The Definition of "healthy" foods

"Man is a coctivore", as evidenced by Udo Pollmer to me.

Which basically means that we eat cooked food.
In his video where he mentions the term coctivore he uses a chart that compares the gastro-intestinal tract of different hominidae.
One of the comparisons which were the most striking to me was the colon.
Homo s. had the shortest colon of all hominidae in his chart.
Now the colon has two main functions: storage and the further absorption of water and electrolytes.
But its digestive abilities which it is able to do with certain bacteria is limited to cellulose(insoluble fibre) and not fully absorbed sugars(e.g. lactose).
The bacteria turns these nutrients into short-chained fatty acids and gases(Methan,H2,CO2) and guess what they cause flatulence.


But why are fruits and vegetables considered healthy?

Due to the fact that most of these aforementioned foods have a high essential nutrient content compared to their caloric content.
In layman's terms this means that you can eat a lot of veggies and fruits and not get fat or as fat as you would with other food groups.
Which of course so called "health"/women's/men's/etc. magazines pick up and tell you to eat veggies and fruits for dem dere health benefits without giving one ounce of a shit about your energy intake.
The outcome usually is that you're bloated and fat because you solely added insoluble fibres to your diet and micro-nutrients that you probably were already sufficient in before. Unless you ate very one sided but who wants to do that. Even every day cake can taste like bread.


Convenience foods

These are foods that you usually store in your frozen food storage compartment.
Convenience foods have been processed with chemicals or chemicals were simply added to make them perishable for a longer amount of time while still retaining taste.
These chemicals can be harmful or not. Dose makes the toxicity.
Sadly you as the customer have to make the informed decision about which foods you buy.
So look up those chemicals before you buy that sweet convenience cake.

You could also make it yourself with dem dere organic products but that would be crazy.


Contaminants

Contaminants can be chemicals(e.g. pesticides,biocides) or micro organisms. They are usually used to make foods longer perishable. But they can also be harmful to your body.
If you don't give a shit about organic foods that's fine but for the sake of your own health please consider these three points about pesticides.

1. Persistency, which means that the higher in the food chain you go the higher their concentration because they can't be metabolized only stored
2. Lipophilia, they are stored in your fat tissue and when you burn that fat are released into your bloodstream, endlessly circulating
3. Active organ storage, your organs can mistake these chemicals for essential chemicals that you actually need to function properly but the harmful chemicals can be"stronger"(PTE!) hence replace the essential chemicals, this can lead to organ failure in high doses

Most pathogenic micro organisms can be avoided through proper hygiene and common sense that you hopefully acquired in grade school or from your parents as well as other persons of knowledge.


Your take-away

Learn how to cook.
Eat tasty foods that are nutritious.
Fatty foods, offal(organ/variety meats), veggies and fruits should be bought from certified organic brands.
If you feel that you are too fat simply eat less.
