I’m stuck in the U.S.

There is a lot of junk ingredients in U.S food, which can be a problem for mental health; as the human brain is influenced by and influences the gastrointestinal area.[1][2][3]

To describe this ‘gut-brain’ relationship in other terms: stomach conditions can change the general behavior of someone. The Brain-Gut relationship means that you can change the behavior of a person by changing the food they eat.

I think the U.S food industry outright drugs the people with addictive and junk ingredients (added sugar) to suppress class consciousness and marxist thought.

So how do I deal with the withdrawal of U.S food?

    I think I said this in the other thread, but replace the “I like the taste of junk food” desire, with a “I want to get healthy and look great-looking” desire. Or an, “I want to learn to cook” desire.

    Plus once you learn to cook, there’s tons of things you can make that taste so much better than junk food. Youtube is great for learning how to cook, pick a cuisin you like and start a fun deep dive.

    I also don’t suggest weening yourself off: read allen carr’s how to quit smoking, and you can apply that method to pretty much any psychological attachment: the mental supports and lies you tell yourself about “needing junk food”, is by far the biggest obstacle. Start thinking of junk food as poison ( which in many ways it is ).
