Moreover, the cornucopia of deadly disease causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering devouring are identified in this essay. Furthermore, ow to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting lethal chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. Unsurprisingly, in a world fraught with uncertainty, precarity, stressors, and insalubrious choices, mental illnesses have become the norm. Mothers imprudently concocted a recipe for drawing forth children with mental illnesses by having made an exorbitant amount of grave dietary decisions that adversely impacted the mental, physical, and spiritual health of their children. Mental illnesses can be the result of birth defects. "Birth defects are structural or functional abnormalities present at birth that cause physical or mental disability" (Cunha, n.d.). Unbeknownst to most parents, birth defects can be easily prevented with prudent decision making, proper nourishment from nutrient dense fruits and vegetables, and vegan supplements from plant based sources of nutrients and vitamins that their diet may be devoid of such as Vitamin B12, Nascent Iodine, and Vitamin D3. Mental illnesses have become the norm as a result of mothers having neglected to make salubrious dietary decisions when their fetuses were being conceived. In other words, mothers throughout the world imprudently implemented deleterious dietary decisions that have drawn forth birth defects and mental illnesses when their fetuses were being conceived. It also does not help to remedy the issue that the environmental factors that children encounter from a young age are preponderantly adverse. In other words, amid the first two decades of their life, the child does not have an allowance for food, does not have their own home, and has no income. Moreover, throughout the firs two decades of their life, the child is under the jurisdiction of their parents who may be eminently irresponsible and even hostile towards others. Additionally, the child may also live in an environment tainted with endocrine distributors, neurotoxins, and carcinogens from household cleaning products that their parents love to utilize even though their children might be severely allergic the noxious ingredients that taint these deleterious household cleaning products. Additionally, during the nascent decades of the child's life, the child is corralled into a 13 year, insalubrious, k-12 compulsory indoctrination camp against their own accord for 32,760 hours which is a traumatizing, agonizing, and distressful experience to endure. These adverse environmental factors also create a recipe for elicit a mental illness since people can only cope with so much chronic stress and hardships become it mentally affects them. The adverse environmental factors that children experience from a young age take a mental toll on children and set them up for a life fraught with chronic poverty since nothing salubrious is attained by attending the 13 year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory indoctrination camp against one's own accord. Throughout the entirety of their youth, the individual is required to attend a 13 year, insalubrious, K-12 compulsory indoctrination camp against there own volition in which they learn absolutely nothing pragmatic from having attended the insalubrious, K-12 compulsory indoctrination camp for tens of thousands of hours. They are also mandated against their own volition to complete thousands of hours of meaningless homework assignments that provide them with an ineffably miserable childhood experience that causes them to succumb to destitution, stunted growth, and chronic stress.
