It has been a long time since I have actually have seen your posts in my inbox:; after my triple eye surgeries last year, yes Jan through May for both eyes, and just recently got Microsoft to stop sending Substack into JUNK MAIL (last week) :) Hope you are well in 2024. YES I like your post: So the applied change of the year 2023 is now actualizing in my life. Surgeries (mostly) over with. still more to go w/ teeth.. aging is one of the worst experiences I have ever experienced :) she said with smile. Don't say the usual stuff people say, you are smarter than that, Josh, YES our food is RAW sewage practically. I was thinking about writing some recipes that I actually used to cook, as I am .. and still am a Gourmet level Culinary "cook": learned from my father and mother. My dad was a real Veal chef when he retired; my mother was European (German and French born there) so we ATE super nutritious healthy food growing up; and that is what I cooked like for my family ,, I took off 12 years to stay home w/ sons and while I was at it (being a sub chemist, my minor in University) that is a big part of the Cooking: understanding the CHEMISTRY of FOOD, Cooking, oils.. etc: The junk that is passing for "food now" now days is appalling.. .you are right about the KETO eaters. I actually bought some Keto "vanilla frozen bars" the other day and it tasted like "uuuuuh" fluffy tasteless stuff. I don't cook anymore because my "colon and diverticulitis" health which is constantly managed by me I cannot eat "red meat" and I am glad I did WHEN which also means at that time the animals which were being used for the food industry were not stuffed w/ antibiotics, steroids.. and who knows what else they are feeding the chickens and cattle. I actually remember when Prime Rib was actually PRIME RIB. Now days unless one goes to FIVE STAR "restaurant" which gets to top of the LINE..vegetables, oils.. meat, fruit or go to Gourmet grocery store and KNOW what to look for, yes, people are eating CRAPOLA.

Yesterday it was Dentist and I have a really busy spring planned .. next couple weeks. De cluttering and de junking the house so I will be busy. I will take a look at some of your posts I have missed.. when I can. :) take care. Yep.. and don't worry about how many Doritos are in the bag.. just don't eat them. I quit my Doritos habit after my 5th colonoscopy.. yeh. and I am finally OK. (the colon/diverticulitis thing runs in my family so I knew it was going to happen: it was just when) SOOOOOO! talk to ya later. :)

How we decentralize health insurance and make today’s model obsolete?

I would add reducing calorie intake. People across the world have had diverse diets in preindustrial times. The human body can handle poisoning as it’s in many natural foods it just can’t tolerate continuous processing of excessive volumes of poison.

While I believe the carnivore diet is better than the plant diet, I have to ask what's in the meat that the cow or chicken or pig ate? Unless you know your direct source, it's another shot in the dark. Same with organic. I don't trust any food just because someone plastered an organic sticker on it.

It's the trends in food that are disturbing. Some bogus study comes out and all the food companies jump on the bandwagon...fat free, low salt, low fat, sugar free, no GMOs, gluten free, etc. As I often hear, you gotta pick your poison...literally.

The FDA is completely bogus. Another total waste of taxpayer and big pharma money...well maybe not so much for corrupt drug companies which includes all of them.

the only way to get really decent food is to grow it yourself. the medicinal herbs are way more potent fresh too.
