The most counter-cultural thing a family can do in 2026: have children, raise them at home, live on one income, and build something that outlasts them.
Every institution in society will tell you this is impossible.
Do it anyway.
They KNEW seed oils killed 70% more people in 1966 - and buried the evidence for 40 years
In 1966, researchers wanted to prove seed oils actually PREVENT heart disease.
So they ran the Sydney Diet-Heart Study:
458 heart attack survivors were told to replace butter with "healthy" safflower oil and margarine.
7 years later, the results were SO BAD they buried the study for 40+ years:
• 62% higher all-cause mortality in the seed oil group
• 70% higher coronary death rate
• The "heart-healthy" fats literally killed people faster
The study was FINALLY published in 2013 - after decades of telling people to avoid butter and cook with vegetable oils.
The mechanism: seed oils are 50-70% omega-6 linoleic acid → oxidize at cooking temperatures → form toxic aldehydes → damage blood vessels → accelerate atherosclerosis
Replace with: butter, ghee, tallow, coconut oil for cooking - extra virgin olive oil for salads (never heat it)
some books you are meant to buy and have sit on your shelf until the version of you who is meant to read it is born. i’ll always support buying an insane amount of books.
