This is such a huge step forward. Thank you, Dr. McCullough, RFK Jr and the medical people making this change happen. I speak as a 73 year old married home cook, non-medical person, but I think better health is just a few weekly kitchen preps away for most people.
What I do is buy proteins for the week and cook everything but seafood on one day. I poached or braise chicken that can be shredded, reverse sear a 2 lb flank steak that can be sliced as needed, slow cook a pork butt or roast two pork loins and braise two duck legs. I buy heritage pork when possible. I buy beef that is raised by farmers whose processes I know. The same with chicken and duck. When I braise meat I keep the enriched stock I used for soups. I cook up several kinds of dried heirloom beans (love Rancho Gordo) and save that broth as well for soups and sauces. I also prep salad greens and vegetables three times during the week for freshness. I get local ocean fish once a week and have frozen and tinned seafood.
This may sound like a lot of work and expense, but it’s a quarter of what we would pay to eat out and honestly, the prep is fun and pleasurable and I’m a lousy chopper. Plus I’m a recent Septic Shock survivor who still needs a walker to get even three feet. If I can do it, other people can too. An example of easy, quick meals I made for the two of us yesterday:
Breakfast: steak, egg, bell pepper scramble
Lunch: chicken, butternut squash, kale, celery, farro, pomegranate seed salad with miso dressing. A cup of chilled cucumber and avocado soup. Siete tortilla chips with homemade salsa.
Dinner: local halibut with chimichurri sauce, Parish rice (half the usual starch of rice), pinto bean salad. And yes, my homemade ginger cookies made with Red Fife flour.
I have made what drs say is an excellent recovery from my Septic Shock on this diet and my husband lost twenty pounds.
Thank you, RFK Jr, for helping us get healthy. The hospital food was the worst!!!
I will still add more animal fat to my diet along with more animal protein. That ultra processed so called food, made me a T2 diabetic but I am working at turning that around naturally with my diet.
I would love to have the proper breakdown of large and small LDL cholesterol to be reflected in cholesterol testing for cardiac disease risk. The current testing does not do that. People may have an increased amount of good LDL yet told they have high cholesterol because the tests don’t distinguish between the two.
Great article of sharing quality! However, it lacks some context, that is the WHY saturated fats were targeted. As I recall this was a consequence of Big Ag developing mono-culture in the US which promoted all the seed oils---corn, cottonseed, canola. Concomitently, coconut oil and lard which were major oils used in the US began to be attacked. Coconut is not a major US product so eliminating it was an economic ploy for US agriculture. Lard was replace with Crisco--remember those ads promoting it? You can do anything with Crisco. Remember that scene in the movie The Help? As this article notes no studies were done on saturated fats when they were attacked: they were lumped in with others that were though harmful. So this article would have a lot more bang for the buck if it included this economic interest of Big Ag as significant context.
Actually I found this out for myself. I've often remarked how we were all getting fatter despite using oils and cutting out natural fats. When the scamdemic started I decided I wouldn't get the jabs,instead I would improve my health. I went back to butter, animal fats,cut out brought bread etc. Since then I have lost 4and a half stone.(14 pounds in a stone).never felt better, am on no medication,I am 71.
In addition to number one ingredient is corn! You can't get any of these companies to modify without using cheap glycophate enriched corn. 17 year nurse in the home.
Interesting that you mention corn, as I have believed for a long time that corn is the culprit in initiating weight gain and feeding the gain. And they use it because it makes a good filler grain because it is cheap and accessible, and sweet. The first Americans who came to the East Coast of the US learned from the Indians that corn could keep up their families fuel and weight needs when they started their homesteads.
While editors feverishly peck on their keyboards for something about
"making" America healthy others are reporting about MASSIVE wins that
build on the momentum from RFK and the Trump admin. Behold:
Seriously good news as the resistance to vax fraud has momentum. The AZ alert is monumental. RFK has launced an HHS investigation. Moderna froze R&D within HOURS. Jon Rappoport has been exposing the fraud longer than most. Forgive the cross posting. This is enormous: BREAKING: Texas AG Ken Paxton launches his own investigation of vaccine fraud! And he calls it MAHA! ==================================================================================================== Jon Rappoport Jan 26 Gotta love this one. When was the last time you heard that a state Attorney General was investigating widespread, long-standing, STRUCTURAL vaccine fraud, involving safety, cash, insurance providers, pharma companies…THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD THAT WAS NEVER. My favorite Christmas song starts out, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” Whose chestnuts will Ken Paxton be roasting? Go, dude! The Texas Attorney General is on the move. His investigation is coming out of the same playbook as the federal RICO lawsuit I’ve been writing about. This is huge. We’re now talking about the highest law enforcement official in the state of Texas. And he’s talking vaccine fraud, payments to doctors incentivizing them to shoot more vaccines into arms, and a whole lot more. And he’s calling this Making America Healthy Again, MAHA. This is a criminal investigation. Here is the killer historic press release from Paxton’s office¹. Read the whole thing: “Attorney General Ken Paxton opened a landmark investigation into the multi-level, multi-industry scheme that has illegally incentivized medical providers to recommend childhood vaccines that are not proven to be safe or necessary. The wide-sweeping investigation will analyze an incentivization framework that has historically forced Texas kids to receive over 70 shots from birth to age 18 in order to continue receiving medical care.” “The investigation will examine whether pediatric medical providers, insurance companies, vaccine manufacturers, or other entities engaged in deceptive or unlawful conduct by failing to disclose financial incentives connected to their administration of childhood vaccines. The investigation comes as children across the state are expelled from pediatric practices and denied medical care based on their vaccination status. Doctors’ wages, bonuses, and even employment often hinge on the number of vaccinations they administer.” “As part of the investigation, Attorney General Paxton is issuing over 20 Civil Investigative Demands (‘CIDs’) to some of the largest medical providers, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers in the country, including entities like UnitedHealthcare and Pfizer.” “‘I will ensure that Big Pharma and Big Insurance don’t bribe medical providers to pressure parents to jab their kids with vaccines they feel aren’t safe or necessary,’ said Attorney General Paxton. ‘Alongside President Trump and Secretary Kennedy’s significant efforts to ensure safety when it comes to childhood vaccines, my office will fight to protect kids’ health and uphold transparency in the medical industry. Together, we will Make America Healthy Again. Texans deserve to have full faith in the recommendations of their medical providers—particularly when it involves the health of their children. I will not tolerate a ‘carrot and stick’ approach to healthcare recommendations. Any provider or entity whose medical guidance is fueled by financial incentives from an insurance company, Big Pharma, or otherwise will be exposed.” “President Trump and Secretary Kennedy are already implementing important reforms regarding childhood vaccines, highlighting the Trump Administration’s commitment to Gold Standard Science as opposed to the Biden’s Administration’s policy of pushing as many possible shots into as many arms as possible. Attorney General Paxton is committed to furthering the momentum of parental choice in childhood vaccination decisions.” Remember the word MOMENTUM? We might have some of that going here. The RICO lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics, and now this. Paxton has one big advantage:...
The photo with the title of the article is excellent demonstrating high quality protein sources. Now take them separately and combine to make a protein rich dish or casserole.
I can add directly to the history of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs as I was hired to do research for the committee scheduled for the late summer of 1977. I had gone to D.C. to the Senate Building and met the administrative staff and given two large boxes filled with the many past reports in small 5x7 white paper books to read and understand where they had been in their focus and findings. The beginning of their work was with malnutrition in the US in specific regions. Then I received a call that President Carter significantly cut the Congressional budget and the entire committee was axed. And so was my job. It did change my life as I had planned to stay in government work. Had the committee been able to continue knowing they had a commitment to funding long term, the issues around the study of saturated fat may have had a longer life with a different recommendation. It seemed a long time from Senator Teddy Kennedy on the committee to no committee all these years until nephew Bobby came into the administration.
Very useful post, but it’s a little rich for MAHA to be calling out bureaucrats for cherry-picking data and promoting misleading conclusions from research, when RFK is the all-time leader in these practices.
Yesterday, at an event to promote these real food guidelines, he said that a keto diet will “cure” schizophrenia. Not “help”, not “alleviate symptoms”, but “cure”. He cited a study for backup and as is so often the case with him, when media contacted the scientists behind the study, they said his assertion was completely wrong.
Initiatives like eating real food are great and long overdue, but having an undisciplined, self-aggrandizing narcissist like Kennedy as the frontman will likely do more harm than good.
Thank you Secretary Kennedy! I can now say I am eating normal without any arguments!
Nice work and well presented, Dr. McCullough. I will include this in my next blog post.

Your dietary/kitchen protocol is exemplary and commendable, Polly!
cept for the dead animal bit...
You are not buying "proteins" You are buying dead animals. You do not require dead animals to thrive.
I love having a vegan troll.
Animal killers unite. Polly is organizing a support group.
Its called: We be eating carcass...
Thank you, RFK Jr, for helping us get healthy. The hospital food was the worst!!!
I will still add more animal fat to my diet along with more animal protein. That ultra processed so called food, made me a T2 diabetic but I am working at turning that around naturally with my diet.
it is every persons responsibility for health, John McDougal had great expertise about T2 diabetes, something well known for over 35 years...
The fact that you ate ultra processed foods is on you.
If God made it, eat it.
Howz about rocks? God gave humankind a mind and entrusted "us" with
the care of animals (dominion). Wake up.
AS God made it.

yes of course, just use coconut oil
Lard is dead animal fat...
Big Ag and Big P are off limits for Medical Doctors.

Thank you for this clear explanation! Real food matters.
