In 1993, the US started enriching all flour, bread, pasta, cereal with synthetic folic acid, which is a lab-made chemical.
However, Europe doesn't do this.
This is why when you eat, say, a bowl of pasta in Europe, you feel great afterwards.
Eat the same thing in the US? Instead, you'll feel tired, have mood changes, strange blood sugar changes...
A way to get around this issue is to switch to non-enriched/organic versions of grains, rice, pasta, and bread.
Most people walk past this shelf and don’t think twice about who’s behind it.
Some brands have boardrooms.
Some don’t — but they still have partners, investors, outside friends involved somewhere along the way.
This one doesn’t.
Goode Foods is owned and run by one bloodline.
No investors. No outside partners. No silent hands in the background.
And it’s not just on paper.
Around 90% of the people working in this company are family.
Same last name. Same table. Same pressure to get it right.
This wasn’t built through deals or handoffs.
It’s a real version of the American Dream people talk about all the time but rarely see play out like this:
Working side by side with your family.
Keeping it in the family.
And making sure it’s good enough to feed other families too.
22+ years in and it’s still the same setup.
No shortcuts. No passing it off. Just us.

MJ once said: “My bass player makes a mistake, my guitar player makes a mistake, I make mistakes sometimes, but Sugarfoot never makes a mistake.”
I was at a steakhouse in Dallas, eating alone at the bar. Next to me was a young guy in a military uniform. He was eating a baked potato and a side salad.
Nothing else. He kept eyeing the steaks coming out of the kitchen, then looking at his wallet. I flagged the bartender.
"Put his tab on mine," I whispered.
"And send him the ribeye.
Tell him it's a mistake from the kitchen."
The bartender grinned. "You got it."
Ten minutes later, the huge steak landed in front of the kid. "I didn't order this," he said, panicked. "I can't pay for this."
"Kitchen messed up," the bartender lied perfectly. "Manager said to eat it or we have to trash it." The kid ate like he hadn't seen food in a week.
When he finished, he asked for the check.
"Covered," the bartender pointed at me.
The kid turned to me. "Sir, I..."
"Thank you for your service," I said.
"Get home safe." He stood up, shook my hand, and walked out taller than he walked in.
If you have more than you need, build a long table, not a higher fence. 🫡🇺🇸

Shi Heng Yi (Shaolin master) delivers a razor-sharp wake-up call:
"As long as your body is healthy, you have thousands of problems.
But the moment your body gets sick, you have ONE problem."
Everything else—goals, drama, worries—collapses into irrelevance when health fails. The mind invents endless distractions while the body is strong, but illness instantly reduces life to a single priority: healing.
His message is clear and urgent:
Respect, care for, nourish, and love your body first.
It’s the most precious thing you have right now.
Without it, nothing else matters.
Health isn’t a side quest—it’s the foundation.
Ignore it at your peril.
What’s one small daily habit you’re doing (or starting) to protect this irreplaceable asset?

@grok@TheBTCTherapist@grok what if you had $1 million that you put down on $4 million worth of property and it was at a 10% cap? Apartments. How would that work out in five years if your interest rate was 6.75%.
