Inedia is the state of living life without the burden of eating, cleaning utensils and in general without having to live with the burdens of obesity, bathroom visits and overall discomfort caused by the process of eating. It is my firm belief that this practice can enhance the quality of life of someone living in the modern world. Eating is a vain obsession that can not possibly better the life of an adult who wants success in life. Eating causes a multitude of undesired effects on the human body and life. Imagine a modern day person who has to work perhaps 2 jobs, 80 hours a week, just to be able to buy the things and have the things that he wants.
Because he eats, his bones and his muscles have to carry a bigger burden. He will feel tired and yet he will not be able to change his situation because he is an eater. Imagine someone who wants to fit into smaler clothing. The sad truth is, for the obese person there is no comfortable fitting clothing. The problem is not the clothing, it is with his body. A person has to buy larger clothing which also happens to be taller. He has to wear clothing with unnecessarily long sleeves.
Imagine a person who wants to have sexual success, they are being rejected because of their weight. We know in sexual reproduction, slim individuals are favoured. So, these people are being punished simply because they are eaters.
It is incredible how negatively eating can affect a person. The truth is, the modern world is far different than the world our ancestors lived in and food is simply a problem for many. It is a scientific fact that we don't have to eat steaks or bread or the cola or visit the many restaurant chains that are there. This is simply not a necessary function of the body.
Thus, I propose a superior alternative. An alternative that simply works.
I say, someone who is bothered by their eating habits should simply not eat or bother with cooking for themselves. He can instead voluntarily choose not to eat and simply drink liquids and take vitamin pills and supplemental pills and powders.
Using a blender, he can still consume the various different fruits and vegetables, grains, seeds and powders. Yes, certain things do not blend well, however, none of the things that do not blend well are necessary or healthy.
This diet in fact works for anyone. It works for the old and it works for the young. It works for the healthy and it works for the sick. Not having teeth is not even a problem here.
So, we know that there isn't a problem here except the person is making the choice to eat. Just the same, he could make the choice not to eat. This, however goes against his nature as he is set to "eat" and he can not turn off this natural setting. Even though he knows that times have now changed and it would only benefit him not to eat. I say that he chooses inedia over edia. In the long term, he will not regret having made this choice.
When we think of weight loss, we often think of dieting and exercising when in fact, weight loss has nothing to do with these things.
We try to find a physical solution to a psychological problem. The weight can in fact only be lost through the practice of voluntary or involuntary inedia, (food not coming in, in enough quantities) such as in cases of famine or in cases where people are afflicted with eating disorders is what is directly responsible for weight loss and being slim.
Instinctively, we are afraid of not having food when we know that this fear is absurd. Furthermore, our society and our families are too tolerant of eating behaviours.
The people will say that a person is not fat while the science says that that person is fat. The fat is the yellow tissue that the body stores as some kind of a backup energy storage in case there is a lack of food coming in. I don't need to address how absurd and out of place this system is in the modern world.
The inedic person can still enjoy drinks of various kinds and everything else in life without the burden of the fat tissue within them.
