Twinkie Defense 2009 - The Lifetime of Junk Food Defense?

In 1979, Dan White received a reduced sentence for murdering his colleagues, because prior to the murders Dan had consumed large amounts of processed and sugary foods. It was presented that his diet caused him to become violent and incapable of rational thought. The judge and jury bought it, and it became known around the world as the Twinkie Defense, which I always thought was kind of funny - until I understood how the body works.

In 2009, I’d like to introduce the Lifetime of Poor Eating and General Overload of Chemicals in the Body Defense. Not because it’s a defense I’d like to actually used in court, but because I actually think it speaks to an underlying truth about most violent criminals. I’ll explain…

When looking at violent crimes and criminals, the perpetrator’s past is often analyzed. And true, often times the present criminal was also a past victim, but not always. The socio-economic status is also often viewed, and let’s be honest, there are neighborhoods we’re all little afraid to go in after dark - often even the people who live there. And there is no doubt that poverty often induces a feeling of helplessness which is undeniably a factor in many crimes.

But one thing we’re missing, and I think it may be one of the most important factors - is the state of the perpetrator’s body. And often, but not always, I think this is directly tied to socio-economic status. I’ll explain, but to understand, you’ll need to know about the role of the liver in the human body.

Our liver is our prime detoxification organ. It’s the main organ responsible for at least attempting to render harmless, all of the chemicals coming into our bodies daily from common in foods and lifestyle habits. Of course, the number of incoming chemicals climbs astronomically with diets that regularly include junk foods, processed foods, and fast foods - which I’m going to argue are common in low socio-economic areas with high crime, and with the majority of violent criminals.

The number of incoming chemicals also skyrockets with habits such as smoking and drug use, and even by using low quality, highly chemical personal care products. Many of these habits and product choices are also common in lower socio-economic areas and with violent criminals.

The number of incoming chemicals decreases considerably with the regular consumption of organic, unprocessed foods from nature, but I’m going to argue that such foods often aren’t on the plates of violent criminals, or unfortunately on the tables in many low socio-economic areas. I’m going to argue that more of their food comes from a bag, box, can, or a fast food window - as opposed to a tree or plant that hasn’t been sprayed repeatedly with pesticides.

This is important because in spite of the belief that we are immune to all of these chemicals, our bodies behave differently. And despite popular understanding, these chemicals can absolutely build in the body over time and stay there, until a concerted effort is undergone to get them out.

By this point, you may understand that highly processed, junk food, and fast food diets require a tremendous amount of detoxification and work from our liver. A rather abnormal amount really. Most twenty-first century diet and lifestyle habits actually put our livers in a state of constant overload. This is a place where you’re lucky if your liver can render harmless and eliminate a fraction of the number of incoming chemicals. Diets heavy on junk foods, processed foods, and fast foods take this general overburdening to an extreme level. These diet and lifestyle habits create a toxic liver and bloodstream filled with dangerous chemicals.

These chemicals in our bodies effect our brains and emotional systems, and there’s another important reason why a diet and lifestyle with considerable chemicals in it is connected to violent behavior.

The reason is that different emotions are related to different organs. And the emotion connected to an overworked, toxic liver is: Anger. Truly, the more overwhelmed your liver is, the more likely you are to be angry or to have problems controlling your anger. From here, it’s easy to understand that people with a greater degree and intensity of anger, are more likely to have violent.

Personally, I wonder if what we really need instead of jail houses are some accessible body cleansing and detoxification centers to get these people’s bodies back to a state doesn’t encourage anger and violence. In addition, I believe that laws prohibiting the use of chemicals in our foods and eliminating many of chemicals in personal care products would drastically reduce many common problems society has - both health and violence related. I think we’d have much better results than with any of the options we’re messing around with.
