Big Food and Big Pharma sure, yet don't forget Big Agri and Big Oil are bedfellows/other heads of the snake. Keep growing cereals with all the chemical inputs, fuels and associated infrastructure.

That's why they don't want us growing and eating grass fed ruminant meat. Thre is nothing in it for them. Healthy self regulating land, healthy self reproducing animals making healthy meat for us resulting in healthy people. Don't need the chemicals, the heavy oils and equipment, the veterinary medicines even let alone the 'human grade' endless medication, the fancy packaging etc etc. No money for them at any step of the way.

The final kick for them is that we are then clear minded and healthy. They definitely don't want that. Once we are out of our fug and we can see what's really going on they can't manipulate us and they are doomed.

Great to see you have put that piece in place Joel. Ahead of you by fifteen years, but I do have the advantage of being a Real grass fed livestock farmer of 30 years standing :) and why my handle and avatar are as they are.

Good work. Keep going!

Most of the oil and fertiliser is used on acres and acres of soy and corn crops to feed farmed animals (or to feed the chickens that fertilise 'grass-fed' animals) which rather scuppers your theory. Big agrochemicals and big animal ag, who is big pharma's biggest client by far, are all part of the same cartels.

Not true I am afraid. Not where I live. Grass fed ruminants are the majority of animals raised here.

Some farmers 'finish' aka fatten their animals in the last few weeks before slaughter on compound feed. Including corn and soy but more based on other cereals locally grown such as barley. This also says a lot about eating grains and soy, they fatten mammals. Feed lots don't work the way most people think they do.

You'd be hard pushed to find a farmer here who would do the extra work and cost involved in full time housing and feeding their animals on imported soy and corn. Not when there's acres and acres of grass growing essentially for free, just needing sunlight and water. And grass is what we grow best.

Don't believe and repeat the propaganda without actually delving deeper into the reality.

It's sad to me that folk complain about intensive farming yet either continue to support it by buying 'cheap' meat, or think they are helping by not buying meat at all, which is equally ignorant. They should put their hands in their pocket and be prepared to pay proper prices so more farmers are supported to be able to farm regeneratively. It's not the fault of the 'Big Whatever' per se., it's the consumer driving the production. 'Big Whatever' would go out of business without customers. That only happens when the consumer properly supports farmers literally from the ground up.

If you think it's not affordable, think again. You'd be very surprised, it's actually cheaper nutritionally to eat from grass fed meat than the factory food like product which most people see as 'food'.

This is so disengenuous. Yes, acres and acres of grassland for 'free' that used to have First Nations and millions of bison and wild horses living on it. And grass that has to be irrigated with water often from somewhere else, and often fertilised with chicken poo who are feed off farm food produced with oil based fertilisers, for animals that never required vets. Just as God intended, land for the white man to grow beef.

Despite your utopia, or how you think it should be, are you trying to say that big oil and big agri are not involved in 95% of the production of animal product based food in the US?

Expand full comment

Er, you may live in a 'grass-fed' area but over 90% of animals farmed for food in the US are in factory farms- so their feed comes from soy and corn.

And compared to feeding humans directly that a huge amount of fertiliser.

You say we must be prepared to pay proper prices to farmers and then contradict yourself that it's actually cheaper than factory farmed. It's clearly a luxury for those who can afford it.

Why is it ignorant to not buy meat at all if they don't want to? The animal ag industry is destructive and inefficient. There is not enough land for everyone who wanted to eat 'grass-fed' even with considerable deforestation.

Good article, but not surprised at all. It’s been highlighted many times recently and the big food, big Pharma carry on regardless all seemingly supported by our politicians! I despise the likes of Gates prowling around the world peddling his processed synth food, his latest evil being Bovaer which is given to cows to stop natural ‘burping’, it’s toxic and when reaching the food/milk chain could cause serious health issues. I always advocate good wholesome fresh foodstuffs, vegetables and meats prepared and cooked daily, just as our parents did. Using butter and olive oil not the processed seed/corn oils and disgusting spreads. It’s quite easy really.

Ask yourself... what would happen if everyone adopted Keto.... hint - what happens if half or more of the population lives to be 90 years old... think long and hard about that

I know. I realise the faceless nefarious parasites would not want that: keep us poor, keep us sick, bleed us dry, keep us clueless, herd us into smart cities, CBDC, digital I’d etc, etc. Ultimately bleed the very life force from us…..

Actually ... keeping too many people alive into their 90's would collapse pension funds... and the costs for medical care etc... would need to be paid by younger working people... creating a giant sucking sound on their tax dollars...

That would mean less money for productive stuff including education ... road maintenance... etc etc etc....

Imagine if half your tax dollar went to care for 90 year old dead wood?

Would you be ok with that? Or would you rather they be put down through vaccines and toxic food?

Keep in mind ... you do have a personal choice... so who gives a f789 about them

If you do this ... you don't have to worry about being culled https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/a-near-fool-proof-cure-for-cancer

I know... I know... it's too hard... that bacon triple cheeseburger with a mega fries and litre of Coke are just too hard to resist... and anyone who follows the Fast Eddy Plan is not living life... so boring ... such a loser...

And then I hear people say -- don't be such a prick... let the kid have a Cola and an ice cream...

Everything is ... as it should be... either walk the f789ing walk or people need to stop complaining... nobody is FORCING them to each Fruit Loops.

I am 20 years away from being 90. At the moment I’m fit healthy, not overweight and cognitively better than in my 20’s. If, and it’s a big if, I was still fit and active and mentally fully cognitive at 90, would I want to be ‘bumped’ off, no I would not. Look at Roger Penrose (92 or thereabouts) theoretical physicist/mathematician he’s still lecturing and fully cognitive pushing the boundaries of physics. I know exactly what you are saying of course and understand the resource/money scenario, but I don’t want nefarious faceless parasites, and their age old clans planning my demise and future!

That's the beauty of this! You don't need to participate -- you have a CHOICE.

All you need to do is follow this https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/a-near-fool-proof-cure-for-cancer

But don't try to convince others to follow your game plan.... well do it if you want cuz they will cannot resist the siren song of KFC.... and don't moan and complain about big pharma and the fast food industry etc... they are only doing what is necessary ... and if you follow my game plan ... who cares if they poison everyone else

They have a choice... fuck them

Actually... that may be so, but the evidence shows that we are getting longer lived. There was a slight blip up in the population and age adjusted death rate in 2020/21 with the midazolam/remdisiver marketing of the jabs, but it's now falling again to the incredibly low 2019 levels.

This study is 3 months! Where are the long term studies please?

Also, your premise is completely false. We ARE all living longer and longer lives. Though we're living them fat, sick and on drugs, thanks to junk food (stuffed full of animal products) and people falling for the trope that weight loss by any means is healthy.

Gates prowling and buying up farm land is a common trope.He's growing carrots and potatoes and breeding horses. He owns 0.02% of US farmland, nothing compared to the giant animal ag cartels (trying to greenwash their environmentally harmful industry with toxic products that don't reduce methane significantly anyway). https://jowaller.substack.com/p/who-is-controlling-the-food-supply?utm_source=publication-search

A friend invested a LOT of money in a new restaurant concept some years ago ... the founders were former fast food execs... with good intentions

They were planning a national chain selling only very healthy food...

It crashed and burned.. I think he lost 2 million USD

Clearly most people have ZERO interest in healthy food (which is a good thing)

There is a lot to be said of RFK's emphasis on food production--also you will be familiar with Dr Sarah Myhill-its all about the gut.

Interested people have known about the connection between health and food for decades. I used to dogwalk with a woman who had to have a new heart valve installed and, after the operation they wanted her to go on blood pressure pills. She questioned her doctor and then went away and did her own research. Consequently, she refused the medications and simply adjusted her diet. It worked but her doctor just rolled his eyes and called her a looney!

Most people can't be bothered to adjust their diets (imagine not eating McDonalds!) and don't know how to cook anyway ("but how do I make a bolognese if I don't use Dolmio pasta sauce?"). Going to be an uphill struggle to change anything - far too many vested interests.

Personally, after the Covid debacle, my expectations of the general public to take any responsibility for anything at all is very very low!

Sustainability is the key as mentioned.

Very acidic also which is inflammatory.

Food is important, but you can choose what you consume.

The problem is the many vaccines that you are OBLIGED to have, say to attend school or college.

So that food becomes a way to hide the truth (vaccine damage) under a sea of irrelevance…

Totally agree. Sasha Latypova alleges that the adjuvants injected directly into the bloodstream hyper-sensitize us to react to subsequent exposures. The typical example is adjuvant 65 aka peanut oil. She alleges that all vax reactions are a form of anaphylaxis. Now we have peanut "allergies".

Peanut oil directly into the vein is a completely different exposure than eating a peanut and it being subjected to stomach acid during digestion. The direct vax exposure hyper sensitizes. It's based on the work of Charles Richet.

Amen Brother! Amen! I started a keto diet in 2018 after researching diets for heart disease. In 7 weeks I had a dramatic improvement in my lipid profile. Over the course of the next 6 months I lost 20 pounds. Most of the Government dietary guidance has been wrong for decades. I wish I had known in the 1980s what I learned later.

The overall purpose of ultra-processing is to create branded, convenient (durable, ready to consume), attractive (hyper-palatable) and highly profitable (low-cost ingredients) food products designed to displace all other food groups.

Examples include hydrogenation, hydrolysation, extrusion, molding and preprocessing for frying. Ultra-processed foods also tend to be far more addictive than other foods due to high amounts of sugar, salt and fat.

In 1938, Congress passed the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDCA), which initially labeled food as goods that should be regulated by the consumers themselves. Eventually, the Food Additive Amendment was added to the FDCA in 1958, allocating broad authority to the FDA to regulate chemicals added to food products.

More than 10,000 different food additives are used in American food products today making it impossible to regulate this amount of chemicals.

In addition companies have the authority to make their own Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determinations using a panel of "qualified experts” and then have the option—but not the requirement—of notifying the FDA The result of these regulatory loopholes is that there are substances in the food supply that are unknown to the FDA.

All of this scarcely scratches the surface of the problem as Big Pharma, US Government, Big Food and Big Agriculture are all interwined and owned by the likes of Berkshire Hathaway, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street — the same entities that have a monopoly on the world’s resources.

There is nothing more profitable in our society today than a sick person and these companies and bought off politicians at the behest of the wealthy investors work together to make astronomical profits by poisoning us.

Yeah, we all know that processed food is bad for you! What Joel is pushing is a keto diet who's long term effects seem to be negative.

Hate to be the science-thumper. In general, for a hot topic that peopel really are studying, search for hte most recent systematic reviews or meta-analysis on pubmed. Single trials often don't conform to the rest. Also, short-term is the problem with a lot of these studies. One review I recall found that ketogenic looked great for diabetes at 6 months. And at 12 months everyone was back to baseline. It's likely not a sustainable diet.

Woohoo. Thank you David. Why do you hate to be the science-thumper- at least then I know i"m not the only one in the room.

Keto of course only treats the symptoms, it doesn't treat the cause of type 2 diabetes, which is the fat we wear and the fat we eat, particularly diacyl glycerols, blocking the insulin receptor.

There's also the build up of AGEs, pressure on the kidneys from acid load and damage to nerve and blood vessels. Good job most people can't stick to it beyond a few months.
