This pastor will sign a religious exemption for vaccines if you donate to his church

The headline says it all. God grifting.

Maybe we should support a raise of the minimum wage so poor people don't have to survive off processed foods and soda. Just a thought that I already know my libertarian friends don't support yet they'll keep bitching about people eating unhealthily.

Eliminate food deserts.

Soda is a personal choice. Like cigarettes. It’s not done for survival.

My 11 year old son caught covid from his school 2 days ago - both me and the Mrs are double jabbed and we have negative tested today for covid - he had a little fever which responded to Calpol and so his headache went away - today he seems fine but must quarantine for 10 days - we will take the test every day to see if we get it - my daughter has also tested negative but we kept her off school - shes 13 - and un-vaxinnated - looks to me like the boy has kicked covid arse already - hes very healthy having spent all summer with me at the pool and in the gym - and he eats good home cooked food every day too - very rarely any processed/fast foods -

must be a coincidence then that statistically poor people consume more soda than those with higher income. it can't be because you can get a two litre for 99 cents at every supermarket in the country and a head of broccoli costs $6.

Good food does take a little effort. Many parents are too busy working or they just don’t budget their time right or they just don’t care.

none of my kids get to drink soda - not if I'm paying for it anyway - best to educate them on what a poison processed sugars can be - filtered water out of the tap is far cheaper than Coca-Cola/sodas - and much - much healthier -

Avoid the Hidden Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup


Why and how to keep this sweetener out of your diet

High fructose corn syrup has crept into more of our foods over the last few decades. Compared with regular sugar, it’s cheaper and sweeter, and is more quickly absorbed into your body. But eating too much high fructose corn syrup can lead to insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Functional medicine expert Mark Hyman, MD, explains the many ill effects of high fructose corn syrup, and he offers strategies to avoid it.
Fat production factory for your body

Fructose was initially thought to be a better choice for diabetics due to its low glycemic index. But only your liver cells can process fructose, and that’s where the problems begin.
“Fructose goes straight to your liver and starts a fat production factory,” Dr. Hyman says. “It triggers the production of triglycerides and cholesterol.” He explains that it’s actually the sugar — not the fat — that causes the most trouble for your cholesterol.
What’s even worse, Dr. Hyman notes, is high doses of fructose “punch little holes in your intestinal lining, causing what we call a leaky gut.” He explains that this allows foreign food proteins and bacterial proteins to enter into your bloodstream, which triggers inflammation, makes you gain weight and causes type 2 diabetes.
Increases appetite, promotes obesity

Studies show that high fructose corn syrup increases your appetite and it promotes obesity more than regular sugar. “High fructose corn syrup also contributes to diabetes, inflammation, high triglycerides, and something we call non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,” says Dr. Hyman. He says it increases all the fat in the liver which now affects over 90 million Americans.
“It can even cause fibrosis or what we call cirrhosis. In fact, sugar in our diet is now the major cause of liver failure and that makes sugar the leading cause of liver transplants,” says Dr. Hyman.
Alternative options

So, should you stay away from everything fructose?
Well, you should as much as possible, says Dr. Hyman, but fruit is the exception.
Fruit has fructose, but it’s naturally occurring and it doesn’t have the same effects as high fructose corn syrup. Additionally, fruit is packaged with fiber, vitamins, minerals and all sorts of healing nutrients. So unless you eat massive amounts of fruit, fructose should not be a problem.
High-fructose corn syrup represents more than 40% of the caloric sweeteners that are added to our foods and beverages. If you find the words “high- fructose corn syrup” or the new term corn sugar on a label, stay away if you want to be healthy. “These are signs of very poor quality foods,” says Dr. Hyman. He says the easiest way to completely avoid high-fructose corn syrup is to eat real, whole, unprocessed foods.
But, if you must buy packaged foods, Dr. Hyman says read the labels carefully to identify sugar in other disguises.
“Sugar is hidden in over 80% of the 600,000 processed foods on the market,” he says. But beware: it’s disguised with over 200 different names, things like maltodextrin and other things you wouldn’t recognize.
As a general rule of thumb. Dr. Hyman says “If you can’t pronounce it, or you don’t recognize the ingredients, or you wouldn’t add it to food you cooked in your own kitchen, then don’t eat it!”

When I didn’t have 99 cents I drank water. Drinking soda is a result of poor habits.
Moms busy working. Buys the kid a happy meal for diner. Comes with a free coke. Throw that shit away. It has no as in none. No nutrition.
Maybe they need less money. (Not seriously)
I remember living off of Turkey dogs and white bread.
I stopped buying the dogs and started buying better bread.
But…that bread has to be available. It is in the right neighborhoods.
That’s where you’re correct about income disparity.
Food democracy. Wages are simply capitalistic ideology.
Got food, you don’t need money.

Good reason not to get jabbed. think I already had WuFlu, and like 99.9% of people who had it, I survived and my body produced antibodies.

Dr. Mollie James, an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) Doctor in New York City. “The serious risks of complications are coming from those with natural immunity who then receive the vaccine or boosters, and frontline doctors and nurses have natural immunity after a year of fighting COVID and being exposed. These vaccine complication risks coming from an unwise mandate are serious, and include increased risks of stroke, heart attack, and death.”

. Although there is no need to adopt a single definition of Food Democracy, the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) North America organization provides one of the better descriptions. Does it seek healthy food for all? Check. A cleaner environment? Check. Does it have a fondness for local food? Check. Is the word ‘corporation’ used as a pejorative? Check. Does it include the term ‘social justice’, just in case a cause you champion has not already been listed? Check.
“Simply put, food democracy emphasizes fulfillment of the human right to safe, nutritious food that has been justly produced. It means ordinary people getting together to establish rules that encourage safeguarding the soil, water, and wildlife on which we all depend. It is also pragmatic politics built around the difficult lesson that food is too important to leave to market forces— that we all have a right and responsibility to participate in decisions that determine our access to safe, nutritious food.
This push to re-localize control over food and farming in the United States has an international equivalent in the "food sovereignty" movement. Both were born in the late 1990s, in response to the increasing corporate control over the global food system. As an international network, PAN works to advance and link these two movements, which hold a shared vision of the future of food and farming. That vision is rooted in regenerating autonomous food systems with, for and by the people” (PAN North America, 2015).

Milk is pretty cheap too - just over £1 for 2 liters (4 pints) - cold out of the fridge - very refreshing for them - and does have nutritional value too - some kids are lactose intolerant - luckily mine are not -

Not quite sure how these big soda companies get away with putting aspartame in and get away with it.
Total nonsense.

At some point, they will just start adding vaccines into our food and not tell a soul. Obviously, people getting it on their own doesn't work.

Fast food appears to be cheaper. It really isn’t . It’s cheaper to eat healthy.

Right!! McDonalds for instance is soooo overpriced especially when you consider what you get in return (Flavourless,lukewarm crap).

for example one iceberg salad lasts me several days, along with say a cucumber and a red pepper to make a basic daily salad. Potatoes aren´t expensive either (depending on where you buy them).
The only thing that really stretches my budget is meat and fish - and a numer of fruits. It´s really rather pricey over here sometimes. I keep an eye out for the shops weekly special offers, the other week it was minced beef. And this week annother place has a veggie on offer that´s kinda expensive at the supermarket I normally go to. I have to walk a longer distance but hey.
Cabbages are dirt cheap and incredibly healthy... you CAN eat healthy on a lower budget. :)

I plan on going to the GPs tomorrow to pick up a prescription and I´m gonna ask them if they´re finally getting supplied with vaccines again. I really hope so!!
I´m gettig annoyed and there´s a certain family member who keeps pestering me in a forceful way, which pisses me off even more.
Hell, I got enough other crap on my plate right now as it is !

Recall Washington Post doing an impressive job of covering it, back when such reporting was done.
Came down to what one would expect, the old boys network put in overtime, integrity be damned,
and it certainly was.
