  Yea, its insane what the Food, Medical & Pharma Industries have done with our food, creating a nice circle that makes the Food companies richer, makes the Medical industry richer, and makes the Pharma industry richer.
  Why am I even living on the insane planet?
  To anyone who doesn’t know, eat whole foods: Fish, chicken, pork, beef with vegetables, greens and fruits. Also honey, spices and lots of other simple whole foods that will keep you from ever needing a Dr. I dont recommend grains, they were not in our diets until recently.
  Why is that so hard?

  Hey hogweed have you seen a photo of Warren Buffet (90) or his partner Charlie Munger (99) lately? Buffet drinks 6-8 cokes per day, eats fast food, has ice cream after every meal and gets virtually no exercise. You could show him a head of broccoli and he’d go “what’s that?” Munger’s diet is probably worse. Buffet doesn’t have a wrinkle on his face and moves like a much younger man. My sister and her husband are health nuts, won’t eat grains, anything in the nightshade family because they read a book by some lunatic who said they’re poisonous (tomatoes etc) and mostly eat raw vegetables. They’re the unhealthiest people I know. Buy a clue pal. It’s called genetics. You either got ‘em or you don’t. Diet at most can add about 3% to your lifespan.

  pbcaddy, pictures of Buffet & his bum buddy?
  Sounds real scientific.

  Hogweed,if parents do not put in the effort, a fight really, to keep their kids from becoming fat before they are adults, few will get down to normal weight and stay there.

  Don’t forget the gazillion dollar diet industry.

  I read a few years ago that a 2 year old was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Prior to 15-20 years ago it was called adult onset diabetes that began around 30 years of age. They had to change the name. Millions of fat kids have fatty liver disease - it’s called a silent epidemic.There’s a bunch more diseases & disorders showing up in young people & too many calories does not explain it. There’s many connections with micro plastic & forever chemicals causing changes that mothers are passing on to their babies. The human MegaCancer has now infected itself.

  @apnea -very true, our kids are being poisoned and fed a ton of nutritionally poor foods. We have been seeing the results as doctors today are so overworked and falling behind the number of sick that are ever increasing, much to the medical and pharma’s rejoicing.
  I just read a week or two ago that doctors are very concerned at the sharp increase of colon cancer in young adults.

  @pbcaddy I can understand how not having done any research can make a single example seem as some kind of proof. Dont forget Munger and Buffet grew up many DECADES before all this highly processed and convivence foods were available. I am 65 and I haven’t been to a Dr in 20 years, and hardly ever before that, and never have been really sick in my life. But your not seeing at all how fat and sick people are becoming at ever younger years. Its like babies will eventually be born already having diabetes or cancer. A Medical/Pharma dream….

  I’ve completed my first listen & wow. I learned a number of things. It’s very complex, but what’s clear is the big money scumbags have no problem being in the gutter, making huge profits, knowingly addicting & messing people’s bodies up then hiring slick PR scumbags & a few scumbag doctors to blame the victim.
  There’s so much going on & there are still unknowns & the customer/people are like lab rats. Any just worlders need to shut up because your primitive unchanging stance is wrong - y’all don’t know what you are talking about (again) because you dismiss the research without looking at it. cuz you just know.

  *Ingesting microplastics may increase fat absorption by 145 per cent*

  ‘Using a model of a human small intestine, researchers found that microplastics in high-fat foods significantly increase the absorption of fat’

  This headline below is 3 days old

  *‘Forever chemicals’ exposure can lead to low birth weight and obesity in later life*

  ‘Children whose mothers are exposed to toxic PFAS can experience phenomenon previously linked to fetal tobacco smoke exposure’

  The low birth rate effects of some PFAS have been previously established, but the study tracked 1,400 kids and found higher BMIs and more incidences of obesity in those ages two to five. The “low birth weight-high obesity risk paradox” was previously associated with tobacco smoke exposure during fetal development.

  “Something similar is going on with PFAS,” said Joe Braun, a Brown University researcher and study co-author.

  “PFAS are a class of about 15,000 chemicals often used to make products resistant to water, stains and heat. The compounds are ubiquitous, and linked at low levels of exposure to cancer, thyroid disease, kidney dysfunction, birth defects, autoimmune disease and other serious health problems. They are called “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally degrade in the environment.

  A recent review of published research found PFAS in umbilical cord blood in all approximately 30,000 samples collectively checked in the studies.”

  Over & over they are finding that people are feeling hungry after eating enough to satiate the average person. Nobody is ‘willing’ themself hungry again. Signals are out of whack. Since we have never had an obesity epidemic before, what’s different now? The most recent 2 generations have decided to ignore their feelings of being satiated & “free willed” themselves to eat again even though their last meal was less than 2hrs ago & it’s uncomfortable -indigestion & acid reflux- to force more food down? I view obesity the same as an addict - hard to quit & change, yes. Impossible, no.
  You must try - for a number of reasons. Big one being it’s not just about you. IMO the big money scum are just drug dealers in 3 piece suits. They won’t change.

  Thank god I found this book. I had no idea how many chemicals are in the food we eat. I’ve been regularly ingesting Octadecatienoic Acid, Hexadeaenoic Acid, Gamma-Dodecalatone, Methy-Furfual, (E)Ethyl Butanoate, Octyl-2-Methyl Butanoate, Methanethiol, Dimethoxymethane, 1-Butoxy-1Ethoxyethane and god knows what else.

  But that’s probably because I eat a lot of strawberries. And those are a few of the chemical names for what makes up a strawberry. I guess I better cut back but apples, peaches and bananas aren’t any better. Guess I’ll go to straight water from here on in.
