Or, succinctly:
Be wealthy,
in a community with easy access to organic foods,
with enough time to shop every day (so your constantly perishable food doesn’t sit in the fridge for more than a day or two),
and enough time to prepare things from fully raw ingredients,
and never, ever be frustrated with your lot in life,
even if it’s full of systemic oppression.

CELTIC SEA SALT? Ugh, whatever.

I’m reblogging this primarily for the bit about “naturally raised proteins”. If you don’t own a farm, a real farm, or know someone who does, you will have almost ZERO CHANCE of getting anything resembling naturally raised meat. At least in the U.S. Trust me, no steak you ever ate came from cattle that was roaming around in a field, doing what cattle do/does, ate what God intended it to, and was completely devoid of genetic engineering, hormones, antibiotics, etc. If there are any such places left, it’s only because the corporations haven’t found them and bought them out. This is even more true of pork and especially true of chicken. All that being said, the list above is an admirable and worthwhile pursuit. I have no idea if it’s realistic or not, without a time machine.

while what MMM and Lemdi say is all totally true what aggravates me the MOST about this list (other than it’s unapologetic elitsm) is 19. Is the idea of equating spiritualism with eating expensive foods. It’s simply another religious (or spiritual, because you don’t believe in organized religion right? you’re more evolved than that! You are spiritual!) hierarchy that seeks to elevate the fortunate and the clean as god’s (or the universe’s or goddes’s) chosen children. Nothing makes me angrier. The poor unwashed masses who live in subsidized housing and buy factory-bred chicken? Also children of the universe.
This list makes me shudder on a very fundamental level.

As usual, Ammo says what I was reluctant to and incapable of saying so succinctly. It bugs me too. I just singled out one thing.

did Gwyneth Paltrow write this for her GOO website?
