Condiments are eventually bad for your health if it covers up the taste of your food everyday
“A condiment is a prepared edible substance or mixture, often preserved or fermented, that is added in variable quantities, most often at the table, to make food more suitable to the diner’s taste.” – Wikipedia.
I would like to clarify that a true food is one that needs ZERO condiments. That when people cook today, they obligatorily add condiments… all the time. People add salt, or vinegar, or soy sauce or the usual tomato, onions, garlic, pepper, and many leaves or curries of all sorts. With that much condiments on everyday table food, you might as well cook rats, cats, and cardboard and they will all taste like chicken.
I would like to clarify and recommend that all you want to be health buffs start eating your food plain. If you are a meat eater you will know the true taste of pork, beef, chicken, lamb, goat, tuna, salmon, tangigue, tilapia, bangus, squid… they all taste different. If you think you like vegetables, you will start hating them when you eat them by themselves because most of them taste bad by themselves. Try eating ripe raw fruit and you will hear angels sing and know that fruit is true delicious food that needs no processing or additives. Try eating your starches like plain rice and only rice, or potatoes and only potatoes. None of those processed junk like bread and noodles that have built in condiment flavorings in them already.
Yes, I’m telling you to self experiment and eat one kind of food in a meal. Not the idiotic medleys people are used to. You will know which foods are true foods. Fruits are number 1 up there. Then the raw meats. Then the cooked meats without condiments.
Condiments are bad. Plain bad. The Natural Hygienists pointed this out long ago. Though natural hygiene recommends only fruitarian, I personally extend its teachings to other foods like animal foods. True animal foods taste good raw without condiments, and if cooked by themselves, without condiments should taste good too. A roasted pig or a roasted calf tastes good if you plainly roast it over a fire or hot coals, no need for condiments. If you train yourself for a few weeks, you can re-learn the raw taste of raw animal foods. Today there are animal foods I and my children prefer eating raw by themselves. You know that the children instinctively know which ones taste great because they ask for it given the many choices. Just this afternoon cooked lunch was served as we got home but my son instead asked me for 2 raw eggs with the whites in them in a glass, then 1 ripe kayumito, and that was his lunch, an all raw lunch. He missed raw because he slept for 3 nights at his cousins who probably ate an all cooked diet.
It all boils down to regaining control of our senses. Our sense of smell and taste must be uncorrupted so it can guide us to health and survival. Today my sense of taste and smell are much keener than before. At a sip of a soup I know if chemicals were added. I can identify the condiments used. I can taste a fruit of fungus overgrowth, the other day, the street sold pineapples had a fungal odor, I told my kids to throw it away. When I buy raw beef I taste a bit first in the market before I pay for it, same with fish. If the creature isn’t good enough to taste or eat raw, why bother cooking it? To cover up for the rottenness? Rotten food is no good whether you cook it or add condiments to it. You are only fooling yourself.
Real food tastes great. Alone. By itself. Don’t let condiments spoil your taste buds. If you let condiments take over your life, you might as well be eating cardboard. Oh yeah, they already do that with instant noodles, kropek and most junk foods!
