The key to surviving the landfill economy is to reject almost everything it offers. It takes effort because the excess is crazy. Stick to the basics - real food, well-made clothing and furniture, and simple pleasures. The madness of consumerism feels like living in an insane asylum. I just visited a friend who has been on Ozempic for over a year. She lost 70 pounds (probably mostly muscle) and has the classic concentration camp face. She seemed to be wearing stronger glasses too. I was silently horrified, and she was euphoric.
I read the entire article. Excellent advice, although I don't do it to the same clinical exactness that you describe. Good sleep, vitamins, clean diet, Pickleball, weights, stretching, surrounding myself with people of robust sanity, no pharmaceuticals, recognizing propaganda, self-awareness, contentment, spending 3 months in the summer at a cabin on a lake, organic food, low chaos threshold and avoiding excess - I believe sets me above most of the population when it comes to living well.
Substack now an annoying filter each time I want to comment on all of my subscriptions, all of which are paid : I have to check my email for a code before I can comment; I'm suspicious. I have been thinking of pulling out of some. I will be glad to switch to your own platform and cancel the SS. Until then, I'll suffer the annoyance
I enjoy reading each of your essays. I sense your heart in every one, even the snark. All points very well taken. The evidence this time is "Amazing Grace".
I mentioned this in the last post by GC, I agree it's absolutely annoying but know that you do not suffer alone. I also mentioned it didn't happen when I went onto New World Humor posts, alas I spoke too soon. If I try and use my phone to answer a message in substack now, as I sometimes did, it takes me straight to the Substack app!! This is where my Taurean stubbornness kicks in ( I didn't realize I had that streak until all of this) and I revert to my tablet and like a naughty schoolchild wait for my code to put in to access it.
when the white hating JFK announced the fitness program we never understood it. I was 12 years old living in Bklyn NY around 3 million people and seeing a fat person was as rare as seeing bigfoot. all my friends and I ran around like lunatics played a lot of sports in the street. we were skinny but rock hard. they put the fitness test in gym class you had to do an numbered amount of situps pushups pull ups etc. and climb a rope to the top muscle your way up and down. we laughed at the tests and thought they were for girls except the rope was the hardest but not for us
The gummies description was great. Laughed out loud.
Sugar is a powerful substance. Very addictive. Also quite poisonous when consumed in excess. I'm glad to say I eventually got clued in about this and resolved to eat healthier. Big improvements in multiple aspects of health and quality of life.

A true quote that is new to me, and profound at that. The only deadly sin that merely requires a passing glance in public? Now I'm seeing Kevin Spacey's face in the back of the car from Seven. That's not good.
Welcome back to the flock, Chris. I appreciate your support.
Yeah man, Iβve been with you for years, under one name or another, as the purse permitted. Now thereβs extra principle. Appreciate your work, and keep that rear view mirror clean.
Ozempic, if approved by experts then that's the biggest red flag going, we all know it's going to go badly wrong for those looking for an easier way out over self control and the eventual fallout will be horrendous. If that's what mother and daughter Osbournes have been on, it looks mighty horrendous already to me. Soon it will be welcome to the USA land of white walking sticks and guide dogs.
Thank you Good Citizen for writing another article about a serious situation and injecting it with your dose of good humour, over injecting anything else. Besides, I'm sure laughter helps burn a calorie or two.
My mum and dad lived through WWII when the ration book dictated how much food you could eat. In the UK, food rations didn't end until 1954. Average body weight was thinner than the usual thin body weight and people were, in general, healthier and fitter. As long as she was alive, my mother always kept a full pantry of non-perishable food, tins mostly, "just in case there was another war."
Fat bodies, once a rarity, slowly crept in. They had to as walking was painful. XXXL became more and more common. Now, when I look around and see oversize parents with their oversize children struggling down the street blocking the way, I see the end of civilization. Sadly, I've noticed more fat young people than old. It used to be the other way round. But since "fat shaming" became a thing and "big and beautiful" became a marketing cry, it's been fine to have obesity on the cover of Sports Illustrated and going to the gym a "far-right fascist" activity.
I watched a very big and beautiful person climb into the driver's seat of a BMW 3 series and wondered how he would operate the vehicle, or handle a sudden turn. His big and beautiful partner climbed in the passenger side and the suspension of the car was put to the test as everything sunk closer to the tarmac. Thank God for German engineering.
The Italians had the answer in the 1950s and served the hungry workers extra-strong espresso in the morning and throughout the day to increase their speed and curb their hunger thus saving on food and the costs incurred.
But now, I doubt coffee will help. How will slow, fat, sick, medically addicted and physically dependent people fare against the hungry and fit "boat people" pouring into the western world?
There is also the very annoying having to sign in a 100 times a day with Substack, I don't know if everyone has that. Glad to see you will avoid the censorship and looking forward to your own, independent web site. Thank you for doing this, you are on the waiting list but I still got way too many paid subscriptions. Should get better next year (but I have been thinking this for 3 years now). It is just getting too expensive to subscribe paid to everyone I like.
As to the weight - mom used to say every pound goes through the mouth. Eat less, eat healthier, eat more at home and go out less to restaurants where they add all kind of stuff to food. Stop eating bagged stuff (chips, candy) and consuming sugary drinks, but even then you might not lose all the unwanted pounds. Been eating healthy for years but only lose pounds when sick (last time from meds a doc prescribed me - unable to eat for 14 days - blood sugar med and I am not diabetic!)
Fruit 'n veg isles occupy little of the store, row after row of 'snacks' and carbonated, aspertame-laden, sweetners, mysterious 'E' additives and 'vitamin fortifications' added by Cereal Killers. Cakes, biscuits, chocalates and neon 'Slush' drinks dispensed via vending machines - how anyone would find bright blue and pink liquid appetising baffles me. Cans. Bisphenal-A in recycled sewage water, all the SSRI medications, chemo waste - contribute to depletion of bio-logical intelligence. Plus the constant heavy spraying overhead of nanoparticulates heavy metals and chemicals.
The psyche meds trick the brain into 'hunger' signals despite having eaten sufficiently, the gut craves nutrition - wobblies are mal-nourished. Pizza, takeways in general and growth hormones in farmed animals. All contributory factors, promoted heavily via TV as 'healthy'. McDonnie's burgers are as rubber padding, settling in hips and thighs for life non-biodegradable. Then gross 'big bottoms' promoted as sexy.
I've never been overweight or dieted. Simple rule: don't put it in if it hasn't first 'come out'. Even a slice of toast with eggs, I'm done with eating for a day. Slow metabolism. Fast active metabolism burns excess up, requiring greater more frequent meals. Gardening, sports, anything in nature, stimulates healthy appetite.
Some truly gross wobblers abound, and wonder 'what happened'? Especially in the young - synthetic hormones, metals, chemicals. Microwaves! Ready Meals! Convenient parenting. Jabbed with whatever, multiple times from infancy. Operations to staple the stomach were a thing, liposuction, another to compensated for the excess baggage and heart problems.
..."Ask your President if persistent nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gastroparesis (digestive failure), acid reflux, abdominal pain, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, loss of lean muscle mass, digestive problems even after discontinuation, and blindness are right for you!"...thank the Heavens there is a big pharma chemical fix for most of these afflictions. You are not deemed healthy by the medial mafia until you are taking at least 12 prescriptions a day.
Watched an American get their backpack checked at TSA (totally safe again) recently. Most carry-ons have a lap top or books etc. This guy had three ziplock bags filled with orange bottles. Wasn't fit but not ginormous either. One bottle leads to four leads to sixteen when people don't now that is the system.
'Hereβs the most fascinating aspect of this never-before moment in human history: Not a single biologist, sociologist, behavioral economist, or anthropologist has written a book about what happens to a society enduring βhedonic dysregulationβ in the saturation of surpluses of Time, Money, and Calories concurrently (as a unified framework) across a large demographic strata....'
Funnily enough, I recognized this issue about 30 years ago, saw that no one was covering it, and set out to write a novel exploring it and the threat it poses. I'm not an academic in any sense, but the evidence is all around and I was able to work with what I saw.
Here's a link to the Amazon page for reference, but I'm happy to send you a free copy, GC:
Key quote: 'βWith the body, those changes are obvious to the eye in the form of weight change, poor health and general dissipation. But what happens to the brain is much less obvious and much easier to disguise, often remaining all but invisible to the outside observer. The damage and negative consequences, however, are every bit as grievous as those that happen to the body.'
Funny thing, how if you asked alot of people today, they would contend they are busier beyond belief. "Not enough hours in the day", is that the expression? I live in a fairly densely populated area, and 90% plus of people have not a care for whats going on around them, cutting you off in traffic, constantly on the phone, i mean they are so super important and busy, there fellow citizens are just in the way. There tons of old retired boomer cons here also, most are rude assholes that would run you over with there car, and there shopping cart down the aisles. impatient, fidgety yet they sre retired and I imagine have no schedule to follow, aside from there 600 doctors appointments to go to.
Fortunately, as a boomer, I donβt have all those appointmentβs! Iβm in my mid 60βs but when doctors wouldnβt listen to ME about MY body, almost 5 years ago, I went off all the meds I had been on for almost 20 years if not longer, after learning and feeling they were doing more harm then good!
I prefer acupuncture and (when my stupid right hip improves after an exercise injury) I have been drinking water for over 35 years a minimum of 3 liters a day. When I mention this to others, the response I receive is, you must be in the bathroom all the time! Not after that many years because your body uses it then you flush out toxins!
I have been thinking outside the box for years, but, alas, I was busy with a daughter trying to prepare her for life!
Anything that describes itself as not politically correct gets my vote. Tried to get it, finally realized why even using verification code didn't work, it's .com not . UK. Hopefully it is available over here when I look later on. I admit I prefer physical books but do use kindle for cheapness if I'm unsure of certain books or for some fiction. Fingers crossed as not all books available elsewhere can be got here. " "Windswept House" by Malachi Martin being a prime example.
Worked brilliantly, thanks so much. I went for the kindle option, if it strikes me as one I can lend out I will get a physical copy. I'm not a James Bond fan but the write up didn't strike me like that really, more like "Anthrax Island" which I bought a physical copy of after reading on kindle.
It beat "Anthrax Island" hands down. You have great talent and the one thing I love that is sadly missing in nearly all modern day writer's, that's the ability to describe in detail. I know exactly what Buchan sees wherever he goes, I know what he looks like, his ideas on life and what he feels, I know he's the kind of man that's also sadly missing these days. The kind of guy that non feminist women like myself prefer.
Same goes for Commanding Officer codename Mainstay. His description of how he feels about the English Government and MI6 was perfection. The only thing I didn't like, was to realise, that this was your only book.
Humbled by this, Veronica. You have made my day. Many thanks! The good news is that a sequel is in the works, though it will be a few years before it comes out.
I don't own a cell phone and don't use the app. Every post to which I subscribe comes in via email. While I cannot always "continue reading" a post unless I scan a QR code, it is not much of a loss. After nearly 4 years, I think I have had to resign in once, so, it seems the app is the problem.
They're desperately trying to herd everyone onto the app. Even I don't use it and prefer the site in my brave browser. The digital nudging is a nuisance.
My personal site will be up soon. I'll send out a post on what's happening early in the new year. Threats of a class action suit making the rounds as substack and stripe pilfer creators' ability to run for what many people is their only business. Waiting to see if Substack reverses course or commits seppuku. Either way I'm building a new home for my writing.
I know when you say the society is overloaded with money you mean EBT food stamps etc cause the regular working people barely have enough money. the fattest people are the "poor" people with knee grow females the fattest of all and white women a close second. the video of amazing grace you have here is sung by Judy Collins who was put on the earth to sing that song so beautifully it could raise the dead. Judy Collins is Amazing Grace

Does that mean 3 years of gluttony and 1 of losing it as fast as possible or the other way round?
