They convinced you that sun, salt and fat will kill you. Then they got rich selling you the cure! Between 1976 and 2026, obesity rates tripled while you followed the rules.
Here are 7 lies that created an epidemic:
1. Fat makes you fat! Every cell in your body is wrapped in fat. Your brain is mostly fat. Your hormones are built from fat. Yet they told you that fat is making you sick and convinced you to swap it for low-fat foods loaded with sugar. When fat intake fell, obesity and diabetes exploded. The real danger was never fat; it was a goldmine. They stripped away natures fuel, replaced it with cheap carbs from corn and soy and created ADDICTION.
2. Red meat causes cancer! They lumped grass-fed steak in with hot dogs and deli slices, then told you it would shave years off your life. Humans thrived on meat for THOUSANDS of years. Long before obesity, diabetes and heart disease, we ate meat DAILY. The real danger was never meat; it was the processed junk that replaced it. Demonizing meat wasn’t about protecting your health; it was about creating a population hooked on cheap grains.
3. Sunlight causes cancer! Sunlight boosts immunity, balances hormones and lifts mood, strengthens bones, and extends life. Zero cost. Zero side effects. You would take it every day. No pill exists for it. They told you to fear it and lather on sunscreen. Sunscreen is packed with hormone disruptors, and toxic chemicals that block Vitamin D production. It is not about your health; it is about profit.
4. Breakfast is the most important meal! For most of human history, breakfast did not exist. People rose with the sun, worked, hunted, and ate when food was available, often not until midday or evening. Then you were convinced that skipped cereal would wreck your health. The real danger is not skipping breakfast; it was nonstop eating. Cereal companies needed to turn cheap grains into gold, so they told you to start every day with sugar in a box!!
5. The war on cholesterol! Half the people who die of heart attacks have normal cholesterol. Those with higher cholesterol often live longer, especially as they age. Yet you were told this vital molecule is a ticking time bomb. The real danger was never cholesterol, it was INFLAMMATION. Cholesterol is the raw material for your hormones, brain function, and cell repair. Instead of addressing diet and lifestyle, they put millions on drugs that deplete it!! Created a billion-dollar market for lifelong customers
6. Fluoride protects your teeth! This is a marketing spin! A way to dump industrial waste without paying to filter it out. Linked to thyroid disruption, lowering IQ, and bone damage at high doses!
7. Salt raises Blood pressure! They told you that salt will destroy your heart and convinced you to eliminate it from your diet. Meanwhile, populations eating high-salt diets for centuries had low hypertension rates. Then processed food and sugar entered the picture! Everything changed. The real danger was NEVER SALT; it was mineral deficiency. While you feared salt, they pushed sugar, seed oils, and processed junk, the actual drivers of heart disease. The salt scare was not protection, it was misdirection.
You are not sick; you are nutrient deficient! Yet chronic fatigue, brain fog, and depression are almost never treated with nutrition, the deficiency gets labeled as disease and symptoms become a life sentence. There is no profit in magnesium, sunlight, or clean food, they misdiagnose symptoms your body is trying to solve with what it never received, you are not broke, you are depleted.

Subject:I Think She IS Pissed
I don't think pissed really covers it!!!!
Alan Simpson, the Senator from Wyoming calls senior citizens the
Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security " to a Milk Cow
with 310 million teats.
Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think
she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight!!!!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for
FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was
15 years old. I am now 63).
3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other
Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for
decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give
OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus
bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme
that would make Bernie Madoff proud.
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled
the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the
goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and
your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.
5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare
from Day One, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the
game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy
to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to
pay the bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes
our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again.
Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so
profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of
money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more
to pay off YOUR debt.
To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit"
to your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions
for YOU:
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during
your pathetic 50-year political career?
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and
how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the
American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you
proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual,
have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called
Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase
thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from
millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.
And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our
expense, you lunk-headed, leech.
That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole
purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we
know it, and you know that we know it.
And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch. NO, I
did not stutter.
EVERYONE!!!
If you like the way things are in America delete this.
If you agree with what a Montana citizen, Patty Myers, says, please
PASS IT ON!!!!
P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN
INSULT!!!!
I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years “It's my
money”-give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop
patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out
these monthly checks!

Tonight, we light a candle not just for the season, but for the ones we carry in our hearts. 🕯️
For the loved ones who should be here, who once filled our homes with laughter, warmth, and love.
This Christmas may look the same on the outside, but our hearts know who is missing.
So we pause.
We remember.
And we let this small flame remind us that love does not end, even when presence does.
If you’re holding space for someone tonight, you’re not alone.
This candle burns for them… and for you. 🤍🎄

My name’s Tommy. I’m 67.
I spent over forty years crawling through attics, basements, and half-built homes — running wires, fixing circuits, and making sure the lights came on when people flipped the switch.
I never wore a tie to work. My uniform was steel-toe boots and a tool belt.
And you know what? I was proud of that.
Last spring, my grandson asked me to speak at his school’s “Career Morning.”
There were doctors, software engineers, and one fella who said he “worked in fintech” — whatever that means. I was the only one who brought a voltage tester instead of a PowerPoint.
When it was my turn, I told the kids,
“I didn’t go to college. I went to work.
When storms hit and power lines fall, I’m the guy who helps bring your heat back, your lights back, your normal back.”
They all leaned in a little closer.
One kid raised his hand and said, “So… you fix stuff when everyone else is scared to touch it?”
I grinned. “Pretty much.”
Afterward, a quiet boy came up to me.
He said, “My dad’s a mechanic. He gets dirty every day. People tease him for it.”
I looked him straight in the eye and said,
“Son, the world stops without people like your dad. When your car breaks down, no one’s calling an accountant. They’re calling him.”
Here’s the truth I’ve learned after a lifetime of hard work:
The world runs on skilled hands.
It runs on the people who get up early, stay late, and solve the problems no one else sees.
You can build all the apps you want, but when the furnace dies in January — it’s not a diploma that saves you. It’s the person who shows up with a wrench, a flashlight, and the know-how to make it work again.
We’ve spent too long treating trade work like a backup plan, when really, it’s the foundation everything else stands on.
A few weeks later, my grandson’s teacher emailed me. She said,
“That shy boy you spoke to? He’s joining a trade program next year. He said you made him proud of what his dad does.”
And that right there — that made every sore back and late night worth it.
💡 Here’s what I know now:
Not everyone needs a corner office to make a difference.
Some of us build the rooms those offices sit in.
So the next time you ask a kid what they want to be, don’t just ask, “What college are you going to?”
Ask, “What do you want to build? What do you want to fix? What do you want to make work again?”
Because this world will always need more people who can keep the lights on — in every sense of the word.
⚡ Respect the trades. Teach the pride. Celebrate the work that keeps us all going.

✝️❤️🇺🇸 Just to clear the air: I’m a conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler: not every conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles.
1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in the USA.
2. I believe America must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.
3. I believe America should stay out of endless foreign conflicts. We are not the world’s sugar daddy, and we shouldn’t act like it.
4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of.
5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — when they come legally. If your first act in this country is breaking the law, you aren’t an upstanding citizen.
6. You can marry who you want. I may not agree with your lifestyle, but your life is not mine to judge, I leave that to God Almighty. That being said, I am a Christian and suggest everyone read and follow God's word.
7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormones don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.
8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science - not political propaganda. They should not be taught they were “born in the wrong body” or pushed into gender delusion.
9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.
10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights. But I also believe in common sense: background checks are necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill.
I’m a conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way. We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for.
Having copied all this I will say I have one King his name is Jesus and I have one president his name at this time is Donald Trump. I believe we live in the greatest country in the world. I didn't say perfect. I have listened too long to not comment. You may not feel this way, I respect that. Psalm 139 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made, there is not another one like you or me. I won't get into debates just to cut someone down. This as I said was copied, while I may not agree with all I think it is pretty well said. I didn't see a name to give credit to, I received this from a friend.
If you don't have a gun, and even if you do, here's a way to wreck someone's evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat. Wasp Spray -- A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use. On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life. Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School . For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed. Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them." Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades. It's also one he wants everyone to hear If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life. Please share this with all the people who are precious to your life. Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake? And a mouse! It will! Good to know, huh? It will also kill a wasp!!! And best of all, immobilize a human.

Most people have no clue how much danger Tulsi Gabbard is in right now.
She’s not playing politics. She’s putting her life on the line by taking on the Deep State directly. She’s naming names. She’s exposing the rot. And she’s not backing down.
She called out Barack Obama.
Not just as a failed president, but as the architect of a system that has lied to the American people, weaponized federal power, and targeted anyone who dared to get in the way.
Obama used the FBI, CIA, IRS, and DOJ as tools to protect himself and crush his enemies. He gave the green light to spy on Trump. He backed the Russia hoax. He sat at the top while this country was divided, corrupted, and manipulated.
And while the media protects him, Tulsi Gabbard stood up and said what no one else would.
That takes real courage. The kind that comes with a cost.
She knows what she’s up against. The threats aren’t theoretical. They’re real. Political power like this doesn’t go quietly. People who expose it don’t walk away unscathed.
So we pray for her safety. Seriously. Not just thoughts and words, but real prayer. For protection. For strength. For clarity.
Because she is putting everything on the line for the truth. And that makes her a threat to the people who built this broken system. They’ll try to silence her. They’ll try to destroy her reputation. And if that doesn’t work, they’ll try worse.
This is what a real patriot looks like. Not someone reading safe lines off a teleprompter. Not someone raising money off empty slogans. Tulsi Gabbard is out there in the fire, alone, facing down a political machine that has ruined lives and toppled governments.
And she’s doing it with her head held high.
We need more voices like hers. But we also need to protect the few we’ve got.
God bless you, Tulsi.
God guide you.
And God protect you.
The truth matters. The country matters. And so do the brave people who still have the spine to speak up.
“If You’re A Grandparent Whose Lucky”
(a poem for every grandparent)
If you’re lucky,
life gives you a second chance
at holding tiny hands—
this time, with slower steps
and a fuller heart.
It lets you love
without the pressure to be perfect.
To rock them just because,
not just to get them to sleep.
To say yes a little more,
and worry a little less.
If you’re lucky,
you get to see your child
become a parent—
and in their tired eyes,
you remember your own long nights.
And you whisper,
“You’re doing just fine.”
If you’re lucky,
you get to sit on the floor again
(even if it takes longer to get back up).
You get to laugh over nothing,
sing the same song ten times,
and find magic in bubbles and blocks.
You learn that love grows deeper
when it’s stretched across generations.
That time really does fly—
and this time,
you’re holding on tighter.
If you’re lucky,
you’ll be called by a name
only they use—
and it’ll become your favorite sound in the world.
Because it’s not just about
being their grandparent.
It’s about being their soft place.
Their safe arms.
Their story keeper.
If you’re lucky,
you’ll realize that this—
this sacred, simple, ordinary kind of love—
is the very best part of life.
And friend,
if you’re reading this and nodding your head…
I hope you know:
You’re the lucky one.
