A new study found that simply showing adults a picture of a pig on the menu makes them 22% more likely to choose the vegetarian option.
This isn’t compassion or progress. This is clear evidence of the accelerating infantilization of modern adults, grown people so emotionally juvenile they can’t handle a visual reminder that meat comes from animals without having a little identity crisis and reaching for the kale.
We’re not raising resilient humans anymore. We’re cultivating a society of oversized children, biologically and psychologically regressing, clinging to neotenous traits long past the age when previous generations had to grow up and face reality.
After everything we have seen the last several years, especially the nonsense and outright contradictions we got from official sources during COVID, I do not blame a single one of you for reading these hantavirus cruise-ship headlines and thinking "here we go again they are trying the same old playbook." The timing, the rare human-to-human angle with one strain, and the quick jump to fear and restrictions have a lot of people openly questioning the official story. I get it. I really do. And I am not here to gaslight you or tell you to quit asking hard questions.
Here is the clearest picture I can give you from the primary sources and 2.5 decades of clinical experience:
This remains a small, contained cluster on the ship MV Hondius. As of today, authorities report about 8 total cases (3 confirmed, 5 suspected) of Andes-strain hantavirus, with 3 deaths. The ship has left Cape Verde waters and is heading to the Canary Islands for supervised disembarkation. Roughly 145-150 people are still aboard, with no symptomatic individuals currently on the vessel according to the operator. Earlier passengers who disembarked are being traced.
Incubation is typically weeks (1-8, averaging around 2-3), which is why contacts are under active monitoring for the full time window.
This is still primarily a rodent-borne illness. The Andes strain is the main one capable of limited person-to-person spread, usually with very close contact.
Eating a Proper Human Diet and living a Proper Human Life (including daily sunlight exposure) will keep your body and immune system as strong as possible. Your best day-to-day defense has not changed: Keep your metabolic terrain solid with the nutrient-dense, animal-based Proper Human Diet. Stay informed, ask questions, do your own research, but do not live in fear.
Treatment bottom line: No proven specific antiviral exists for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Early recognition plus strong supportive ICU care (ventilation and ECMO when needed) is what has improved survival in severe cases.
On the vaccine front, there is nothing ready from big pharma to push on you. The only human data is one small, completed Phase 1 government DNA vaccine trial from years ago. No large company has an advanced candidate in the works, at least officially...
There is also no mechanism or research showing that ivermectin will prevent or treat HPS. This is a completely different virus from COVID, with different ways it gets into cells and replicates. What worked or did not work for one does not automatically apply here.
I am monitoring both English and non-English news outlets from all over the world, along with the primary sources, and I will post again if the situation changes meaningfully. What questions are on your mind, incubation, prevention steps, or anything else? Drop them below. We discuss real evidence here.

The potato discourse has gotten out of hand. Let's do this properly.
What people think the potato is:
- A staple food that sustained civilisations
- Rich in vitamins and minerals
- A complete, satisfying whole food
- Proof you can thrive on plants alone
- The humble hero of the working-class diet
What the potato actually is:
- A starchy underground storage organ designed by the plant to survive winter: not to feed you
- Protected by glycoalkaloids, natural pesticides concentrated in the skin, sprouts, and green flesh
- A food you're instructed to peel specifically because part of it is mildly toxic
- High on the glycaemic index: drives insulin as effectively as table sugar once digested
- Nutritionally modest: some C, some potassium, no complete protein, no fat-soluble vitamins, nothing the meat it used to accompany wasn't already providing
- The food of last resort that defined subsistence, not flourishing: adopted by European peasants because it was cheap, calorie-dense, and hard to tax
- Famous for sustaining the Irish: until the one crop failed, and then it killed them in their hundreds of thousands, which is what happens when a food system narrows to a single low-nutrient staple
The "you can live on potatoes" claim requires milk to make it even partially true. The milk is doing the work. The potato is providing the calories. These are not the same thing.
Deep-fried in seed oil: you have added oxidised linoleic acid and a compound (acrylamide) the WHO calls a probable carcinogen, to a food that was already doing nothing special.
The potato is not bad. The potato is fine. The potato has simply been given the mythology of a hero for doing the job of a backup plan.
Humans evolved under dietary conditions very different from those created by modern agriculture and industrial food, and many modern diseases may arise from this mismatch.
Much of the modern medicine & nutrition advice is based on a complete lack of understanding of this basic truth...
100% of soy is used first for oil, either for human consumption or biodiesel, the left overs are fed to animals, but mostly pigs and chickens, cows eat very little soy and the little they consume does not result in any significant amount of glyphosate showing up in their milk or meat-also veganism is retarded
Breakfast shouldn’t feel like dessert.
Cereal is sugar.
Juice is sugar.
And muffins are just cupcakes in disguise.
A sweet, high-carb breakfast spikes insulin…
then leaves you hungry, foggy, and reaching for snacks an hour later.
Opt for eggs, meat, real food instead.
This is total bullshit- no over priced longevity supplement stacks, no dna methylation tests, no vampire blood transfusion
No one is going to pay money for this stuff!
Let’s be honest.
Most people do care about animals.
They love their dogs and cats like family and still eat beef and eggs, because that is exactly what every social primate does: protect its own group, hunt and eat outside it. That is not a contradiction. It is biology.
Every primate on Earth eats animals, insects, or its own poop to survive. There is not a single primate that lives on a true vegan diet without massive bacterial fermentation and coprophagy to get B12.
Humans do not have those guts, those colons, or those behaviors. (you might eat poop, I don't know)
Chimps love kittens & puppies and still kill and eat monkeys.
The natural world is not vegan and never has been. Loving some animals and eating others is the norm in our lineage.
So when vegans show up, what they expose is not hidden “moral tension,” but their own modern belief system that refuses to look at how human anatomy, anthropology, and ecology actually work.
Veganism is a modern belief, not a biological reality.
Some belief systems deepen with experience and science. Others need more time to grow up...
We’ve seen comments like: “Glad the ADA finally gets it.” So let’s clear things up.
We’re not the ADA.
We’re the American Diabetes Society an org for people who didn’t get better under traditional guidance.
We focus on real food, lowering insulin & reversing type 2 diabetes.
Vegetables!
For some folks they just jack up their guts, leads to bloating, pain and a disrupted gut barrier
For most folks they just displace otherwise calorically dense foods and thus can lead to weight loss
They are not nutritional powerhouses as some would claim as much of the nutrition is minimally bioavailable and so ultimately you end up feeding the toilet instead of your body
The main benefit of eating vegetables is that you don’t eat as much junk
