Aspartame is only the beginning. We're bombarded with toxins from our diets. Look at us, our most popular fast food option is a fucking baconator, bacon on top of cow and cheese. Some religions think cows are holy and shouldn't be eaten, other religions think it unholy to mix dairy and meat, nutrient for birth mixed with the dead animal. Look at us, many of us actually eat a mixture of the two. American industry is a slap in the face to anything sacred hahah.
There is a well calculated conspiracy here to shut down all of the mystical anatomy in our body. We each have a pineal gland in the center of our brains that gets shut down after a few decades of careless dieting, etc. The pineal gland is literally our third eye where our soul is situated. They know our mystical anatomy before our schools can get around to teaching us and they attack it, so we can not be free no matter how hard we try, because we will not desire to be free, this is an aspect of soul to desire to be free. If you are a docile robotic mechanism, you will only ask for advice and leadership to ease survival anxieties.
The best thing to do is to go raw and organic as much as you can. Support your local farms! Meditate and learn chi gong, lucid dreaming and other spiritual practices in order to awaken your mystical anatomy, wherefore promoting soul's presence in the body.
