It's no secret the police are gunning our men, women, and children down. It's very loud and clear, that's one thing for sure. Let me tell you from what I observe is the REAL silent killer, IGNORANCE. It doesn't mean dumb, it means to lack in knowledge. Ignorance Is another silent killer that is killing us as well. According to Mike Adams, who is founder and editor of Naturalnews.com, he states that they are deliberately poisioning the black community. I'm not surprised one bit when I watched that video. WATCH THE VIDEO CLICK HERE. One thing I notice when I'm in the "hood" is that there are no healthy places to eat at. On every corner you have fried chicken, fast food, liquor stores and churches. Shit, I have to literally pack a lunch to go over a friends house. Go into an area that seems "prestige", and you got Sprouts, Whole Foods, and a couple of nice health conscious eateries. While I agree that they are targeting low proverty areas, Greed doesn't discriminate and neither does ignorance. Profiting off of sick people and intentionaly keeping them sick. The same ones who gives the fucked up food, gives the fucked up medications to TREAT NOT CURE the effects of dis-eases. Do you know what GMO is?

The sad thing is people seem to not care or think it's a joke. People don't care about what they eat or put on their body, and yet I hear all this talk about self love. I guess health don't matter? You see, loving self and health go hand in hand, ain't no way around that. When you love yourself, it shows in all areas of your life. Did you know that according to the CDC, that the leading cause of deaths, among African Americans is Stroke, Cancer, and Heart disease? According to Dr. Llaila O. Afrika, in his book African Holistic Health, he mentioned that, Heart disease is caused by a combination of non-wholistic practices such as poor nutrition, environmental pollution, destructive eating habits, and deteriorating body health, internal and external. The food we are consuming is eating us from the inside out. I always mention, and also remind myself to NOT eat for the taste of the food, but for the healing the food provides me internally. When I sit back and observe people and the relationship to food ,it's disheartening. Fried foods and junk foods have more control over people than they have over themselves. Does food control you? Are you suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other life threatening disease? Are you suffering , but still consuming the food that is leading you to an early grave. Be honest with yourself. If your answer is yes, then food has more control over you. Not only that, people won't research to SAVE THEIR LIFE. I've noticed that people would rather lie to themselves than to face the truth. TRUTH BRINGS ABOUT CHANGE AND SOME PEOPLE AREN'T READY FOR CHANGE. Once again dying because of a lack of knowledge. Late July, I went back home to Illinois to see my Grandmama. I haven't been home in about 8 years, so I haven't seen some people in years. While it was great to see everybody, almost everybody I ran into was either suffering from high blood pressure or diabetes, all while laughing at the fact that they love the foods that is causing the dis-ease of the body, and how they can't let certain foods go. I don't see shit funny! I used to get mad at the ignorance of people, but I realized that to remain ignorant is a choice. Instead of gettting mad, I've learned to channel that energy and direct it to becoming more passionate. Like the fuel to my fire! Neverminding the peope that laught at me, and talk about me behind my back. That type backlash comes with the territory when you're "different". Premature death is a choice. I really wished that

health was taken serious in the classroom when I was in school. We were taught the watered down version of what health really is! The same with food nutrition, when health and food nutrtion shoud have been just important as math, reading, and writing. The folks at the white house know how important eating healthy is, that's why they have an organic garden in the backyard. Yet, push GMO on the rest of us! I have vowed to fight back by spreading awareness to anyone who will accept truth/self-knowledge. I may not be able to reach everybody, but I do know that I can reach many! All it takes is a spark, and to plant that seed to get you to open your mind, and save yourself. Don't die because of ignorance! Don't leave here with a life unfulfilled. Don't let something that is cureable, Ex. (Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, ect..) REGARDLESS of what you have been conditioned to believe that will for sure take you out of here. You are worth finding out the truth. Your life is worth it, so dont short-change yourself!
