Natural Living As Activism

Once you are able to see that clean and wholesome living is normal and that accepting the widespread junk food society is a social disease, many of us become somewhat radical...activists..in order to help us heal and to overcome the role of victim.

We have all been conditioned...programmed...and in order to overcome the conditioning we substitute activism. It is a healthy alternative. It keeps us from feeling helpless.

When we speak out against the destructive effects of our culture, it helps us affirm our resolve to stop harming ourselves by living in such a way, and if, by chance, we can make a change in the environment around us, it makes our healthy lifestyle easier to maintain and live by.

My own interest in food and hygienic living has involved learning to deal with social pressures to conform to traditions. All of us that decide to follow a hygienic way of living will find it necessary to adopt somewhat of an activist stance in order to initiate and maintain change.  It's not necessary to make your activism an obsession, even though our addiction to habit and tradition is quite obsessive.  There is a better way of freedom.

Keki Sidwha gave us some suggestions on how we can be advocates for Natural Hygiene while creating a healthy environment for our healthy habits as we try to change ingrained habits from years of conditioning.

You are an activist when you speak out to the waiter in the restaurant about the quality of the food that is being served.

You are an activist when you offer to bring the fruits, nuts, and nut butters to the party.

Remember when the  activists fought for and won the right for unpolluted air.  Thanks to them we now have smoke free public places and cleaner cities.  It was a major battle won for our lifestyle.  We can follow their lead and work to make healthy food a choice. We don't have to assume that foodless food addiction is our cross to bear.  We can assert the fact that processed junk food is bad for everyone and irreparable harm to the nation.  Ask that junk food be eliminated and quality food be offered instead. When enough people do this, we will build a healthier society.
