Red Pill or Blue Pill?


No, this isn't a blog about Viagra. While that may be the "little blue pill", it's not the one I am referring to. The idea of the blue pill vs the red pill is from the movie "The Matrix" released in 1999. As Morpheus put it:
You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill . . . and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
I have seen The Matrix about a thousand times and every time I see it, I realize something else about it that I had missed the many times before. It's a movie that makes me think, and a movie that, oddly, makes a ton of sense to me.

Somewhere along the way, I started taking tiny bits of red pill. I've become skeptical of many things, including the medical profession, government, the food industry, and how they all tie together. I feel like if I don't spend a lot of time reading and researching everything I see or read, then I might be getting the wool pulled over my eyes.

I have been doing some major reading lately on food, nutrition, organic farming, FDA... things of that nature. It's amazing what "they" can get people to believe - and how easily they can do it.

I have been listening to talk radio and while I understand that these radio personalities are also getting a paycheck, I also hear what they are saying and what they are not.

I know this post is incredibly vague - I am still trying to work it out in my own mind.
