The most unlikely October surprise of all; military hands Chinese spy balloon its beer and says 'watch this;' MAHA movement confounds corporate media; Florida triggers leftists with electives; more.
Kennedy to pivot from vaccines to food integrity... sounds good to me. We'll get to vaxines soon enough, but everyone knows our food system is a disaster.
If interested, Vani Kari a.k.a. Food Babe, who presented at Senator Ron Johnson’s fantastic roundtable a few weeks ago, will be in Michigan today: “Today I’m marching with hundreds of activists and health leaders to hold Kellogg’s accountable for poisoning American citizens with artificial ingredients they don’t use in other countries. 🥣 You can watch on The HighWire website and X page. You can also watch on my Instagram page. We’ll go live around 10:30am EST today. We will be delivering over 400,000 petition signatures to their headquarters, asking them to remove the artificial dyes and BHT from their cereals once and for all!” 💪🏻 LFG!!
I didn't know why ppl keep comparing what we do with "other countries". Show me the stats of their healthy populations. Let's just be naturally wise and healthy for ourselves and I don't give a .... Whatever the rest of the world is doing.
I also read food labels avidly - avoiding products with more than 5 ingredients or those with seed oils. But the best way to health via food is to eat foods that don't have labels! I.e., (organic, if possible) meats, eggs and produce.
I have bought them at Christmas, or right after when the clearance prices show up, and stocked up for the year, as the budget allows. And the cans are worth saving if you're in to that. :)
Thanks for that tip. I eat mostly paleo, the non-mostly part sometimes includes cookies. My wife is gonna be on the lookout for Walkers. I'd love to find some where I'm happy with one or two!
My family hosted a foreign exchange student from the Faroe Islands (way back in 1973!). She tasted our chocolate (must have been Hershey's!) and was NOT impressed! She felt bad for us, having to eat that nasty stuff!!
I am not most of the time, although I should be, except when I shop for my mom. She is allergic to red dye #40 and it's amazing how many products have that in there. Including a calcium supplement. It's a white pill!?
The point of highlighting "other countries" is it's an obvious example that the food processors are lying. They claim they must put all these additives in food, it's required for whatever reason. Yet in countries where it's illegal they don't.
It's the same with drug prices. When a drug costs 10x or a 100x here what it costs in other countries that's important to know. They aren't losing money in those other countries yet they sell the drug at a fraction of the US cost. It's de-facto evidence the US market is rigged with rampant price-fixing.
How the companies operate in other countries (where they aren't allowed to do what they do here) is hugely important as it demonstrates the corruption of both these companies and the US regulators.
I’ve always heard that it’s because the places with socialized medicine negotiate prices and the drug companies make up for that by charging us more 😕 Because they can.
Our hospital costs factor in hospitals being required to treat the indigent, so those with hospital insurance pay more. Enforced "charity". As I understand it.
IMO that's an excuse that doesn't hold water. Even when the government is actually buying the drugs (i.e. through Medicare) or giant corporations are (insurance companies) we still pay the hugely inflated prices in the US. Only a percentage of the population are paying individually out of pocket and lack negotiating leverage. So it's not just negotiation or those same forces would be at work here, but they aren't.
The prices drug are systematically fixed in the US, and the government not only allows it but it encourages it. Not so in other countries.
I was more saying that they inflate prices here because they have nothing stopping them, contrary to other places where the governments won’t allow it. As you said in your last paragraph—the government here not only allows it but encourages it. And thus the Pharma companies (and those who invest in or have stakes in them) get $$$$$ profits.
Because Americans are always being compared to Europeans. We’re fat, they’re not. It’s all the unhealthy crap in our food. Look back to videos prior to the mid 1980’s. Everyone is thin. When I went to HS in the 70’s we only had 1 or 2 morbidly obese kids in my class. We went to a HS football game a while back, even the cheerleaders were chunky. I try and cook single ingredient foods, but sometimes you want a Ritz cracker, especially if it’s topped with cream cheese and pepper jelly.
They’re getting fatter though. But many countries have a healthier food culture overall than we do. They prefer quality over quantity and take more time to eat and enjoy their food. They cook from scratch more. Not everyone, and there is certainly a recent trend towards more overeating and more junk food/treat foods that used to be more once a week or at most once a day things. More people used pre-prepared foods. But overall most European people have what I think is a healthier attitude with regard to food.
It's hard to compare countries without also comparing the cultures. European countries, who take more time to enjoy their food, like you say, also work fewer hours, do not have an entrepreneurial culture, live in denser neighborhoods where they walk places instead of drive, and have even more social programs than we do. We used to host teens for 2-3 week exchanges from European countries when we had teens at home as part of a non profit exchange program. They were amazed that we didn't walk anywhere, nearly all of them lived in apartments, or in row houses where a backyard didn't even exist. We hosted teens from Ukraine once where they said they couldn't sleep as it was 'too quiet' here. Used to traffic noise, neighbors, etc. None of them went to church, except maybe Christmas and Easter and thought it odd we went every week. Some would go with us, others were like, nah, I'll sleep in.
BUT the US is? (was?) the world's economic engine - going home for a 2 hour lunch in the middle of the day is not productive. Europe turned from religion long before the US, same with declining fertility rates, and labor productivity growth in the US has been more than double that of the eurozone for the past 20 years. I blame socialism. And yet, there is constant carping in the media that we should be 'more like Europe'.
I know it was tough with both of us working, kids at home and trying to make healthy meals at home with all their activities and ours too. But we made it work most of the time, although dinner may have been a turkey sandwich and carrot sticks in the car on the way to practice. And the kids complained that they didn't get to eat all the fast food like their friends did, lol.
The two hour lunch though, is by and large a thing of the past. Still, Europeans tend to take more time for their food, both preparing and eating. It’s easier for them to do so, but it’s also something they value. Our culture hasn’t seemed to put much of a premium on that for the most part.
Dutch supermarket bread has 20+ ingredients, bread from authentic French bakeries only four. The bigger the store, the more crap’s in their products. I asked a local fishmonger if he had salmon without antibiotics; they all were.
Yes, supermarkets everywhere tend to have worse quality food and more junk. Certainly I found that in France also. The best is pretty much always from smaller producers and shops.
Well, we’re bored. How many of us munch when we’re bored? I know that’s me, right down to the ground (not a long way, I’ll allow). We’ve convenienced the work out of our days so we can spend it all working for Big <insert industry here> and here we are. They don’t have suburbs, so they probably don’t drive everywhere. US vs. Europe is not an equal comparison, true, but it is revealing. I think it would be very useful to compare ourselves to the way we used to live here in these United States.
I actually have seen more in France than ever, and not only older folks (who if overweight always tended to be on the portly/plump side, not morbidly obese) but younger people too 😕 It used to be just tourists but now locals are starting to be fatter also.
Totally agree with you. It’s worth it to fast often and recognize actual hunger pains. Push the limits of restraint to fully appreciate the taste of excellent food and not cater to the desire for junk food. Of course this does not include young growing individuals who must eat more and more often. We don’t have to stay fat!
Yep, for part of my wife's masters thesis she collected old school photos which clearly shows what you describe. Go back to pre 2000 and there were hardly any overweight kids, let alone obese kids.
Maybe comparing with other countries because our life expectancy is going down and theirs isn’t . Maybe because we suffer more chronic diseases? Might be looking for a root cause?
the reason we are comparing is because these companies willfully manufacture two types of the same product - one with poison for us, and one with cleaner ingredients for the EU because unlike us, the EU actually has some food standards for their people. Our food is designed to make us sick, fat and then dead, after of course we've paid millions of dollars to be on lifelong prescriptions to counter the effects of bad food.
Because other countries study the safety of chemicals and conclude that they are not safe for its citizens. We are to compromised to devote time to such silly nonsense.
It’s important because you can compare the exact same named serial made by the same company in Germany versus the US. Many toxic ingredients are illegal and other countries. So Kellogg’s, for example, will meet the German standards and not put anything poison in their fruit loops. You can see examples of this online. The major food companies were bought by the tobacco companies, RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris. They used the same strategy of hiring scientists to make the food, more palatable and addictive, the same way they made cigarettes more addictive. Of course, we would be better off eating whole foods, and organic foods. But we must get the poison and ingredients off of the grocery store shelves. Even Canada has healthier versions of the same named cereals.
If no other countries are allowing an ingredient in their food, and the USA is, it should be pretty easy to compare their studies to those here, and come to an honest conclusion. Key word being HONEST.
However Adele Davis in the 1970s? Said over 400 ingredients do not require listing on the ingredients. Forget the reasoning now, but believe she was correct
Not looking at other countries would be ignorant. The way you find what works is look at different approaches and the outcomes that result. One of the many "tells" that the COVID response was a worldwide scam was the attacks on Sweden for not following the herd and locking down. Anyone with a scintilla of intelligence thought "this is great, we'll see how Sweden does, and know if we really needed all the lockdown destruction!". But no, they knew they needed to remove the ability to compare, or be exposed. The best things about the U.S. are remnants of the founders wisdom 250 years ago, like the Bill of Rights. Nowadays you can point to plenty the rest of the world does much better. Including freedom of speech. I look outside the U.S. for credible news reporting, for example. Or more credible, at least.
Re the stats they are doing better, those stats are everywhere. And they spend far less on "health care", even with inefficient socialistic systems. Our health care establishment is so bad, even those crappy systems are far better.
Maybe because the lack of toxins added to other countries food, strongly suggests that the food producers in America, are purposefully making you sick and unhealthy.
I think the point is that the EU and other countries are growing healthier foods and making healthier products. US citizens are far more unhealthy that other countries. It's a wake up call that we're being poisoned and government agencies sign off on the poison. It is markedly poignant when we see how other nations citizens are healthier.
Food has become a weapon, along with weather, and pharmaceuticals.
The quality of our food affects every single person, every single day. Vaccine quality, while it arguably also affects every person, is a little more detached from our daily life, so I’m with you. We’ll get to vaccines, gotta start somewhere.
But so many learned from Covid, it’ll be much harder to mandate this time. I think, anyway. I might have unreasonably high expectations of people, though.
One would hope it would be harder, but all they actually have to do is come up w/ something that actually IS deadly, esp if kids are most vulnerable. Look what they got away w/ using something no more deadly than the flu which mainly targeted the very infirm & elderly (same as regular flu), of zero consequence to children & younger people & a 99% survival rate for everybody anyway.
I probably had unreasonably high expectations until 2020, too. Could not believe how quickly / easily / meekly vast swathes of the country gave up their rights & freedom. So many wanted to work from home &/or get handouts for doing NOTHING. The whole thing was a travesty but now many are conditioned to it now.
I learned a lot about my fellow Americans during Covid. Unfortunately most of it was bad-
Amazing how many people willingly allowed their rights to be compromised..and how they vilified those of us willing to question the narrative. A third of the population, to make themselves feel grotesquely virtuous, wished another third would die unvaccinated, while the last third watched in silence.
The vilification was horrific. Bad enough when it’s from some politician or compromised doctor, but when it’s neighbors and friends and family - that was hard.
My MIL has been dealing with balance issues! I’m going to ask her if she received this. She got 2 C shots and now thinks they are problematic, she asked me about the rsv because her Dr recommend it. 🙄
wow. Talk about Daily Signal not doing the research or being captured or both.
BTW, Daily Signal is no longer associated with Heritage Foundation. See their "Our History" section:
"Our roots date to 2008 when The Heritage Foundation first introduced the Morning Bell email newsletter and The Foundry blog. Upon launching The Daily Signal on June 3, 2014, we expanded our reach to serve millions of Americans who seek a truthful source of news and commentary about the political and policy issues facing America.
"Today, The Daily Signal is an independent organization—legally separate from Heritage—with its own board of directors and leadership team. Our affiliate, The Daily Signal Institute, is financially supported through donations from our audience and generous grants from philanthropic organizations committed to quality journalism.."
Didn’t any reference to Heritage Foundation in this article. please enlighten me if I missed that reference. The Daily Signal is not affiliated with or directed by Heritage. Your comment is quite an effective smear on the conservative think tank. Were you aware the Daily Signal editorial staff is not connected to Heritage and may have been captured by Soros money?.
It was founded by Heritage, I just learned it became independent this past June. That's the first I heard about their separating. I've subscribed to it for years when it was Heritage.

My opinion only, but I think we should reserve “jabs” for the Covid shots since we cannot and should not refer to them as vaccines. IMHO, there is zero ground to compare mRNA shots to real vaccines where the benefit may actually outweigh the risk.
That said, I’m not lining up anytime soon, but for those with neurologic diseases (ineffective cough) or lung disease, pneumococcal vaccines should remain an option.
It depends on the risk / benefit assessment. How effective are the different shots? (There are four types.) What possible adverse effects can occur? You seem much more willing than I am to accept allopathic corporate recommendations in an era of blatant profit-driven "care."
Of course, risk/benefit should always be the bottom line. In the inevitable swing to the other extreme, brought on by the C horrors, we need to remind ourselves to be vigilant, but to not throw the baby out with the bath water. Recently lost two cousins to breast cancer, both diagnosed in the surgically curable stage, but elected zero treatment. (That was their right, of course.)
We don't need them anyway - everyone I know who got vaccinated/boosted all got covid multiple time at that - I got vaccinated as a kid for measles, mumps, chicken pocks, etc. - I caught them all - but only once. There are so many studies on populations of kids who don't get vaccinated and they seem to do much better than vaccinated kids where chronic diseases are concerned. The "war on cancer" cost billions of dollars and has been going on for years and years - has the incidence of cancer fallen? No. That should tell you something. All the the medical research focuses on potential "cures" or hopeful "band-aid effects" - none of the research is focused on prevention - why? $$$$$$$$$$
I’m old enough to have only had a polo sugar cube and maybe a tetanus shot. I caught all the childhood diseases—once. Except for the mumps. I appear to be immune to mumps.
At 67 I caught Covid and had a slight fever for 3 days, and haven’t had it since. Except for a 24 hour flu bug I have not been sick since 2021.
No vaccines or flu shots ever. I’m on no medications. No allergies.
Children get 70+ vaccines.
People begged me to get the Vaccine and now they regret it and I carry on.
Riding horses 5 days a week and along with a 4 mile walk. Writing books & golfing.
We are led to believe that we need medicine to live a long healthy life. Maybe it’s the opposite.
There is a control group for all of these vaccines.
Maybe we should be studied.
I used to get sick at least twice a year, but since supplements & a good nights sleep, intermittent fasting and cutting out most sugar and carbs, I don’t seem to get sick anymore.
It can be done if we ignore their ‘science’.
I’ll add in my deep faith in God and relaxing into his will which alleviated most of my stress.
And in the last 30 years, with all the new cancer, drugs and radiation, they have only managed to improve life expectancy by an average of 3.4 months. Which really sucks when you consider many forms of chemo make you feel so horrible that they ruined the time that you have left.
Oh, I know all of that. Those who won't accept the fact that vaxxes are bad can at least accept that the food is bad. Sort of a way to slow walk them into understanding.
Yes, I big part of vaccines being sacred cows is trust in the very same institutions who push dead food and ridicule eating real food. Loss of that trust moves the needle.
I just LOVE IT that they've made exercise and eating healthy into an alt-right thing. That plays into my alt-right hands.
I just shake my head and mutter a bit when I walk by the useful idiots soliciting for cancer charities at store entrances. I engaged one once, but their ignorance is depressing, so it's not worth it. I think they're as disgusting as the wealthy psychopaths who get the money they raise.
God gave us EVERYTHING we need, in abundance, on this earth, to keep ourselves healthy and flourish - including a natural immune system which evil has worked continuously to destroy. Evil, Satanic people work to undermine your ability to thrive. Jabs are a huge part of their effort.
Yes the mystery as to how, in the early '80's they were deemed "unavoidably unsafe" so as to "deserve" a new law to protect the manufacturers to now where they are ALL "safe and effective" is, indeed, astonishing. I honestly don't understand how anyone can say it with a straight face. But here we are, millions of doctors denying that there could POSSIBLY be even a smidge of adverse reactions to be found in any of them.
I was disappointed to see Musk sticking up for polio and smallpox vaccines, and saying they helped end those scourges in his otherwise very worthwhile interview with Tucker Carlson the other day. Nobody knows everything, clearly.
I had the same thought. However - I beleive many are on the "awakening paradigm" to see & learn what's really happened with the Healthcare in America. Im glad hes questioning *some* vax - thats where it starts. I trust he WILL get there. We have to remember, thia man is running 2 major corporations AND joining the MAHA movement. Maybe he hasnt done the deep ddive - yet.
I'm so pleased the Means siblings are discussing how Rockefeller single-handedly dismantled holistic Healthcare in the US. few want to beleive this but its imperative for folks to understand just how long things have been manipulated.
I watched the entire Rogan interview with the Means. Not overly impressed, but a lot to like about Casey. I DO think they're doing a lot of good because so much of the public has so much waking up to do, that if they move in the Means' direction that would be great. Calley said he didn't speak to Casey for a year when she quit her surgeon job. Huh? That was a heroic thing do to, if only more had such principles. Calley is hopelessly naive. He thinks the politicians have no idea about how they are screwing us - it's all just ignorance. Just because they SEEM to be listening to him, and considering what he says, and then SAY "I didn't know that". Jeez, these are politicians, they're expert at placating when it's expedient. Casey is much better IMO.
It's foolish not to consider that possibility. I think it's more likely just a matter of nobody, not even Musk, has a good grasp of everything. But, I could be wrong, you could be right.
How about if we eliminate the vaccines, we can eat all the junk food we want? That could be closer to the truth. I'm old enough to not have had so many childhood vaccines just smallpox, and polio- I'm really healthy, thin as a stick, and I LOVED and ate plenty of junk food until just recently.
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.
By now I am assuming that you are aware that big tobacco diversified and bought controlling interest in a number of major food processors when their tobacco fate had been sealed.
Even though I've been advocating for organic food for 30 years, I was surprised to learn that from Casey and Calley Means... it's something that explains SO MUCH.
Trump has put together a winning team. He should win 400 electoral votes and re-enter the White House with a massive mandate to restore the Constitution and return us to a Constitutional Republic of, by, and for the people. I am convinced that is his primary goal.
The globalists, deep state operatives, and uniparty, and the uninformed low IQ fools who support them are still parading pathological communists and liars/plegarists Harris and Walz as the choice for America.
Why is that?
They are prepared and ready to manipulate the 2024 general election. They do not care that we know they are going to steal the election. All they know is they must hold onto the levers of power at all costs and will do anything and everything necessary to do so.
Hence: Jeff's post today re: "aliens" & "drones" menacing us. Be very afraid - maybe have to declare an emergency & cancel the election... You never know...
Yup, it's the exact right thing to do. Just look around, most people look absolutely terrible and it's obvious the population is being systematically poisoned. Obesity and diabetes incidence didn't skyrocket for no reason.
Watch who supposedly is on our side that objects to this. You'll have the crony capitalists saying it's an infringement on the free market (i.e. business has a right to poison people). You'll have so-called personal liberty advocates calling it the nanny state (i.e. people have a right to poison themselves). In fact most of the groups making claims like this don't believe any of it, but have coopted conservative principles to fight anything that interrupts their cash flow.
Reagan's conservatism has been completely twisted to serve the interests of corrupt giant multi-national corporations. Keep this in mind when you see pieces from National Review types attacking this. They are paid shills who long ago abandoned intellectual integrity.
All the way to how/what they plant and grow. I've seen what they do to the land and spray on the crops. You ppl scared of chem trails are looking in the wrong place. You might start looking at the universities and their 4H programs. The American version of Hitler's youth. (And I had our homeschooled children in it and lead groups. Shot gun. No pun intended. 🤣)
People paying attention to chem trails are not looking in the wrong place. We don't even know what they are spraying on us. Dr. Ana Mihalceas work has shown all of us have nanotech in our blood. Some speculate it is being sprayed. I'd like to know. I do have some choice in the food I eat and whether or not it is sprayed, but when it comes to chem trails I get no choice. It is a huge issue and probably much much bigger than most think because virtually nobody will touch it. The good news is, Dane Wiggington, one of the leaders in this field, has been a regular on Children's Health Defense as of late and Kennedy has actually been talking about this issue a little bit.
There aren’t many issues on which we should follow the lead of Europe, but this is one. Europe banned GMO foods many years ago. And that’s only one of the many horrible foods foisted on our citizens. How did we let this happen?
My sister went to Europe over 30 years ago and said that you didn’t see fat people walking around. A street side vendor would offer fruits and healthy food choices instead of hot dogs. And our people truly are addicted to all the bad choices.
Indeed, Based FM! I just saw a 'stack this morning about a French woman who gained 30 POUNDS in 6 months just eating the same type of diet but living here in the US. She said "Something is wrong with your food" and is having her family back in France ship groceries to her. I see extremely sad obesity everywhere and complete processed food addiction (in addition to the alcohol abuse which skyrocketed during Covid lockdowns). The number of people so fat they can't walk in Costco and need a wheelchair cart is just gross. I'm sorry - I have no other word for it. The entire FDA and CDC needs to be locked up for good.
Yes all our Swedish au pairs gained weight coming to live with us and promptly lost it when they returned. And I tried to cook healthy. These were young fit girls. One noted how sweet all our food was.
We were just in the UK for three weeks eating out all meals daily which we rarely do here yet weighed the exact same when we got back home. Try eating out three straight weeks in the US and see what happens. Already missing the croissants!!
A focus on food and health is sure to grab the attention of the twenty/thirty-some younger generations like it did in the my generation. And the doing something about the 'injection horror' rides on the coattails of a broad, expansive umbrella of reform.
On the subject of vaccines, food source degradation, WHO chicanery and October surprises, Canadian Lawyer Lisa delivered so much shock in this interview that even the well-informed Dr. McCullough needed a pep talk as it concluded!
I’m not sure if my post went through so this is a duplicate forgive me. I get trying to go after the little hanging fruit but people don’t get myocarditis or turbo cancer from eating Kelloggs and they certainly don’t die immediately after being injected.
Had an old acquaintance stop by the other day. He was searching for a new doctor. I highly recommended my Doc since he took a more natural, holistic approach....diet, exercise, lifestyle choices, etc...I casually mentioned that I really like that he wasn't quick to default to pharmaceuticals or knee-jerk surgical procedures. He called me "weird." (I reckon he thought that this is what doctors are SUPPOSED to do...prescribe and cut.) He went on to talk about his recent Alaskan cruise where he was diagnosed with Covid and sequestered to his cabin for 3 days. He had been jabbed 4 times. He just couldn't put it all together. Here was an intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken guy, yet I was staring into a vacant set of pupils. The psychosis was palpable. I'm sure I was tilting my head like a curious dog, but I doubt he would have noticed. The Establishment successfully disconnected him from his intuition.
There is such a lack of personal responsibility for health. Most people I know would rather become lifelong addicts to big pharm or have some procedure rather than do the disciplined work to stay healthy. I am so sad as more and more tell me they have heart issues or cancer. Just the other day, in a single conversation, a friend mentions receiving again her upteenth shot and then also her cancer diagnosis. They truly can't connect the dots.
That reminds me of an injury I had years ago. I tripped over some seaweed that was on the beach and wrenched my shoulder. I’m sure I tore something, but since I’m not a doctor person, I don’t know exactly. It hurt like H E 🏒🏒. The pain went on and on, and everyone asked if I was having surgery to repair it. My answer, NO. I did many natural things to help, never even taking pain meds, and after a year, it healed. I have no residual pain and FULL USE OF MY ARM just as it should be. No regrets.
I’m with you. I had a similar injury to my shoulder and after talking with a friend who is a chiropractor, I did appropriate exercises and it healed on its own. No surgery and full use of the arm and shoulder returned.
Same. The swing factor for me was PT would not risk further damage while surgery would hurt like HE__ and take 3-6 months to recover with more painful PT and about 50% of victims still having as much or more pain. All risk, not even a statistically sound chance of benefit.
That was a good exercise in risk to benefit analysis a year before COVID... (pun intended).
Lack of personal responsibility...for everything! That is why the D message of victimhood is so popular. If you try to point out that all of these 'victims' have some level of culpability in their situation, the hordes pounce and call you names, And if you think of yourself as a victim, you will look for someone who is going to rescue you. Enter the legions of 3 letter agencies. Maybe we need MAEA - Make Americans Empowered Again! OK not very catchy. But no one is forcing you to buy Captain Crunch, Doritos and Cheez-its.
No one is forcing you, but making healthy organic food choices a lot more expensive is a good way to make sure the rank and file consumer trying to feed a family can’t afford to buy any. And many of the people who need a healthy diet are living in food deserts—especially in the poor neighborhoods of the inner cities. Fresh produce of any kind is almost impossible to find. It’s not only our food production that needs to be overhauled, food distribution and availability needs to be addressed. Crime is one reason poor neighborhoods suffer from food insecurity.
Sorry I don't buy that. Food deserts is a term the left loves to trot out to push some planned economy BS. I spent 5 years out of college working for Aldi and saw first hand the choices made by many food stamp customers. Cases of soda, frozen dinners and bags of snacks. If they ran short, the first thing they took out was fresh produce. Not all mind you, but enough that it was striking. Food stamps used to come out en masse first of the month, and when we placed orders for first of the month, we cut back on perishables and added extra junky stuff to the order, 2-3 generations shopping together. I 'get' that some neighborhoods it is not an easy jaunt to a decent grocery store. But I also 'get' that priorities need an adjustment. If there is a will there is a way and the sooner we stop making excuses for poor behavior the sooner we can get to solutions. My friend called me in 2020 when they were doing the USDA Farmers to Families Food Box Program - her son was volunteering with the distribution and said they had pallets of boxes of fresh produce for free and people didn't want them, asked us if we wanted one.
And the yield of organic farms is about 80% compared to conventional agriculture, and thus, prices are higher. We are taking farmland out of production in many areas at a rapid clip, and thus the question of feeding the growing population + lower yields + less acres in production has to be solved before we say we have to go 100% organic.
I ran into something similar awhile back at Trader Joe's. The lady in front of me didn't have enough $$ to buy her groceries. I *almost* paid for them myself, until I saw what she was putting back. It was all the one ingredient fresh food - fruits and veggies. How someone could choose a bag of chips over a beautifully ripe fresh pineapple, I will never know. To say the least, it was disheartening. In her defense, perhaps she had a perfectly good reason - but I didn't bother to ask, or to pay.
Wow, so much more to consider Donna. Thanks, for sharing your first hand experience. Your insight helps peel back those layers that need attention. We need to listen to people like yourself who exist on the front lines and less to experts who haven’t a clue about practical living but decide where the taxpayer money goes. They care nothing about the outcome of their decisions. I agree with everything you said.
It is complicated. Seems like an 'easy button' would be to transform food stamps into something like WIC, where choices are limited to certain options, like healthier choices. Teach people how to cook. There is a transitional housing program in our town that gives homeless families 3-6 months of free housing. In exchange, they are required to work, save, and attend 'boot camp' classes on everything from budgeting, cooking from scratch, parenting, etc. No alcohol or drugs allowed. 95% of those who graduate are still self sufficient 3 years later. And yet HUD has gutted funds for transitional housing programs in favor of 'housing first' programs, that do not require any lifestyle changes., This includes when Ben Carson was there. Disappointing that he did not fix this when he was there. But don't really think this was the best fit for his skillset. Bottom line for me is that social programs are really NOT about helping people, they just keep them dependent on the system, and thus voting for those who promise free stuff and excuses.
I agree 100% with everything you say. We went from mom & pop corner grocery stores in the 60s and 70s, as well as farm markets in cities where fresh food was abundant, to the large corporate supermarkets who utilize slick marketing to confuse consumers. My father in law was a huckster with a route serving these small grocery stores in the inner cities. I saw first hand what happened to them in the late 70s and early 80s. There are multiple reasons why people are making poor food choices. Education being one. I’ve seen the success of properly administrated EFNEP/Nutrition Links programs that teach low income families how to create healthy meals using the foods available with food stamps. The women who went through these programs were saving money and preparing healthy meals for their families when follow up was done 1 to 2 years later. These programs actively recruited women from the program graduates to become nutrition education advisors (NEAs) and return to their communities to continue nutrition education. There are no home economics program in the schools anymore, so teaching people how to buy, store, and utilize produce is crucial to the success of programs like the Farmers to Families program. In PA the Dept. of Agriculture has a Farm Market Voucher program that farms can participate in that targets low income families and seniors. Cooperative Extension’s nutrition educators would set up cooking demonstrations to help customers get the most out of their purchases by teaching purchasing, storing, and cooking tips, as well as safe food handling. The Master Gardener volunteers have a Seed-to-Supper program in coordination with food pantries, community centers, and churches to teach people how to grow, harvest, and prepare fresh food. There is a lot of emphasis on how to grow produce in limited spaces using container gardening. The interest in these programs exceeds the availability of volunteers and funding. I’ve seen the same things happening with the community garden organizations in Philly. These groups are doing amazing work, but again, the need far exceeds the availability of volunteers and funding.
As for the left trotting out a food desert myth, they probably wish the supermarkets and other stores hadn’t fled Philly due to increased crime and violence because there’s a burgeoning Republican movement in the city. I never thought I would ever see a large diverse group of people standing on street corners in downtown Philadelphia waving Trump flags and wearing MAGA hats, but here we are.
There will always be a segment of the population who will consistently and enthusiastically make poor choices no matter what we do. I’d like to reduce that number of people by funding programs that encourage self sufficiency and independence. Unfortunately, our governor is too busy signing bombs and eyeing a place on the national political stage to worry about food production. Unless of course there’s some Amish farmer selling raw milk. Then the troops are called in to raid and shut them down.
But again, you are correct. There are so many things needing to be addressed it’s hard to prioritize them.
These are all good points, NormaJeanne. I know I've had to recently adjust my ever-increasing food expenditure budget and while we can swing it, I know not everyone has that luxury. This problem won't be solved quickly or simply and is going to take a complete paradigm shift.
Good point. I live in a rural area of SD. There is no option for organic fruit and vegetables. I rely on the local farmer’s market in the summer (which is now over) and have to drive an hour, one way, to the nearest city of any size to obtain healthier options. In the winter, the roads are hazardous.
Lots of people don’t even know how to cook cheaply and relatively healthily. They also never learned how to feed themselves on a budget. People used to be able to make do with very little because they knew how to stretch their dollars and they often could keep chickens and grow some of their own food. Even if you don’t buy organic, not using processed pre-prepared foods goes a long way to being healthier. Government programs that are supposed to “help” poor people exacerbate these issues rather than helping to mitigate them by making horrible unhealthy foods more accessible than healthy ones 😕
So very many people don't cook at all. My mother grew up on a farm, and she knew how to cook and was always very healthy conscious. I learned from her. Also, when I was in junior high school we had a cooking class, also sewing, and since then I never thought to NOT cook our food from scratch. I don't think cooking is taught any more. These days people don't seem to know anything about food, or how bad processed and packaged foods really are. It's sad to see. They are generally nutritional illiterates.
Organic food is helpful but for most folks isn't required.
And the regular processed stuff would be just as expensive if the veg oils (corn and soy) weren't subsidized by us taxpayers via USDA money to farmers, which of course also incentivizes them to grow more of those crops. Conventional pork would be more expensive if the pig feed (corn and soy) wasn't subsidized.
So the organic stuff isn't necessarily "made" to be expensive (although the certifications are costly if you demand "proof" of organic farming). The other stuff is made to appear cheap.
The processed foods are subsidized. Or least the corn and soy used to make them are susbsidized by taxpayers via USDA money to farmers.
Even conventional produce is often although not always more expensive than junk food.
Organic isn't necessarily required, except for some folks. It's more expensive because yield per acre may be less, it can be more labor intensive at times, and the certification process is costly.
Spot on. People have lost (or never had) their sense of discipline. I know some things aren’t people’s fault but there are many cases of people just preferring the “easy” way, that doesn’t require any more effort on their part than taking a pill every day or an occasional injection at the doctor’s office. Even people who have the deck stacked against them can do a lot when they put their minds to it, I have seen countless examples. Imo discipline is a lost virtue, it’s something we as a culture need to instill more of when raising our children. It always pays off in the future.
I’m also tired of people blaming everyone but themselves for their choices and the consequences of those choices. I have been saying lately (only half jokingly) that we need a new party, the “Responsibility Party” for people to be accountable for their own life choices. Yes people can and do mess up. What you do at that point is not wallow in self pity and excuses, blaming everyone else, but pick yourself up and try again. People have lots of power when they want to use it but it’s easier to blame and whine.
Running logic you are right on target. .🎯 I absolutely love the responsible party. People don’t want to do anything that is hard work. Staying healthy is hard work. Choosing the right food can be challenging, but it is absolutely necessary. My coworkers find it hard to believe that I’m going to be 70 in a few months. I exercise and I eat healthy. Does that mean I don’t sometimes deviate from the best choices, of course not. But people have to be proactive in their health. We only get one body.😵💫
I agree. And I also believe in “treats” sometimes, it’s ok not to eat “healthy” 100% of the time. You still need to enjoy food, and life. And lots of treats aren’t even that unhealthy if you make them yourself or get them from a place that uses quality ingredients. Everything in moderation is my motto.
Donna, yes, no one is forcing them to buy those junk products, but a side effect of eating them makes people fat AND lazy. They just want to eat the easiest, most convenient thing they can find. Cooking takes planning, effort and energy. And what most call cooking means buying pre-made casseroles and desserts and sticking them in the oven. Or assembling you own casserole from several canned, processed foods. I get sick when I see people posting these “so-called” great recipes. Throw in another bag of Great Value frozen GMO corn for extra yumminess! 🙄
Corn, one of the most yummy veggies on the planet, is now nothing but poison. High-fructose corn syrup may as well be labeled "rat poison" and it's a chemical our bodies don't recognize and can't metabolize, and it's in everything, and often listed within the first three ingredients.
Wheaties always tries to put superior athletes on their boxes. In the ‘70’s I worked for Kellogg- who had a lions share of the market at that time. In my weekly report I would tell them the market was shifting and they should look to healthier products. Silly me, that didn’t age well. During the time I was there Bruce Jenner won the decathlon and everyone loved Bruce. And he graced the cover of the Wheaties box. The feds investigated this as false advertising and wanted to bring suit against General Mills for false advertising. Turns out Bruce really did eat Wheaties during his training. Your tax dollars at work.
Kellogs was started by a guy who was Seventh Day Adventist. SDA teaches that meat and animal products cause people to sin, this we should be vegetarians.
I don't particularly care what a person believes, until he pushes that as a "healthier" option while in reality his beliefs are driving his propaganda. I say propaganda because vegetarianism is actually not necessarily healthy and many folks who could be relieved of their obesity and diabetes are not because they think meat and animal fats are harmful.
There was actually a catalog item where you could get yourself on a Wheaties box. Our son never actually ate Wheaties but he thought it was cool so ordered one with a pic of him crossing the finish line when he was running cross country and it hung in his bedroom for years.
Do you all remember how many celebrities made commercials and continue to make commercials for the COVID vaccines? 🤨 Even way back with the Andy Griffith show they pushed the Tetanus shots and they used the fear to push it.
There is absolute truth in your message, but it’s also helpful to know that we are being manipulated. Farmed, really. Remember the tobacco lawsuits from the’90s? The tobacco companies just went on to junk food. Read Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss. Our serfdom gets a big start at the grocery store and ends in hospitals (for the lucky ones) and nursing homes (for the unfortunates). Forewarned is forearmed.
Let us also not forget that in cities with food deserts, as in St. Louis, MO, the prosecuting attorney, Kim Gardner, (St. Louis is not the only city operating in this way) would not prosecute crime. Temp tags that expired in 2021, no license plates, no insurance, and treating stoplights and stop signs as optional. I will say that the Aldi I went to while visiting there did NOT have self checkouts. There is so much theft, I don't know how these grocery stores stay in business. If law enforcement could enforce the laws already on the books, perhaps these cities would experience some relief.
I worked for Aldi in the early 90's - a long time ago now, but towards the end of my time there, they closed a couple of the inner city stores, they weren't profitable. I worked primarily in the burbs, and then when I became a regional mgr, my territory was mostly rural. But spent a few months in one of the inner city stores. It was trashed almost daily around the 1st of the month. People discarding perishable items in the canned good aisle, someone breaking a jar of jelly or dropping a carton of eggs and then people just running their carts over the mess, not telling anyone a cleanup was needed, thefts, and so on. Ended up re-opening inner city locations when local pols started accusing them of racism when the 'food desert' term entered the lexicon in the early 2000's. No idea if they are now profitable, or whether their existence is written off as a cost of doing business.
And yes, KC is similar. Down 300 police officers, morale is in the tank as too many criminals are not prosecuted, crime is oozing out into the burbs and yes, temp tags are forever.
Betsy, my sister just texted me that we lost 2 childhood friends this week....one died in her sleep and they don't know why (of course they don't!) and they other with sudden onset brain cancer! She has no clue shots may be causing harm!
Betsy Frost- You literally hit the nail on the head! As a nation a great percentage of us are just too lazy or too distracted by unimportant issues to focus on our health and fitness! I am constantly researching about food additives, healthy natural foods, exercising for people over 60- and I know a lot and agree whole-heartedly with MAHA- and yet I have yet to live the truth reflected in the healthy lifestyle that I know is best for me and my family! We not only need to live MAHA, we need to LEAD MAHA. I DID REFUSE THE COVID VACCINE AND FLU VACCINE for my family, and we have not had the repeated episodes of either illness. I had the flu 60 years when I was 12 and never had it again. My kids had the flu once. Each of us had covid twice since 2020 and they were mild episodes- completely well in 5 days following the FLCCC.NET Protocols! Hooray for ivermectin and immune building vitamins!
Yes! I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and this is exactly what I see. There is plenty of blame to place on our institutions for this mess, but we also have to look in the mirror. People have blindly accepted pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and multiple doctor’s appointments for every little ailment. And you are correct, many don’t want anything different. They want an easy fix. It is very sad to watch. They want their drugs. All of them. I have tried to gently point them in different directions and they will defend all their drugs and try rationalize why they “need” them, or think I’m crazy. I just try to plant little seeds and hope it eventually clicks one day. Our lives don’t have to be this way, revolving around modern healthcare . It truly is shocking how so many people live in the Hell that is our modern healthcare.
There are people who think drugs can fix any and everything, just take a pill for it. Look at Ozempic for weight loss...why don't the doctors teach their overweight patients about nutrition and how to eat in order to lose weight instead of having them take drugs? But people want a quick fix and not have to change anything.
I'm really into holistic health. Had a family member come visit last month. She is overweight. She asked me if there was any pill over the counter she could take to help her lose weight. I told her she could take berberine which would help her glucose levels, but she needed to fix her diet. She eats constantly and it's all processed foods, never drinks water, always cokes. I told her she needed to cut all that out. She didn't want to hear that. People are lazy and too comfortable. They want an easy fix and still be able to live the lifestyle they always have. She is younger than me and already had a stent put in and also had a stroke. And she's not jabbed.
I think more than lazy, they are addicted. Addictions are hard to break. The fact that (as RFK Jr. points out) food companies have (former tobacco) scientists in labs creating additives which will make the food addictive is the key to the whole mess. It's possible to change and get healthy, but first people have to connect the dots: understand they are addicted and that their health issues are the result.
Choices lead to addictions, and also get us out of them. My point is that it helps to understand that your diet is filled with addictive substances. It's not about abdicating responsibility but gaining empowering knowledge that can help support better, conscious choices.
I spoke with a retired friend who worked as a nurse in mental hospitals. She said she never treated people who were addicted as victims. She said that if they never understood that where they were was the result of life choices, they would never change. Until they take responsibility for their actions, no change will ever occur.
Your right Leah Rose, the processed food, is full of addicting additives. And people just don’t wanna work hard to get unaddicted. It’s a shame. Sugar is as equally addictive as crack for some people.😢
I fully understand the addiction. But if you want to do something bad enough, you find a way to do it, addiction or not. And if you refuse to even consider it, I just don't know. It's sad.
The addiction associated with food is a little different than the addictions associated with alcohol or drugs or nicotine. We NEED to eat food but we can live our whole life without consuming the latter substances. I certainly was not aware of how addictive sugar is for most people. Similarly, I had no idea they genetically modify fruit varieties to be sweeter and therefore, more addictive. This isn't simply a matter of "well just stop eating what's bad for you." People need to be educated that it is even happening and then given alternatives. Some will make changes and some won't. Tale as old as time.
I miss the old pineapples that were actually tart. Now they are just sweet syrup. When they have any flavor at all. Organic Maui Jet Fresh used to be good, but it was too expensive for them to continue bringing over to mainland.
It's like the honeycrisp apple. I call it the ignorant person's apple (sorry if you like them). There are soooooo many better apples out there, but people are afraid of complex flavors now, it seems. Has to be 100% sweet and only sweet. Or the tart can't be too assertive, or peeps freak out.
I sold apples wholesale and at farmer's markets for years. At the FM, I always tried to educate my custy's about each apple variety, why we didn't sell the "club" apples (the one's you have to pay a fee to grow, like Opal (TM) etc.). What always got me was people asking for honeycrisp, which we had but only for 2 weeks at a time, and when I would suggest something similar (crunchy, juicy, sweet-tart, and no WAY does it bruise as easily as a honeycrisp) they just could not experiment. Not even for one. They would rather go to a store and buy offshore product or WA out of controlled atmosphere, all of it disintegrating by the minute.
SMH
Education is key, but a little curiosity would help too.
What a shame! She’s being drugged with that food, in the past year I’ve done a serious redo with my food…slowly but surely I’ve lost 20lbs, I haven’t started a work out plan yet but that’s step two. Figure if I can lose another 20 this year I’ll be where I want to be on the scale. It’s reducing one thing at a time, IMHO, drastic measures only work 5% of the time, I finally feel like I get it! AND NO shots in my stomach!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It’s 80% diet, 20% exercise. You have your priorities straight. You can’t outrun a bad diet and you’ll see faster, better results from your exercise by fueling your body the right way.
Getting a dog will motivate you to get out and walk every day 😊 That’s all your body needs to have a healthy heart. Add some weights 3 days a week and you’ll have healthy bones too.
For one thing I don’t drink pop, I may have some diet lemonade but otherwise just water and tea. I do a bit of fasting, not every day but probably 4-5 days a week I don’t eat breakfast. I don’t (if I can) eat after 6:00, only drink water. Snacking is hard for me, I love crunchy 🤦🏻♀️ so I substituted crackers/cheese etc with pistachios. I’ve just recently given those up and replaced with veggies. Frankly, it’s just pulling out or changing a bad food habit and adding a better one. What can you substitute that’s healthy for something you love. One big one, last week, I gave up coffee (with cream 😭) it’s not been easy but I do feel better and now drinking tea in the morning.
Thank you! I really like crunchy snacks too - good suggestion regarding veggies. Did you give up coffee because of the cream? Do you not like unadulterated coffee? I'm not a huge coffee drinker and much prefer tea, but that is the one time I do add some sugar.
EDIT: just saw your response to Robin. I drink one cup of 1/3 caffeinated coffee in the morning and then one cup of tea in the afternoon (it's a ritual with my husband - we sit down for a cuppa and talk about our day on our back deck weather permitting).
As far as giving up the coffee with cream, I saw on Shark Tank that a woman who gave up coffee came up with a non coffee coffee made with chicory and carob. It's called SIPS. The panel all liked the drink but no one invested. I'm thinking of giving it a try as it would be better for me than coffee.
Teechino is made with chicory; you can buy it in a bag to brew like tea. I buy the one with dandelion, which has its own health benefits. Just know that chicory is a prebiotic fiber so a lot of people tolerate it only in moderate amounts. https://a.co/d/753kajb
Thanks I’ll check it out…honestly the withdrawal from the caffeine is the hardest. I was a 3 cup a morning (espresso) drinker. Not small cups either. My body was telling me it’s time to stop…🤷🏻♀️
So true. Sadly, our daughter always looked to pills to fix everything instead of changing her lifestyle. The bartender at a restaurant told us she had a hip replacement and in the next month , will have both knees replaced. She's 47. Lifestyle people. Diet. Cancer in a can, fried everything, fast food, and processed food will destroy your body. None of it is food.
Coke? Diet? How many skinny ppl drink diet drinks? Maybe I don't pay attention unless they are obese. I've been obese most of my life. Educated by an upside down pyramid built by GOV acronyms and payouts.
The food pyramid and then the stupid, "healthy plate," did so much damage. Anecdotally, I gave up drinking my afternoon can of Coke one year for Lent and in 6 weeks, making absolutely no other change in my diet or exercise habits, had dropped 7 pounds. It was crazy.
Got a goofier one for you, 21 years ago, I built our stone house, with help of course . Each day at lunch, the stone mason and I would go into town for fast food. I got a Burger King Angus burger and a small fry. Drank water. Gave half the fries to my 2 dogs. In 2 weeks , I put on 5 pounds. I switched to a bowl of ice cream at lunch. In a week, I dropped the 5 pounds.
One winter in upstate NY - probably about 20 years ago now - my FIL was having to shovel his driveway on an almost daily basis. Well, by the time winter was over, he had dropped 10 pounds. Again. No other dietary changes, just a daily dose of physical activity. It made an impression on me. Same thing happened when he took on building a retaining wall in his yard.
The Lent I gave up drinking Coke was probably 20 years ago now and I can't even take a swallow of the stuff now. Once you lose the taste - it's gone.
I don’t lose weight unless I also lose my recurring soda addiction (honestly, I will have one after several weeks without and it tastes like the chemicals it’s filled with….but I push through and finish it anyhow!!! So stupid of me, it’s embarrassing! But I can be stronger than this damn addiction….had soda on a long drive yesterday to stay awake, but not having it again on the drive home!! I might force some coffee down my throat and learn to like that somehow but soda has to be off the table!)
How long did they laugh at Atkins? He was telling everyone in the 80's to stop the carbs. He lived into his 80's and till his dying day the media ridiculed him. But he knew the problem was the American diet.
I believe one of the worst addictions in America are “diet” drinks. I used to work with a guy who was obese and he was constantly drinking a diet Dr. Pepper. He had twelve or more every day. I really wanted to tell him that they weren’t working. The chemical additives in those drinks are highly addictive and destructive to your metabolism. It’s sad that the health of so many has been ruined by lies.
I’m starting a group FOR FREE on Substack and X November 1. We’re going to dive into the nitty gritty how to fix your food problems for life This is for any budget, and any stage of life. I’ve healed so many diagnoses and the beginning of all healing is, let your food be your medicine.
Exercise helps, even just walking. Daughter can't stand to "just walk," so she took up pickleball after years of tennis. Easier to find people to play 3+ times a week.
She pestered me to play several times a week, which told me she was serious about the change. That lead to us playing 2-3 times a week. Mostly try to play when she can't find anyone else so she doesn't HAVE to suffer through walking. But she will walk or play every single day now.
Huge change, lost 20 lbs the first month, now looking for the next thing she can improve. She was finally ready.
One step forward that you can sustain leads to another...
I have 3 ppl in my close circle that started looking for a way to improve health when a med test result showed concern the second time. First time ignored, second got their attention. I've talked for years about friends that got healthier with diet and exercise changes.
One got the pre diabetic scare. Walked 5 miles 2X per week like she was training for the Olympics. Now she runs 3X per week and competes in 10K races. She won her age bracket recently for the first time. Loves running, can't stand tennis or pickleball. Counts carbs bc that was he main food obsession.
And now has much improved blood pressure. And not remotely close to pre diabetic.
Another one... went to doc with extreme blood pressure, doc says go to ER, he refuses (no insurance). Decided to start walking an hour a day. Half mile first time. A year later, he's up to four miles a day, always in the South Texas heat and humidity. He says he's paying the price for his ignorance. Down 50 lbs to a healthy weight, looks great. Now eating better with a similar step by sustainable step approach to improve.
Fat encapsulates poisons in your system that would be damaging if they entered your bloodstream. Get rid of the toxins and the fat just disappears. This also applies to medications. Many ailments that people are taking prescriptions for can be remedied with natural protocols. Drugs disrupt body processes.
Maybe if she was paying a nutritionist, she might behave better. It’s the same reason people hire a personal trainer even when they know how to exercise themselves.
Most everyone I know is Covid/Vax brainwashed. They implicitly trust their doctors and when the booster doesn’t work, they honestly believe “it could have been so much worse if I had not taken the booster.” It’s maddening! When I suggest the booster is not safe and ineffective, I get the silent treatment.
Saw this funny quote on a meme: " When you're dead, you don't know you're dead, the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid."
Our biological dentist immigrated from Iran when she was 19. she noticed a lot of people weren't as smart as she thought they would be. When she found we fluoridated the water, she said "ah hah".
I guess the best you can do would be to lead them to or print out the Cleveland clinic study of its own 51,000 employees which found that the more booster someone had, the more often they got Covid. The group with the least Covid was the unvaccinated.
I just laugh when they use that line and tell them there's NO WAY to design a scientific trial to prove or disprove that statement, not unless you used Mengele-like tactics with twins and deliberate, identical infection after having "boosted" only one twin.
People want pills and easy fixes for their bad health habits. Big pharma doesn’t really have to push very hard to sell their drugs. They can’t produce some of them fast enough 😂
Just give them their pills and jabs and send them on their way to chronic disease, depression and nutrient deficiencies.
Studies have shown sheep actually connote a lab coat with smarts and defer to them. Impressive (stupid as eff). isn't it. But then again, shallow is a hallmark of the smart phone droids.
Yes, another slow-kill weapon that is marketed as an
“eat what you want, no need to exercise“ solution. My male coworker who is diabetic was prescribed Ozempic to fix all his problems. He ended up hospitalized with severe intestinal inflammation, antibiotic resistant infections and other complications.
BIL got covid for the third time last week. Said it was so bad even his eyeballs hurt. Jabbed twice and boostered at least once. On Paxlovid. The first time he got it was August of 21, shortly after his first two jabs. Next time was in the winter of 22. He waited to go to his winter place in FL until he could get a booster. I want to literally scream at him, what do you not get.
So many acquaintances go on social media complaining about getting covid for the third and fourth times after being jabbed and boostered, each time sicker, and commiserating about Paxlovid like it’s some secret club they are in.
Yes, you are not supposed to take it if you have heart issues, but doctors do not read the warnings and neither do the pharmacists. We had an elderly friend with a heart condition who got COVID last year and his doctor put him on Paxlovid. We warned him not to take it. He took it for a day and then stopped.
A friend told me a co worker's father was given Paxlovid right after it came out. Can't remember what he went to the Big Pharma sales rep (that's a doctor, to sheep) for, but he was given a covid test first, which of course came out positive.
Some years ago I had a website about taking charge of your health in the face of cancer. I naively thought that cancer would be enough of a wakeup call that people would choose to live a more conscious and informed life. I was wrong. Even in the face of cancer, I guestimate that no more than 10-15% of people make any significant changes to their lives. Go figure.
I had lymphoma 23 years ago, went the chemo/radiation route (had two kids, and didn't know any better at the time). I was shocked at how much junk food was eaten in the chemo room (sometimes we were there for 8 hours). A candy dish at the reception desk. Not one word about nutrition from the doctors or nurses, and I was chewed out for taking vitamins. Apparently taking care of your body means helping the cancer. SMH.
When my wife talked to the surgeon after her initial diagnosis, and scheduled a mastectomy (later canceled) he never asked anything about our lifestyle, nor mentioned nutrition. Slash, burn, poison. All they know, all they are allowed to do.
She is fine. Went completely holistic to cure it, diet and lifestyle change. No pain ever. Smaller (dead) tumor is still there, and the breast shrunken and a bit deformed, but the cancer is gone. She feels great, exercises 3X week with me, and lives a normal (new lifestyle) life. July 23 2021 was the date she found out.
Thank you for sharing this!! I cannot hear enough stories about healing cancer naturally, especially given how poorly I treated my body in the past….if your wife can heal cancer naturally, virtually any ailment can be healed naturally (I have none and with changes I made, should just get healthier….but love the reminders from people like you and your wife that this is the way we are meant to live)
Pretty much my experience. And here these brain dead droids are taking to a 4 leaf clover guy, someone who has actually cured cancer naturally with no oncologist involved, and still they aren't curious. It boggles my mind.
I knew a couple, wonderful people, but brainwashed. They couldn’t wait for the Jab to come out. I mentioned to them that it was experimental and that maybe they should wait to see if it’s safe. They did not listen and got the jabs as soon as they were available. Within months the wife was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. After a year of chemo/radiation it went into remission. Then the husband was diagnosed with throat cancer. He died two years ago of multiple organ failure cause by the cancer and the cancer treatments. She died three weeks ago of triple negative breast cancer.
I miss them terribly.
I know many other vaxxed individuals who have died or who are now experiencing severe health problems since the vaxx.
When will people wake up and realize what has been done to us? When will the criminal perpetrators be held accountable?
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Best reminder ever, Ed. Experts can stay stumped, baffled, and Octoberly surprised, but we know exactly what to do. “Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15).
The best (cringiest) part of the LA Times piece you reference--which did NOT in fact detail how Kennedy wouldn't MAHA, incidentally--is this:
Would Vice President Kamala Harris make America healthier? Her record suggests so. In a rare move, Scientific American endorsed Harris, citing her support for expanding healthcare access (which, studies show, improves people’s long-term health), capping prices on life-preserving prescription drugs such as insulin and acting to diminish the deadly harms of guns and climate change.
EDITOR: There's a bonus in it for 'ya if you can squeeze climate change into the piece.
But no one stops to ask why there are so many with diabetes or why so many need life saving drugs. Last time I checked, guns were not on the top of the list for what kills us. Cancer and heart disease always are tho, hmmm...
Cancer seldom kills people. What kills them are the usual treatments, and/or the underlying causes that created the cancer. This is a huge myth. Cancer is not, should not, be a death sentence, It should be a massive wake up call to change your lifestyle. Chose not to? I suggest you pick out your tombstone.
Kackela talks about health care like Blankenship talks about how the demise of DEI “could spell disaster.” Returning to normalcy WILL spell disaster for Kackela, biostitutes, Blankenship, racists, and child molesters. How refreshing will it be when America “turns back” from the path to destruction? Get ‘er done, prayer warriors. We’re an unstoppable force. “If God is for us, who can stand against us?” (Romans 8:31).
My goodness they are getting a lot of mileage out of the insulin pricing scheme. Here's an idea, Kamala, how about we figure out why SO MANY PEOPLE NEED IT NOW??
And this is how stupid doctors are. The majority of diabetics are type 2 and the worst thing they can do is take insulin. They already are producing too much. They are resistant to the insulin helping glucose get into their cells. Hence too much insulin floating around in the body. Only type 1 diabetics need insulin.
And all of the other medical societies and boards. American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of OB/Gyns, American College of Physicians, and the rest.
You should know that less than 50% of physicians (I think) hold membership in AMA.
As I have said repeatedly, the ENTIRE medical establishment has been captured by the Rockefeller's. For a century. The med schools, the charities, the regulatory agencies, the politicians, the media, the doctors. Want an exception? If it is sanctioned and recognized but the government, the MSM, and the agencies, There Are No Exceptions.
Today is the feast day of St Theresa of Avila. I love this quote from her writings.
“Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices."
2 Corinthians 12: 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
“Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name. “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.”
Amen!!! Governor DeSantis shows how it’s done. Too bad more governors don’t follow suit. Mine included (Alabama). We missed our chance at having a governor like DeSantis; the state Deep State made sure of that.
My go to quote from now until Election Day for my dear confused friends is one from RFK. “ we have to love our children, more than we hate each other.” Thank you, Jeff, for another great masterpiece.
I have learned a lot recently that was hidden from us by our supposedly caring regulators. I truly believed that vaccines were a valuable safeguard for humanity until the Covid scam opened my eyes. Now, the Roundup controversy is coming to light. I didn’t believe how dangerous it could be, I just didn’t use it in my backyard because the dogs ate grass and I thought ingesting it might be harmful. Wow, was I wrong!
RFK Jr. is a man of principle, unfortunately a bit liberal for my tastes, but he may have been right about vaccines and chemicals in food all along. He will truly Make America Healthy Again if given the opportunity.
On RFK Jr., if I ever have a chance to meet him I will sincerely apologize for calling him a clueless curmudgeon for many years. He truly has the potential to do great things for our nation!
On Covid, could it be that the opening of American eyes to the revolving doors among big pharma, big agriculture, and our regulators will ultimately save more people than the jabs killed? I think it’s possible and I sense that God is working behind the scenes.
I have awaken to reality much as you have. After reading The Real Anthony Fauci I had a completely different take on Bobby. Just his citations & research alone was impressive. He did poke at Trump at the beginning but I chose to keep reading & glad I did.
My dog just had a splenectomy - removed a three pound tumor that was found to be malignant (30% of her body weight!!). The cancer vet recommended Chemo and said that might buy her another three to six months. We said no thank you, put her on a homeopathic diet of homemade anti cancer dog food and other supplements. My ten year old Pom is now acting like a puppy again! Just had her blood work run last week (60 days post surgery), and NO SIGNS of cancer. Roundup. That is the only explanation we can find for the cause of her cancer. No more roundup for us…only natural homemade weed killer for this family from now on. And only Holistic Vets…
My Pit, Samson, had 3 incidents of mast cell tumors that were high grade and went through chemo 3 times a few years back. It was quite a difficult time. I then read about an in-vitro study where Turmeric was successful in warding off breast cancer in dogs. I started giving it to him and soon switched to a limited ingredient diet with almost no carbs.
The results are in! He’s had 4 more tumors since but all 4 were low grade. The vet removed them with NO CHEMO NEEDED!
So glad your pooch is cancer-free! Turmeric is one of the many ingredients we use in our homemade anti-cancer dog food recipe ;). Turkey tail, too. IVM in the am and Fenben in the pm. It’s a tedious regime, but so worth it!
His organization: Children' Health Defense has been about vaccines, but also clean air and water. They have been funding many lawsuits to keep the government in check. There's currently a $1 million match through Oct 31
Just listened to the podcast Forbidden History. The episode was on war of the worlds radio show. The underlying factor was that radio was starting to overtake the newspapers and the newspapers blew it out of proportion to try to get dirt on the emergence of radio.
I don't think one should be allowed to vote, shed their skin or carapace or whatever, and then vote again. I don't think legislation should be required to prevent this.
Thank you Jeff. Having worked at NASA and studied the ET and UFO claims in depth, I can tell your readers that it's the biggest hoax on the planet. Back in the day they got Reagan to talk about an alien invasion bringing us earthlings together. Of course that was fake too.
Yes, thanks Richard. These so called “national security” gate keepers retire to their homes after the nightly “drone” show and enjoy a perfectly restful sleep. Barack Obama does the same in his oceanside mansion that should be washed out to sea by now according to the “climate prophets”. Rush Limbaugh used to say something like “don’t listen to them, watch them”. I remember Rush and have a good nights sleep as well.
Removing the woke agenda from the Florida university system restores a small bit of faith that I *may* be able to send my daughter off to a university and not have her become indoctrinated. Outside of Hillsdale and liberty I was not sure where I might send her - but Florida might just be the answer! Thanks Governor!
USF’s pre-med classes are still incredibly WOKE…my brother is on the phone daily trying to combat the indoctrination my nephew is exposed to daily…argh! Good thing he’s a strong spirited Christian boy who knows how to hold onto his true North and is not swayed by anyone.Love that kid…his parents did well!!
Good. Trump could totally negotiate with aliens. I hope our October Surprise is aliens. This year is getting weirder by the hour, so I’m not sure we’d know anything short of proof of alien life as an October Surprise.
Great big beautiful aliens…Aliens like you’ve never seen before. No one could do - no one! They tried, but they failed. No…only I [Trump], could get it done. So I got it done, and I’ll get it done again. No one has ever seen alien negotiations Ike that before. They said, “He can’t do it. He’ll never do it.” But I did it While Sleepy Joe slept at the beach and Lyin’ Kamala was busy with her fundraisers, and by the way, even though she’s raised billions, she’s still losing bigly…what a shame. What a disgrace to our nation she is! But while Sleepy Joe slept and Lyin’ Kamala lied, I got it done. And now our nation,and , really the whole world, is safe and sound. Can you believe it? Of course you can, because you’re the smart ones. You’re AWAKE. And THAT’S how we make America Great Again! And now that the aliens are on the Trump Train, they can’t stop us. There’s no stopping us!
Kennedy to pivot from vaccines to food integrity... sounds good to me. We'll get to vaxines soon enough, but everyone knows our food system is a disaster.
This is a refreshing and winning strategy.
If interested, Vani Kari a.k.a. Food Babe, who presented at Senator Ron Johnson’s fantastic roundtable a few weeks ago, will be in Michigan today: “Today I’m marching with hundreds of activists and health leaders to hold Kellogg’s accountable for poisoning American citizens with artificial ingredients they don’t use in other countries. 🥣 You can watch on The HighWire website and X page. You can also watch on my Instagram page. We’ll go live around 10:30am EST today. We will be delivering over 400,000 petition signatures to their headquarters, asking them to remove the artificial dyes and BHT from their cereals once and for all!” 💪🏻 LFG!!
I didn't know why ppl keep comparing what we do with "other countries". Show me the stats of their healthy populations. Let's just be naturally wise and healthy for ourselves and I don't give a .... Whatever the rest of the world is doing.
I'm a food label reader, and I buy European produced foods at Aldi. It's eye opening.
I also read food labels avidly - avoiding products with more than 5 ingredients or those with seed oils. But the best way to health via food is to eat foods that don't have labels! I.e., (organic, if possible) meats, eggs and produce.
Buy organic from people you know eg CSAs. Too many commercial companies slap the label on foods that are not truly organic.
"Organic" is what we used to call "food".
I try to buy chocolate and cookies only from Europe.
We lived overseas for years and when we moved back my kids wouldn’t eat bread 😅 and I won’t touch American wax, I mean chocolate .
There are very good small craft chocolate makers here in the US but the mass produced stuff (except maybe Ghirardelli) is mostly crap.
Same. When I visit home... OMG, the bread is so delicious, and the cheese, I won't get started on the cheese...
Wax. You're right! Hershey's bars taste like those wax lips we used to eat at Halloween.
Right about the wax, IMO. Tastes like that to me. Family brings us lots of Lidl chocolate when visiting from UK
So you don't find paraffin delicious?
/sarc-off
Fine & Raw chocolate. Check them out.
My favorite cookies are Walkers shortbread.
I can eat only one or two and be satisfied now.
I have bought them at Christmas, or right after when the clearance prices show up, and stocked up for the year, as the budget allows. And the cans are worth saving if you're in to that. :)
Yum.
True Scottish shortbread: proportions of 4,2,1. Nothing else.
If you want to try making your own, here's a recipe ... Reminds me of "Biscuits With The Boss" from Ted Lasso ....
https://cravingsjournal.com/scottish-shortbread-cookies/
Thanks for that tip. I eat mostly paleo, the non-mostly part sometimes includes cookies. My wife is gonna be on the lookout for Walkers. I'd love to find some where I'm happy with one or two!
My family hosted a foreign exchange student from the Faroe Islands (way back in 1973!). She tasted our chocolate (must have been Hershey's!) and was NOT impressed! She felt bad for us, having to eat that nasty stuff!!
Everything made by Hershey’s now has ‘bioengineered ingredients’
Good luck even finding what that means….
Watch out for cadmium and lead. It’s in the soil all over the world. I’m simplifying but they can’t do anything about it.
There’s a list, google it. Ghiradell’s 86% is on the current sorta ok list. It’s not great tasting nor does it have great texture. 😢
Karen. Want to read about testing of chocolates. mamavation.com
Fine & Raw chocolate.
They have a healthy Nutella product as well as other items
Yes! Yummy.
Lol
European sugar less harmful than American sugar?
I never saw high fructose corn syrup on the ingredients of a European chocolate bar.
Because they taste better, and are less sweet?
More flavor...less nasty ingredients.
I am not most of the time, although I should be, except when I shop for my mom. She is allergic to red dye #40 and it's amazing how many products have that in there. Including a calcium supplement. It's a white pill!?
Yeah, but the right shade of white is crucial… 🙄
Buying pasta made in Italy means it's non GMO. Mexican made crackers as well.
Trader Joe's pasta is made in Italy...it's the only kind I buy.
The point of highlighting "other countries" is it's an obvious example that the food processors are lying. They claim they must put all these additives in food, it's required for whatever reason. Yet in countries where it's illegal they don't.
It's the same with drug prices. When a drug costs 10x or a 100x here what it costs in other countries that's important to know. They aren't losing money in those other countries yet they sell the drug at a fraction of the US cost. It's de-facto evidence the US market is rigged with rampant price-fixing.
How the companies operate in other countries (where they aren't allowed to do what they do here) is hugely important as it demonstrates the corruption of both these companies and the US regulators.
I’ve always heard that it’s because the places with socialized medicine negotiate prices and the drug companies make up for that by charging us more 😕 Because they can.
Our hospital costs factor in hospitals being required to treat the indigent, so those with hospital insurance pay more. Enforced "charity". As I understand it.
Yes, it is bankrupting many hospitals...
Destroying America to win elections seems to be a bit of a radical idea... no? And the SMELL!!!
IMO that's an excuse that doesn't hold water. Even when the government is actually buying the drugs (i.e. through Medicare) or giant corporations are (insurance companies) we still pay the hugely inflated prices in the US. Only a percentage of the population are paying individually out of pocket and lack negotiating leverage. So it's not just negotiation or those same forces would be at work here, but they aren't.
The prices drug are systematically fixed in the US, and the government not only allows it but it encourages it. Not so in other countries.
I was more saying that they inflate prices here because they have nothing stopping them, contrary to other places where the governments won’t allow it. As you said in your last paragraph—the government here not only allows it but encourages it. And thus the Pharma companies (and those who invest in or have stakes in them) get $$$$$ profits.
Proverbs 20:23 (ESV)
"Unequal weights are an abomination to the Lord, and false scales are not good."
I use a product made by Abbvie. I order it from alldaychemist for $10. In the US, the price is almost $80.
Nailed it!
Because Americans are always being compared to Europeans. We’re fat, they’re not. It’s all the unhealthy crap in our food. Look back to videos prior to the mid 1980’s. Everyone is thin. When I went to HS in the 70’s we only had 1 or 2 morbidly obese kids in my class. We went to a HS football game a while back, even the cheerleaders were chunky. I try and cook single ingredient foods, but sometimes you want a Ritz cracker, especially if it’s topped with cream cheese and pepper jelly.
They’re getting fatter though. But many countries have a healthier food culture overall than we do. They prefer quality over quantity and take more time to eat and enjoy their food. They cook from scratch more. Not everyone, and there is certainly a recent trend towards more overeating and more junk food/treat foods that used to be more once a week or at most once a day things. More people used pre-prepared foods. But overall most European people have what I think is a healthier attitude with regard to food.
It's hard to compare countries without also comparing the cultures. European countries, who take more time to enjoy their food, like you say, also work fewer hours, do not have an entrepreneurial culture, live in denser neighborhoods where they walk places instead of drive, and have even more social programs than we do. We used to host teens for 2-3 week exchanges from European countries when we had teens at home as part of a non profit exchange program. They were amazed that we didn't walk anywhere, nearly all of them lived in apartments, or in row houses where a backyard didn't even exist. We hosted teens from Ukraine once where they said they couldn't sleep as it was 'too quiet' here. Used to traffic noise, neighbors, etc. None of them went to church, except maybe Christmas and Easter and thought it odd we went every week. Some would go with us, others were like, nah, I'll sleep in.
BUT the US is? (was?) the world's economic engine - going home for a 2 hour lunch in the middle of the day is not productive. Europe turned from religion long before the US, same with declining fertility rates, and labor productivity growth in the US has been more than double that of the eurozone for the past 20 years. I blame socialism. And yet, there is constant carping in the media that we should be 'more like Europe'.
I know it was tough with both of us working, kids at home and trying to make healthy meals at home with all their activities and ours too. But we made it work most of the time, although dinner may have been a turkey sandwich and carrot sticks in the car on the way to practice. And the kids complained that they didn't get to eat all the fast food like their friends did, lol.
Exactly, there are lots of factors in play.
The two hour lunch though, is by and large a thing of the past. Still, Europeans tend to take more time for their food, both preparing and eating. It’s easier for them to do so, but it’s also something they value. Our culture hasn’t seemed to put much of a premium on that for the most part.
I’m from The Netherlands.
Dutch supermarket bread has 20+ ingredients, bread from authentic French bakeries only four. The bigger the store, the more crap’s in their products. I asked a local fishmonger if he had salmon without antibiotics; they all were.
I shop for wild caught fish.
Yes, supermarkets everywhere tend to have worse quality food and more junk. Certainly I found that in France also. The best is pretty much always from smaller producers and shops.
And I do think many Europeans get more daily movement - not necessarily rigorous exercise, but just walking.
Yes, they have to put less effort in making sure they move their bodies every day.
Well, we’re bored. How many of us munch when we’re bored? I know that’s me, right down to the ground (not a long way, I’ll allow). We’ve convenienced the work out of our days so we can spend it all working for Big <insert industry here> and here we are. They don’t have suburbs, so they probably don’t drive everywhere. US vs. Europe is not an equal comparison, true, but it is revealing. I think it would be very useful to compare ourselves to the way we used to live here in these United States.
Yes agreed. Food, especially junk food, is also extremely accessible, it’s absolutely everywhere!
Extended trip to Spain and Portugal last December. During the trip I saw ONE fat dude.
He was in my mirror every morning.
😆
I actually have seen more in France than ever, and not only older folks (who if overweight always tended to be on the portly/plump side, not morbidly obese) but younger people too 😕 It used to be just tourists but now locals are starting to be fatter also.
😂
Totally agree with you. It’s worth it to fast often and recognize actual hunger pains. Push the limits of restraint to fully appreciate the taste of excellent food and not cater to the desire for junk food. Of course this does not include young growing individuals who must eat more and more often. We don’t have to stay fat!
That's because they drive more. They used to walk everywhere. Not anymore.
Yes true. And they eat more. Things that used to be occasional treats are eaten more often.
Yep, for part of my wife's masters thesis she collected old school photos which clearly shows what you describe. Go back to pre 2000 and there were hardly any overweight kids, let alone obese kids.
I very specifically remember an incident in 1979.when I was a high school senior and was horrified to find that I was 190 lbs.
My fraternity pic just the next year shows a fit young raconteur - albeit noticeably smug - who held the world by a string.
It's not only that, you feel better eating that food. When I visit my mom I eat mor , yet I loose weight and never feel stuffed.
I like Trader Joe Golden Round crackers better than Ritz when I need a guilty pleasure cracker.
Maybe comparing with other countries because our life expectancy is going down and theirs isn’t . Maybe because we suffer more chronic diseases? Might be looking for a root cause?
Covid death-jabs are the major cause of life-expectancy reversals... and will very likely significantly increase the reversals soon...
https://slaynews.com/news/renowned-scientist-all-covid-vaxxed-will-die-3-5-years/
No one using Frequency Technology needs another death-jab or vaccine of any kind. Check out this vid for more info:
https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/72152c99-9114-4f9d-8ddc-f39cf3bb48c5
No one "needs" another death-jab or vaccine of any kind, even if NOT using Frequency Tech.
But it IS very interesting for sure... tho I am not crazy about that link.
My email is harmonicresearch@gmail.com
the reason we are comparing is because these companies willfully manufacture two types of the same product - one with poison for us, and one with cleaner ingredients for the EU because unlike us, the EU actually has some food standards for their people. Our food is designed to make us sick, fat and then dead, after of course we've paid millions of dollars to be on lifelong prescriptions to counter the effects of bad food.
The depopulation agenda is mostly targeted at Western societies, as they are considered the main impediment to NWO/One World Government...
It extends expiration date , so it saves them money on discarded products.
...at the same time it shortens our expiration date!
Because other countries study the safety of chemicals and conclude that they are not safe for its citizens. We are to compromised to devote time to such silly nonsense.
It’s important because you can compare the exact same named serial made by the same company in Germany versus the US. Many toxic ingredients are illegal and other countries. So Kellogg’s, for example, will meet the German standards and not put anything poison in their fruit loops. You can see examples of this online. The major food companies were bought by the tobacco companies, RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris. They used the same strategy of hiring scientists to make the food, more palatable and addictive, the same way they made cigarettes more addictive. Of course, we would be better off eating whole foods, and organic foods. But we must get the poison and ingredients off of the grocery store shelves. Even Canada has healthier versions of the same named cereals.
that spelling (error) might be a meaningful one : " Cereal Killers "
also, if you are what you eat ........... fruit LOOPS and POP Tarts seem applicable names
If no other countries are allowing an ingredient in their food, and the USA is, it should be pretty easy to compare their studies to those here, and come to an honest conclusion. Key word being HONEST.
However Adele Davis in the 1970s? Said over 400 ingredients do not require listing on the ingredients. Forget the reasoning now, but believe she was correct
But actually, that’s the key -.When you see that food producer can make the food in healthy manner, but sells the crap product in the United States.
Brings to mind Heinz Ketchup. In Canada it has no high fructose corn syrup, though it does here in the US.
But yet you can buy the non-HFCS version here (it's called Heinz Simply Ketchup) but it's priced 40% higher.
God bless RFK Jr. I'm proud to have supported his campaign. If I vote at all, it will be for him.
Please vote. This is about so much - health may actually top the list. You have a few weeks yet. Please vote ❣️
And I can’t really taste a difference in the Simply version. So why all the sugar??
To get our kids addicted. Sugar is HIGHLY addictive!
Right. Why indeed.
Not looking at other countries would be ignorant. The way you find what works is look at different approaches and the outcomes that result. One of the many "tells" that the COVID response was a worldwide scam was the attacks on Sweden for not following the herd and locking down. Anyone with a scintilla of intelligence thought "this is great, we'll see how Sweden does, and know if we really needed all the lockdown destruction!". But no, they knew they needed to remove the ability to compare, or be exposed. The best things about the U.S. are remnants of the founders wisdom 250 years ago, like the Bill of Rights. Nowadays you can point to plenty the rest of the world does much better. Including freedom of speech. I look outside the U.S. for credible news reporting, for example. Or more credible, at least.
Re the stats they are doing better, those stats are everywhere. And they spend far less on "health care", even with inefficient socialistic systems. Our health care establishment is so bad, even those crappy systems are far better.
Because other countries are not as disease ridden as are we. Seems like a natural thing to do - try to find correlations and thus causations...
Maybe because the lack of toxins added to other countries food, strongly suggests that the food producers in America, are purposefully making you sick and unhealthy.
It matters.
And by the way, our health stats are the worst in the industrialized world.
Except that Americans pay more for health care than the entire world,and have more chronic illness and are generally MUCH SICKER>
so there are some reasons why we should be interested.
I think the point is that the EU and other countries are growing healthier foods and making healthier products. US citizens are far more unhealthy that other countries. It's a wake up call that we're being poisoned and government agencies sign off on the poison. It is markedly poignant when we see how other nations citizens are healthier.
Food has become a weapon, along with weather, and pharmaceuticals.
Using the difference between US & other countries as an example for people who don’t understand seems to be a helpful tool at times.
Thanks for the update, that is so encouraging! I’ll have to catch up with the highwire’s broadcasts.
Yes! Saw Vani on The HighWire interview. Impressive and seriously needs to be addressed.
The quality of our food affects every single person, every single day. Vaccine quality, while it arguably also affects every person, is a little more detached from our daily life, so I’m with you. We’ll get to vaccines, gotta start somewhere.
Until they mandate “vaccines” again & they’ll try if Kneepads “wins”
But so many learned from Covid, it’ll be much harder to mandate this time. I think, anyway. I might have unreasonably high expectations of people, though.
One would hope it would be harder, but all they actually have to do is come up w/ something that actually IS deadly, esp if kids are most vulnerable. Look what they got away w/ using something no more deadly than the flu which mainly targeted the very infirm & elderly (same as regular flu), of zero consequence to children & younger people & a 99% survival rate for everybody anyway.
I probably had unreasonably high expectations until 2020, too. Could not believe how quickly / easily / meekly vast swathes of the country gave up their rights & freedom. So many wanted to work from home &/or get handouts for doing NOTHING. The whole thing was a travesty but now many are conditioned to it now.
I learned a lot about my fellow Americans during Covid. Unfortunately most of it was bad-
Amazing how many people willingly allowed their rights to be compromised..and how they vilified those of us willing to question the narrative. A third of the population, to make themselves feel grotesquely virtuous, wished another third would die unvaccinated, while the last third watched in silence.
Agree, Pete. It was really traumatizing & im not over it yet. Don’t think I ever will be
The vilification was horrific. Bad enough when it’s from some politician or compromised doctor, but when it’s neighbors and friends and family - that was hard.
This is why hangings are necessary for everyone who mandated that poison:

It appears Heritage Foundation is pushing jabs:
https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/10/09/cdc-advisory-panel-should-boost-patient-choice-in-fighting-this-lung-disease/
I had side effects from the over-65 pneumonia shot.
Vision problems for 18 months.
Balance problems that still remain...although less severe.
Beware! Any over-65 vaccines are 2-3 times stronger than the regular shots.
Not only shots but anesthesia, way too strong for older people. I personally know of friends and family messed up by anesthesia.
I was tired for a week after anesthesia from a colonoscopy. You are correct.
My MIL has been dealing with balance issues! I’m going to ask her if she received this. She got 2 C shots and now thinks they are problematic, she asked me about the rsv because her Dr recommend it. 🙄
Let me know what she said.
The shot was the only thing that changed in my life. No new meds...
My good friends, 68 and 69, Requested the Stronger Flu Shot because they are older! I did not know that was even a thing. OmG. What on earth?
Yes, unfortunately, that is a thing...and 2-3 times stronger.
Oh gosh. Praying God’s protection over them🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ugh way too many conservatives still blindly worship the vaccine sacred cow 😕
wow. Talk about Daily Signal not doing the research or being captured or both.
BTW, Daily Signal is no longer associated with Heritage Foundation. See their "Our History" section:
"Our roots date to 2008 when The Heritage Foundation first introduced the Morning Bell email newsletter and The Foundry blog. Upon launching The Daily Signal on June 3, 2014, we expanded our reach to serve millions of Americans who seek a truthful source of news and commentary about the political and policy issues facing America.
"Today, The Daily Signal is an independent organization—legally separate from Heritage—with its own board of directors and leadership team.

Thank you!
Thanks!
Didn’t any reference to Heritage Foundation in this article. please enlighten me if I missed that reference. The Daily Signal is not affiliated with or directed by Heritage. Your comment is quite an effective smear on the conservative think tank. Were you aware the Daily Signal editorial staff is not connected to Heritage and may have been captured by Soros money?.
It was founded by Heritage, I just learned it became independent this past June. That's the first I heard about their separating. I've subscribed to it for years when it was Heritage.
I did not see a link to Heritage Foundation. Please explain.

My opinion only, but I think we should reserve “jabs” for the Covid shots since we cannot and should not refer to them as vaccines. IMHO, there is zero ground to compare mRNA shots to real vaccines where the benefit may actually outweigh the risk.
That said, I’m not lining up anytime soon, but for those with neurologic diseases (ineffective cough) or lung disease, pneumococcal vaccines should remain an option.
It depends on the risk / benefit assessment. How effective are the different shots? (There are four types.) What possible adverse effects can occur? You seem much more willing than I am to accept allopathic corporate recommendations in an era of blatant profit-driven "care."
Of course, risk/benefit should always be the bottom line. In the inevitable swing to the other extreme, brought on by the C horrors, we need to remind ourselves to be vigilant, but to not throw the baby out with the bath water. Recently lost two cousins to breast cancer, both diagnosed in the surgically curable stage, but elected zero treatment. (That was their right, of course.)
I had side effects from the pneumonia shot.
Tread carefully.
That's how immense the power of Pfizer's money is. It's everywhere.
Pfizer must be completely ended as a company, its corporate charter annulled and all of its shareholders bankrupted.
"Today, The Daily Signal is an independent organization—legally separate from Heritage—with its own board of directors and leadership team."
And AARP still!
If we fix the food, maybe we don't need vaxxines.
We don't need them anyway - everyone I know who got vaccinated/boosted all got covid multiple time at that - I got vaccinated as a kid for measles, mumps, chicken pocks, etc. - I caught them all - but only once. There are so many studies on populations of kids who don't get vaccinated and they seem to do much better than vaccinated kids where chronic diseases are concerned. The "war on cancer" cost billions of dollars and has been going on for years and years - has the incidence of cancer fallen? No. That should tell you something. All the the medical research focuses on potential "cures" or hopeful "band-aid effects" - none of the research is focused on prevention - why? $$$$$$$$$$
I’m old enough to have only had a polo sugar cube and maybe a tetanus shot. I caught all the childhood diseases—once. Except for the mumps. I appear to be immune to mumps.
At 67 I caught Covid and had a slight fever for 3 days, and haven’t had it since. Except for a 24 hour flu bug I have not been sick since 2021.
No vaccines or flu shots ever. I’m on no medications. No allergies.
Children get 70+ vaccines.
People begged me to get the Vaccine and now they regret it and I carry on.
Riding horses 5 days a week and along with a 4 mile walk. Writing books & golfing.
We are led to believe that we need medicine to live a long healthy life. Maybe it’s the opposite.
There is a control group for all of these vaccines.
Maybe we should be studied.
I used to get sick at least twice a year, but since supplements & a good nights sleep, intermittent fasting and cutting out most sugar and carbs, I don’t seem to get sick anymore.
It can be done if we ignore their ‘science’.
I’ll add in my deep faith in God and relaxing into his will which alleviated most of my stress.
This is beautiful. It brightened my day.
And in the last 30 years, with all the new cancer, drugs and radiation, they have only managed to improve life expectancy by an average of 3.4 months. Which really sucks when you consider many forms of chemo make you feel so horrible that they ruined the time that you have left.
Exactly. We don’t need vaccines.
The COVID Scamdemic turned me into an antivaxer.
This, and the fact that google searches for "antivaxer" peaked in the summer of 2019 . . . before covid was a thing. We are being herded.
Hopefully, you and a lot of others will eventually become 2A Enforcers along with me, when the SHTF!
Me, too.
God does awaken us to the evil around us.
Oh, I know all of that. Those who won't accept the fact that vaxxes are bad can at least accept that the food is bad. Sort of a way to slow walk them into understanding.
Yes, I big part of vaccines being sacred cows is trust in the very same institutions who push dead food and ridicule eating real food. Loss of that trust moves the needle.
I just LOVE IT that they've made exercise and eating healthy into an alt-right thing. That plays into my alt-right hands.
I just shake my head and mutter a bit when I walk by the useful idiots soliciting for cancer charities at store entrances. I engaged one once, but their ignorance is depressing, so it's not worth it. I think they're as disgusting as the wealthy psychopaths who get the money they raise.
AUTISM is destroying persons, their families, and the future of our country. And the docs know!
God gave us EVERYTHING we need, in abundance, on this earth, to keep ourselves healthy and flourish - including a natural immune system which evil has worked continuously to destroy. Evil, Satanic people work to undermine your ability to thrive. Jabs are a huge part of their effort.
We don’t need \/accines anyway. We need to END them, asap. Start reading about them, truly pull back the curtain, and you will flip out.
Yes the mystery as to how, in the early '80's they were deemed "unavoidably unsafe" so as to "deserve" a new law to protect the manufacturers to now where they are ALL "safe and effective" is, indeed, astonishing. I honestly don't understand how anyone can say it with a straight face. But here we are, millions of doctors denying that there could POSSIBLY be even a smidge of adverse reactions to be found in any of them.
I would argue it is easier to get people to accept food changes. Then move on to vaxxes. That was the point of the "maybe".
As in, maybe they'll accept that we don't need vaxxes if they see the benefits of improved food.
Yes, it's the "what else are they lying about?" principle.
I was disappointed to see Musk sticking up for polio and smallpox vaccines, and saying they helped end those scourges in his otherwise very worthwhile interview with Tucker Carlson the other day. Nobody knows everything, clearly.
Noticed the same thing; had the same reaction. No Elon, the polio vaccine did NOT prevent polio.
I had the same thought. However - I beleive many are on the "awakening paradigm" to see & learn what's really happened with the Healthcare in America. Im glad hes questioning *some* vax - thats where it starts. I trust he WILL get there. We have to remember, thia man is running 2 major corporations AND joining the MAHA movement. Maybe he hasnt done the deep ddive - yet.
I'm so pleased the Means siblings are discussing how Rockefeller single-handedly dismantled holistic Healthcare in the US. few want to beleive this but its imperative for folks to understand just how long things have been manipulated.
I watched the entire Rogan interview with the Means. Not overly impressed, but a lot to like about Casey. I DO think they're doing a lot of good because so much of the public has so much waking up to do, that if they move in the Means' direction that would be great. Calley said he didn't speak to Casey for a year when she quit her surgeon job. Huh? That was a heroic thing do to, if only more had such principles. Calley is hopelessly naive. He thinks the politicians have no idea about how they are screwing us - it's all just ignorance. Just because they SEEM to be listening to him, and considering what he says, and then SAY "I didn't know that". Jeez, these are politicians, they're expert at placating when it's expedient. Casey is much better IMO.
This is how you know, he's not really on your side.
It's foolish not to consider that possibility. I think it's more likely just a matter of nobody, not even Musk, has a good grasp of everything. But, I could be wrong, you could be right.
That’s probably one of the reasons they are pretending to ignore the quality of our food.
Anthony,
Or cancer treatments.
How about if we eliminate the vaccines, we can eat all the junk food we want? That could be closer to the truth. I'm old enough to not have had so many childhood vaccines just smallpox, and polio- I'm really healthy, thin as a stick, and I LOVED and ate plenty of junk food until just recently.
Brilliant. 👏🏻
We don’t need mRNA for SURE or many of the other ‘vaccines’.
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.
Part of getting back to wholesome food is cooking at home with clean ingredients.
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.
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.
“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.
Pessimist or pesticides, or both.
MAHA & Make Foods Healthy Again.
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.
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.
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.
Wendy, I would be interested in the name of that company if you don't mind. TY
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 .
The chicken is amazing! The beef is top quality.
https://wildpastures.com/
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.
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.
I had no idea the Democrats were behind poisoning our food system. I knew they were out to destroy our society (https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-the-democrats-are-destroying) but our food system? This is news to me.
But sooner than later, people will realize that vaccines are the biggest scam from big pharma. Once that occurs, America truly becomes healthy again: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-it-does-matter
By now I am assuming that you are aware that big tobacco diversified and bought controlling interest in a number of major food processors when their tobacco fate had been sealed.
Even though I've been advocating for organic food for 30 years, I was surprised to learn that from Casey and Calley Means... it's something that explains SO MUCH.

The dumbocraps destroy everything they touch. On purpose!
Trump has put together a winning team. He should win 400 electoral votes and re-enter the White House with a massive mandate to restore the Constitution and return us to a Constitutional Republic of, by, and for the people. I am convinced that is his primary goal.
The globalists, deep state operatives, and uniparty, and the uninformed low IQ fools who support them are still parading pathological communists and liars/plegarists Harris and Walz as the choice for America.
Why is that?
They are prepared and ready to manipulate the 2024 general election. They do not care that we know they are going to steal the election. All they know is they must hold onto the levers of power at all costs and will do anything and everything necessary to do so.
What will your response be?
Tampon Timmy has a shady past.
Too friendly with underage males.
Yes. Shocked but not shocked.
KJ, I know you can do better than that. His shady past is the very least of the problems he and kakala bring to us.

Yup, it's the exact right thing to do. Just look around, most people look absolutely terrible and it's obvious the population is being systematically poisoned. Obesity and diabetes incidence didn't skyrocket for no reason.
Watch who supposedly is on our side that objects to this. You'll have the crony capitalists saying it's an infringement on the free market (i.e. business has a right to poison people). You'll have so-called personal liberty advocates calling it the nanny state (i.e. people have a right to poison themselves). In fact most of the groups making claims like this don't believe any of it, but have coopted conservative principles to fight anything that interrupts their cash flow.
Reagan's conservatism has been completely twisted to serve the interests of corrupt giant multi-national corporations. Keep this in mind when you see pieces from National Review types attacking this. They are paid shills who long ago abandoned intellectual integrity.
All the way to how/what they plant and grow. I've seen what they do to the land and spray on the crops. You ppl scared of chem trails are looking in the wrong place. You might start looking at the universities and their 4H programs. The American version of Hitler's youth. (And I had our homeschooled children in it and lead groups. Shot gun. No pun intended. 🤣)
Serious question, what is wrong with 4H? This is the first I have heard this.
People paying attention to chem trails are not looking in the wrong place. We don't even know what they are spraying on us. Dr. Ana Mihalceas work has shown all of us have nanotech in our blood. Some speculate it is being sprayed. I'd like to know. I do have some choice in the food I eat and whether or not it is sprayed, but when it comes to chem trails I get no choice. It is a huge issue and probably much much bigger than most think because virtually nobody will touch it. The good news is, Dane Wiggington, one of the leaders in this field, has been a regular on Children's Health Defense as of late and Kennedy has actually been talking about this issue a little bit.
There aren’t many issues on which we should follow the lead of Europe, but this is one. Europe banned GMO foods many years ago. And that’s only one of the many horrible foods foisted on our citizens. How did we let this happen?
My sister went to Europe over 30 years ago and said that you didn’t see fat people walking around. A street side vendor would offer fruits and healthy food choices instead of hot dogs. And our people truly are addicted to all the bad choices.
Indeed, Based FM! I just saw a 'stack this morning about a French woman who gained 30 POUNDS in 6 months just eating the same type of diet but living here in the US. She said "Something is wrong with your food" and is having her family back in France ship groceries to her. I see extremely sad obesity everywhere and complete processed food addiction (in addition to the alcohol abuse which skyrocketed during Covid lockdowns). The number of people so fat they can't walk in Costco and need a wheelchair cart is just gross. I'm sorry - I have no other word for it. The entire FDA and CDC needs to be locked up for good.
Yes all our Swedish au pairs gained weight coming to live with us and promptly lost it when they returned. And I tried to cook healthy. These were young fit girls. One noted how sweet all our food was.
We were just in the UK for three weeks eating out all meals daily which we rarely do here yet weighed the exact same when we got back home. Try eating out three straight weeks in the US and see what happens. Already missing the croissants!!
Yep! Let’s grab everyone’s attention and circle back! 😆
It was probably too alarming for some recipients to get on board with the shots but the food, most normies know it’s not good.
A focus on food and health is sure to grab the attention of the twenty/thirty-some younger generations like it did in the my generation. And the doing something about the 'injection horror' rides on the coattails of a broad, expansive umbrella of reform.
On the subject of vaccines, food source degradation, WHO chicanery and October surprises, Canadian Lawyer Lisa delivered so much shock in this interview that even the well-informed Dr. McCullough needed a pep talk as it concluded!

I’m not sure if my post went through so this is a duplicate forgive me. I get trying to go after the little hanging fruit but people don’t get myocarditis or turbo cancer from eating Kelloggs and they certainly don’t die immediately after being injected.
I understand trying to go after a little hanging fruit, but people eating Kellogg’s cornflakes don’t get myocarditis or turbo cancer
Had an old acquaintance stop by the other day. He was searching for a new doctor. I highly recommended my Doc since he took a more natural, holistic approach....diet, exercise, lifestyle choices, etc...I casually mentioned that I really like that he wasn't quick to default to pharmaceuticals or knee-jerk surgical procedures. He called me "weird." (I reckon he thought that this is what doctors are SUPPOSED to do...prescribe and cut.) He went on to talk about his recent Alaskan cruise where he was diagnosed with Covid and sequestered to his cabin for 3 days. He had been jabbed 4 times. He just couldn't put it all together. Here was an intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken guy, yet I was staring into a vacant set of pupils. The psychosis was palpable. I'm sure I was tilting my head like a curious dog, but I doubt he would have noticed. The Establishment successfully disconnected him from his intuition.
There is such a lack of personal responsibility for health. Most people I know would rather become lifelong addicts to big pharm or have some procedure rather than do the disciplined work to stay healthy. I am so sad as more and more tell me they have heart issues or cancer. Just the other day, in a single conversation, a friend mentions receiving again her upteenth shot and then also her cancer diagnosis. They truly can't connect the dots.
They've been trained over a lifetime to think in ways that avoid connecting the dots
I see soooo much now that I didn't used to see. And largely because I have been learning to see in new ways.
It's all quite sad.
Copernicus...me too
That reminds me of an injury I had years ago. I tripped over some seaweed that was on the beach and wrenched my shoulder. I’m sure I tore something, but since I’m not a doctor person, I don’t know exactly. It hurt like H E 🏒🏒. The pain went on and on, and everyone asked if I was having surgery to repair it. My answer, NO. I did many natural things to help, never even taking pain meds, and after a year, it healed. I have no residual pain and FULL USE OF MY ARM just as it should be. No regrets.
I’m with you. I had a similar injury to my shoulder and after talking with a friend who is a chiropractor, I did appropriate exercises and it healed on its own. No surgery and full use of the arm and shoulder returned.
Same. The swing factor for me was PT would not risk further damage while surgery would hurt like HE__ and take 3-6 months to recover with more painful PT and about 50% of victims still having as much or more pain. All risk, not even a statistically sound chance of benefit.
That was a good exercise in risk to benefit analysis a year before COVID... (pun intended).
Lack of personal responsibility...for everything! That is why the D message of victimhood is so popular. If you try to point out that all of these 'victims' have some level of culpability in their situation, the hordes pounce and call you names, And if you think of yourself as a victim, you will look for someone who is going to rescue you. Enter the legions of 3 letter agencies. Maybe we need MAEA - Make Americans Empowered Again! OK not very catchy. But no one is forcing you to buy Captain Crunch, Doritos and Cheez-its.
No one is forcing you, but making healthy organic food choices a lot more expensive is a good way to make sure the rank and file consumer trying to feed a family can’t afford to buy any. And many of the people who need a healthy diet are living in food deserts—especially in the poor neighborhoods of the inner cities. Fresh produce of any kind is almost impossible to find. It’s not only our food production that needs to be overhauled, food distribution and availability needs to be addressed. Crime is one reason poor neighborhoods suffer from food insecurity.
Sorry I don't buy that. Food deserts is a term the left loves to trot out to push some planned economy BS. I spent 5 years out of college working for Aldi and saw first hand the choices made by many food stamp customers. Cases of soda, frozen dinners and bags of snacks. If they ran short, the first thing they took out was fresh produce. Not all mind you, but enough that it was striking. Food stamps used to come out en masse first of the month, and when we placed orders for first of the month, we cut back on perishables and added extra junky stuff to the order, 2-3 generations shopping together. I 'get' that some neighborhoods it is not an easy jaunt to a decent grocery store. But I also 'get' that priorities need an adjustment. If there is a will there is a way and the sooner we stop making excuses for poor behavior the sooner we can get to solutions. My friend called me in 2020 when they were doing the USDA Farmers to Families Food Box Program - her son was volunteering with the distribution and said they had pallets of boxes of fresh produce for free and people didn't want them, asked us if we wanted one.
And the yield of organic farms is about 80% compared to conventional agriculture, and thus, prices are higher. We are taking farmland out of production in many areas at a rapid clip, and thus the question of feeding the growing population + lower yields + less acres in production has to be solved before we say we have to go 100% organic.
I ran into something similar awhile back at Trader Joe's. The lady in front of me didn't have enough $$ to buy her groceries. I *almost* paid for them myself, until I saw what she was putting back. It was all the one ingredient fresh food - fruits and veggies. How someone could choose a bag of chips over a beautifully ripe fresh pineapple, I will never know. To say the least, it was disheartening. In her defense, perhaps she had a perfectly good reason - but I didn't bother to ask, or to pay.
Wow, so much more to consider Donna. Thanks, for sharing your first hand experience. Your insight helps peel back those layers that need attention. We need to listen to people like yourself who exist on the front lines and less to experts who haven’t a clue about practical living but decide where the taxpayer money goes. They care nothing about the outcome of their decisions. I agree with everything you said.
It is complicated. Seems like an 'easy button' would be to transform food stamps into something like WIC, where choices are limited to certain options, like healthier choices. Teach people how to cook. There is a transitional housing program in our town that gives homeless families 3-6 months of free housing. In exchange, they are required to work, save, and attend 'boot camp' classes on everything from budgeting, cooking from scratch, parenting, etc. No alcohol or drugs allowed. 95% of those who graduate are still self sufficient 3 years later. And yet HUD has gutted funds for transitional housing programs in favor of 'housing first' programs, that do not require any lifestyle changes., This includes when Ben Carson was there. Disappointing that he did not fix this when he was there. But don't really think this was the best fit for his skillset. Bottom line for me is that social programs are really NOT about helping people, they just keep them dependent on the system, and thus voting for those who promise free stuff and excuses.
I agree 100% with everything you say. We went from mom & pop corner grocery stores in the 60s and 70s, as well as farm markets in cities where fresh food was abundant, to the large corporate supermarkets who utilize slick marketing to confuse consumers. My father in law was a huckster with a route serving these small grocery stores in the inner cities. I saw first hand what happened to them in the late 70s and early 80s. There are multiple reasons why people are making poor food choices. Education being one. I’ve seen the success of properly administrated EFNEP/Nutrition Links programs that teach low income families how to create healthy meals using the foods available with food stamps. The women who went through these programs were saving money and preparing healthy meals for their families when follow up was done 1 to 2 years later. These programs actively recruited women from the program graduates to become nutrition education advisors (NEAs) and return to their communities to continue nutrition education. There are no home economics program in the schools anymore, so teaching people how to buy, store, and utilize produce is crucial to the success of programs like the Farmers to Families program. In PA the Dept. of Agriculture has a Farm Market Voucher program that farms can participate in that targets low income families and seniors. Cooperative Extension’s nutrition educators would set up cooking demonstrations to help customers get the most out of their purchases by teaching purchasing, storing, and cooking tips, as well as safe food handling. The Master Gardener volunteers have a Seed-to-Supper program in coordination with food pantries, community centers, and churches to teach people how to grow, harvest, and prepare fresh food. There is a lot of emphasis on how to grow produce in limited spaces using container gardening. The interest in these programs exceeds the availability of volunteers and funding. I’ve seen the same things happening with the community garden organizations in Philly. These groups are doing amazing work, but again, the need far exceeds the availability of volunteers and funding.
As for the left trotting out a food desert myth, they probably wish the supermarkets and other stores hadn’t fled Philly due to increased crime and violence because there’s a burgeoning Republican movement in the city. I never thought I would ever see a large diverse group of people standing on street corners in downtown Philadelphia waving Trump flags and wearing MAGA hats, but here we are.
There will always be a segment of the population who will consistently and enthusiastically make poor choices no matter what we do. I’d like to reduce that number of people by funding programs that encourage self sufficiency and independence. Unfortunately, our governor is too busy signing bombs and eyeing a place on the national political stage to worry about food production. Unless of course there’s some Amish farmer selling raw milk. Then the troops are called in to raid and shut them down.
But again, you are correct. There are so many things needing to be addressed it’s hard to prioritize them.
During Covid when the shelves were empty of even produce the one thing left was kale. I found that hysterical.
Yeah, I would leave the kale behind too!
These are all good points, NormaJeanne. I know I've had to recently adjust my ever-increasing food expenditure budget and while we can swing it, I know not everyone has that luxury. This problem won't be solved quickly or simply and is going to take a complete paradigm shift.
Good point. I live in a rural area of SD. There is no option for organic fruit and vegetables. I rely on the local farmer’s market in the summer (which is now over) and have to drive an hour, one way, to the nearest city of any size to obtain healthier options. In the winter, the roads are hazardous.
Lots of people don’t even know how to cook cheaply and relatively healthily. They also never learned how to feed themselves on a budget. People used to be able to make do with very little because they knew how to stretch their dollars and they often could keep chickens and grow some of their own food. Even if you don’t buy organic, not using processed pre-prepared foods goes a long way to being healthier. Government programs that are supposed to “help” poor people exacerbate these issues rather than helping to mitigate them by making horrible unhealthy foods more accessible than healthy ones 😕
So very many people don't cook at all. My mother grew up on a farm, and she knew how to cook and was always very healthy conscious. I learned from her. Also, when I was in junior high school we had a cooking class, also sewing, and since then I never thought to NOT cook our food from scratch. I don't think cooking is taught any more. These days people don't seem to know anything about food, or how bad processed and packaged foods really are. It's sad to see. They are generally nutritional illiterates.
Organic food is helpful but for most folks isn't required.
And the regular processed stuff would be just as expensive if the veg oils (corn and soy) weren't subsidized by us taxpayers via USDA money to farmers, which of course also incentivizes them to grow more of those crops. Conventional pork would be more expensive if the pig feed (corn and soy) wasn't subsidized.
So the organic stuff isn't necessarily "made" to be expensive (although the certifications are costly if you demand "proof" of organic farming). The other stuff is made to appear cheap.
One question to ask is why...why are organics more expensive and then ask why are walmart foods so cheap?
The processed foods are subsidized. Or least the corn and soy used to make them are susbsidized by taxpayers via USDA money to farmers.
Even conventional produce is often although not always more expensive than junk food.
Organic isn't necessarily required, except for some folks. It's more expensive because yield per acre may be less, it can be more labor intensive at times, and the certification process is costly.
🎯🎯🎯
Spot on. People have lost (or never had) their sense of discipline. I know some things aren’t people’s fault but there are many cases of people just preferring the “easy” way, that doesn’t require any more effort on their part than taking a pill every day or an occasional injection at the doctor’s office. Even people who have the deck stacked against them can do a lot when they put their minds to it, I have seen countless examples. Imo discipline is a lost virtue, it’s something we as a culture need to instill more of when raising our children. It always pays off in the future.
I’m also tired of people blaming everyone but themselves for their choices and the consequences of those choices. I have been saying lately (only half jokingly) that we need a new party, the “Responsibility Party” for people to be accountable for their own life choices. Yes people can and do mess up. What you do at that point is not wallow in self pity and excuses, blaming everyone else, but pick yourself up and try again. People have lots of power when they want to use it but it’s easier to blame and whine.
Running logic you are right on target. .🎯 I absolutely love the responsible party. People don’t want to do anything that is hard work. Staying healthy is hard work. Choosing the right food can be challenging, but it is absolutely necessary. My coworkers find it hard to believe that I’m going to be 70 in a few months. I exercise and I eat healthy. Does that mean I don’t sometimes deviate from the best choices, of course not. But people have to be proactive in their health. We only get one body.😵💫
I agree. And I also believe in “treats” sometimes, it’s ok not to eat “healthy” 100% of the time. You still need to enjoy food, and life. And lots of treats aren’t even that unhealthy if you make them yourself or get them from a place that uses quality ingredients. Everything in moderation is my motto.
Amen! Preach it!!
Donna, yes, no one is forcing them to buy those junk products, but a side effect of eating them makes people fat AND lazy. They just want to eat the easiest, most convenient thing they can find. Cooking takes planning, effort and energy. And what most call cooking means buying pre-made casseroles and desserts and sticking them in the oven. Or assembling you own casserole from several canned, processed foods. I get sick when I see people posting these “so-called” great recipes. Throw in another bag of Great Value frozen GMO corn for extra yumminess! 🙄
Corn, one of the most yummy veggies on the planet, is now nothing but poison. High-fructose corn syrup may as well be labeled "rat poison" and it's a chemical our bodies don't recognize and can't metabolize, and it's in everything, and often listed within the first three ingredients.
I have to confess that I do eat organic blue corn tortilla chips. 🤭
I saw the Kelce brothers are pushing cereals. That makes me angry and sad.
Wasn't Travis pushing the shots, too? Cuz don't know how he'd make ends meet if he didn't have a side hustle.
Yes, the combo shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZugF3Iabo Lost respect for him when he was a drunken buffoon at the first Super Bowl parade.
He was. F..er, compromising young peoples’ health for money. Shame.
Follow the money! They could just as easily promote a balanced diet, but there’s no dollars attached to that.
Just like the idiot Kelce brother pushing the covid DeathVax.
No souls. Only $$$$
Celebs are often used to push products, even medical products. Mahomes was featured on the Wheaties box a few years ago.
Wheaties always tries to put superior athletes on their boxes. In the ‘70’s I worked for Kellogg- who had a lions share of the market at that time. In my weekly report I would tell them the market was shifting and they should look to healthier products. Silly me, that didn’t age well. During the time I was there Bruce Jenner won the decathlon and everyone loved Bruce. And he graced the cover of the Wheaties box. The feds investigated this as false advertising and wanted to bring suit against General Mills for false advertising. Turns out Bruce really did eat Wheaties during his training. Your tax dollars at work.
I remember Jenner on the Wheaties box.
Kellogs was started by a guy who was Seventh Day Adventist. SDA teaches that meat and animal products cause people to sin, this we should be vegetarians.
I don't particularly care what a person believes, until he pushes that as a "healthier" option while in reality his beliefs are driving his propaganda. I say propaganda because vegetarianism is actually not necessarily healthy and many folks who could be relieved of their obesity and diabetes are not because they think meat and animal fats are harmful.
There was actually a catalog item where you could get yourself on a Wheaties box. Our son never actually ate Wheaties but he thought it was cool so ordered one with a pic of him crossing the finish line when he was running cross country and it hung in his bedroom for years.
Do you all remember how many celebrities made commercials and continue to make commercials for the COVID vaccines? 🤨 Even way back with the Andy Griffith show they pushed the Tetanus shots and they used the fear to push it.
Athletes have always pushed cereals, it seems. Remember the Wheaties boxes?
But WELL fare. 😡
There is absolute truth in your message, but it’s also helpful to know that we are being manipulated. Farmed, really. Remember the tobacco lawsuits from the’90s? The tobacco companies just went on to junk food. Read Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss. Our serfdom gets a big start at the grocery store and ends in hospitals (for the lucky ones) and nursing homes (for the unfortunates). Forewarned is forearmed.
Hallelujah Donna!! You said it perfectly
...or take crazy classes in college that turn your brain to mush.
Let us also not forget that in cities with food deserts, as in St. Louis, MO, the prosecuting attorney, Kim Gardner, (St. Louis is not the only city operating in this way) would not prosecute crime. Temp tags that expired in 2021, no license plates, no insurance, and treating stoplights and stop signs as optional. I will say that the Aldi I went to while visiting there did NOT have self checkouts. There is so much theft, I don't know how these grocery stores stay in business. If law enforcement could enforce the laws already on the books, perhaps these cities would experience some relief.
I worked for Aldi in the early 90's - a long time ago now, but towards the end of my time there, they closed a couple of the inner city stores, they weren't profitable. I worked primarily in the burbs, and then when I became a regional mgr, my territory was mostly rural. But spent a few months in one of the inner city stores. It was trashed almost daily around the 1st of the month. People discarding perishable items in the canned good aisle, someone breaking a jar of jelly or dropping a carton of eggs and then people just running their carts over the mess, not telling anyone a cleanup was needed, thefts, and so on. Ended up re-opening inner city locations when local pols started accusing them of racism when the 'food desert' term entered the lexicon in the early 2000's. No idea if they are now profitable, or whether their existence is written off as a cost of doing business.
And yes, KC is similar. Down 300 police officers, morale is in the tank as too many criminals are not prosecuted, crime is oozing out into the burbs and yes, temp tags are forever.
Betsy, my sister just texted me that we lost 2 childhood friends this week....one died in her sleep and they don't know why (of course they don't!) and they other with sudden onset brain cancer! She has no clue shots may be causing harm!
Willful blindness?
Well her daughter (my niece) has tried to enlighten her but my sister tells her she's crazy. I say nothing because I don't trust her husband..
Oh wow 😞 So sad 😢
Very sad and I'm hearing things like this as well.
Betsy Frost- You literally hit the nail on the head! As a nation a great percentage of us are just too lazy or too distracted by unimportant issues to focus on our health and fitness! I am constantly researching about food additives, healthy natural foods, exercising for people over 60- and I know a lot and agree whole-heartedly with MAHA- and yet I have yet to live the truth reflected in the healthy lifestyle that I know is best for me and my family! We not only need to live MAHA, we need to LEAD MAHA. I DID REFUSE THE COVID VACCINE AND FLU VACCINE for my family, and we have not had the repeated episodes of either illness. I had the flu 60 years when I was 12 and never had it again. My kids had the flu once. Each of us had covid twice since 2020 and they were mild episodes- completely well in 5 days following the FLCCC.NET Protocols! Hooray for ivermectin and immune building vitamins!
Yes! I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and this is exactly what I see. There is plenty of blame to place on our institutions for this mess, but we also have to look in the mirror. People have blindly accepted pharmaceuticals, surgeries, and multiple doctor’s appointments for every little ailment. And you are correct, many don’t want anything different. They want an easy fix. It is very sad to watch. They want their drugs. All of them. I have tried to gently point them in different directions and they will defend all their drugs and try rationalize why they “need” them, or think I’m crazy. I just try to plant little seeds and hope it eventually clicks one day. Our lives don’t have to be this way, revolving around modern healthcare . It truly is shocking how so many people live in the Hell that is our modern healthcare.
There are people who think drugs can fix any and everything, just take a pill for it. Look at Ozempic for weight loss...why don't the doctors teach their overweight patients about nutrition and how to eat in order to lose weight instead of having them take drugs? But people want a quick fix and not have to change anything.
🥺
That is very true. There are many people who will choose a pill or a shot to lose weight instead of actually dieting and exercising daily.
I'm really into holistic health. Had a family member come visit last month. She is overweight. She asked me if there was any pill over the counter she could take to help her lose weight. I told her she could take berberine which would help her glucose levels, but she needed to fix her diet. She eats constantly and it's all processed foods, never drinks water, always cokes. I told her she needed to cut all that out. She didn't want to hear that. People are lazy and too comfortable. They want an easy fix and still be able to live the lifestyle they always have. She is younger than me and already had a stent put in and also had a stroke. And she's not jabbed.
I think more than lazy, they are addicted. Addictions are hard to break. The fact that (as RFK Jr. points out) food companies have (former tobacco) scientists in labs creating additives which will make the food addictive is the key to the whole mess. It's possible to change and get healthy, but first people have to connect the dots: understand they are addicted and that their health issues are the result.
Addiction is not a disease. It’s a series of choices.
Choices lead to addictions, and also get us out of them. My point is that it helps to understand that your diet is filled with addictive substances. It's not about abdicating responsibility but gaining empowering knowledge that can help support better, conscious choices.
I spoke with a retired friend who worked as a nurse in mental hospitals. She said she never treated people who were addicted as victims. She said that if they never understood that where they were was the result of life choices, they would never change. Until they take responsibility for their actions, no change will ever occur.
🎯 ⬆️ 💯 ‼️
Your right Leah Rose, the processed food, is full of addicting additives. And people just don’t wanna work hard to get unaddicted. It’s a shame. Sugar is as equally addictive as crack for some people.😢
Being someone who no longer eats sugar because I became addicted, I can vouch for your statement.
I fully understand the addiction. But if you want to do something bad enough, you find a way to do it, addiction or not. And if you refuse to even consider it, I just don't know. It's sad.
The addiction associated with food is a little different than the addictions associated with alcohol or drugs or nicotine. We NEED to eat food but we can live our whole life without consuming the latter substances. I certainly was not aware of how addictive sugar is for most people. Similarly, I had no idea they genetically modify fruit varieties to be sweeter and therefore, more addictive. This isn't simply a matter of "well just stop eating what's bad for you." People need to be educated that it is even happening and then given alternatives. Some will make changes and some won't. Tale as old as time.
I miss the old pineapples that were actually tart. Now they are just sweet syrup. When they have any flavor at all. Organic Maui Jet Fresh used to be good, but it was too expensive for them to continue bringing over to mainland.
It's like the honeycrisp apple. I call it the ignorant person's apple (sorry if you like them). There are soooooo many better apples out there, but people are afraid of complex flavors now, it seems. Has to be 100% sweet and only sweet. Or the tart can't be too assertive, or peeps freak out.
I sold apples wholesale and at farmer's markets for years. At the FM, I always tried to educate my custy's about each apple variety, why we didn't sell the "club" apples (the one's you have to pay a fee to grow, like Opal (TM) etc.). What always got me was people asking for honeycrisp, which we had but only for 2 weeks at a time, and when I would suggest something similar (crunchy, juicy, sweet-tart, and no WAY does it bruise as easily as a honeycrisp) they just could not experiment. Not even for one. They would rather go to a store and buy offshore product or WA out of controlled atmosphere, all of it disintegrating by the minute.
SMH
Education is key, but a little curiosity would help too.
Michele, what's your favorite apple?
Perfect.
Have you noticed that all the weight loss programs (Noom, Weight Watchers, etc) are all prescribing weight loss meds?
I wasn’t aware of that. Wow. Just crazy. And sad.
What a shame! She’s being drugged with that food, in the past year I’ve done a serious redo with my food…slowly but surely I’ve lost 20lbs, I haven’t started a work out plan yet but that’s step two. Figure if I can lose another 20 this year I’ll be where I want to be on the scale. It’s reducing one thing at a time, IMHO, drastic measures only work 5% of the time, I finally feel like I get it! AND NO shots in my stomach!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
It’s 80% diet, 20% exercise. You have your priorities straight. You can’t outrun a bad diet and you’ll see faster, better results from your exercise by fueling your body the right way.
Getting a dog will motivate you to get out and walk every day 😊 That’s all your body needs to have a healthy heart. Add some weights 3 days a week and you’ll have healthy bones too.
Gigi - do you mind sharing some of the modifications you've undertaken?
For one thing I don’t drink pop, I may have some diet lemonade but otherwise just water and tea. I do a bit of fasting, not every day but probably 4-5 days a week I don’t eat breakfast. I don’t (if I can) eat after 6:00, only drink water. Snacking is hard for me, I love crunchy 🤦🏻♀️ so I substituted crackers/cheese etc with pistachios. I’ve just recently given those up and replaced with veggies. Frankly, it’s just pulling out or changing a bad food habit and adding a better one. What can you substitute that’s healthy for something you love. One big one, last week, I gave up coffee (with cream 😭) it’s not been easy but I do feel better and now drinking tea in the morning.
Thank you! I really like crunchy snacks too - good suggestion regarding veggies. Did you give up coffee because of the cream? Do you not like unadulterated coffee? I'm not a huge coffee drinker and much prefer tea, but that is the one time I do add some sugar.
EDIT: just saw your response to Robin. I drink one cup of 1/3 caffeinated coffee in the morning and then one cup of tea in the afternoon (it's a ritual with my husband - we sit down for a cuppa and talk about our day on our back deck weather permitting).
As far as giving up the coffee with cream, I saw on Shark Tank that a woman who gave up coffee came up with a non coffee coffee made with chicory and carob. It's called SIPS. The panel all liked the drink but no one invested. I'm thinking of giving it a try as it would be better for me than coffee.
Teechino is made with chicory; you can buy it in a bag to brew like tea. I buy the one with dandelion, which has its own health benefits. Just know that chicory is a prebiotic fiber so a lot of people tolerate it only in moderate amounts. https://a.co/d/753kajb
Thanks I’ll check it out…honestly the withdrawal from the caffeine is the hardest. I was a 3 cup a morning (espresso) drinker. Not small cups either. My body was telling me it’s time to stop…🤷🏻♀️
I make brewed green tea, then over ice in a pitcher. It keeps my husband away from soda. And good for men anyway.
Love this--haha I am pulling my carrots and celery out of my lunch bag now! Gotta have the crunch!
So true. Sadly, our daughter always looked to pills to fix everything instead of changing her lifestyle. The bartender at a restaurant told us she had a hip replacement and in the next month , will have both knees replaced. She's 47. Lifestyle people. Diet. Cancer in a can, fried everything, fast food, and processed food will destroy your body. None of it is food.
😔😑 So sad to hear.
Coke? Diet? How many skinny ppl drink diet drinks? Maybe I don't pay attention unless they are obese. I've been obese most of my life. Educated by an upside down pyramid built by GOV acronyms and payouts.
The food pyramid and then the stupid, "healthy plate," did so much damage. Anecdotally, I gave up drinking my afternoon can of Coke one year for Lent and in 6 weeks, making absolutely no other change in my diet or exercise habits, had dropped 7 pounds. It was crazy.
Got a goofier one for you, 21 years ago, I built our stone house, with help of course . Each day at lunch, the stone mason and I would go into town for fast food. I got a Burger King Angus burger and a small fry. Drank water. Gave half the fries to my 2 dogs. In 2 weeks , I put on 5 pounds. I switched to a bowl of ice cream at lunch. In a week, I dropped the 5 pounds.
Just crazy!
One winter in upstate NY - probably about 20 years ago now - my FIL was having to shovel his driveway on an almost daily basis. Well, by the time winter was over, he had dropped 10 pounds. Again. No other dietary changes, just a daily dose of physical activity. It made an impression on me. Same thing happened when he took on building a retaining wall in his yard.
The Lent I gave up drinking Coke was probably 20 years ago now and I can't even take a swallow of the stuff now. Once you lose the taste - it's gone.
Yup. Same with sugar in coffee. We drink Zero sodas. And don't add ice to anything. Should have mentioned that in the protocols.
Wow 😮
I don’t lose weight unless I also lose my recurring soda addiction (honestly, I will have one after several weeks without and it tastes like the chemicals it’s filled with….but I push through and finish it anyhow!!! So stupid of me, it’s embarrassing! But I can be stronger than this damn addiction….had soda on a long drive yesterday to stay awake, but not having it again on the drive home!! I might force some coffee down my throat and learn to like that somehow but soda has to be off the table!)
I love your self-deprecating humility. You can do this!! :)
How long did they laugh at Atkins? He was telling everyone in the 80's to stop the carbs. He lived into his 80's and till his dying day the media ridiculed him. But he knew the problem was the American diet.
I believe one of the worst addictions in America are “diet” drinks. I used to work with a guy who was obese and he was constantly drinking a diet Dr. Pepper. He had twelve or more every day. I really wanted to tell him that they weren’t working. The chemical additives in those drinks are highly addictive and destructive to your metabolism. It’s sad that the health of so many has been ruined by lies.
I've never understood how anyone could drink multiple sodas a day....diet or otherwise.
YES! Not enough people know this about diet drinks.
I’m starting a group FOR FREE on Substack and X November 1. We’re going to dive into the nitty gritty how to fix your food problems for life This is for any budget, and any stage of life. I’ve healed so many diagnoses and the beginning of all healing is, let your food be your medicine.
Do you have links to your Substack and X yet?
You might have lipedema which makes losing weight in hips and thighs almost impossible.
Start them off with one change they can hold that has a positive impact they can see or feel.
That leads to motivation to look for the next sustainable change.
"A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.". Somebody smart said that once, probably a little different and a long time ago. Wise.
Exercise helps, even just walking. Daughter can't stand to "just walk," so she took up pickleball after years of tennis. Easier to find people to play 3+ times a week.
She pestered me to play several times a week, which told me she was serious about the change. That lead to us playing 2-3 times a week. Mostly try to play when she can't find anyone else so she doesn't HAVE to suffer through walking. But she will walk or play every single day now.
Huge change, lost 20 lbs the first month, now looking for the next thing she can improve. She was finally ready.
One step forward that you can sustain leads to another...
Sorry for the spam...
I have 3 ppl in my close circle that started looking for a way to improve health when a med test result showed concern the second time. First time ignored, second got their attention. I've talked for years about friends that got healthier with diet and exercise changes.
One got the pre diabetic scare. Walked 5 miles 2X per week like she was training for the Olympics. Now she runs 3X per week and competes in 10K races. She won her age bracket recently for the first time. Loves running, can't stand tennis or pickleball. Counts carbs bc that was he main food obsession.
And now has much improved blood pressure. And not remotely close to pre diabetic.
Another one... went to doc with extreme blood pressure, doc says go to ER, he refuses (no insurance). Decided to start walking an hour a day. Half mile first time. A year later, he's up to four miles a day, always in the South Texas heat and humidity. He says he's paying the price for his ignorance. Down 50 lbs to a healthy weight, looks great. Now eating better with a similar step by sustainable step approach to improve.
Anyone motivated can do it, one step at a time.
Incredible.
That's a great and inspiring anecdote. May her success continue!
Fat encapsulates poisons in your system that would be damaging if they entered your bloodstream. Get rid of the toxins and the fat just disappears. This also applies to medications. Many ailments that people are taking prescriptions for can be remedied with natural protocols. Drugs disrupt body processes.
Maybe if she was paying a nutritionist, she might behave better. It’s the same reason people hire a personal trainer even when they know how to exercise themselves.
Most everyone I know is Covid/Vax brainwashed. They implicitly trust their doctors and when the booster doesn’t work, they honestly believe “it could have been so much worse if I had not taken the booster.” It’s maddening! When I suggest the booster is not safe and ineffective, I get the silent treatment.
Again, to quote a former HR friend. "life is hard on stupid people".
Saw this funny quote on a meme: " When you're dead, you don't know you're dead, the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid."
Dumbing down with fluoride in the water doesn't help!
Our biological dentist immigrated from Iran when she was 19. she noticed a lot of people weren't as smart as she thought they would be. When she found we fluoridated the water, she said "ah hah".
Indeed....ignorant people are hard on sane people as well
I guess the best you can do would be to lead them to or print out the Cleveland clinic study of its own 51,000 employees which found that the more booster someone had, the more often they got Covid. The group with the least Covid was the unvaccinated.
I actually shared that study with my naturopath two years ago. She had NO idea 🤦♀️
They just repeat what they have been told. It's truly cult like and very frightening.
I think many of us do, to one extent or another. The thing is to choose the right voices to repeat.
I just laugh when they use that line and tell them there's NO WAY to design a scientific trial to prove or disprove that statement, not unless you used Mengele-like tactics with twins and deliberate, identical infection after having "boosted" only one twin.
I just get the blank stare as a result.
People want pills and easy fixes for their bad health habits. Big pharma doesn’t really have to push very hard to sell their drugs. They can’t produce some of them fast enough 😂
Just give them their pills and jabs and send them on their way to chronic disease, depression and nutrient deficiencies.
And I know many people have Doctor worship. I’ll never understand that. I’ve seen good ones and bad ones, and very few who have moral courage.
Studies have shown sheep actually connote a lab coat with smarts and defer to them. Impressive (stupid as eff). isn't it. But then again, shallow is a hallmark of the smart phone droids.
Ozempic !! 😳
Yes, another slow-kill weapon that is marketed as an
“eat what you want, no need to exercise“ solution. My male coworker who is diabetic was prescribed Ozempic to fix all his problems. He ended up hospitalized with severe intestinal inflammation, antibiotic resistant infections and other complications.
BIL got covid for the third time last week. Said it was so bad even his eyeballs hurt. Jabbed twice and boostered at least once. On Paxlovid. The first time he got it was August of 21, shortly after his first two jabs. Next time was in the winter of 22. He waited to go to his winter place in FL until he could get a booster. I want to literally scream at him, what do you not get.
So many acquaintances go on social media complaining about getting covid for the third and fourth times after being jabbed and boostered, each time sicker, and commiserating about Paxlovid like it’s some secret club they are in.
One of the drugs in Paxlovid has a FDA black box warning on it.
Your doctor won't tell you.
Yes, you are not supposed to take it if you have heart issues, but doctors do not read the warnings and neither do the pharmacists. We had an elderly friend with a heart condition who got COVID last year and his doctor put him on Paxlovid. We warned him not to take it. He took it for a day and then stopped.
Paxlovid didn't perform as well as placebo...
🫣
A friend told me a co worker's father was given Paxlovid right after it came out. Can't remember what he went to the Big Pharma sales rep (that's a doctor, to sheep) for, but he was given a covid test first, which of course came out positive.
He died the next day. Coincidence I'm sure.
Ohhh that just makes me sick. I'm so sorry to hear this. Both of my younger siblings now have bad cases of glaucoma from the jab
Some years ago I had a website about taking charge of your health in the face of cancer. I naively thought that cancer would be enough of a wakeup call that people would choose to live a more conscious and informed life. I was wrong. Even in the face of cancer, I guestimate that no more than 10-15% of people make any significant changes to their lives. Go figure.
I had lymphoma 23 years ago, went the chemo/radiation route (had two kids, and didn't know any better at the time). I was shocked at how much junk food was eaten in the chemo room (sometimes we were there for 8 hours). A candy dish at the reception desk. Not one word about nutrition from the doctors or nurses, and I was chewed out for taking vitamins. Apparently taking care of your body means helping the cancer. SMH.
When my wife talked to the surgeon after her initial diagnosis, and scheduled a mastectomy (later canceled) he never asked anything about our lifestyle, nor mentioned nutrition. Slash, burn, poison. All they know, all they are allowed to do.
Sadly, that's true. How long ago was this, and how is your wife?
She is fine. Went completely holistic to cure it, diet and lifestyle change. No pain ever. Smaller (dead) tumor is still there, and the breast shrunken and a bit deformed, but the cancer is gone. She feels great, exercises 3X week with me, and lives a normal (new lifestyle) life. July 23 2021 was the date she found out.
Thank you for sharing this!! I cannot hear enough stories about healing cancer naturally, especially given how poorly I treated my body in the past….if your wife can heal cancer naturally, virtually any ailment can be healed naturally (I have none and with changes I made, should just get healthier….but love the reminders from people like you and your wife that this is the way we are meant to live)
I am so glad to hear that! I wish you both all the best.
😳😳😳
Pretty much my experience. And here these brain dead droids are taking to a 4 leaf clover guy, someone who has actually cured cancer naturally with no oncologist involved, and still they aren't curious. It boggles my mind.
Most people implicitly trust the medical industry (doctors/hospitals). That's what made the COVID plandemic so easy.
I knew a couple, wonderful people, but brainwashed. They couldn’t wait for the Jab to come out. I mentioned to them that it was experimental and that maybe they should wait to see if it’s safe. They did not listen and got the jabs as soon as they were available. Within months the wife was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. After a year of chemo/radiation it went into remission. Then the husband was diagnosed with throat cancer. He died two years ago of multiple organ failure cause by the cancer and the cancer treatments. She died three weeks ago of triple negative breast cancer.
I miss them terribly.
I know many other vaxxed individuals who have died or who are now experiencing severe health problems since the vaxx.
When will people wake up and realize what has been done to us? When will the criminal perpetrators be held accountable?
The dead can't be awakened.
Those still alive are hopelessly indoctrinated.
I don't associate with the nearly dead or those who cannot think for themselves and merely repeat "headline news" lines as though they wrote them.
"5% of the people think ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think."‐‐ Thomas Edison
Prions in the brain from the covid DeathVax.
Who’s weird? I know many people with similar thoughts. They aren’t thinking or aren’t capable of thinking
They have the trust part, but no verify.
Has anyone else noticed an uptick with pacemaker implants? Three folks in my circle, all vaxxed just recently received one.
All I got to say is.... LOL
To a point crying for them becomes wasted energy.
Sickening

This is just a reminder:
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/2ch.7.14.NKJV
We need to pray and repent for our country in this dark hour.
Amen. On Sunday Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills announced 21 days of prayer and fasting for our nation.
His sermon was excellent... And yet so many people do not want to accept the Truth!
What a good spiritual father!
I was meditating and praying this very verse this weekend! Thanks, Ed.
Best reminder ever, Ed. Experts can stay stumped, baffled, and Octoberly surprised, but we know exactly what to do. “Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15).
The best (cringiest) part of the LA Times piece you reference--which did NOT in fact detail how Kennedy wouldn't MAHA, incidentally--is this:
Would Vice President Kamala Harris make America healthier? Her record suggests so. In a rare move, Scientific American endorsed Harris, citing her support for expanding healthcare access (which, studies show, improves people’s long-term health), capping prices on life-preserving prescription drugs such as insulin and acting to diminish the deadly harms of guns and climate change.
EDITOR: There's a bonus in it for 'ya if you can squeeze climate change into the piece.
REPORTER: Hold my beer.
But no one stops to ask why there are so many with diabetes or why so many need life saving drugs. Last time I checked, guns were not on the top of the list for what kills us. Cancer and heart disease always are tho, hmmm...
And medical care. I believe that's a big killer too.
#3. #1 if you include cancer, and you should.
Cancer seldom kills people. What kills them are the usual treatments, and/or the underlying causes that created the cancer. This is a huge myth. Cancer is not, should not, be a death sentence, It should be a massive wake up call to change your lifestyle. Chose not to? I suggest you pick out your tombstone.
Acid bodies get cancer!
And guns in the same sentence!
Pharmaceuticals for life…I would hardly equate that with positive health outcomes Geesh…
Kackela talks about health care like Blankenship talks about how the demise of DEI “could spell disaster.” Returning to normalcy WILL spell disaster for Kackela, biostitutes, Blankenship, racists, and child molesters. How refreshing will it be when America “turns back” from the path to destruction? Get ‘er done, prayer warriors. We’re an unstoppable force. “If God is for us, who can stand against us?” (Romans 8:31).
My goodness they are getting a lot of mileage out of the insulin pricing scheme. Here's an idea, Kamala, how about we figure out why SO MANY PEOPLE NEED IT NOW??
We don’t need to figure it out, we already know what causes it—the food people are eating.
We've figured it out, NTK, but apparently those in public health haven't.
And this is how stupid doctors are. The majority of diabetics are type 2 and the worst thing they can do is take insulin. They already are producing too much. They are resistant to the insulin helping glucose get into their cells. Hence too much insulin floating around in the body. Only type 1 diabetics need insulin.
Seriously!! But it’s the standard of care, so shame on you for questioning it LOL!
So ridiculous. Better access to healthcare and pharmaceuticals doesn’t make people healthier. 🤦🏻♀️
😂😂 ah yes, increase access to healthcare! Every third building being built in our city is medical, behind apartments and self-storage. But no access!!
I noticed that too.
🙄🙄
🙄🙄🙄. Wonder how much they were paid to print it and who in the Kamala campaign wrote the article?
Hey! Ease up on the LA Slimes. . . West Coast Dems have to know what to think as well as East coast Dems!
And all of the other medical societies and boards. American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of OB/Gyns, American College of Physicians, and the rest.
You should know that less than 50% of physicians (I think) hold membership in AMA.
And probably 90% of the medical establishment are Democrats from what I've seen and heard.
Don't forget dentists and veterinarians.
They are bought and paid for. Same as the American Psychology Association.
As I have said repeatedly, the ENTIRE medical establishment has been captured by the Rockefeller's. For a century. The med schools, the charities, the regulatory agencies, the politicians, the media, the doctors. Want an exception? If it is sanctioned and recognized but the government, the MSM, and the agencies, There Are No Exceptions.
Maddening actually
AMA is Rockefeller....along with big pharma, big oil, big everything wanting you dead

Behold, the hand of Yahweh is not so short
That it cannot save;
Nor is His ear so dull
That it cannot hear.

Thanks, Janice.
Today is the feast day of St Theresa of Avila. I love this quote from her writings.
“Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices."
2 Corinthians 12: 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Also beautiful! So much goodness in Sacred Scripture.
Thank you for this post . . . When I am feeling so very weak!
Prayers that God will strengthen you in your weakness.
Thank you!
Malachi 3:16-18 (ESV)
“Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name. “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.”
Beautiful!
Good morning my fellow friends and C&C fans.
We are so blessed to have Ron DeSantis as our governor and his whole team working hard for US.
It feels like the State is up and running faster than anyone could ever imagine.
Praise GOD for His wisdom and providing US with this real democratic government.
Amen!!! Governor DeSantis shows how it’s done. Too bad more governors don’t follow suit. Mine included (Alabama). We missed our chance at having a governor like DeSantis; the state Deep State made sure of that.
Time to change that
I thank the Lord God for the Great Governor! What a leader and Godly man. not perfect, but he's the best of the best.
My go to quote from now until Election Day for my dear confused friends is one from RFK. “ we have to love our children, more than we hate each other.” Thank you, Jeff, for another great masterpiece.
That quote is beautiful
I have learned a lot recently that was hidden from us by our supposedly caring regulators. I truly believed that vaccines were a valuable safeguard for humanity until the Covid scam opened my eyes. Now, the Roundup controversy is coming to light. I didn’t believe how dangerous it could be, I just didn’t use it in my backyard because the dogs ate grass and I thought ingesting it might be harmful. Wow, was I wrong!
RFK Jr. is a man of principle, unfortunately a bit liberal for my tastes, but he may have been right about vaccines and chemicals in food all along. He will truly Make America Healthy Again if given the opportunity.
On RFK Jr., if I ever have a chance to meet him I will sincerely apologize for calling him a clueless curmudgeon for many years. He truly has the potential to do great things for our nation!
On Covid, could it be that the opening of American eyes to the revolving doors among big pharma, big agriculture, and our regulators will ultimately save more people than the jabs killed? I think it’s possible and I sense that God is working behind the scenes.
God works in mysterious ways!
I have awaken to reality much as you have. After reading The Real Anthony Fauci I had a completely different take on Bobby. Just his citations & research alone was impressive. He did poke at Trump at the beginning but I chose to keep reading & glad I did.
Whodda thought they would join forces in 2024?!?!
Forgot about that part of the book with Trump (I too mostly skipped that part in order to read the important parts of the book, aka the rest of it)
I would have like him or Tulsi to be the VP pick. It would have shaped a new party, but there is still hope.
My dog just had a splenectomy - removed a three pound tumor that was found to be malignant (30% of her body weight!!). The cancer vet recommended Chemo and said that might buy her another three to six months. We said no thank you, put her on a homeopathic diet of homemade anti cancer dog food and other supplements. My ten year old Pom is now acting like a puppy again! Just had her blood work run last week (60 days post surgery), and NO SIGNS of cancer. Roundup. That is the only explanation we can find for the cause of her cancer. No more roundup for us…only natural homemade weed killer for this family from now on. And only Holistic Vets…
Hooray for the pooch!
Vinegar + salt + (organic) dish soap.
Or there are some coconut products out there but Gavin New scum just banned them in CA.
OR--bonus: exercise--hand pulling, hand scything!
And great news about your dog!
My Pit, Samson, had 3 incidents of mast cell tumors that were high grade and went through chemo 3 times a few years back. It was quite a difficult time. I then read about an in-vitro study where Turmeric was successful in warding off breast cancer in dogs. I started giving it to him and soon switched to a limited ingredient diet with almost no carbs.
The results are in! He’s had 4 more tumors since but all 4 were low grade. The vet removed them with NO CHEMO NEEDED!
So glad your pooch is cancer-free! Turmeric is one of the many ingredients we use in our homemade anti-cancer dog food recipe ;). Turkey tail, too. IVM in the am and Fenben in the pm. It’s a tedious regime, but so worth it!
Embrace the weeds 😊
His organization: Children' Health Defense has been about vaccines, but also clean air and water. They have been funding many lawsuits to keep the government in check. There's currently a $1 million match through Oct 31
Shotguns work on drones. Just sayin'
🎯 Yess!!! For “17 days… impotently stood by” 🤔🧐🤨
Yeah it’s funny that these “drones” are only in military base airspace where ordinary citizens can’t access to shoot the drones down 🤔
Dress like zuck use a shot gun drone. 🤣
Definitely "UFOs", but the aliens are from a certain country in the east and the little men are yellow not grey or green.
This is so infuriating that we have such incompetence where we can least afford it!
My thoughts exactly.
Unless Walz is the shooter!
Seriously - a military base might have some guns around was my first thought!
Citizen free press linked an archive today copy of the drone story. Archive.is/bDYTD.
It sounded completely like they were human made drones and the military were idiots for obeying stupid laws that didn’t let them shoot down drones.
My first thought was BB guns…that would do it…
Drone shooting is a federal crime though, so pick yr spots....

So “They” maybe using “ War of the Worlds” as the premise for the October surprise? Fits in nicely with Halloween and Stealing Elections.
Remember. The alien card is their last card. After they play that, and it doesn't work to scare everyone into compliance, the Emperor has no cloths.
I hope that is their last card. Otherwise: acceleration of war could be.
I had a similar thought. I was hoping people were more intelligent. Silly me
Have you noticed the majority of humanity lately?
Just listened to the podcast Forbidden History. The episode was on war of the worlds radio show. The underlying factor was that radio was starting to overtake the newspapers and the newspapers blew it out of proportion to try to get dirt on the emergence of radio.
I thought so too.
Fire the Secretary of Veterans Affairs...he is not even a veteran.
Yes! Fire him
Definitely!
Regarding aliens affecting the election. Per Hillary Clinton: ‘What Difference At This Point Does It Make?!’
🤣🤣
I don't think one should be allowed to vote, shed their skin or carapace or whatever, and then vote again. I don't think legislation should be required to prevent this.
I hope I am not alone . . .
Jeff Childers delivers - every day ! Every time !
Thank you Jeff. Having worked at NASA and studied the ET and UFO claims in depth, I can tell your readers that it's the biggest hoax on the planet. Back in the day they got Reagan to talk about an alien invasion bringing us earthlings together. Of course that was fake too.
Here's my latest:

Yes, thanks Richard. These so called “national security” gate keepers retire to their homes after the nightly “drone” show and enjoy a perfectly restful sleep. Barack Obama does the same in his oceanside mansion that should be washed out to sea by now according to the “climate prophets”. Rush Limbaugh used to say something like “don’t listen to them, watch them”. I remember Rush and have a good nights sleep as well.
Thanks for your take on this!
Removing the woke agenda from the Florida university system restores a small bit of faith that I *may* be able to send my daughter off to a university and not have her become indoctrinated. Outside of Hillsdale and liberty I was not sure where I might send her - but Florida might just be the answer! Thanks Governor!
We got non woke kids back from Ole Miss, South Carolina and Alabama. Big southern schools are always a good option.
Not UT Knoxville. Did you see, "What is a Woman?" They are very woke. Even the "Baptist" university Union in Jackson TN is woke.
I saw that, yes. 😫 We are in Knoxville so I’m bummed!
USF’s pre-med classes are still incredibly WOKE…my brother is on the phone daily trying to combat the indoctrination my nephew is exposed to daily…argh! Good thing he’s a strong spirited Christian boy who knows how to hold onto his true North and is not swayed by anyone.Love that kid…his parents did well!!

Good. Trump could totally negotiate with aliens. I hope our October Surprise is aliens. This year is getting weirder by the hour, so I’m not sure we’d know anything short of proof of alien life as an October Surprise.
Great big beautiful aliens…Aliens like you’ve never seen before. No one could do - no one! They tried, but they failed. No…only I [Trump], could get it done. So I got it done, and I’ll get it done again. No one has ever seen alien negotiations Ike that before. They said, “He can’t do it. He’ll never do it.” But I did it While Sleepy Joe slept at the beach and Lyin’ Kamala was busy with her fundraisers, and by the way, even though she’s raised billions, she’s still losing bigly…what a shame. What a disgrace to our nation she is! But while Sleepy Joe slept and Lyin’ Kamala lied, I got it done. And now our nation,and , really the whole world, is safe and sound. Can you believe it? Of course you can, because you’re the smart ones. You’re AWAKE. And THAT’S how we make America Great Again! And now that the aliens are on the Trump Train, they can’t stop us. There’s no stopping us!
Haaaaahahah, that’s perfect! 👌🏻 😹🤩
😇😍🥳😎🇺🇸spot on❣️❣️❣️
He would make sure we have the "best and most beautiful" aliens :)
Yes, but how would he know where to grab them?
I’m with you! And so funny!!
Thanks! 😊
Well, I hope it’s not the aliens from Rod Serling’s ‘How to Serve Man.’ 😜
Eww. I forgot about them. 😬🍽️
