Why being a young ambitious country killed our health

What is the sign of a wealthy nation?

Gold? Guns? Tik Tok stars?

Nope.

The dinner plate.

After the great depression, farmers were asked to do the seemingly impossible for Americans…

We wanted access to more steak. We can’t wait for more fried chicken. My kids need eggs to start off their day.

And farmers delivered.

And while the demand grew it was simultaneously killing off the farmer who cared about the animals and the quality when delivered to a customer.

Easier.

Cheaper.

Faster.

Corporations bought out small family farms consolidating flocks and herds while eliminating competition.

And they did what corporations do which is maximize profit while minimizing costs.

With RUTHLESS efficiency.

Who cares if pigs can’t stand up under their own weight?

Who cares if chickens boil in their own blood and feces as long as it increases their for sale weight by 30%?

Meanwhile we are all paying the price as “greased palms” look the other way while sick and diseased animals are packaged next to the healthy ones.

When are we going to stop paying the price?!?!

It’s your decision to do what’s best for your health.

Start your whole food plant based diet journey where you only have to worry about a little dirt on your carrots.

I will take that trade every day of the week.
