As you all know. I read about health constantly. And I have made drastic changes to what I eat. Eating real organic whole foods has allowed me to reverse my Fibromyalgia and its why I went back to school at 67 to become a Health Coach. The rewards have been huge. Now at 75 , I feel better than I did in my 50s. And children as a major concern of mine. 53% have a chronic illness. The majority of our children have the beginnings of heart disease at age 10. And our adult heath is god awful as well. Its breaking our health care system and a major cause of the depression at all ages in our population. And for the victim attitude that I comment on in the population.
I do NOT always agree with Robert Kennedy Jr’s positions, and will most likely comment with food for thought as new policies roll out.
There are times when he and his organization is part of the big gaslighting just from the opposite side. You are going to need to be aware and do research on your own to ferret out whats real and whats memorex.
And, I beg to differ with him, processed and ultra processed foods are not a partisan issue. This is NOT only on the Dems. The abuses of what Big Food (Big Pharma and Big Ag) have allowed are squarely on both sides shoulders.
When Michele Obama tried to clean up school food for our children, I remember GOP legislators eliminating the program because kids don’t want to eat that food. (IF you have been following me, then you know that that processed and ultra-processed foods are made addictive ON PURPOSE.) STUPID
One of the biggest advocates to change food policy lost his seat in 2022. From Ohio, Rep Tim Ryan, a democrat.
I also am not all in that just taking the CRAP (Carbonated, refined, artificial, processed) ingredients out of processed foods, and eliminating all the toxic ingredients is the solution. This is a multi trillion dollar industry. The impact on our economy will be enormous. And this will take decades. Good to get started, but still this is a long term solution. We can do something else now.
So, yes, be aware. At least in terms of processed foods, someone wants to make it more public. (But look at Trumps diet).
Like the Food Babe protesting at General Mills to remove a couple of toxic ingredients from their food, its a drop in the bucket to how big this problem is. I wish she would focus on convincing all of us to NOT EAT that food. Period.
And what to eat instead? Organic whole foods of every color of the rainbow. We need to start a major movement for awareness of just how important it is to eat from the “farmacy.” Not processed, not ultra-processed, not fast food, real whole foods of all the colors of the rainbow sans all the pesticides and herbicides.
So if you want to be healthy. If you want to raise healthy children, eat real food. And own it yourselves. You are responsible for what you put into your body. YOU are responsible for how you feed and educate your children. Own it.
It will take eons for this to be cleaned up. It takes and begins with awareness. But YOU can do something about this now.
Change. If you don’t change, nothing changes. And beware of gaslighting. Its everywhere from both sides.
Use your common sense, and always vote with caution. Does it make sense to eat poison? Nope. Not the poisons in the food OR sprayed on our foods by BIG AG.
This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue of personal responsibility.
Food for thought this morning.
This is Robert Kennedy Jrs video on what he wants to do. On this, he is not wrong, but its just the tip of the iceberg. and in and of itself it is part of the gaslighting. Take responsibility NOW for yourself and your family.
