"One of these things is not like the other"

A random, well meaning gentleman stopped me in the grocery store this morning after observing my cart

He commented on the plethora of green things juxtaposed with my pork rinds.

I kindly let him know most of the green things would be eaten by my baby Cam, and went on my way.

Lol. I’d be looking at what he’s got in his cart. He was probably shaking his head after you walked away thinking that you were heading for a cardiac event real soon!

He did make a comment, something along the lines of “enjoy that while you can… it’ll catch up!” I’m 25 but live in an university town so a lot of people assume I am younger…

Oh well!

The nutritional disinformation brigade (AHA, ADA, USDA, etc.) is so powerful precisely because it has an army of unpaid volunteers (in the form of random, well-meaning gentlemen) who mindlessly parrot and attempt to ENFORCE the nutritional paradigms that have made us sicker and fatter for the past half century.

It actually happened in the 19th century when cotton seed oil, a waste product that was burnt in lamps and used to make soap, was transformed into palatable food. (see Mercola, “Fat for Fuel”, p 10). He writes that an article in Popular Science Monthly of May 1984 summed it up as follows:

“What was garbage in 1860 was fertilizer in 1870, cattle feed in 1880, and table food and many things else in 1890”

The other lesson to be learned from this is that in those days the press was honest. If you ever should study the history of the press in the USA, you’ll find that there were more than 20 000 papers published by independent editors.
