Hippie Propaganda

What are your Hippie Propaganda stories?
recently i was told that it was scientific fact that cheese was an acidic food and that eating a lot of acidic foods made your body acidic and that you are supposed to eat alkaline foods to be healthy. this was from a dude that tried to say science was a religion.

cheese has an pH of 4-6 your stomach produces hydrochloric acid at a pH of 1-3
tell me you don't see the obvious problem in logic with all that.
it is propaganda
also, your sauce is garbage.

If true, a balance would be important, not a solely alkaline diet. Also, I just looked up cheese, and it is considered to be "very low acidic" with aged cheese being only slightly more so. It is well know however, that really acidic food or drink (like soda) are bad for the body, especially teeth.
Science is not a religion, atheism however, is.
The main hippie propaganda I see is astrology, what a joke that is. Not only are the meaning they belief bullshit, the stars are not even aligned they way the think they are.

hahaha... no, it's not even close to true because you cant actually alkalize your body, if you managed to then you'd suffer some severe health issues, this shit is probably spread by the ignorant who believed it and started by someone trying to kill people off because they believe the world is over populated

Going purely from the definition, you could potentially have an atheistic religion. Literally, it means "without a god", and you don't really need a deity to have a religion. Jainism is a good example of this.
That being said, it's very uncommon to find a religion that believes in spirituality without believing in divine beings. More often, I've started taking notice more of religions that eschew the need for spiritualism while maintaining a set of moral tenets, such as secular humanism or atheistic Quakers. IMHO, the draw of these religions is a means of reconciling the lack of belief in a greater being with the desire for a set of principles by which to guide your life and simplify moral decisions.
But I digress.
As far as hippie propaganda, I consider most herbal remedies to fall under this category. Naturopaths are a prime example.

I don't think the point is to turn your body alkalinic... the point is to prevent it from taking a nose dive into heavily acidic, which does have many documented health effects.
Name one documented health effect from a credible source. Balance is key but the human body isn't a fucking swimming pool, pH rarely takes such a drastic role because our entire cardiovascular system is an extremely efficient buffer.
Your stomach is acidic, your lower gastrointestinal tract is alkaline, and your blood is basically neutral. The human body isn't as simple as hippie propaganda assumes.

You are what u eat.
What we eat has an effect on our bodies.
There isnt really a way around that.
Feminine issues happen from an imbalance in pH, i mean it got that way somehow.
Not saying food is going to have a huge effect on pH, but we may have a bit of control over it.
Call it hippie propaganda.. lol, but i dont see why some 'hippie' movement would want to scare people into eating less cheese. Cattle industy takes hits cuz people become aware of malignant practices. Truth, ya know. No one would have to lie about the fact cows are given hormones to continually produce milk except that industry itself.

I'll agree to food affecting our bodies, but pH is not a good representation of that assessment. Feminine pH imbalances, for example, are caused by things like having sex, being on your period, using soaps to wash your lady bits, wearing tampons (especially leaving them in too long), and hormone imbalances during your monthly cycle. Dietary changes can help "restore balance to the Force," as it were, but it's pretty uncommon to have the actual imbalance CAUSED by diet.
I think food pH is the least worrying thing we should be concerned about in the way we eat.

One common "hippie" misconception/propaganda is that DMT is stored in the human brain and loads gets released when you die or dream.
In actuallity scientists have only find minute traces of DMT in some rodent brains, and nothing about its release at death has ever been proven.

it's blatantly obvious that the brain is affected but not the teeth
the pH of saliva tends to be slightly alkaline to slightly acidic but normally neutral, between 6.5pH to 7.5pH

yeah, see that kind of stuff is ok. i actually think reducing meat intake is more of a sustainable approach to a diet anyway, i feel like eating meat for every course is kind of unneccessary, and that more nuts and fruits and veggies would easily replace some meat. im not saying its good or bad for meat/no meat though.

yes and we have a very basic study showing this, it consisted of 2 patients in which THC was injected directly into a cancerous mass in the brain and the cancer was shown to slow in growth

Yeah, we eat way too much meat as a society, and I think some people's diet need more meat than others, but either way, 2-3 times a day is too much no matter how you slice it.
especially when you consider the health of the animals that 90% of people are eating. the animals are barely alive before they get slaughtered and packaged.

Why is it that the word "propaganda" is so vilified in our culture? This thread is an example of propaganda. I can't even remember the last time I saw the word propaganda attached to a positive meaning, which is fascinating. We ignore the fact that we're bombarded with propaganda EVERY DAY ALL DAY. From the radio, to the internet, to TV, politicians, political groups, etc. It's everywhere and we call it other things because we don't see them as negative. It's been what, two full generations of Americans that didn't have anything to do with WWII except The History Channel and the propaganda in schools and we still vilify politicians by comparing to hitler and we can't see the word "propaganda" as anything but negative. Are we really stupid enough to negate half of a word's meaning on purpose because it is tied to something from the 1930s that none of us even had anything to do with in the first place? It's been damn near a century WTF

bro, Propaganda implies false information to support hidden agendas. are you really going to sit there and tell me it's some kind of positive influence? the very premise of the word is to hide the truth.

No way dude, propaganda can be positive. Or neutral.
Here's an example I just found in another thread:

Mosquitoes don't have intent like people but from this picture you'd think mosquitoes are more dangerous because of the numbers. However, it's not meant to mislead, just to show perspective.

false, in fact your statement is a prime example of propaganda and the negativity associated with it, you're implying that humans are more deadly than mosquitoes simply because we're humans and probably more effective killers than mosquitoes but the numbers clearly show that mosquitoes kill more, your statement is misleading and negative
now, you also claim that the poster isnt meant to mislead but it's chock full of misinformation, there are 94,000–125,000 deaths annually from snake bites, the poster claims there's only 50,000, well that's misleading and false propaganda, but it doesnt stop there, there are no actual statistics according to the WHO on the number of fatal dog bites each year around the world, we know that there are around 10-15 per year in the US and that 55,000 people per year die from rabies, most of which come from dog bites and we havent included the fatal attacks from dogs worldwide because there's no figures from many lower and middle income nations on this, your poster claims only 25,000. again, it's false information
so here we have 2 falsified numbers that make it seem as though snakes and dogs are not as dangerous as the actual numbers claim, how inflated is the number of deaths from humans, do these also include accidental deaths? what about suicides, what about wars, where and how did they obtain their information if the WHO says these numbers we do have are actually twice as high as the poster is showing
yes, this poster is a prime example of just why propaganda is viewed as negative, it's pushing a negative narrative depicting humans and mosquitoes as the top killers when the reality of it is that if you combine all the violent deaths, deaths by disease, deaths from natural causes, insects, poisonings, accidental deaths and every other source, you'll find that the common and single most prolific killer int he world is in fact death, death kills more people than anything else, everything else combined
death is always fatal and apparently almost always permanent, we need propaganda to vilify death and I need to start collecting donations in order to help combat the most deadly killer this planet has ever seen

The funny thing is - and not saying all the "hippie propaganda" is true - but the scientific/medical establishment has no fucking clue why autism rates, cancer, and dozens of other modern illnesses are rapidly increasing - and they almost seem afraid/avoiding as to even look at why - so it's not really a bad thing that people are trying to figure out ways to stay healthy on their own.. even if they are sometimes misguided and over zealous. And there are plenty of examples in the past of people being told things are 'safe' that turn out to kill them - so blind mistrust is imo smarter than blind trust

You pick and choose your battles There's things like margarine, fabric softener, tobacco, etc. that I could give fuck all about using. It's best to be informed to the best of your ability and then choose. But like - why the fuck would you care to use something so inane as fabric softener if you know its raising your chances to develop a terrible disease?

not even you can truely believe that our highly synthetic lifestyle stoday versus 2000 years ago is healthier though can you?
yeah we have all these technilogical advances that are cool, but there's a lot to be said about living in a more natural way.
our current lifestyle is unsustainable.

Yeah I definitely think that's a thing with autism - I'm not sure if the increased diagnosis accounts for all of the increased rate or not. Other diseases are rising as well - lung cancer dropping for obvious reasons - but many others picking up in its stead...
I mean shit - one of the elected vice presidents of the American Cancer Society injected hundreds of people without their knowledge, with cancer in the 50s and 60s and was supported by a lot of doctors in his time. When word did get out - his fucking punishment was 1 year suspended license 
So like I say - even if its not rational or well thought out, I would say there is plenty good reason not to trust the word of the establishment.

Actually, there are certainly some theories about why certain maladies are more common now. A recent Danish study of their own country's medical records indicated that autism appeared to rise so suddenly in incidence because in 1994, the definition of autism was broadened, including more behaviors and diagnoses on an autism spectrum that allowed it encompass up to 60% more cases than it had previously. Cancer diagnoses, equally on the rise, have become so commonplace partly because we're so much better at recognizing it now. In addition, many cancers are caused by age; the longer you live, the greater the likelihood that mistakes will occur as your cells regenerate, and we're living longer than ever before. (We cannot, however, discount the effect that things like diets high in red meat, a propensity for tanning, alcohol consumption, etc. do play a part in how quickly these genetic errors will arise.)

The thing is also, if it has aspartame, it likely also has a host of other strange colorings/perservatives/don't know what the fuck they are in it that are common to processed foods... So you better be down with all those chemicals as well, and a lot of them are so complex in their make up and metabolic action that I don't think anyone knows exactly what the fuck they're doing.
For example with food coloring...does anyone here give a fuck enough whether their drink is bright green or its natural color enough to want to have ethyl-[4-[[4-[ethyl-[(3-sulfophenyl)methyl]amino]phenyl]-(4-sulfophenyl)methylene]-1-cyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene]-[(3-sulfophenyl)methyl]ammonium added to it?

The list so far I believe:
1. The acidic diet shit
2. Anything Astrology related
3. Fluoride is bad... Ok so here this is kind of true, you CAN over-fluoridate your teeth. The thing is, Fluoridated water is completely unnecessary if you brush your teeth. The reason it is added to the water supply is simply because parents can't get their children to brush their teeth. That is all. In fact, the concentration of fluoride in tap water is reduced in summer months because they know that people drink more water when it's hot out.
4. Faith Healing
5. Homeopathic Medicine: Diluting a medicine is fucking retarded. Dose is everything, and lowering dose is stupid.
6. Vegan diet is healthy: Vegans lack tons of nutrients they need. We are an omnivorous species, avoiding meat

recently i was told that it was scientific fact that cheese was an acidic food and that eating a lot of acidic foods made your body acidic and that you are supposed to eat alkaline foods to be healthy. this was from a dude that tried to say science was a religion.
I'm pretty sure I've never spoken to you before :P
Far out man. I'm still trying to figure out how citric acid is alkalising when it gives me heartburn.
And you know, I get it, there's egotistical pricks who get in the way of the truth in both religion and science, because of pride, or other vested interests. That shit is annoying as fuck. But as long as people accept it goes on and stops trying to give everyone this false air of infallibility.

not even you can truely believe that our highly synthetic lifestyle stoday versus 2000 years ago is healthier though can you?
yeah we have all these technilogical advances that are cool, but there's a lot to be said about living in a more natural way.
our current lifestyle is unsustainable.
We live longer than we did 2,000 years ago, so yeah I'd say it's a healthier way of living in 2015 than the year 15.

Cheese/ice cream does have a minor opiate like effect. The danker the cheese, the more drugs. That's why it's the things vegans crave the most after they go vegan, they be morphine junkies. Fucking umami as fuck.

I don't think it's that simple... people lived plenty long back then, but infant causalties were way higher... so even if the avg adult lived to 70 if one child died for each that lived that long the avg would be 35... amongst other hazards or living in a much less controlled enviroment.

The average adult did not live to 70...
But it is more complicated that just diet. Progress in health care is a huge factor in people living longer. Access to healthcare is another.

It depends on the society... In Ancient Greece and Rome, especially higher class citizens frequently lived into their 70s and 80s.

I just got a book from my friends gf that might as well be called hippy propaganda. Shit like have a good attitude and life is easy,it IS NOT true. Not only that but she considers it 100% true which IMO is dumb as shit.

It is true tho, nothing is particularly 'hard' on you if you have an outlook that enjoys challenge, and can see the positive in any situation.

I disagree.. Perception is everything when it comes to happiness. I find people that are stress out ALL THE TIME and it isn't because they have a stressful life.
Outlook is very important. It is quite hard for me not to be happy because I have incredible control over my emotions. Whenever I get in an argument with my girl, she stays mad for days, while I may have been mad during the argument, but with a simple thought like "Calm down, this is a bullshit reason to be mad" I am happy again. She is unable to do this, and holds grudges and it is much more difficult for her to be happy.
Life isn't easy, anyone who says so is probably an underachiever.
I mean, I have to quit smoking bud (practically my favorite thing...) for my new job but I'm not going to let that get me down. Now that's a good event, so of course I should be happy, and having to quit smoking isn't going to affect that much. But there are plenty of things in my life that aren't great, or just plain suck (I'm not going to start a list...) but I still am able to be happy 90% of the time. Some people fail to look on the bright side of things, while dwelling on the past or negative aspects of events.
I've managed to make emotions an ability, rather than something that just happens. I've noticed this is rare however.
Think what you feel, cuz your feelings don't think.

I do look on the bright side but life is still hard,shit happens. Can't stop people dying or trouble getting work. I'm okay with it and I love life. Doesn't make it easy,that's just BS.

What is hard? Easy? Just inner perceptions as well. I mean, I do things all day that could be considered 'difficult' and I don't consider any of it 'hard' regardless of whether it required my body a lot of physical effort or thinking... I'm just doin' thangs - and it's easy to just do thangs Death is just a thang, work is just a thang... allow yourself flexibility to adapt to situations as they arise, be it death or lack of work... for there is always a way to handle and see things in a way that will benefit you.

IMO life Is hard and not fair but you can still enjoy life and have good things in life. Life's not supposed to be easy per ce, it's like a testament to willpower and perception. No matter how hard life gets I'm still going to love it and value it.

Yeah I definitely think that's a thing with autism - I'm not sure if the increased diagnosis accounts for all of the increased rate or not. Other diseases are rising as well - lung cancer dropping for obvious reasons - but many others picking up in its stead...
not with cancer, the numbers on cancer have been pretty consistently dropping for 2 or more decades

So like I say - even if its not rational or well thought out, I would say there is plenty good reason not to trust the word of the establishment.
to me it's about what's plausible after seriously researching both sides from independent sources, if someone claims molten steel is under the 9/11 debris then I want to see the molten steel and I want to assay, after that we can look at the chain of custody for how that sample was collected and transported before testing, such as the 'thermate' samples that stephen jones received by mail from someone almost 7 years after the buildings went down. how do we know jones didnt concoct something and claim it was thermate or that the anonymous source sent it to see how far that con would go. I want evidence from both sides

Interesting - good finds, I'm seeing that a lot of statistics about the cancer rate at the moment are skewed since they are not taking into account the increasing amount of people who are elderly and thus at higher risk to develop cancer. I also see a lot of legitimate scientific/medical associations linking food processing/additives with increased cancer rates - so I definitely think it is still wise to excise caution on what we eat... It is too bad it is so difficult to objectively study the subject - it seems you practically need 40+ years for the cancer risks of certain diets/lifestyles to be appropriately studied, and on top of that - consistent study groups... and diet/lifestyle are anything but steady in most cases.
Diabetes seems to be one of the ailments that is increasing... I think the cause is rather clear though... so much sugar and corn syrup in foods And also I believe there is some proof that a lot of artificial sweeteners intended to bypass metabolism end up effecting the system in a similar manner as sugar, as to promote diabetes...

My old roommate had them, I am familiar... the author lived the next town over and recently died in a car wreck, she was supposed to have been a kinda angry person ironically 
As for the content, well I think a lot of people have put it a lot smoother, succinctly, and usefully... with less 'summon a dolphin horus to do this to you!' and more raw understanding of the universe.

Ah shit I don't even know where to start. I've been to so many hippie shows, music festivals, barter faires etc, I've heard some pretty far out shit. I'll have to think of some good ones.

it really boils down to shitty living, if you notice it's increasing among the obese, damn near always type 2 diabetes and that comes from a lack of exercise and shitty diet, sugars and such are a large player but it's personal choice is what it all boils down to

So true,in my circle if someone say they're in THE family we laugh. It's very far out,honestly idk if their is a lot of people in the family that would flaunt it for cash. Idk if there even is a lot of people that can say that. Their is other "families" though.

Can't argue with that, unfortunately it seems the default/easy choice to eat fairly poorly - a lot of people haven't ever been taught otherwise and the availability of trash food is so high.
