I've locally source 95% of my food in addition to what I grow & raise myself. Collectively, we have shed enough weight to create another human. We take almost no pharmaceuticals, we have eleminated exhaustion & brain fog. Mood is majorly improved & I've really stepped up the *from scratch* cooking. The food tastes so much better & it's really very fun to boot.
We started this a bit before the election & really didn't have any of that in mind when we did. We just knew we needed a wholesale change and went on ahead & did it.
Even though you're a loon and spiteful, , I am glad that you are healthier, and that you support locallly sourced and grow you own food . I can't do that because I live in a city, and due to illness ,cannot even go to a local natural foods store, which pisses me off. So my money goes to a large chain store ( ugh !) , which at least has tofu and plant based "sausages ".
I very much appreciate the information on this woman’s journey coming from her own life but also from a university graduate in Nutrition that worked in the food industry. As a nutritionist with a degree in Food & Nutrition having also worked for a food company, it is a unique perspective that otherwise would not be understood. I ended up resigning as I could not align with the product and its effect on families. The author is right on track to her observations, she has courage, understands the innuendos of attempted food labeling and writes extremely well on a tough subject. I look forward to reading her book.
My comments tend to circle around the same issue: moving MAHA into the middle- and working-class mainstream. Are there answers to the food industry response to this initiative, which is that fewer pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, and fillers like sugar and starch will make food more expensive? (Personally, I think American food is too cheap; we're fat because food is our most popular drug of choice, cheaper even than marijuana.) I overheard a woman at a McDonald's in DC years ago tell her little grandson that he was going to have a Big Mac rather than the salad he wanted because after the salad he'd still be hungry (and, implicitly, she couldn't afford to buy him TWO meals). Just from my experience working with the "working poor," my guess is that people eat junk because it's cheap, convenient (they work a lot and drive a lot; they don't have the leisure of puttering in gardens and buying from farmers' markets), and tasty. We're not going to make a lot of converts where they're needed by making food expensive, complicated, and "foreign tasting." I'm not questioning the objective, just the messaging.
Something that has bothered me for a long time: Is there any good reason why anyone should trust the labels that say "USDA ORGANIC"? It seems that it would be all too easy for companies to put that on their labels whether it's true or not. Is there any REAL inspection and enforcement in our food labeling system????
"Generally Recognized As Safe" is a smokescreen for subtle poisons, to which some people are more sensitive than others.
I generally eat whatever my garden has produced, and other simple foods as necessary, but few in our modern world can do this.

Important info. I’m an also a victim suffering since 2005 from undiagnosable Autoimmune disease!
I am getting better since adopting an organic diet plus eliminating seed oils as much as possible.
I feel sicker after eating in a restaurant.
I thank God for people like Sina McCullough and RFK, Jr.
Good to hear you are feeling better and did so with food choices. So horrible you were poisoned.

I was wondering if Pharma or vets can be sued for vaccine injury or deaths when it comes to pet
