[@What-The-Beef]

It's because nutrition science is a joke science. They can't do real scientific trials on people to establish actual cause for ethical reasons, so they place so much importance on surveys and association studies. The processed food and pharma industries heavily influence research and muddy the waters so much (which is their aim). It's the old "ice cream consumption causes shark attacks" association nonsense. There will always conflicting studies because they are easy to pump out.

[@Dalabombana]

To all those who either didn’t watch the video and commented or are still confused - the main takeaway is avoid overly processed food, eat more fermented foods and fibre (nuts and seeds provide both protein and fibre), don’t supplement with protein powder unless you are bodybuilding, as you are probably ok. Keep doing your keto if it works, IF, and vegetarian / meat diet, etc. Just remember to look after your biome with implementing and taking care of your gut microbes. It’s not actually that difficult and doesn’t conflict with any diet other than low-fat, which we all know today is bad for you. That’s not a fad, it’s already been completely debunked. Edit: To the persistent commenters who again clearly STILL haven’t watched the video and getting triggered over my comment of low fat being bad for you: I’m not writing a thesis on this because you are too lazy to watch the video. I made a brief outline of the themes assuming people will want to watch the actual video to learn more. If you watch it you will understand what is meant by low fat being bad for you. Clue: It’s nothing to do with the whole food diet in Asia 😂

[@Healthception]

Thanks alot for the summary!

[@d.e.b.b5788]

Uh, fermenting is a way to PROCESS the food. If you want unprocessed food, you eat it RAW.

[@Dalabombana]

@@d.e.b.b5788 Er yes? Most food is processed. But we are distinguishing between unnecessary ultra processed chemical additives and factory-scale process over handmade natural or small made process, like fermented foods we can make at home. Sorry what’s your point? Did you watch the video through?

[@Dalabombana]

@@Healthception pleasure!

[@funkycowie]

I was going to post something similar, thank you for saving me the time and doing it more eloquently than I would have. 👍

[@MartinGreen932]

This protein advice simply doesn't compute with real life experience. 1) Compare fit and strong people against those that are less fit and weak. The former group will eat way more protein than the latter. You can live to a long age in reasonable shape with lowish levels of protein but to maximise your chances of feeling good for longer and reducing falls, diabetes etc in later age then exercise and eat more protein. 2) He doesn't talk about how having more of your calories through protein reduces blood sugar spikes. This is a huge factor in overall health.

[@Psychosoul139]

I’m also not gelling with his protein stance, based on the research for example from Dr Peter Attia on eating more protein for longevity and building strong muscle. This info isn’t really focused on protein for strength training, he seems to be talking about protein requirements for ‘normal’ but isn’t addressing the role of protein in resolving metabolic disorders, insulin resistance and muscle building for longevity. This seems like an older paradigm and his referencing ‘normal’ people get enough protein - what is the barometer for ‘normal’ right now when we live in an epidemic of ‘normal’ lifestyle diseases. My long way of saying something seems off about his protein stance relative to Dr’s like Mindy Weltz and Peter Attia who reference metabolic health, his stance seems out of context.

[@MartinGreen932]

Yes doctors should be pointing out optimum health benefits not just what will be normal. His fibre suggestions are obviously good.

[@cross-eyedmary6619]

The truth is that there is not a one-size-fits-all diet. Different machines run on different fuel. If you are lean and muscular already high protein works really well…your body knows what to do with it. But broken metabolisms are the majority now, and since medicine uses the majority as it’s baseline standard for “normal,” you get this kind of advise here. Much of the world (even the western) are starving nutritionally speaking. All the while being flabby and sedentary. For the modern “human” (if you can call this lifestyle human, because to me it is not) the kind of diet here might work better.

Hi! my German Shepard had extremely bad hip stiffness and could barely get into my car at a crawl; 6 months into feeding raw with advice from the 'paws of prey' KZbin channel and the NRC guidelines which she follows in her videos, my gsd could jump into the back of a truck. I also noticed that her ability to focus and mood was so much better! dental health was better, white teeth! she became a 9 year old puppy.

Imagine what eating that way could do for us! Pretty much what happens on carnivore.

[@sunrisetacticalgear2676]

We are now eating processed kibble and calling it snack foods. Even most restaurant foods come frozen in a bag from major suppliers like Sysco as an example in our area, who also delivers to the hospitals. I’m so lucky that my wife knows how to prepare meals from, less processed staple foods from the grocery store.

[@jessicajohnson4087]

Absolutely! I've been feeding homemade raw to my dogs and cats for years! Makes total sense. If people/vets give you trouble just remind them that humans are the only animal that cooks their food! 👍

​@@jessicajohnson4087 haha i love this ❤

[@denmark23]

no its not, no animal on earth eats only meat... not even carnivores, cats for example who almost live only on animals don't have the ability to break down plants so they eat the stomach of prey with greens inside, this way they can digest it. Bears eat a lot of berries and so do dogs, I don't know of any animal eating only meat and they don't have the privilege's to eat only the muscle. I don't know of any animal only eating vegies either. Just be a normal human and eat both, instead of using yourself as a science experiment. It can only end in disaster and don't advocate and try to get other people to do the same, until we have at least 50 years of data, before that we don't know if you will get sick from it in a year. smoking feels good as well, so do drugs, sugar feels as energy, you cannot go around living your life on what you are feeling without any data to support it. Its dangerous and even if you do it, don't convince others to do the same. @@sunmoonstars3879

The biggest issue with fruits and veggies is that here in the USA, there has been a huge lawsuit from pesticides glycophosphate and roundup causing lymphoma. Organic fruits and veggies are 2 to 5 x as expensive. It is a horrible state of affair.

[@kriismuss]

Hasn't organic food always been a lot more expensive than shit food lol? It sucks I agree, but I guess you have to swallow the pill and live with it. I totally quit alcohol and nicotine to zero and now I'm literally wasting nothing on useless food products so I can basically invest into more real food with the money I have because of not throwing it into nicotine pouches and especially wine and cider everyday (Yes I was an alcoholic, so you can imagine how much worse it was for my wallet than for just a casual drinker ;D)

[@marilynamos3542]

Yes your right USA is a problem, I note you mention Round up that sold their company to BAYER because of bad publicity. Bayer though continued the round processes and taken it further. Their new products are far stronger and more toxic now. USA allows these on your crops as does Uk now. There is a group fighting its use in EU, which has beeb going on for years. Plus USA allows certain chemicals on your Organic. Fortunately not in UK yet.

[@evelynzucker907]

And don't forget that you eat the pesticides that have been fed to the animals that you eat later as meat. There the pesticides are heavily concentrated including all the antibiotics in the meat that keeps the animals that are usually living pretty much on top of each other from getting sick. It is frightening.

Don't they spray it on other things such as wheat, corn, soy, plus the animals we get our meat from will eat it up too. I dont think it's entirely a fruit and veg problem.

Dr Tim Spector's first interview on DOAC was the first of this series podcasts I ever watched and I can honestly say it was a life changing experience for me. The discovery of this topic of the gut microbiome has been a game changer. I will never look at food in the same way and my newly acquired obsession this with this topic has become a running joke in my family. I have watched many other DOAC podcasts since discovering the series , each one better than the last. The foundation of the series success is Steve's exceptional skill as an interviewer and his ability to get the best out of whoever he is in conversation with. nothing it out of bounds and it is personal and human and relatable no matter the topic. Love it.

[@joannasheldon2146]

Okay, great that you introduced fermented veg, but folks -- (1) try to use organic veg which will have more good microbes on it because it's grown in living soil, and (2) if you want to make sure you don't get an explosion use a jar with a rubber ring, like a clip-top Kilner or (my preference) a Weck jar. DON't open the jar every day or so because you're letting oxygen in which encourages the development of mould. The rubber ring will allow excess CO2 to escape without letting oxygen in.

The full fat one had rotted, had green mould and spores all over it and smelt.

As someone who is in their early 40s and was pretty active when younger, the thing that younger people need to remember is that you only really start to have or notice problems around the age of 40.

2% salt is what quantity for a pint or quart, for example...an actual measurement (teaspoon, ect.) would be helpful

[@pzhlucia]

2% salt of the total weight (vegetable + water). For example, 20 gram of salt for 1 kg of vegetable + water. As to in teaspoon/quart/pint, use an online converter. Different types of salt can have different volumes, so it's best to measure everything in weight using a scale.

[@RedDragon-eh8hx]

Good that you are now listening and are ready not to be a slave to your cravings - it’s the “bad” microbes that do that to us. If you gradually make changes you will lose your taste for the favourite, I’m guessing sweet foods. I was a hardened chocoholic for years but now I have the occasional piece of 85-90% dark chocolate and don’t give a second thought to any other kind. The thing is change can’t be forced, it has to be the right time for it to work and it looks like you are there or nearly there. It might take a while to adjust but keep at it and you will feel better for the change. Best wishes for fewer health issues.

[@schattenskorpion]

I feel the problem with what he is saying is that his advice is mostly meant for people who misunderstand things, want a simple way out or don't do enough research. Restricting calories and eating enough protein are good things, people just do them wrong and do them instead of doing other, important things. I've seen caloric restriction work in many of my friends, who have kept the weight off and are now in great shape. I've also seen and personally experienced how much protein intake effects muscle growth, and muscle mass is heavily associated with lifespan (again, a simplified statement that would need context, but it's hard to always mention everything). Could it be that he purposely tries to make "controversial" statements, that go against the popular advice, because he has a book to sell and wants to garner attention? In his defense, he does is in a way where he is almost never saying anything that's untrue, but I get the feeling he is sometimes unnecessarily focusing on the wrong things.£ One example: He says too much protein is bad, then says about 1 gram per kg is a good amount, more if you want to gain muscle. That's what most people say, that IS the popular advice. He then states "if you have 100g of protein in the morning, that's too much", but anyone who has tried doing that knows how terrible it feels, it's obviously too much and not what reasonable people recommend. The bad advice is not "eat enough protein", the bad advice would be "eat as much protein as possible" and that is not what the majority of fitness people are saying. He's not wrong in saying "there is such a thing as too much protein" but he is misconstruing it a little by making it seem as if people are downing 100g of protein powder multiple times a day. I don't think that advice in particular is valuable.

[@bellathemusicaddict]

You summed up exactly how I feel about his interviews here in DOAC - he makes statements based on the „average“ human or the less educated individual that hasn’t done their research and believe all the marketing stuff out there. I personally have benefitted greatly from counting calories and increasing my protein intake, as well as doing more exercise 😊

Because if you say something bad about a sponsor, then you'll not be featured in the podcast. DOAC has said in the past that they've had some podcasts they felt that didn't add value to the viewers, so they haven't released those. I'm starting to think there's something else going on...

[@PrzybyszzMatplanety]

Tim Spector commented very clearly on Twitter that the research on Huel is low, our bioms never evolved to work with fluid food alone and it's better to stay away from such things and eat natural, substantial food only. He also smuggled in other podcast of DoaCEO that there are no magical bottle diets to keep you well fed and healthy. What else do you want?

I became a vegetarian in 1985, a vegan in 2003 and started to follow a macrobiotic diet since 2006. All I can say is that Tim Spector is pretty much right in most of what he says. However nothing is new here. For myself all I can state is that I'm now in my late 50ties, I'm fitter than most people I know even younger ones. I haven't seen a doctor since I'm 16 and the only time I began to feel unwell was when a friend talked me into trying a paleo (lots of meat) diet. Whatever anyone is eating, don't eat stuff you can't replicate at home, contain loads of preservatives, stabilisers, enzymes, artificial sweetners, colors and so forth. Unprocessed is still best! Yes, everyone has something to sell and Steven usually flogs a protein shake on his channel, I wouldn't touch that ever for example.

[@mad_pat]

Wow, SO MUCH revelaling information in an 1.5 long conversation, I'm so grateful to have found your channel! Thank you for inviting the whole range of amazing guests that make me re-think all over again my dietary choices, even though I've been convinced for years that I eat very healthy (which I do BUT... there are still some 'buts'. Say, I've been eating the same all the time and preparing protein pancakes for breakfast - while the topping is always healthy: yogurt (always looking for the least processed ones and preferably lactose free), fruits (my guts accept only kiwi, papaya and raspberries...), sone nuts/peanutr butter, the pancake is made of egg whites and protein powder. I've been struggling with gut problems for years (mostly because of ED/anorexia and the impact it left on my overall condition) and a dietitian once suggested I should try to give up on the protein powder for the sake of my intestine - even though I always choose whey isolate. Don't wanna replace it with flour, even gluten free ones, as my body does not really like it (if I ever happen to ocassionally ead bread, even made of 2-3 ingredients and no wheat, it makes me feel bad) so... should I try to make a simple egg whites omlette instead? I might actually be eating a bit too much protein so I'm not worried about deficiency, I'm just used to making the pancakes as it became an easy, quick morning routine, but... Do you know if there's actually any scientific reasearch proving that long-term use of whey protein might be messing up with our guts? Maybe you could tacke the issue in one of your episodes with some knowledgable guest? :) Thank you once again for spreading knowledge and love! 🫶

Seeds to me are odd to eat for nutrients. They are designed to pass through intact and if not as soon as they are in a moist environment the start to absorb nutrients in order to start to grow (obviously not in us long enough to physically grow) does it take nutrients instead of give them up? It’s designed to take not give via evolution of seeds .

Same here, after having my life destroyed by antidepressants, and getting off them using diet and supplements - especially vit D with K2, he is saying that what he has found out is that certain microbes can make antidepressants more effective. Huge red flag! Also, people with out a gallbladder struggle absorb fat soluble vitamins.

[@acebilbo]

I do take most of my supplements and sometimes even food by checking how much with muscle testing. Took me a year to become sensitive to the measurement. It is interesting how different the amounts can be day to day. Normally, there is consistency. Everyone is different in who they are. Pay attention to your own body.

[@JulesEvansNutrition]

Vitamin D...Omega 3.... His explanations were really limited. Vit D from the sun would be a great thing if 1) we had any :) 2) we were all sat under it exactly at 12:00, with perfect UV balance with our bodies fully being able to absorb it, etc. ) ...Omega 3 got my blood boiling hah

[@kylerkonnor6461]

Also, as you age your skin becomes less and less adept at producing vitamin D. I think absorption becomes less efficient as well. John Campbell on KZbin has a few videos very good videos about vit D. A recent one with a guest doctor was excellent. I highly recommend.

I'm really sorry if this comes across as being confrontational, as that is not my intention (and you could also argue that I shouldn't have clicked on this video if I find it triggering 😋) - but doing the opposite of so many of these rules saved my life from anorexia 😊. The world of diet culture can feel so complicated and overwhelming sometimes; but the biggest lesson I have learned from this journey, is that health is so indiviualised - and sometimes, the healthiest thing to do is heal your relationship with those foods. Everybody and every body is different, and do what makes you feel happy, fulfilled and free 😊. Sorry again to preach, hope this isn’t TMI 🤭

[@ThePlaiibox]

I don't think you understood the video then. Obviously it's not aimed At anorexics where, I'm assuming, not enough calories are being consumed full stop. Rather it's suggesting you ensure that the calories you do consume are of high quality and dense in nutrition. I.e eating meats, whole foods, fish, vegetables rather than readymeals, high processed pastas, and "foods" with more than 5 ingredients etc. Whether a recovering anorexic or not, I'd have thought the logic was still sound, you're just probably targeting more calories in order to put weight on? So just eat more of the good stuff and less of the cancer-feeding high sugar foods that take up your calories but not provide actual nutrition. I.e rather than eating a tube of pringles, have a grass-fed steak. Just a thought.

[@helendennis7662]

That’s the whole point of the video, and Tim Spector’s work, and indeed all the other enlightened and educated doctors who are saying the same thing - it’s not about unrealistic “diets” that you go on and fall off, it’s about eating healthier all the time. And not for weight loss for vanity’s sake but for health, actually living longer because you eat real foods - who’d have thought it 🤯

[@Theqpom]

Every gut biome and every neurological make up is different. Figure out what works for you in a stress free way and work with what works best for you. Be open to new information and different perspectives, that is what real science and knowledge is built upon. Let go of our egos and the feeling that there is only one way, there isn’t.

I used it in the early 2000’s, but I started having joint pain, and I had a difficult time concentrating because of brain fog and headaches. When someone told me the side affects of it, I stopped it immediately, and it all went away. It frustrates me that other countries don’t allow certain ingredients in their products that come from the US, but the US still feeds it to us, knowing that it’s not healthy or safe. I’m glad those countries look out for their people though. Keeping people fat and sick keeps big businesses rich.

I have an insatiable appetite for such learning, follow the science and love to hear the the scientific/ medical experts to use the info for my own life and to help my clients! Thank you so much for this valuable sharing!!

I see what you did there. Dr Tim and you gave us our just desserts.

[@iwonaczech5750]

Fermented food is extremely popular in my country. To make the preparation easier for you, dissolve 1 big spoon of salt in one litre of boiling water and fill the jar up. You may add garlic, bay leaf, allspice, caraway and mustard seeds if you like and voila! Wait 3 weeks and enjoy!

I’m curious to know what Tim Spector thinks of Huel, one of the sponsors of this video 🤔

[@kiely4561]

I think we already know the answer to that which is why Steven didn’t mention it lol

[@livingwholeandwell]

I appreciate to hear someone speak about how overhyped protein is. As a Dietitian I always queried this. Because 15% of your calories need to be proteins, and like he mentioned a lot of our grains already have protein in them. Yet because of big pharma we are eating more protein than we need.

[@gbolt111]

Not true. We are eating too much crap protein, from plants. Most of it does not have essential amino acids. And then meat is demonized when it basically has everything you need.

[@laylamaria1457]

Thank you for this content. I feel so much gratitude for all this in depth interviews.

[@vladimirlabudovic9115]

In Serbia and Montenegro (probably other countries as well) our grandparents and our parents used to make and making even today fermented vegetables, carots, cabbage, green tomatoes, cauliflower etc and we are calling this product "turšija". For centuries they knew about this process.

[@zoezigzag3067]

Please just make the Zoe test affordable and accessible to normal people who don’t have surplus funds after paying bills to afford it, i have a passion for learning about nutrition and bettering my body and mind and id absolutely love the opportunity to do the test!

[@ruthie2222]

You don’t need any ‘tests’ use your own intuition. It’s quiet easy to get healthy.

[@Obatala_Vibez]

Agree with both comments, but paying up cost you less in the long run. I am still saving up for my tests but in the meantime researched my problems and changed my diet to go along with it. Only want my test done to make sure I’ve covered all areas and know what am allergic to etc

[@sarahbarton2089]

​i am celiac and they can't accept me on the Zoe program atm. Such a shame. Hurry up Zoe.

[@helendennis7662]

When I think of how much I’ve wasted on supplements over the years I think I can save up for the Zoe test. That said, will the test results change what I’m doing? Which is being much more mindful of what I eat and when, cutting out the processed junk, sugar, refined carbs…probably not. So it’s going to be something I do for my own curiosity but actually until I can afford it I’m still going to do what Tim recommends. If I’m not sure how I’ll respond to a food I can observe how I feel in myself. But I use Glucose Goddess hacks as well as TRE and longer fasts as per Dr Mindy Pelz and I eat according to Dr William Li! All information I got for free from YT podcasts or their own websites.

[@tiaraayim4239]

I'm glad in Poland fermented veggies like sauerkraut, cucumbers and others were always a staple. My diet is 100% plant based and blood tests always perfect yet- I don't really ferment foods myself. Will definitely begin now! Thank you for this great knowledge 🌱❤

[@rogerp6903]

An excellent discussion on very important nutrients and being aware of those highly processed ingredients in every day foods, Thanks for sharing

[@DrLWesthuizen]

Great information! This has come at a timely point in my life as I've have looked after my body and health for a few years, but are falling back to old habits. At 70 I am still healthy, but want to keep it for at least 10+ years. Some queries in my health and doing tests, but need to immediate convert back to looking after my health and myself enjoying my last phase of life on earth.

[@sueleitch6396]

Thank you for all your interviews with these wonderful guests, and thank you for your contribution to people in general.

[@tinaj1772]

This really helped my pain. And I feel mentally better, too!👍🏾👏🏾🥰Thank you 🙏🏾

[@rosemarythyme8595]

This is fascinating. I’ve always wondered how kimchi was made. This is a great video. This is one of my favorite videos I’ve watched of yours.❤

[@DJRapOfficial]

Please please do more buying foods and asking if it’s healthy - bin or no to bin- this was so useful I wish there was a whole episode on it ! Thank you 🙏

[@merlion6613]

I knew about benefits of eating fermented food, but never of why. I love Kimchi, Miso and Natto alongside other types of pickles, thanks to my family who fed them to us growing up.

[@Gingerinthesouth]

This was such a great episode! Thanks Dr Tim! I loved the visuals !!

[@janelaing2866]

A brilliant podcast and you asked some brilliant questions especially regarding canine dietry requirement which I have always been concerned about. Thank you both! 😊

[@mitchellgillen5984]

When fermenting anything it is important that the salt is sea salt and not table salt with anti-caking agents. Also, water quality counts too, as tap water will inhibit fermentation due to the presence of chlorine and fluoride. Use spring water.

[@alexandermacneil4430]

I've recently made the switch to a low carb whole foods diet (including making my own sauces, dressings etc.) with a focus on improving daily fiber intake and omega 3 fatty acids (average western diet has a negative ratio of omega 6: omega 3s in which the latter in larger amounts leads to inflammation). I'm eating more fermented food now daily (not going overboard of course) such as sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles, full-fat greek yogurt (the more sour the better), pickled ginger aka sushi ginger, aged cheese etc. I've also added flaxseed (grounded), and other seeds into my diet (chia seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds etc.). I'm eating more nuts (pecan, almonds, walnuts etc.) as well but keeping a watch on portion sizes (nuts are PACKED with calories). I plan to look into and possibly add kefir and expanding my diet. Your body over time, your taste buds, will adapt to the new foods you are eating. You will be surprised after a few weeks that you no longer hate the taste of food X. You will start craving food you never used to eat nor liked and that's the influence microbes in your gut/digestive system has on a person when you start feeding them particular foods they crave!

[@taniamarshall9327]

Thanks Steven! I really like the basic questions to ask. Keeps it simple and understandable.☺️ This is good because there is too much info out there and confusing!!😏

[@danthemansmith6095]

I am a so-called black man and I have eaten only plants for 7 years and I feel amazing! I do take a potassium supplement, D3 and a sublingual magnese. I feel like a dynamo and then some! Great information and thank you for sharing this information.

[@l-islanddreams5359]

I'm obsessed with this channel, but information can drive so many people confused and crazy because everyone who is being interviewed here are experts in their area or strongly stand by what they are saying. I don't think there is any one way, it's all about you as an individual and what are the impacts your choices are having on you. I do thoroughly enjoy all the information shared and testing out what more aligns with me.

[@ilkeadrall710]

Of course there isn't any one way about food. In fact until some 50 years ago most of people eat healthy. Likely Mediterranian and Indian cultures have been the most praised on this stuff but the starting points are always the same ... - whole food, locally bought or planted or ..., homemade, processed at home, you eat it at home, .. - broad range of food you pick up from earth (vegetables, herbs, lentles, mushrooms, ...) - fats: oil, animal fat, ... - proteins ... very very little. - small portions. - No snacking, you eat three times ... kids four times. And between meals for sure 6 hours. - And getting older accepting that ... if you are 60 yo you cannot eat as you did even though at 45 and so at 20, ... Mediterranian love carbs but always with those from-earth edibles.

[@AmaWinter]

The difference of opinion is refreshing. Through his channel we are finally having these conversations. We are listening to information from experts backed up by data rather than the recent trend of false information from self-proclaimed gurus. x

[@mbach003]

That's y u take in info and do what's best for u. It's educational

[@wayneoftheweb]

Well, that is a big part of what Tim advises. We all react differently to food, the Zoe website has that at the forefront of its campaign and tests how your body reacts to different foods. Tim uses epidemiology and other studies to form his advice, if a study proved he was wrong he'd happily follow the science and his advice would change. He has even talked about this. Other people certainly become very stubborn with their opinions, partially as they have staked their career on them.

[@ilkeadrall710]

@@wayneoftheweb No, ... human beings with an average health react quite the same to food. Food contains 95% of C,H,O for our bodies. Since maybe 40 years ago people eat not to live but to have pleasure so people eat much more than needed and this surplus is just poison ... and then ... so many unhealthy issues have blow up ... but nothing to do with reactions ...

[@ilkeadrall710]

I appreciate people like this doctor trying to teach everybody on whole food. Anything he explains ... my grannies, aunties, mum taught me. For thousands of years Mediterranian, Indian cultures, ... have been very wise on the processing of food at home until maybe some 15 - 20 years ago. Since then things are changing very quickly too. And yes in those cultures, fibre and very little proteins are paramount. Besides, Mediterranian culture loves carbs like pasta, bread, rice, cakes, ... of course ... homemade. Don't forget ... it's our choice.

[@juliag7361]

Mediterranian not only loves pasta but also MEAT and FISH. That stuff is not just protein and fat but also full of nutients.

[@stacyjones-erickson3147]

And yes, our choice but when you think about healthcare costs should I be paying for someone who chooses not to take care if their health? The govt needs to run by people who who truly care about it’s people not it’s lobbyists corporations! People before Profits!!
