Most people today are sick and getting sicker by the day. There are a number of reasons why. One of the main ones is the fact that they are filling their bodies with FOOD-LIKE SUBSTANCES - not real food! Every time I go to the grocery store, I look at all the garbage that people throw into their carts. It's disgusting! The majority of them don't have any produce at all; just bottles, bags, packages, boxes...all ultra processed, nutritionless junk! Everything today is about "CONVENIENCE"!
You are missing one seriously bad food that most people eat all the time
SEED OILS
Originally created to lubricate industrial machinery, the process to make these is revolting and they are highly inflammatory. We are full carnivore so cook only with lard, tallow and butter. But you can saute fine with good Olive oil (don't fry) or such as Coconut and Avocado oil.
As they say, it’s best to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, rather than the middle. The produce department staff and I are on first name basis and so too with the meat and cheese department! I grew up eating home cooked meals and still cook every day. While I’m in my 70’s, I have many younger friends as well and am encouraged to see them embracing scratch cooking and homemade meals. Several have asked my guidance in gardening, canning and bread making. They tell me many of their friends are doing the same. Hopefully the trend continues.
Great list! I often suggest to people to cut out all processed seed oils, refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, corn syrup etc), and refined meats and fill those voids with fruits, vegetables, legumes, and clean animal products. Big food giant companies do so many horrible things to food today, it’s so sad.
Yeah - we're on that too! I'm a happy gardener, so come the spring (I guess it will get here in England eventually, we've had endless rain for months) I'm out in the garden for hours. Plus a dog to walk.
This woman - Sarah Pugh - has helped my wife a lot; she's big on light. This is a really interesting talk on diet and mental health she gave on Bart Kay's channel (both worth subscribing to - Pen has worked and talked with both). Sara Pugh's a biochemist and knows her shit on food - goes deep, but very clear in her presentations.
Good luck with the carnivore diet - it truly is life changing
This guy's funny as well - https://www.youtube.com/@ShawnBakerMD - a while back he put up a short video by a 75 year old working class woman from Lancashire in England, who had somehow stumbled across Shawn, gone carnivore, and shed all the meds she'd been taking for years. He's also very funny on the subject of Vegans 🤣
He's fully carnivore. Get's all the gristly fat we can't eat. We buy steak bulk in joints. Got some very poor "ribeye" a while back, and complained like hell. They refunded it and Bear lived off this for over 6 weeks! He has beef mince and offal as his fall back from a local farmer's shop and always get a lump of liver when we have it, in the blood. He's a very happy dog - never eaten kibble.
Well we both love hot weather, and my wife who struggled with heatwaves now fine since going carnivore!
Cold plunges are a barrier to bet over. It seems that when habituated, you get a bigger and much longer lasting dopamine hit than from cocaine! I'm up early, and it's mild here - water temp around 10 degrees C, so will shortly go out and put a dozen or do freezer packs in the tub to chill the water.

And being 72, as a child all our cooking was done with lard and tallow, a bowl of which every mum had in the kitchen. As we do. Women particularly benefit from saturated fat, and their fat ration in the body needs to be much higher than men. I gather a high ration helps hugely with menopause.

Any number of videos on YouTube on this subject

no wonder intermittent fasting is now demonized!

As long as we are cutting toxic foods, why not cut out all drugs? They are even more toxic chemical fabrications that are enemies to your good health.
I always say, be mindful of what you consume from a box or a can!
Natural Whole Foods will always be best. There is a huge cost to the so called convenience foods!

Sure picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue... ✈️
Damn! Cheese?!?! Aaaaaahhhhhggghh!

Generally agree with your take but please lay off of salt. Guess what happens if you get too much? You pee it out.

and her smile!
You can do it! My wife was clear she couldn't - but yesterday went river swimming with four friends 😊
I wish I could show you the diagram I have of how seed oils are made. Home made definitely better for sure. Look on the images tab of this search -
https://www.startpage.com/do/search?q=how+seed+oils+are+made&segment=startpage.brave
and there are many images. Certainly, we are thriving on cooking with saturated animal fat which of course we are all told will kill us...
