We need to stop confusing food processing with junk food manufacturing
Humans have processed food for thousands of years:
• Grinding
• Fermenting
• Salting
• Drying
• Cooking
Processing itself isn’t the problem
The problem is refined energy added to food
SUPPLEMENTS ARE LARGELY A SCAM
They exist because the modern diet is not aligned with our biology
If you eat these foods, you won’t need a single supplement
Most people don’t know this, but US vitamin D guidelines are based on a statistical mistake that was pointed out over a decade ago…
and almost nothing changed
🤦♂️
Imagine thinking banning ads for the foundation of human nutrition is "progress" 🥩
Red meat is one of the only foods in the entire world being advertised that's actually good for you
Making a product plant-based makes it LESS nutritious the majority of the time
Yet it’s used as a positive selling point and marketing tool
“Plant-based” is a well-funded narrative that’s insanely lucrative
The way forward is simple but not easy.
It starts with demanding better. Better meat. Better farming. Better food.
Healthy soil, thriving ecosystems, and nutrient-dense food all start with regenerative agriculture.

After interviewing hundreds of doctors and PhDs over the past eight years, one change has had the biggest positive impact on my life
….though it’s also the most controversial:
Why we need a new food processing classification
The US doesn’t have a clear way to define food processing. The best known attempt is the NOVA system but it has big problems.
👉 Ground beef gets treated like flavored yogurt
👉 Biltong or cheese can be lumped in with candy bars if the ingredient list is “too long”
👉 A single additive can push nutrient dense foods into the same bucket as soda
That doesn’t help anyone understand real health.
My system fixes two big issues:
1️⃣ Traditionally Prepared
It gives a rightful place to foods made with time-honored methods that preserve or enhance nutrient density. Sourdough, kimchi, cheese, biltong, canned fish. These are not junk foods.
2️⃣ Refined Energy
It shifts the focus to what really matters. The more a food’s calories come from refined starches, oils, and sugars, the worse it is for health. Not a single sweetener. Not an arbitrary ingredient count.
After that, foods are separated into 3 tiers:
✔️ Processed: minimal refined energy, few additives
✔️ Highly Processed: moderate refined energy, some additives
✔️ Ultra Processed: dominated by refined starch, sugar, and oil plus industrial additives
This matters because foods like fermented vegetables, cheese, or cured meats don’t just belong outside the “junk” category - they often increase nutrient density through fermentation, preservation, or concentration.
Recognizing ‘Traditionally Prepared’ protects the foods that have sustained humans for generations and separates them from the modern products that are truly driving chronic disease.
Spread this to anyone you know who can make change in food policy & legislation
This is trillion dollar question nobody can answer
If there was a good answer, maybe we could start turning around the slow motion train wreck we’re experiencing as a world concerning obesity & disease
