What kills me isn't that industry produces hyper-palatable foods that are addictive and difficult or impossible to consume in moderation. It is the fact the government subsidizes the components of these foods making them less expensive than their less processed counterparts. Think about it, how in the hell is a processed food cheaper than whole food? Processing costs money, and in a free market this would be reflected in the price. The idea that we pay for the privilege of cheap processed food with inflation whether we consume it or not is endlessly frustrating.

Excellent points, thank you. One can still buy the fresh food and so on. But things are set up via "choice architecture" that the healthier choices take more and more effort. The default is the convenient, highly processed.

It's this kind of Evil that makes my blood run cold, and then pretty HOT.

I remember talking to an old friend quite a while ago, maybe a year? He said his mother had just passed, and I comforted him and thought we were having a lovely conversation after a long time without one. He knew that I was not jabbed, and that I was part of the 10% -- the "Truthers." And then after we'd been talking for a while, he suddenly told me that he couldn't understand how I could be so "selfish and cavalier" about not getting jabbed. And this is rather mind-boggling, until we remember that these folks are very brainwashed...

What's truly SELFISH AND CAVALIER is how anyone could deliberately cause the death and/or suffering of children. I think it's a pretty good guess that this phrase, "selfish and cavalier" comes from those who create these hideous means of Divide and Conquer... And just what these phrases and ideas actually ARE: projection. Absolute and utter projection.

The health of American children has undeniably been getter worse over the past two decades--from rising rates of diabetes to obesity to emotional health issues and more. The default response: more Pharma. How can so many people keep trusting in something which is obviously not working?

Because the same thing is being done to them and they don't understand any of it.

Truly shocking yet it remains essentially hidden from the general public.

In the "Big Picture" of things, they have more than just the jabs going on. Big Pharma has their hands in all aspects of our health and you just showed one small piece of it. Thanks. Will be linking today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
