In addition to teaching kids about foods that are unhealthy--sugar, corn syrup, trans fats, highly processed foods, etc.--there are some useful skills that might help. How about teaching kids how to plant a garden, how to cook well, and then how to eat slowly to encourage a more healthy diet? I am so grateful for parents who taught me all three. (Although I must admit that my waist line does not necessarily reflect what I preach.)

Great article!

You mean like the racist colonization of Vermont by vile, toxic, opportunist, social justice carpetbaggers?

It is manipulative and exploitative.

"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way. The liberal is more deceitful, more hypocritical, than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the negro’s friend and benefactor. And by winning the friendship and support of the negro, the white liberal is able to use the negro as a pawn or a weapon, in this political football game that is constantly raging between the white liberals and the white conservatives. The American negro is nothing but a political football, and the white liberals control this ball, through tricks or tokenism, false promises of integration and civil rights. In this game of deceiving and using the American negro, the white liberals have complete cooperation of the negro civil rights leaders who sell our people out for a few crumbs of token recognition, token gains, token progress.

Surely the ethical line between animals and humans is being (deliberately?) blurred. In the name of elevating the so-called "dignity" of animals, the real goal is to reduce compassion for humans as animals -- they are destroying the planet, not miraculous image bearers of God. They must be exterminated like the cockroaches with whom they are now equalized..... This is the message of the WHO, couched in new-age-sounding proclamations. Humans have never much cared for each other, let alone the planet -- now we have globalists preaching only they can be trusted to rescue both. It is a demonic invitation, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

It is unfathomable unless understood as a cult. James Lindsay has written well about it. But in every important ethical aspect, it is the EXACT REVERSE of Christianity: no equality, no redemption, no forgiveness, and no salvation. Same pattern for all the neo-Marxist bowel movements -- CRT, Queer Theory, class warfare. All works-based, all lead to endless tribalism and retribution rather than healing. That is the plan -- deconstruction, so the new masters can "save" us from individual liberties. Ironically, those clamoring for "personal identity" seek to enlarge state power to enforce that on others -- they are ultimately statists, demanding the government tyrannically protect their perceived "liberties" to compel others to acknowledge non-existent identities, or identities premised in immorality. The antidote is truth, justice, and equality before the law. My don't they despise all three....

Dr. Lindsay is brilliant, and an amazing resource. He has spoken here in Vermont.....

John you nailed it. The whole dietary guidelines are built upon the lie that saturated fats cause cardiac risk. This lie was given to us by Ancel Keys. Who Cherry picked his data to show a correlation between fat consumption and heart attacks. He did a study where he had complete control of the diet at a state institution where he took out the saturated fat and replaced with vegetable oils to prove his theory. He lowered the cholesterol levels but the saturated fat group had less cardiac issues and a lower mortality. IE he disproved his own theory. So he hid the results and never published it. But he failed to destroy the data which has been discovered and it was finally published after he died. Yet we still hear none stop that red meat is dangerous to your health. Nothing can be further from the truth. Sugar is the poison that is driving the obesity crisis. There is an excellent YouTube presentation called “sugar the bitter truth”. By a Robert Lustig he goes through how the body metabolizes fructose and how it’s exactly the same as alcohol and it’s why he has 8 yrs with cirosis of the liver just like alcoholics and they have never drank alcohol.
