Lessons I Learned From My Daughter's Visit: Food, Laws and Waste





It was a sunny day in Asheville, North Carolina. I was visiting my daughter who came to the US from the Philippines for work training. Leon and I were eating at a restaurant. I noticed the waitress cleaning the table next to us. I saw the half-eaten pieces of food on the table that is being thrown away. 

This was not the first time I noticed this. I saw food being wasted also at the grocery store near us in Dallas not to mention the food we waste in our own kitchen and the food being wasted in tv shows like the Food Network etc.


At the store in Dallas, I noticed they throw away bulk produce just because people have put them in bags and they left them laying around in the store because they decided not to buy them. I interviewed several people working in the store and they said that they throw those away because they were told to do that. These are big bags of macadamias, pistachios etc.

 I can see that this is what is happening here;
 the law prohibits returning the produce back to the container due to possible food contamination - so bulk food products in plastic containers laying around the store are being thrown away by employees to indicate they follow the company rules and regulations which the employer agreed to uphold.

We usually justify this by saying, 'the law is protecting the public from getting ill'. 



In the country where I grew up, we get cookies from a cookie jar inside the small countryside stores and if we got more than what we intended to, we return it to the cookie jar and that's all there is to it. Do we get sick more than the Americans? No.

I am not saying that is better than having food laws. I am just looking at the consequence outflow of having the kind of money system that we have - based on some having more and some having less.

I also want to look at our starting point in making laws. The people who make the laws are ordinary people like us who we voted and they, like us, fear being sick too. 

When we are sick we cannot work and earn money.

The laws and regulations that are being made by legislators are driven by fear. We make these laws based on fear.  

The bulk food items in the US store I mentioned above were not even handled by hand. We normally take bulk food items like walnuts, almonds, pecans, macadamias etc. from the bulk containers using a big spoon. We then put them in plastic containers to bring home.

Most of the time, the reason we leave some of the food items in the store - the ones we initially thought of buying, is because we do not have enough money to pay for them. We can correct this by being aware of how much money we have when we enter the store and being aware of what we need to buy.

A health care system that will pay for our hospitalization when we get sick that is available to all from birth to death is not in place. We have to put this in. This is the reason why we fear being sick - because it costs money.

We can restructure our ecosystem of money so that we can make laws and regulations that will support what is mutually beneficial for all

We need a  living income that will give everyone the basic necessities we need plus in addition to that, it will not hurt to have additional income to spend to pay for things we enjoy doing.

Where are we going to get the money to implement this?

There are many ways to do this, but one option is, we can get some money from the corporations who get produce or raw materials from the earth - raw materials that the earth intended to give all of us equally. They can get money for the upkeep of the corporation but the rest of the profit should be given to all of us for whom the earth gave it to. 

We cannot accept and allow some children NOT to eat (from this country or another country) while some waste food and throw them away. We cannot just give a little bit to others. We are all here on earth. We all eat from the earth. We breathe the same air. We cannot just give them a little bit through charity. This is diminishing the life that is equal in all of us.

We have to give others equal shares. 
We are equal share-holders to what the earth gives us.

Day 4 Three Kinds of Yogurt: Yogurtland, Wholefoods and Layla Farms

What Is This Blog About?
Fear of eating yogurt that is runny or liquidy

Mind Pattern:
>It's late , I can't get to the yogurt place
>I might just get the yogurt in the other store
>Ooops, this is a bit runny for a frozen yogurt
>what about if i get the other one at the back of the store?
>Ooops, this has a good texture, not too runny for a drinking yogurt
>let me taste it
>this is okay but I like the one that i normally eat because it has a good texture


What's the fear?

Fear of eating yogurt that is runny or liquidy


What is Self-forgiveness?

It is the process by which an individual forgives oneself for accepting and allowing self to separate from objective reality, releasing positive and negative value judgments such as good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative - as subjective interpretations of reality regarding something or someone that leads to stability as breath. 


Forgiving Myself In Writing

I forgive myself that i have accepted and allowed myself to participate in the collective flow to desire that which will give me pleasure - fearing to eat that which will give me a negative experience which I defined as unpalatable, nasty and unacceptable fearing eating the Wholefoods yogurt that is half liquid - half solid believing that i will have a negative energy experience if I eat a yogurt that is not so creamy and has less body - is runny or liquidy, as i have connected it to a memory of me eating a shaved ice dessert in the Philippines called halo-halo that is half liquid already and have a negative experience of it so desiring one which is newly prepared believing that it is better because it keeps its form in tact and as i eat it there's more positive energy experience from it as the ice stays solid longer and within this categorize the Layla farms plain yogurt as second in line believing that even if it is liquid, it has a smoothness that is consistent throughout the yogurt

so desiring to eat the yogurt that I normally eat from Yogurtland as having more body and has a homogenous texture all over the yogurt.


Commitment To Correction:
I commit myself to when and as I see myself comparing the texture between these 3 yogurts in my mind from a subjective view of reality, where I project my righteous personality or the judge personality - comparing, judging and in a way running a competition within my mind between these 3 brands of yogurt - I stop and bring myself back to reality - here, as breath in a body- to, instead of the fear of the negative experience from the texture directing me, I instead look at what yogurt is in objective reality - as food, as my reality check.


Why am I expanding or redefining words?

Words are like microchips that has in it for example, thoughts, imaginations etc. that is an interpretation of reality in our mind. It is defined within what is best for us, as individuals, which is based on competition within survival of the fittest . So, in expanding or redefining a word our goal is to align its meaning to what the word is in physical reality - which is mutually beneficial for all of us, humans, plants, animals etc. as it is what the word is, realizing that we can forgive ourselves for the meaning we gave it and correct ourselves - giving it a meaning we can live and express ourselves as, in physical reality that aligns to what is best for all -  as Living Words.




Word Web
Yogurt
A custard-like food made from curdled milk

where instead of defining it within being custard like and having an idea in my mind of what a custard is based from my experience of eating custard in the past, I expand its definition as


Yogurt

food made from curdled milk with varying textures - liquid, semi solid, etc. which is essentially a part of the whole - that is life.

I commit myself to expand the meaning of texture as equal to how i change from defining texture within emotional sensation to experiencing texture as a physical sensation of taste or touch


Word Web

Texture
The feel of a surface or a fabric

I defined texture in the past within emotional sensation, so i will expand its definition as the following:


Texture

The feel of a surface - where texture is defined as physical sensation through taste or touch.
