RE: Create the Problem, Sell the Solution

Congrats on your good results! Giving the body the proper nutrition to run smoothly is crucial.
A pretty good rule of thumb is "eat what's not being advertised". Have you seen adverts for apples or avocados? I doubt it. I spent more than a decade in the corporate world namely the FMCG market. Look at the shelves and the sizes certain categories occupy. That tells you a lot of what's going on behind the scenes. A handful of companies decide what you eat once you enter a supermarket. More so, private labels are more often than not produced by the same big corps ;)

Thank you Krisz! I was a little worried after starting to consume more red meat, butter, and cheese that it would skew my metrics in the wrong direct but it had the opposite effect. Product placement and marketing are huge! Also, especially here in the U.S., they include ingredients that change our gut microbiome and get us addicted to certain things like sugar, salt, and refined carbs. It's not much different than Big Tobacco using science to make cigarettes more addictive. It's all about the bottom line and one industry (Food) eventually feeds another (Big Pharma). What saddens me is how many small organic brands are getting gobbled up by mega corps, and they're doing it so quietly and sneakily. I just recently discovered a brand I've been buying for years, Annie's, was gobbled up by General Mills in 2014. I had no idea!

Pay the farmer now, or pay pharma later ...
