come between us and our spiritual intelligence when it comes to knowing what to eat. These details are just more jabs of information but a jab will do us in.

Food comes from natural sources. Food comes from plants and animals. Food does not have to have nutrition added to it because food is nutrition and nutrition is food. If our diets consisted of an array of foods, then what we eat would not have to be fortified or supplemented.

When discussing fruit with people, several have interjected, “That contains a lot of sugar!” My response, “It comes from a plant.” My silent response, “What the hell!”

If we ate a wide variety of food mostly from plants, we wouldn't need to know what food contains what nutrient. Natural sense is the only expert advice we need.

One thing we can be certain of: If it comes from a plant that is intended for human consumption, eat, drink and do not be wary. Spend more time asking, “How is this food grown? How is it handled? How is it processed? Is anything unnecessary or harmful added? How am I preparing it? Also, if it interacts with medicine then should I be taking something made by man and avoiding something made for my health by my Creator?”

Spiritual/Intuitive Side

Food helps put us in concert with what sustains life. This also means, the more and more we eat food and food only, the greater our chances of getting in tune with what we should/shouldn't eat and what information we should/shouldn't swallow. We would then be able to dodge jabs of information every fighter knows will be thrown at them but just like them, shouldn't cause us to count ourselves out.
