👍Amen! The old ways were simpler and healthier. Now everything is processed in some sort of package with plenty of additives many of which are unpronounceable with chemical substitutes that screws up our metabolism! If it has more than a few ingredients it’s probably not good!
A portion of population is realizing this happening and going to basics, eating farm to table & maybe reverse the unhealthy trend of last few decades!
Yeah👍 a no dig garden is what we started this past year & expanding with a greenhouse as it getting cold in our neck of woods. We follow Marjorie Wildcraft & her ‘Grow Network’ or the ‘permies’ group. Homesteading is catching on with many people as well especially since ‘Mr. Global’ is trying to kill our food supply whether animal or farm.
I had to laugh when I saw the FDA(?) that wanted everyone to register their garden. I'm thinking... defoliant drones are dispatched to kill off gardens and starve people. They can do analysis of satellite imagery to determine where the large grow operations or farmland is, but might be a little tougher with smaller gardens. It just seems some folks are hell-bent on taking away self sufficiency and putting us on a continuing dependency teet with recurring payments.
In China, they rounded up people off their farms and threw them into apartment buildings to stimulate the economy by forcing people to buy their food, as opposed to growing their own food. Likewise, they could control people better as well. Step out of line or get too sick/old to work, and suddenly you can't get food.
👍Justin a combination of Bill Gate’s Eugenics depopulation agenda, mixed w WEF’s Yuval Harrari’s ‘Useless Eaters’ philosophy along with ‘You Will own Nothing & Be Happy’!
Somehow we need to turn the message around and strongly encourage all of the elite to share a short private jet. One without any spare parts or sufficient fuel, and a single parachute. I wonder who would win? So many strong ego's. So little time.
So true! Food is medicine and your medicine should be your food! Sugar is poison. When I went to school, back in the sixties and seventies, there might have been one big fat person in the whole school, (small-town schools) and now all the young people so far and wanting us to think that looks just as good as someone fit. It doesn't look good, it can't look good. We can't allow obesity to be normalized!!
The message of this post just cannot be said often enough. More people need to know this information. I first heard about this on the Market Ticker blog several years ago. I immediately cut way back on carbs and sugar. Surprisingly, my weight stabilized and no longer goes up and down. Thank you so much for a great post!
Is he talking about the Omega-6 fatty acids in the nut oils are inflammatory? Because someone else mentioned that in another Substack. I guess the nut oils would include avocado, coconut, palm oil, and I'm not sure what else. What you want are the Omega-3 fatty acids.
What I do remember is in the 1970s and early 1980s the sugar industry sponsored 2 studies that said "fat is bad". We were fooled by these bad studies. So when manufacturers reduce fat in the food, they have to add sugar to help it pass marketing studies with the public. I also know if I avoid carbs and sugars and replace them with vegetables I lose weight without doing anything else different.
I'm 59. Been paying attention but not researching for my entire adult life. About 3 decades ago, I started noticing studies with conclusions that contradicted what I was taught. Hmmm.
About 2 decades ago, I began to find facts proving a uniparty existed that was controlled by money and influence. And that some institutions were fully compromised.
And then I learned about the Fed. A banking cartel. That lead to learning about the pharma cartel starting with IG Farben in the 20's.
In the end, I had the same experience as stated in these comments: I noticed we were healthier in the 70's. So I went back to those basics, minus smoking cigs.
Bottom line is everything we see is a rich man's trick.
Dr. Mercola writes about oils on his site. I was surprised about avocado oil. Assumed since avocados are healthy that the oil would be, but I guess it comes from the seed ? Shop the perimeter of the market.
Avocado oil doesn’t come from the seed. What Mercola was referring to is this study which found the majority of the avocado oil sold in the US is rubbish.
While this is true. another crime of the last century is that the AMA has decreed that classes in nutrition in medical school are electives. How many medical students have time for electives, even though micronutrients are the basis of all healthy physiology? Do you know how many docs question a patient's request for a Vitamin D test - a hormone/vitamin required for immune function, and so much more? Do they know that D requires magnesium for some of it's functions? Do they know that Mg levels tested in blood serum does not tell anything about levels in muscle and other tissues? We need doctors who are fully educated in basic human health, as is taught in many other countries. Our system is all about Big Pharma profits. For shame! An RN, MS, Integrative Health Advocate
Plandemic paradoxically forced many to reevaluate institutions and worldviews. The Wellness people follow in the steps of a legion of Integrative/Functional clinicians and healers. Mercola and many others have been doing all this work for decades.
Sooner or later more will join the next component, which is our spiritual evolution (inextricably linked to our physical healing). Hundreds of millions (some say over a billion) already incorporate some genuine spiritual practise – NOT Big Religion, which is finished as a force of good – and our collective consciousness rises as a result.
This is how we stop WEF and the centralized-power billionaires from reaching their anti-human goals: by raising the planet's collective consciousness. It's happening as we speak.
The Food industry (and it's governmental puppets/shills), is just as big of a criminal and societal killing operation, as Big Pharma...with one exception...they figured out how to make their poisons taste good...and humans lapped it up, like a thirsty Bedouin, at an oasis.
I was thinking about this the other day, so this post is quite timely.
Ask yourself, why you don't hear of endemic conditions in the animal kingdom. No huge swaths of diabetes, auto-immune diseases, no wide spread brain or cognitive issues, no obesity, no high blood pressure, arthritis, or osteoporosis...no animals on the Serengeti using walkers, dragging O2 tanks behind them or hopping on their scooter to roll down to the watering hole.
When you do hear about these issues (in large numbers) it has been when animals were being exposed to humans and their systems (food, industry, telecom, pharma, petro-chemical, etc.). Left to their natural eating and living habits, they are usually healthy, with some exceptions, obviously.
Likewise, we are an organism...created to function (eat, grow, die) in particular ways. However, fortunately and unfortunately, we are an adaptive organism, so we can actually pervert the models, that keep us in optimal health...and still thrive and function.
A couple of examples -
1) Humans can intentionally inhale smoke/chemicals/drugs and still function, at high levels, in many cases (I've known several marathon runners who smoked and placed high in their respective standings/classes).
2) Humans can inject/inhale/ingest manufactured chemicals (illicit drugs/"medications") and again function well and at high levels.
3) Humans can ingest manufactured consumable "food" items, many times containing petro-chemicals and pharmaceuticals (to some degree) and again function well and at high levels. As one commenter already observed, shopping from the perimeter of a grocery store is key to avoiding all the MANUFACTURED junk, in the middle sections.
However, these days, even the perimeters are danger grounds.
Remember, just because you can eat, drink, smoke or inject it and not drop dead or grow a second head in a week, doesn't mean, the chemicals and genetic modifications are not damaging/killing you. Although we weren't meant to be, as organisms, we have become garbage processing plants...you can put almost any type of crap into us, subject us to the harshest of conditions and we will continue to function on some level, until we don't. Sometimes the decline is slow and fraught with illness and disability and other times it is a cliff and you drop off it. The resilience of the human being, as an organism, can best be observed/understood in historic atrocities and disasters like the Holocaust and Holodomor.
So it should be simple right...we all knw that "Trash in trash out" is bad, right?? Wrong.
The food companies, like big pharma...are intent on making money and you are their cash cow. They've spent hundreds of billions of dollars, in research and testing, where chemicals and taste are concerned. They have refined the equation, of producing a chemical reaction in the brain, to get you to want more of a flavor, texture or chemical. Like wise the Ad agencies, have spent similarly, in refining the correct colors, shapes and sizes, to trigger you to salivate, look at or crave certain products. Ever wonder why McD's doesn't have blue or brown arches?? Or the main color on their signage isn't green, instead of red?
These are principles, taken from the natural world, that have been amped up and capitalized on in the Food and Ad industries. Throw in some scantily clad 18 year old with a tight butt and D-cup boobs or Fabio slathering a polymer spread, on toast and humans will happily pay, for the instruments of their own demise.
Lastly, the two industries are symbiotic. This can easily be seen in the illnesses caused by modern "foods" and the medications and sham health"care" industry, that is used to treat the symptoms, of those illnesses.
There is no profit for either industry, for people to be told, eat fresh, raw, uncooked vegetables and fruits, more than you eat anything else...so 90% of your diet...especially if you have XYZ illness". No money in that, at all.
And look around you, few will follow that advice. The food industry has worked hard to tribalize food and eating groups...Mention a vegan diet to a "healthy" 30 year old and they roll their eyes and make snarky remarks. However, mention the same diet to a well informed cancer survivor and they will sing it praises...even if they were a staunch carnivore pre-cancer.
I honestly could care less what you eat, my point is, they are banking on you eating the way they tell you to. They want you to eat the products, that costs them pennies to MANUFACTURE and keep you in an addiction cycle, so you buy and eat more and more of it.
This cycle of consuming trash and getting sick, won't be ending anytime soon, because humans, unlike wild animals, are easily manipulated and pay happily & dearly for that privilege.
Ever hear an older person, with several health issues, who takes tons of meds say..."this is just what happens, when you get old"??
That is the victory Cry, of both the food industry and big pharma. That statement tells them, that their combined trillions of dollars spent in R&D, was well worth it. They have taught/conditioned humans, to sacrifice health, for taste...virtually 100% of the time.
Of course the government is in on/profiting from this perversion, but that's another post.
Just know you are being played for suckers and it's not just your money you're handing over, it's your health/life and that of your children. This should have become crystal clear in the past 3 years, to everyone.
As one commenter already observed, shopping from the perimeter of a grocery store is key to avoiding all the MANUFACTURED junk, in the middle sections.
Having been in the food business for 30 years, the perimeter of the store has just as much manufactured junk as the middle of store.
The junk being referred too, is in the eyes of the beholder.
The topic of toxic, high calorie/low nutrient foods is important, but I can't stand this false attribution of weight trends. Yes, I was here in the 60s and 70s, and another major change that's gone on since then is the amount of food that people eat and drink along with how frequently they eat and drink. Anyone remember the almost complete lack of convenience stores back then? Remember when the Quarter Pounder was introduced as a huge burger? Remember how absurd the Big Gulp was when it was introduced? Remember when you ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner . . . and that was it? Remember when you didn't pass a Dunkin Donuts or Cumberland Farms every time you took a short ride? Remember when a gas station was for filling cars, not bodies? Remember when people didn't walk around with 500-900 calorie drinks EVERY DAY? Can people not see the massive portion sizes in restaurants and how frequently people eat at them?
It’s not food it’s the hormones of birth control and bong hits. Snacking is considered a good thing. It’s the jab and it’s stress. Food is the least of the problems
Both Epoch Times Senior Editor Jan Jekielek and Dr. Amerling are over weight in the above photos and both easily over 29 BMI. Also that Ocean Beach photo is interesting; I see several surfboards and only one umbrella and no "wet suits". I graduated San Diego State 1966 and ate one meal a day at the Campus Chuck Wagon where it was all you could eat for 99cents plus 4cents tax before 2PM.
From all my autoimmune issues I eat as clean as possible. Chemically sensitive. It’s a lot of work reading labels. And I complain to the company about genetic modified “ food “. Called yesterday about helman Mayo. They have an organic version but I can’t find it any where. Going to try making my own.
I’ve started making my own. It’s not hard but you need to use a food processor. I bought a small 3.5 cup one for mayo. The downside of making your own is it’s only good for a week or two. My husband still insists on using Hellman’s so I make a small quantity for myself. But if I make a recipe that calls for mayo, I use my homemade mayo, and he can’t tell the difference.
One blessing in disguise is that ever since I got COVID 10 months ago, a lot of unhealthy foods just taste the worst now.
Soda tastes like burnt rubber, I drink water with lemon now.
Now I mostly eat rice and sardines, or rice with air fried chicken.
Everything I grew in my garden organically tastes wonderful though…
Weird.
Over fed and under nourished
👍Amen! The old ways were simpler and healthier. Now everything is processed in some sort of package with plenty of additives many of which are unpronounceable with chemical substitutes that screws up our metabolism! If it has more than a few ingredients it’s probably not good!

Growing a garden can help. Cooking from scratch does as well. Yes, it takes more time and no, it doesn't come with a side of fries.

If you watch highlights of golf tournaments in the 60s and 70s what is so obvious is that players and spectators alike are all skinny.
It's only the last decade or so that peope got really fat. Bad food supply, undiscerning consumers. It's problem all right!
