5 reasons to question ecology

• Because the consumption of cereals and dairy products requires immense areas for cereal crops and pastures, which devastate the primitive forest and are now seriously damaging the planet.
• Because direct contact with the flavors of food leads to discerning good from bad crops, and therefore to promoting organic and biodynamic cultivation, respectful of the environment.
• Because the love of fruits and other natural products awakens the love for nature that lies dormant in every man, beyond the fascination of the artifices of culture.
• Because the biochemical denaturation of food molecules by culinary preparations generates a molecular disorder whose consequences in terms of soil and water pollution could be more serious than one imagines, in particular at the level of viral and parasitic diseases in the whole biocenosis.
• Because the health of the organism and the health of the environment are one and the same.

Example: the Tasadays, a tribe living in the Philippines as in the Stone Age, had been consuming palm heart for millennia. “Thanks” to the ethnologists who discovered them in the 1970s, they learned to cook this food, so that they could consume much larger rations. After a generation, they were obese, and their forests decimated …

A cry of alarm reaching us from Australia: The human race could be extinct in a hundred years.

According to Frank Fenner, a renowned scientist behind the eradication of smallpox, the human species would have a good chance of extinction in a hundred years.

Frank Fenner, professor of microbiology emeritus at the Australian National University, believes the human race will be extinct within 100 years. According to him, it will be unable to survive the expected explosion of its population and “unbridled” consumption.

“The human species is going to die out. No matter what we do now, it’s too late,” he said. And according to him, many animal species should follow the same path.

The human population now stands at 6.8 billion and will exceed 7 billion by 2011. The excessive consumption of certain populations, especially in rich countries, is causing global warming which, according to Frank Fenner, does not is at the very beginning but which is nevertheless already clearly visible.

According to some scientists, the human race has entered a period called the Anthropocene since the beginning of industrialization (see article). The impact of this period on the planet can be compared to an ice age or a comet impact.

However, other scientists are more optimistic. According to Professor Stephen Boyden, a colleague of Frank Fenner, “Frank may be right, but some of us cherish the hope that we will realize the situation. to achieve sustainable development “.

Frank Fenner remains on his position but does not seem to want to undermine the hypothesis stated above: “I try not to say it too much because there are people who are trying to change things”. Whether this will be effective remains to be seen. And anyway, as the scientist says in conclusion: “The grandchildren of current generations are going to be faced with a much more difficult world”.

Pessimism or a cold view of reality? It is not for me to decide. However, I can bring water to the mill on at least three points:

One of the causes of overeating is the culinary arts. Making food better than life, it automatically pushes you to eat a lot more than you need to be happy and healthy (the most visible consequence: obesity).

Denatured foods exert an exciting action on the nervous system, one of the consequences of which is sexual arousal, and indirectly the multiplication of births (especially in developing countries, where contraceptive techniques are still poorly integrated by populations).

This exciting action has repercussions on the general functioning of the psyche, in particular an amplification of the existential discomfort generated by the failure to respect natural laws in many areas; the feeling of frustration gives rise to all kinds of false needs which translate into visceral consumerism.

Multiplication of the population, multiplication of false needs, it is therefore a double action of the culinary art that we could fight by returning to a diet closer to nature. But in order not to lose pleasure, you still need to know how to eat naturally, and this is where instinctonutrition could provide a fundamental solution.
