Hey Radical Health Seekers ๐
In your newsletter this week, weโre highlighting 9 mind-blowing facts about health that every Radical Health Seeker needs to know.
This information might change your entire perspective on health… and make you question everything you thought to be true.
We wish this information was discussed more often in doctorsโ offices and the mainstream mediaโฆ
Because knowledge is the first step in making the best decisions for our health.
But before we dive in, letโs discuss another important topic:
There is a war on small farmers
The Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ is set to force 3000 farmers to shut down in order to comply with European Union climate change regulations.
Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช wants to cull 200,000 cattle in order to comply with the same rules.
Now both of these countries’ emissions combined amount to less than 0.5% of total global emissions.
So it seems wild that their own governments are willing to destroy their citizens’ livelihoods, end multi-generational family farms, and damage their food security in order to comply with some rules that in the end, donโt seem like they will make much difference.
Small family farms here in America are also facing a potential wipeout, with 100,000 farms lost between 2011 and 2018.
And letโs not forget that the largest private owner of farmland is Bill Gates. We somehow doubt he will be using that land to produce regeneratively farmed beef anytime soon. ๐ค
Thereโs never been a better time to support your local farmer. Visit the farmerโs market. Shake their hand. Give them your dollar and they will give you radical health in return!
