You're being poisoned.

And I'm not just talking about mRNA shots.

Ultra-processed foods are everywhere, and they come with some serious health risks.

A recent meta-analysis found that a significant intake of ultra-processed foods results in:

• 15% to 27% increased risk of all-cause mortality

• 51% to 84% increased risk of heart disease-related death

• Increase in the risk of most types of cancer, except for prostate cancer

• 24% to 61% increase in having sleep problems

• 37% to 59% increase in anxiety

• 43% to 63% increase in common mental disorders (including depression, OCD, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder)

• Increases in risk for asthma, Crohn's disease, obesity, type two diabetes

Sadly, nearly 60% of calories consumed in America come from ultra-processed foods.

Before you get hit by one of these health conditions, here are five foods to cut out of your diet right now:

1.) Sugary Breakfast Cereals: Often packed with high levels of sugar and refined carbohydrates, which can lead to energy spikes followed by crashes and may contribute to obesity and other metabolic disorders.

2. Deli Meats: These contain a lot of salt and preservatives, which are linked to increased risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer.

3.) Potato Chips: High in calories, fats, and salt, potato chips can contribute to weight gain, high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.

4.) Processed Cheese Slices: While cheese itself can be a healthy option, processed cheese slices usually contain a lot of emulsifiers and additives to give them their characteristic texture, which can be less beneficial compared to natural cheese.

5.) Soda: Loaded with sugar, contributing to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay. It offers no nutritional value and can lead to a high intake of empty calories.

$GME, $BBBYQ, this is so much larger than we realize.

..and it goes back to 2019.

Talk about playing the long game. Actually I remember, Mr. Icahn has mentioned how significant the long-term was in successful shareholder activism.

And that is exactly what this is, activist investing.

In 2019, Hestia Capital sends a letter to the #GameStop Board of Directors. To sum it up, they say: you are out of touch, you are burning through 2.5 billion dollars of shareholder value and you are not equipped to pivot to e-commerce. They say that is where the future is.

In 2019, they avoid a proxy contest.

But a short year later, Hestia is back in 2020 and initiates a proxy fight against the then-current Board of Directors.

On June 12, 2020, Hestia wins the proxy fight. Chief Investment Officer Kurt Wolf joins the #GME Board and begins what he calls, the pivot into e-commerce and modernizing the business.

..are these lines sounding familiar yet?

Shortly thereafter, in August 2020, @ryancohen buys shares in #GameStop.

but wait, let's rewind for a moment.

Hestia Capital was represented by Olshan in their 2020 proxy fight. ..and you guessed it, by none other than Elizabeth Sussman.

hmm.

Take a moment to realize, the same shareholder activism practice (Olshan Frome Wolosky) represented both:

Hestia Capital in their proxy fight with GameStop,

as well as Ryan Cohen in his proxy fight at #BBBYQ.

Further, Ryan Cohen used Proskauer for his GameStop purchases in 2020, but Olshan for his purchase in March 2022.

Did you know that Ryan Cohen used the same Olshan attorney for a GameStop share purchase on March 22, 2022,

..as well as announcing the Bed Bath cooperation agreement on March 24, 2022?

..and that Kirkland denotes a "Sussman NDA" in their July fee statement?

that is a remarkable set of "cohencidences."

June 2022, the Bed Bath CEO is removed.

August 2022, Sixth Street arrives to Bed Bath with bags of money.

October 2022, Lazard forms the Dealer Manager Agreement, allowing for any number of affiliate entities to operate under one legal acquisition umbrella.

November 2022, Hestia returns to the limelight and begins an activist shareholder campaign at Pitney Bowes, stating that their business model is too old and they need to re-evaluate their e-commerce strategy.

Mr. Wolf (lol, I love this) even suggested "that the board consider selling the Global Ecommerce segment if its results do not improve,.."

is it starting to sound familiar?

On May 9, 2023, Pitney Bowes announces that four Hestia nominees will join the Board, to refocus capital allocation and push for the Company to explore alternative strategies re: e-commerce.

On October 2, 2023 the Pitney Bowes CEO steps down.

are you seeing the pattern and bigger picture?

If Lazard is the Skeleton Key, then Olshan is the room behind the locked door.

You will remember I have theorized for some time, that BuyBuy Baby and BBBYTF were spun off and became a new legal entity on September 25, 2023.

BBBYTF, still remains an actively registered business in good standing. It is registered in Texas.

Our darling GameStop, is of course based out of Texas.

On Friday, it came across the newswire how the story of BuyBuyBaby's transformation occurred in record time. That newswire came from Texas.

what a cohencidence!

Remember when Kirkland and Ellis submitted their September monthly fee statement to the court, and it only covered September 1-14?

..even though, in the Lazard fee statement they were actively working until the last business day before the BuyBuy Baby monthly operating report ended?

remarkable!

fun fact: an attorney named Arjun Karthikeyan currently works for Kirkland and Ellis. His expertise lies in mergers/acquisitions, shareholder activism and private equity.

But from 2017-2020, he worked for Olshan.

Well guess what?

While at Olshan, he represented Hestia to get their board seats on GameStop,

and..

He also represented Legion Partners Holdings, LLC (“Legion Partners Holdings” together with its affiliates, “Legion Partners”), Macellum Advisors GP, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Macellum”), and Ancora Advisors, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Ancora” and, together with Legion Partners and Macellum, “the Investor Group”)

that's a lot of affiliates..

against Bed Bath and Beyond in a 2019 shareholder activism campaign aimed at spinning off subsidiaries, namely BuyBuy Baby.

This has been going on for a lot longer than anyone realizes.

something, something, maniacally focused on the long-term.

Clearly, Ryan Cohen is a master of business acumen and it is easy to see why so many people choose to invest in such a dedicated and hard-working individual.
