It’s hard not to be too excited about a subject that has been important to me for years. Thinking about our food actually being safe and (effective) oops! good for us. Going back to wholesome, delicious foods. It makes me giddy thinking about it, and worried that it will be snatched away and thrown in the trash heap of a cheated election.

Before the government got involved, McDonalds fried their fries in beef tallow, not seed oil. Leave it to the government to make everything worse. Not only is the taste changed for the worse, the seed oils are horrible for you.
It wasn't just the government. It was the vegetarians pitching a fit about the "meat based" grease the fries were being fried in that caved them in. Why couldn't they ruin some other company's fries?
If only people understood how good real fat tastes and how good for you it actually is. I'll say it again, if you're looking for a great potato chip, Gibbles in PA fries their chips in Lard. Not that carbs are good for you, but they are the best potato chip in the world IMHO.
“Clean ingredients” YES! If they exist in regular grocery stores. Meats are full of hormones & antibiotics. Fresh vegetables & fruits were probably grown in soils treated w/ pesticides. So unless you have a personal garden you are playing Russian roulette.
Yes about the organic garden and fruit trees. I don't use any chemicals on my property. I buy organic everything, and cook at home. That's about the best one can do. It's worked for me.
Where I live, it’s possible to sign up for a CSA (community sourced agriculture) for veggies, and more local small farmers are raising grass fed non antibiotic beef and selling it at farmers markets or through local social media.
In Texas, I could buy grass fed / non antibiotic beef, pork, and chicken from a company that took orders on the internet and drove a circuit: Dallas/ Houston/San Antonio/ Austin monthly to deliver it.
Healthy food is out there but you need to talk to people and spread the word yourself so it becomes profitable for the vendors.
Commercially, Costco has wild caught fish, grass fed meat etc. They are trustworthy and inspect the vendors.
A good source for meat products is Wild Pastures. All products are grass fed without pesticides, hormones etc. I have been using their products for at least a year .
Same, Susan. Ever since I went to a La Leche League meeting in the 80’s while pregnant with my first child. I borrowed the “Goldbeck’s Guide to Good Food” and that started me on the road to eating healthier.

Part of getting back to wholesome food is cooking at home with clean ingredients.

Shuttup and take my money!
No where near PA. I guess Lay's is what I get, the few times I get it.
As always, the minority won.
Dang, tallow cooked fries. I wonder who has those.
Make some yourself.
There's a diner 1 town over from me that does their homefries in tallow.
YUM
I wondered if any one would remember this. Still though, fried is just not good in any fat.

Pessimist or pesticides, or both.
MAHA & Make Foods Healthy Again.

In addition, your own well without treated water as in the cities and towns.
Absolutely
Fruits and vegetables are also sprayed with Kill Gates product, Apeel to make them last longer on the shelf.
Canola oil is used as a preservative as well.
I've been trying to avoid it entirely, but it's in just about anything that comes out of a food factory.
We have lots of farmer's markets around here and a local beef rancher.

Wendy, I would be interested in the name of that company if you don't mind. TY

The chicken is amazing! The beef is top quality.

GoodRanchers works for me.
I got a case of delish canned sockeye salmon from the Alaska Gold Company. They have king salmon too.
. . . About 45-50 years ago my MIL was allergic to beef ; her tongue would swell up so that she could hardly breath.
They raised pasture fed cattle and sold it to market yet bought their meat from the supermarket.
Then one day they decided to give each adult child a side of beef from their own stock, and they put some in their freezer as well.
My MIL ate some and guess what? - - -
NO ALLERGIC REACTION to their grass fed beef. That true story is very telling indeed.
(She turned 100 years old on September 25th of this year.)
I’ve been reading labels for 40 years!
Then you know years ago, Andrew Weil said nothing with more than 4 ingredients?
One has to wonder about the integrity of the labels now that we know that the FDA is merely a marketing arm of Pfizer.
