Blogging about Blogging and then Blogging

My brain is full of information, but there is no passion to get it out there. Only to exist from day to day. I have no priorities, only what comes from minute to minute.
One minute I am putting on my clothes, the next I am taking them off. What happens in between is not important anymore.
 

I read an article on doomsday last week and thought it was not important enough to share.
But just in case, you want to bunker down;
the increase in sunspots on the sun, according to some scientists, will cause catastrophic environmental changes that will kill thousands;
which means we should hope for something really bad to happen
so we can have that euphoric feeling afterwards.

I am harking back to my idea that "Life is full of paradoxes."
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't experience that eventuality.
The more conscious I am of doing something perfect, the more
 mistakes I make while doing it. The reasoning should be: try not
to do something perfectly and when it comes out near perfect;
it was inevitable. 

I am conscious of washing raw vegetables to make
healthy juices knowing there is contamination
somewhere in the process.
I am aware that Canola oil sold as oil, as well as,
 used in almost every processed food on the shelf
or in frozen foods, is still controversial
when it comes to it's properties of health benefits
and toxins.
"....Canola was developed through conventional
plant breeding from rapeseed, an oilseed plant
already used in ancient civilization as a fuel..."

not a food source. 
My take from the Canola plant,
other than it comes
from a toxic plant, is
that no one emphasizes
all the different insecticides used to sustain the growth of these plants. In fact, the economics of manufacturing the plant takes precedence over the health benefits....

"... The reliance on current and new pest management technologies will be necessary to minimize potential economic losses from insect pests of canola and unintended pest impacts on other crops to help maintain the vitality of canola production in the United States."....
 There is still plenty of controversy about this plant
The excerpts I like the best about
 genetically altered and natural food products:
"...According to Mary Enig, PhD., unrefined coconut
oil is safe to use in cooking..... Udo
says the only safe oil to use to fry or bake with, is 
water.
He says no fat can stand the temperatures used

 in
food processing without being adversely affected.
MARGARINE .. (Oleo) .. isn't food.
Partially hydrogenated oils — trans–fatty acids, are always poisonous. ......Unsaturated fatty acids have points of molecular strain,....all of these molecules have a curved shape that allows them to fit neatly into the membranes that enclose all cells and many of the structures within them.  Chemists call this natural shape the cis-configuration.  Heat and harsh chemical treatment can cause unsaturated fatty acids to spring open into a different shape called the trans-configuration, which looks jointed instead of curved.The body cannot incorporate trans-fatty acids into membranes, and if it tries to do so, deformed cellular structures may result.  


Eating trans-fatty acids in margarine, vegetable shortening, and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils probably increases cancer risks, promotes inflammation, and accelerates aging and degenerative changes in tissues...

Butter is slightly higher in 

...Most restaurants and commercially manufactured
food products 
substitute it for butter ...
 

If I were absent - minded of all of these
hazards in my life, I may survive;
Whereas, being mindfully aware of them
is killing me.
