I serve in prison ministries. Something to consider, if inmates were fed better foods would there be different behaviors from the inmates? According to several inmates the food is horrendous, meat like dog food. I get it, they are in prison, but we know good food also affects good mental health. Something to look at.

Absolutely! It has already been experimented with and improvements in behavior and attitude shown.

How do we get this in front of the Secretary? I have been going into both men and women prisons in TN for 5 years. I see obesity, serious skin issues, and of course depression and anxiety. Many of them are medicated. And very unfortunately continued drug addiction.

Chef Robert Irvine is the BEST! We watched him on Food TV Network all the time. He really helped restaurant owners restore their businesses. He deeply cares about people. He teaches YOU never to give up or give in!

So pleased to hear that something is being done about our food system. Beginning in the ground to have great soil, to stopping the chemicals and farm to table practices. Let’s promote growing food in our classrooms, including nutrition to medical institutions. So much to be done but it can be.

Awesome! There's no end to the changes we need to make Amerucans healthy, but so happy to see what's actually happening! And it definitely isn't going to cost more. Just think about what we're spending on health care. Much better to pay up front.

This is an easy one.

100% Nationwide organic food import and production standard.

Fully paid for by cutting funding to israel.and all these other countries on planet earth. Countless money saved. Then, lower everybody's tax burden by that exact amount (you are overtaxing everybody and using fake inflation stats to really screw everyone this way by taxing their fake "Gains" you printed)

Once all this gets done, to introduce a subsidy to pay for 30-50% of the cost of organic food, and install a small carbon tax to pay for it while simultaneously lowering the brain cancer and all cancer rates in modern "Big City Cancer Air Pollution America"

You could further subsidize Organic food in the entire country by adding a tax to people who own second homes.

All these rich people in my neighborhood own these.mansions, they spend 10-20% of the year at it, and they have all these other mansions in all these other cities.

Meanwhile, all the poor and most middle class kids in America are developed in the womb and raised their entire childhood on the "100% GMO & Synthetic Chemical" diet and lifestyle, causing countless Chronic disease and birth deformity in the country. How much do all those lifelong institutionalized persons cost the tax budget annually?

It's a shame the podcast isn't available for MP3 download so we could listen to it.

Where do we read about the specific changes he addressed and implemented at Fort Hood? I would really love the details.

Love Chef Irvine. Such a compassionate man. I had no idea he was doing this. I remember when COVID first started my son was in basic training. They were all called in to talk about things they could do and not do and my son asked about supplementing with D, C and zinc etc and he was told the food they serve is good enough and he will meet all daily requirements. We immediately sent down Dr Zs protocol which he was not allowed to take. Crazy!

It sounds like Congress does with street fentanyl.... take the life of a young American and what do you have? Less...Why do opiates kill Americans? Congress allows it. If US Senator Feinstein learned from me a x Oxycontin pain patient that replaced Rx Oxycontin with strong cannabis medicine. Why is this not helping the young addicts? Stop the BS. Stop the waist of time.. Someone needs to help the Opiate addicts with strong cannabis medicine the pain patients drink in Mgs. It's all written in my medical records. Patient Zero John Prinz

The first question that needs to be asked is "Why isn't anyone talking about vaccine harms at all?".

Yes, if you buy food for 100+ people, you can get it at a low cost

Yes, if you prepare the food for 100+ people, it can be done with little manpower

Yes, if you wash the plates and utensils for 100+ people, the cleanup is done with little manpower

None of those three efficiencies are available to the home

I estimate that the whole, organic food costs our household consumes costs about $10 and 1 hour per day.
