>Richard Keene writes: The high productivity rates are due to people
>chooseing to have lots of children.² If this is so, please explain why a
>couple which cannot afford to nourish themselves properly nor to feed their
>kids the nourishing diet they require would choose to keep having more
>babies, one right after the other????
>
>Hereıs my hunch (donıt know if itıll offend anyone....bit I wonıt worry
>about it): Because their God/Agricultural Religion teaches them to ³be
>fruitful and multiply² and to ignore the natural world, i.e., the limits of
>the land, nature, their budget. HGs understood nature and her carrying
>capacity better than we moderns. (You must read "Nutrition & Physical
>Degneration" by Weston Price and look at the pictures! It should be on the
>Paleo Diet Page book list!)
>
>Christians are told that children are a blessing and never to be viewed as
>a hardship..... even if the womanıs health is compromised by lack of
>adequate spacing of children. (HGs practiced deliberate spacing of
>children, using 3 years apart...and long-term breast feeding...which many
>modern women canıt do because they are on deficient diets and are unable to
>produce adequate amounts of breast milk.
>
> Why donıt these people practice birth control, even if a non-invasive
>method such as NFP is available and practiced by some Christians? My
>hunch: Their religion teaches them that their bodies are dirty and evil.
>Talking about sex, sexuality, oneıs urges, planning when you will and wonıt
>DO IT, is viewed as sinful. Besides, they shouldnıt touch themselves DOWN
>THERE. Never mind that in order to practice NFP a woman must reach up
>THERE and check her cervical opening, examine her mucous, record it, then
>share the info with her mate. Then, THEY them must consciously decide to
>practice impulse control, to express their love for each other in
>non-sexual ways, i.e., channel their sexual energy (really nothing more
>than life energy) into other non-sexual activities. This goes against the
>GRAIN of agricultural religions.
>
>The more babies a woman on a protein and EFA deficient diet has, the less
>DHA she has in her brain; the less impulse control she has; the less DHA
>she has to pass on to her babies; and the more problems we all have in the
>world due to kids running around with margarine (rather than a lack of
>essential nutrients) installed in their brains.... the less intelligent the
>next generation...the less impulse control they have. If you donıt believe
>me.... I have references. Vegetarian and vegan women have low levels of
>DHA and so does their breast milk. Many poor women eat low protein diets
>and suffer from the same, as do their babies. (Those who want to know more
>can read Crawford and Marshıs book ³Nutrition and Evolution.²)
>
>If you ask me, agricultural religions are a major cause of overpopulation,
>war, and of course malnutrition. Missionaries bring white foods (white
>flour, white sugar, etc. to under-developed nation. Religious people are
>often the last to admit that what they eat can affect their behavior
>(patience, violence, or otherwise).
>
>Parents should read Weston Priceıs classic ³Nutrition & Physical
>Degeneration² or condensed exerpts found in Ron Schmidıs ³Traditional Foods
>Are Your Best Medicine² to learn about how special diets were given to
>parents prior to conception and to momıs during pregnancy and lactation, to
>insure healthy outcomes. HGs practiced deliberate diets (free of
>agricultural foodstuffs) and deliberate family planning. We--civilized
>--people could learn a few things form them.
>
>What we eat becomes us--it forms the building blocks-the RAW materials-- of
>our which our bodies and minds are made or destroyed. Those who deny just
>how much diet effects behavior should read Priceıs book and get his video.
> Okay, off my soap box. I'm very passionate about this stuff!
