Folks say the darndest things!

So my grandma is talking about a someone's daughter who's a vegetarian I heard and since she went to the hospital because she was real feeble and they blamed it on her eating "junk" but then when I questioned thousands of people who go to the hospital daily for various reasons its never their diet but a vegan or vegetarian is always blamed on diet.  All of a sudden I countered like god was lying in Genesis 1:29 because then now white rice, meat, salt and sugar is the best thing for food and organic natural food is bad for us and they said it doesn't have vitamins.     Lol I can't understand how someone's head is that mentally capped.

Folks tend to criticise what they don't understand....very quickly too I might add.

They speak from a perspective of mental programming to think if it ain't the chemicalized foodstuff they ingest day in and day out then its not food.  Also they looking at it like I'm not being cultural as my family is haitian and me not eating what the eat most of the time makes a statement to them that I'm not haitian or its the foods we eat are what makes us "true".  If I cook some food and  my grandma tastes it, she's automatically going to say its nasty if its not really salty or if its not soft enough to chew as if her dental problems are my reality.

I dont like to have thsos types of conversations with those that dont want to learn. I hava a relative that was sick two days last week, takes pills everyday. She caught a cold. She passed it on to me. I tried to offer her natual alternative guess who still has their cold.

I kno what you mean. I just had a long conversation with my mom and aunt about being a raw foodist and how your body can heal itself if you give it the right positive healthy things and they just started snapping like that aint true and you can't live your life just eating fruits and vegetables and your going to get sick and if your just doing this to keep a healthy weight let me tell you I've seen some fat vegetarians and do you know how expensive fruits and vegetables are and blah blah blah so I just stopped talking (lol). I kno what you mean Coolbgdog1 my family is from St.Croix and the minute I disagree with what type of food they're eating or mention somethen healthy they're quick to say"YOU AIN'T KNO ISLAND GYAL" LOL. But Ima still do me regardless

[enlightenmeplz]

I choose not to have those debate anymore. LOL People are going to do want they want to do.  But it is funny 

[Michel]

It be times It be seriously irritating to me, like the other day they was telling my younger cousin not to eat any pineapples because its not good for her since she was near her menstrual cycle.  Because of that they started saying its a poison to little girls and I was like how can a fruit be poison but then you exclude pharmaceutical drugs, meat, dairy and salt and sugar like they good?

Increasingly I'm seeing how outrage people become when you do something different from the main stream. I've been discussing some of the things I'm learning from you all and the this site with friends and family and they're behaving like I'm joining a cult or making leather bags outta human babies.

At first it use to aupset me, but now I just laugh. I still try to pass on the knowledge but if they start behaving like they're about to throw holy water on me...I leave them be.

One lady told me "I use to be a vegetarian and then I had heart bypass surgery...so now I just eat what I want since it didn't prevent my heart problems". Isn't that exquisite logic!!!

If only the lady understood that heart problems are the effect of not just diet and also who's to say she didn't take harmful drugs, smoke, eat lots of processed foods like fast food fries, unhealthy oils, cooked vegetables saturated with processed toppings, think negatively and thus cause her heart needing to be worked on?  I hate when people use that logic as if every vegetarian is the same and plus some people just stop eating meat but then eat excess refined grains and starches and/or still consume salt and sugar on a daily basis.  That's why I don't label myself vegan/vegetarian, I just simply say "you can call me that" but I'm just who I am.

Good point. I am who I am.

Those same points you mentioned ran through my mind as she was telling me all this. If she needs her justification she's welcome to it LOL

When I talk to folks about detoxing and all the bad things that go on with our diets they just roll their eyes at me. Even when I talk about putting my daughter on a detox, that's what really gets them heated. Lol!! I have heard "Why would you do that to her??" "That is dumb, detox yourself, she don't need it" Okay seriously, I am learning some new things about health and wellness, so of course I try to spread the word, but they act like I'm crazy.

I even have one friend who has a horrible vag odor (I know because I have been in the room while she changed or I have gone to the bathroom right after her), she knows it too because we talk about it. Anyway I referred her to the Dherbs article on Vaginal odor and discharge to read. I advised her to try the different detoxes for that problem. She told me, she wasn't doing all that and that Metro gel and Summer's Eve will take care of the problem  . Very shocked and disgusted I was LOL!!! I'm just glad that ain't me.

These are just some of the many situations that happen when you want to share some knowledge with people to help improve their lives. If it is something out of the "norm" then folks will say the darnedest things!!

  Gheesh,

it's obvious that

1.  Summer's Eve and Metro Gel is NOT doing the dayum thing to cure her funky kitty kat
2.  She does not have pride in herself to wanna get rid of the order by ordering the necessary products from Dherbs.com

LMAO!! I tell you its serious, I don't know why people don't understand that if what your doing to cure your ailments isn't working then you must try something else. As a female, that is one of the first things I would be taking care of, but some people are content with covering it up. I also think in a situation like that, when you have those issues, and men don't address it and they still have sex with you esp. RAW...it may end up being okay to them. If a man didn't want to touch you because of that and told you explicitly "Yuck, you stink" then you would take care of it ASAP and not just cover it up.

People do and say the darnedest things, it is just ignorance. I have always kept an open mind and always did my research, because I am very curious about things, I like to understand and learn whenever possible.

Not to be off subject, but when you have females acting like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MntO02WLpk it will make you hang your head in shame and have your mouth wide open in awe!! FOLKS SAY THE DARNEDEST THINGS!! LOL
Okay I could go on and on...I'm out

 

[With Purpose]

I was thinking about this this morning because of something my Dad had said recently. Then I started to think about comments people make. It all seems to come back to them having to undo years of a certain consciousness (lack of time, health, resources, money, knowledge, desire, etc). For instance my Dad is 60. When I think about how he grew up I was like...wow that's how he's been thinking for 60 years! How can that be undone with a few conversations? In addition, he has to DESIRE to undo it. On top of that, that particular consciousness is passed through generations going back hundreds of years perhaps. They pretty much just hold on to those teachings. A lot of people just trust what is told to them without question, especially if the mainstream is doing it or if it comes from certain "authorities".
