...chief among them is a sound and strong body and mind.

Absolutely. This is where we all should start. Looking back even as recently as the WWI generation, it's amazing how much we've devolved. We are not as fully human as they were.

I don’t interact with many people, but I do try to search out the few open minded people that show a willingness to think. The one thing that these people have in common is not age or gender or race or “education” level, but a vibrant mind. The conversations we have are open and varied. The topics run the gamut from the natural world to society today. Somewhere in the mix of conversations, nutrition comes up. Almost without exception, these vibrant minds have a holistic diet, or are on the path of moving towards one. The brain is an organ, and it is a voracious one. No other organ has the energy demands of the brain. How is this organ to function properly without the proper fuel? Does a car run without petrol? Do you put low grade fuel into an exotic sports car?

Eating single ingredient foods only solves 99% of nutrition issues. Unfortunately, that solution is too simple for most people.

Unfortunately, we live in a time when convenience is king. Processed food is really just “value added products”. Take low cost single ingredients, then process, package and brand them into a reformulated product that offers convenience to the consumer, but much more importantly, much higher profit margins for the producer. For a glaring example, look at the commodity cost of the inputs(corn, rice, sugar) of children’s sugary cereals, and then the end cost. By weight, these sugary cereals can reach an end cost of a fillet steak. The inputs can be so low cost, that the packaging of the box they are in exceeds them. After a lifetime of being poisoned by this processed “convenience food”, Pharma is more than happy to profit from keeping the victims alive just a bit longer in their misery….

Absolutely. The entire "healthcare" system is incentivized to keep people sick so that they keep coming back for more. And since the vast vast majority of doctors went along with the gene therapy debacle, only a fool would trust any sort of mainstream medical advice.
