Ronel, I looked again at the comments, and I have given some more thought to your comment about addiction. In theory, certain chemicals might induce an alteration of the mental state, just as strong magnets can alter the way the brain works, but I don't think there are many (if any) street drugs that can do this. That said, I am reminded of reports in recent years of people suddenly attacking homeless people or neighbors and consuming parts of their bodies while alive, or murdering them. Supposedly, this was after using certain illicit substances, and may give credence to your theory, although I would suspect it was a temporary effect. That said, I still don't think ADDICTION causes psychopathy, but certain chemicals may.

Good point grand dad!
I guess we have to moderate everything and anything to avoid side effects?
But moderation or balance is hard to achieve but at least we're reminded when sometimes we tend to do things excessively, then we could easily shift or turn to other things instead of doing things we mostly love excessively especially those that feeds our appetite and desires or passion or pleasure doing them over and over again would lead to addiction.
Moderation is a good idea in most things, I agree, whereas following our passions and appetites may lead to destructive behaviors/consequences...
Yep, yep!
I don't know if I'm doing the moderation thing when I no longer eat breakfast for almost 2 years now.
Ever since I felt strong and healthy compared to those times when I was eating breakfast my almost whole life.
The difference may be because you don't eat breakfast, but it could be something else. For example, if you were eating a lot of wheat-based cereal, and have gluten intolerance and/or lactose intolerance for breakfast, stopping would almost certainly make you feel better.
I don't think stopping counts as moderation, though. :)
Yeah you're right. But I guess for now I feel better eating no breakfast. I don't know where this thing will go. Around 7 pm up to 12 noon no foods and no drinks at all, its 17 hours straight fasting daily for almost 2 years. Am I the only one doing this? I guess there are some. And I break the rules of the food industries slogan 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'.
I sometimes don't eat breakfast. I find that if I make sure to stop eating 2-4 hours before bedtime, I don't usually need breakfast. However, if I don't, I will feel nauseous in the morning and need food to fix that. I assume that's because I went to bed while processing the food, and that resulted in blood glucose levels that were too high, but I'm not sure.
I just stick to my rules 17 hours fasting a day.
I already get used to this habit. I'm actually targeting 101 years old or so lol
I'm avoiding processed or manufactured products the best that I could.
