The problem though... big supermarkets in Australia are moving into facial recognition at checkout. They can link all your purchases through your face.

So stay away from the big shops. And keep the little places honest.

Farmers' Markets. Shop LOCAL.

Expand full comment
Bacca400's avatar

Our farmer's market costs twice as much for food, that's why we don't shop there. It's very trendy right now.

I'd like to shop there but so far my white privilege has not had a constant stream of $20 bills spewing from my bum, at all. /s

EDIT: And there's just no way to verify if their organic claims are true. The little farms are unlikely to get inspected or audited since they don't have the cash to pay fines anyway. My thinking is mostly the big farms will get inspected if they make organic claims. And then nearly all farms are bereft or micronutrients anyway due to long-term farming. They only replace the macro nutrients, NPK, nothing else.

And if you read the USDA Organic regulations, you can simply claim you cannot find organic pesticides, or organic seeds, and you can still keep the organic label. Read the regulations, they are worthless.

For me the farmer's market is high price, high risk, and low value. I'll buy organic at the store.

USDA organic program has huge loopholes, it's useless. https://chuckrblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/usda-organic-vs-non-gmo-project-verified.html

That’s so true. I’d love to shop at our local farmers market but the prices are just way too high. It’s really for the well-to-do, not the little guys.

Ours are certified organic, meaning that all farms that participate are certified organic producers or you can't sell in the Farmers' Markets. Almost everything produce goes on sale the last hour, $1/lb. Go an hour before, look all around, then buy. I "get it" about the high prices. Ppl don't know that the older we get the more we require better nutrition than when under 50. Pesticides do a lot of damage to the body (you): https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/weed-killer-and-autism-asd-or-adhd. ALL food should be grown at least naturally and without pesticides that stick in your tissues.

That’s a good idea to go late. I’m not sure that my local FM would do a late discount. When I lived in Africa it was expected to bargain for everything but that wouldn’t go over here. Thanks for growing quality food. I raise my own veggies and pressure what I can but it’s still not enough variety.

Everyone is going to have to deal with their local situation in their own locale, in their own way. Simply saying "Farmers' Markets" isn't a command from On High. It's: "Your place, Your problems, Your solutions Your way." I do NOT want food grown and/or sprayed with poisons-- MY choice. And you can always try offering a lower price at the end of the markets' hours and see what they do. If you were a grower, would you really want to go home with unsold loads of highly perishable veg??

1. W-e-l-l-l, maybe a good idea... meanwhile, back in reality, we don't have "community/grassroots level" organic coops that inspect anything. And why would they be any less corrupt?

2. The government is not setting the prices that farmers charge for their organic produce. And unlike commodities such as wheat, corn and soybeans, organic produce is not subsidized. I'm completely sick of pie-in-the-sky speculation and wishes about some imagined reality that exactly matches the fantasies up in leftist and other heads and is sold to us as "reality," "truth," etc., and anything else other than The Most Idealistic Simply. Won't. Do!!!

People generally need LESS quantity and a whole LOT MORE quality of food as they age, and certainly in their later years. I'm living this REALITY right now. Now, you can get by-- or so you believe-- with eating cheap, poorer quality foods loaded with toxins when you're young, but the problems and arterial plaques we're plagued with in later years BEGIN IN YOUR TWENTIES--!!! And that is NO lie. Just go watch Pradip Jamnadas, M.D., on YouTube, and Dr. Steven Berg. And don't give ME no sh!t about this. I am not going to brook any bullshitting "arguments" to the contrary, any of you snarksters, you.

I'll tell you that the Farmers' Markets here charge the same whether you're purple, magenta, chartreuse, violet, polka-dotted, brown, black, white or every shade in between. Checking around in our local independent grocery store (there are two in my area, both family-owned and run) the prices, for the health boost you get, are not too terribly different. Now you can either keep eating food doused with poisons or you can considerably unburden your toxic "body burden" by eating organic as much as possible. AND we can band together with neighbors, each and every one growing something and NONE using poisons of any kind. Most people think you just stick a seed in the soil, walk away and voila-- Perfect tomatoes, three months later! Not so. Your food is only as good as the soil it grows in. Let me make that clear: YOUR FOOD IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE SOIL IT GROWS IN. Take care of your soil. The British are master gardeners and I'm positive they have many local as well as online gardening groups. Best of luck!

Why are you trying to eat less meat? Is it due to the propaganda you read in the MSM?

The truth is humans evolved eating animal products and all of our needed nutrients are contained within these foods.

Most plants are full of toxic defense chemicals; they may be good medicine but they are not good food.

Nutritional science is pretty abysmal, in that they change the rules all the time. One thing most seem to agree on is that too much processed crap is bad for you and too much refined sugar.

The Fasting Mimicking Diet (Valter Longo) seems to have some decent studies behind it and he suggests mostly vegetables and fat based (so I am guessing salads with olive oil). He suggest doing that with limited calories - around 50% of your normal intake for 6 days, every so often, the frequency depending on how healthy you are initially.

Science doesn't have rules. Science has theories based on data, and the theories have to be revised as more and better data become available.

If you really want to be successful, you'll have to determine where on the para-sympathetic dominant to sympathetic dominant range your metabolism lies or spend your life chasing ghosts.

It helps a lot to research the work of John Beard, William Donald Kelley, and Nicholas Gonzalez to know how to determine the basis of your metabolism.

Expand full comment
Wesley B's avatar

Perhaps. I'm not sure if that's true or not. Never really looked in to relationship between autonomic nervous system arousal and diet. Initially to me, they'd seem unrelated? I mean, I can increase my autonomic nervous system arousal by adjusting the time I spend breathing in versus out, taking two breaths in for every one breath out or vice-versa, etc.... You can train long-term breathing patterns too to long-term adjust your autonomic nervous system arousal. Does that mean your metabolism changes permanently or with each new breathing pattern you try?

I'm initially a little bit skeptic. I mean, if I exercise, I will temporarily become dominant in one form. Does that mean, my food will digest differently because I exercised? Technically-yes. My body will digest more protein following a gym workout than if I had not worked out. As it is seeking nutrients with which to repair.

Yes, the horror story that is nutritional science teaches us the problems with science, as it is practiced. It's influenced more by agendas and greed than a search for true answers. I've lost faith in studies, including so-called "gold standard" randomized double-blind. There's just too much fakery and nothing can be trusted anymore. The best bet is paleo, since it's the best approximation we can do of the natural human diet. Predictably, mainstream nutritional science hammered it ruthlessly, although it's gotten better treatment from them lately - not that I care what they say. Nutritional science is worse than worthless, it's usually harmful advice. Intermittent fasting was part of our historical dietary patterns, btw.

Roundup is sprayed on crops to harvest them.

More people get poisoned by spraying Roundup on the weeds in their gardens than by eating it.

I have a former friend who stopped talking to me because I kidded him for spraying Roundup on his driveway to kill the weeds growing up though it while wearing sandals without socks. Bayer/Monsanto says to use PPE when applying Roundup, and they don't mean barefoot in sandals.

It will all collapse eventually when reality clashes against left ideology as it did in former East Germany. Central planning and controlling will be so inferior to individual decentralized systems that people will get very frustrated very quickly. The centralized Covid responds is a good example. Millions more died because the central decision was made to outlaw repurposed drugs like Ivermectin and others. Millions got damaged with useless lockdowns as Sweden shows. And so on. It depends how much people are willing to suffer and go along before civil disobedience will start. I talked to people from East Germany after the wall came down. They said hardly anyone played by the official rules anymore and the system was quietly undermined until it collapsed. A metaphor comes to min: You have this massive big steaming machine rolling over everyone. And people quietly throw sand into the gearbox when no-one is looking. As bigger something is, as more areas for attack. We have numbers and we are divetse and flexible. Like a school of fish around a big shark.

"Our current privacy regulations are woefully inadequate, out of date, and not fit for purpose for the technical realities of the modern digital economy," program lead at Digital Rights Watch Samantha Floreani said.

"People deserve meaningful privacy protections and a regulator who can enforce them properly.
