Umm, I'm really disappointed you didn't even mention RFK Jr. and the allegations he's making, not even in a neutral manner. That is THE debate - are we fatter and sicker because of the foods and/or vaccines we get?

There was a mainstream media story the other day about how ultra processed foods are linked to higher cancer rates. There was another story about how red dye #3 may get banned soon.

It's a fact there are a lot of additives in our food that aren't used in other countries that have higher life expectancies than us.

I do want to address that in a podcast ;)

Because I am trying to keep my posts to a reasonable length. I already went beyond the email length. I had something happen recently to me, and I made a diet change to address it, and it made a quick effect... and I want to talk about that (and it gives me a chance to talk about Stu in a relevant way, because I learned most of my diet/nutrition stuff from him, initially). If you want a teaser, here: https://meep.livejournal.com/2214854.html

I did allude to our crap lifestyles/diet a few times (but didn't get more specific than that).
