It has been a really rough not-even-a-year-yet year for my family, and I'm really grateful for everyone's support during all this. My platform has always been about helping everyone I can as a person who knows disability and financial struggles (despite the haters claiming I'm in some corporate/government pocket), and it feels weird and helpless being the one needing help. #health #wellness

Enriching food with synthetic vitamins is actively saving lives in impoverished areas of the world. Now synthetic vitamins don't absorb as well as getting them from whole foods (this is because the whole food comes with enzymes and other things that help with absorption), so getting your nutrition from whole foods is always going to be better when you can. But that enriched white flour is not making you fat just because it has vitamins in it. And if you don't absorb it it just ends up in your poop, not your fat. #food #nutrition #wellness #vitamins

Canada has a possible tariff on incoming US dairy exports if they exceed a certain amount, an amount the US has never actually hit. This is to protect our dairy industry from being overrun by the US dairy industry, a common practice for countries. #trump #misinformation #fearmongering #disinformation #canada

People really wanted me to try Barebell protein bars. So I did. #protein #proteinbars #food #proteinsnack

My content isn't really getting pushed and I've been in the doldrums especially with the truck repair, so have some guitar practice. #guitar #music #practice

Chickpeas are definitely not what are making people unhealthy. In fact I daresay if more people ate chickpeas (and other legumes) people would be MORE healthy. But as the vast majority of the Western population doesn't get enough fiber in a day, a very high fiber meal may cause gastric bloating (as well as gastric emptying). It's like if you dumped a bag of dogfood on the floor for your dog - they can't possibly eat it all in a timely manner. Also watch out I used 'they' as a singular pronoun; I'm such a rebel. #food #health #guthealth #fiber #wellness

Courtney Swan loves to fearmonger chemicals (while walking around a grocery store with her $3000 purse), but does she actually know what any of them are? We've never said that chemicals in glyphosate are the same as those in fruit. We've said that everything is a chemical and you need to understand what that chemical is and how it actually affects you. You can't just look at a big word and think that it's scary. Many of the chemicals we required to live are also lethal at various doses, or if you inhale them instead of digest them - and a lot of studies showing consequences of various chemicals are from people working with them and INHALING them all day long. But weaponized ignorance is the best friend of a conartist. If they keep you ignorant of a what a chemical is, the easier it is to sell you something. #chemicals #wellness #health #food #nutrition

Lead, cadmium, mercury are all things found throughout our world and thus will interact with things in our world. They're going to be found in the soil you grow your garden in, and those plants are going to absorb some, and eventually you will eat it. Now that's not to say we shouldn't endeavour to reduce our intake of these things, but the idea of avoiding them is impossible and you truly have to look at the dose. Also don't eat toothpaste. #health #wellness #chemicals #mercury #lead #toxic
