Let us review the classes of foods which are useful in securing the ideal diet. First, fluid milk, canned milk and milk powder. Second, whole grain. Third, eggs. Fourth, cheese or meat. Since man is omnivorous, he also eats the flesh of certain animals and many varieties of fish taken from rivers, lakes and oceans. Eggs and the flesh of animals also supply proteins of the proper variety. Fifth, vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, cabbage or fresh onions. Sixth, fruits such as oranges, tomatoes, bananas, apples and seventh, butter. The important thing for us to remember here is to select, as far as possible from all these classes the foods we will eat every day. If we select foods from all these classes intelligently, we can secure all that we need for energy and for a supply of proteins, minerals and vitamins to keep our bodies strong and healthy and our minds alert.

So eggs were not the enemy. Butter was not the enemy. Red meat was not the enemy. And let's think back to the 1940s, 50s, 60s in America. We were not facing an obesity crisis. We were not facing a diabetes crisis. We were not facing an entirely preventable chronic disease crisis. And all of the things that we consider the enemy of health today, like whole milk, red meat, full fat, butter, and the number one enemy I hear about all the time, eggs. I eat eggs every day. You should be eating eggs almost every day of your life if you're not already. Those things were given to you as the number one things that you need to be investing in for a well rounded, protein driven, healthy diet. Someone dug up not that long ago a correlation graph between the dietary guidelines and when they shifted in America at the federal level and the obesity rate. I think I have that to pull up for you on the screen today. Of course, Correlation. There we go. Correlation does not equal causation. But look at when we changed the dietary guidelines in this country in the 1970s and the shocking rise in obesity and overweight numbers on the scales for Americans, up to more than 70% of Americans who are overweight or obese today. Tell me that's not a very obvious correlation between the dramatic, dramatic change in how we approach dietary guidelines into the rise in the obesity epidemic. On the note of healthy food, especially when it comes to our kids, if you are a mom who wants the absolute best food out there available for your kid, but like me, you still wonder, is this actually safe every single time you pick up a new product in the grocery store aisle? It's so obvious to me that food labels are so misleading. I sit there and I try to read things and I don't know how to pronounce it. Even with a science background, I have no idea what I'm actually reading. And. And in virtually every product in the grocery store, seed oils, additives that are banned in Europe, banned all over the world, endocrine disruptors, microplastics, heavy metals are in almost every single, even healthy food available to our kids. Which is exactly why I use Olive every time I go to the store. Olive is like having a clean living expert right in your pocket. It is 100% independent. No big brands are paying for better ratings on their app. Just credible, transparent information that you can actually trust. You take out your phone and do one quick scan using their app, and Olive looks Past the marketing to all of the red flags, the ultra processing, the sketchy additives in the food, the seed oils and any hidden contaminants that might not be immediately obvious to you. And they are building the most comprehensive independent database of lab tested products that is anywhere available out there. This isn't just talk. Olive recently completed the largest independent baby food study that has ever been done. They tested over 300 products for lead and arsenic in actual ISO accredited labs. Real testing, real results. If you want to know if your baby's food has been contaminated with lead. Scary stuff, I know. Just scan it at the grocery store with your Olive app. I love Olive. It has dramatically transformed what brands of food I am actually buying at the store and simplifies the entire guessing game process of is this going to be healthy for me? Is this really dangerous for my baby? What can I reasonably want to put in my pantry? As a mom, I am so grateful that there are other people out there making my life so much simpler when it comes to helping to where my family stays safe. If RFK Juniors make America healthy again, message resonates with you. But you're so tired of decoding all of the confusing labels and ingredients that that you can't even begin to pronounce. Olive is about to become, trust me, your new best friend. My listeners get an exclusive 7 day free trial on Olive. You can try it yourself. Scan your pantry, make sure you are feeding your family only the very best food available out there for them. Download Olive right now in the app store. Olive is independent, credible, transparent. Scan, swap and exhale. So maybe, I don't know, it's time for a revision to federal food guidelines. And I am so unbelievably grateful that people like Secretary Kennedy are paying attention to this stuff that they notice these correlations that they're asking all of the right questions and then they're taking action on this to change the way that we view healthy food in this country. A couple of weeks ago on the show we had on the head of the NIH Dr. J. Bhattacharya. And I haven't gotten a chance to to ask him about his take on everything related to healthy food and preventable disease. Making sure our diet is something that we are investing in up front to prevent a whole lot of these things that we're needing to do research about today. So we'll have to have him back on the show for sure. But you guys may remember a story correlated with the NIH, no pun intended, using that word there from 2023. This was January of 2023. So almost three years ago now. It made shocking headlines and went incredibly viral on social media. At the time, our friends at Good Ranchers were talking about it quite a bit almost three years ago. But a couple of years ago, the NIH funded a study that ran through Tufts University. And if you want to see just how horribly our country is approaching the subject of healthy food in America today, this stuff study will prove absolutely everything you ever need to know. This study out of Tufts University published in January of 2023 or so, created a new food pyramid. Again, this is not from the government, but this is a government funded academic study. This new food pyramid rated Lucky Charms, cereal, marshmallows and all, as healthier for you than eggs, butter, cheddar cheese and ground beef. I'm going to leave this up for you for a minute so that you can look at this with me. Together they ranked watermelon basically the healthiest food ever. This is the Food Compass, which I guess is Tufts University's new version of the food pyramid. Again published in 2023. Watermelon, peaches and then Cheerios. Interesting all the way. At the bottom of the unhealthiest foods on the other end of that spectrum are are eggs fried in butter, cheddar cheese and ground beef. Ground beef has a score of 26 out of 100 for health on this food compass. It's labeled in red as a food to be minimized, not even to be moderated, certainly not to be encouraged, but to be minimized in your diet. Meanwhile, Lucky Charms has a score of 60, more than twice as healthy for you as ground beef and grape juice. Sugar filled grape juice, Lord knows what kind of artificial dyes, colors, sugars, additives are included in. Grape juice is also considered more than almost twice as healthy as ground beef in this food compass put together by Tufts University. This was all shared at a White House conference back at end of 2022, early 2023, on hunger, nutrition and health under the Biden administration. The dean of the School of Nutrition at Tufts University announced these findings after spending three years and millions upon millions of dollars designing this new food pyramid. That snapshot I showed you just a second ago is only one example on this food pyramid. The whole thing is absolutely, absolutely insane. Lucky Charms, they say, are healthier for you than whole milk, more than twice as healthy as beef, and better for you than a baked potato or cooked green peas. Millions upon millions of dollars from the federal government, from United States taxpayers to tell you that frosted Mini Wheats and Honey Nut Cheerios are better for you than than a steak. And there are other crazy examples too. Chocolate covered almonds. Chocolate covered almonds had a health score of 78 out of 100 on this food pyramid. But a whole egg fried in butter has a score of 29. Riddle me that. Pita bread got a score of one out of 100. But raisin bran cereals got 72 and cheerios got a score of 95. To be encouraged, processed cereal is the healthiest option for you. But pita bread needs to be avoided at all costs. This is insane in public health. This is precisely the kind of work that matters. These studies have implications on real people's lives that dramatically change our culture and our day to day lifestyle from the inside out. And when we really start looking at all of the numbers here, it is so obvious that when the federal government in the 1970s, going into the 1980s, first dramatically revised the federal dietary guidelines that gave us the food pyramid that you might remember learning about in elementary school if you're my age, or maybe this new food compass that is a federally funded project, it's clear that as a result of that we are sicker and we are heavier earlier and earlier and earlier as Americans. If you look at the numbers and you break this down, obesity has tripled in America since the 1960s. Tripled. Diabetes is up almost 14 times in that same period. Those two alone are driving countless examples of heart failure, kidney disease, fatty liver disease, infertility, and so many other contributions in the chronic disease epidemic that never needed to take place in the first place. But it's because our everyday environment changed. The food that we got at the grocery store changed. The amount that we were working out was changing. How much we were exercising was dramatically reduced with more sedentary office type lifestyles. And sitting in traffic for 8 million hours a day, which let me tell you in New York, made me want to blow my brains out the last couple of days I missed walking outside in a clean, safe environment where you could. And that used to be normal for people to live through decades and decades ago, but now it's just not. And it's not even promoted as a norm anymore. You're just supposed to be body positive and just accept everyone as they are. We are eating more calories on a day by day basis and almost always from ultra processed food that didn't even exist several decades ago and now is being pushed and shoved down our throats in government funded food pyramid programs. Not from the government, but government funded as the healthiest possible option to be overtly encouraged in our diet when actual substantive food as it was intended to be eaten like eggs, butter, cheese, whole milk, salt stake is to be avoided at all costs. We are taking more pharmaceuticals to mitigate all of these problems, which of course is fueling the chronic disease epidemic. Use of 5 plus prescriptions per adult by the way has surged surged over the past several decades. 22% of adults age 40 to 79 take five plus presence prescription medications every single day. That is insane. And it is directly a result of the so called experts that we are supposed to be trusting telling us day in and day out that the healthiest option for you is to constantly be consuming at an unmitigated rate, no moderation required, ultra processed foods that, let's face it, are great lobbyists. They're great lobbyists and are in bed with big food and big pharma here in Washington D.C. i see a whole lot of people talking about SNAP benefits this week and keeping Americans fed in the midst of the government shutdown, which of course is important. But nobody wants to talk about the fact that literally billions of dollars are spent every single year as a component of SNAP on Coca Cola products and other unhealthy sugary soda drinks. I wonder why? Money talks and lobbying is incredibly powerful in this town. So look, whether you like RFK or not, the fact that the government is even revisiting the food pyramid, food, federal dietary guidelines and everything is wildly important because let's face it, over the last couple of years we have been on an all out, non stop, off the rails track into insanity of you will eat ze bugs and you will be happy. And I'm actually not even exaggerating on that front, by the way. How many times have we heard over the last 10 years from the world economic forums and the Klaus Schwab's of the world that the new frontier pushed down your throat by billionaires like Bill Gates of healthy eating and of saving the world from climate catastrophe. Although didn't Bill Gates just say the other day, we're no longer living through a climate catastrophe. So honestly I can't even keep up. But the only way to save the planet is for you to abandon eating meat altogether and to consume bugs instead. This has been a hallmark feature of the you will own nothing and be happy crowd of the one world government crowd of the total control over your life crowd at every World Economic Forum summit over the past several years by a lot of these insane billionaires trying to reinvent how people are healthy and now it seems these same people are so far off the rails that they want you to drink emulsified bugs in an effort to save your health and the planet. I saw this video the other day. Our friends at Seed Oil Scout great account to be following by the way. They do incredibly great work helping you find restaurants in your area that do not cook with seed oils. They do really amazing work. They posted this video on their Instagram and I had a hard time eating for the rest of the day. So dying to know if you share the same feelings. Watch this.

Entomilk is a dairy alternative that we make from black soldier fly larva. We take the insects and we process it into a dairy alternative. It forms a rich and creamy liquid which looks and acts just like dairy. Into milk is very rich in protein, fat, calcium, iron and zinc which is really good for you. And it's got a very creamy mouthfeel. The world needs alternatives to survive. Insects are vital for the future of food because they require very little land. They don't damage the environment like livestock, they don't produce greenhouse gases and that we the demand for ice cream. The world is going to struggle to produce enough food for the growing population and I find insects a very viable option. Can you believe it's made from insects? Hi, I'm Leah Bessa. I live in Cape Town and I make dairy alternatives from insects.

B (22:35)

Yeah. No, no, immediately. No entomil unsubscribe. I've seen what I needed to see. When will never be consuming this over my dead body will I eat ground up fly insect larva ice cream. Did you see the look on the faces of those poor kids being force fed this ice cream? Of course it doesn't taste good and no, of course it doesn't mimic dairy and act and look just like dairy. It looks like ground up larva carcasses because that's what it is. Oh, back to the show in just a second. But making America healthy again cannot just be about the food that we're eating. The truth is your skin care might even be more toxic for you than your food. Just like choosing healthy food, we need to be incredibly careful about what we are putting on our body as well. During my pregnancy, I became hyper aware of every single product that I used. I was reading labels, I was researching ingredients and realizing just how many toxic chemicals I had let into my daily routine that was seeping into my bloodstream from my skin. You guys, I urge you to read the label on your favorite face moisturizer. Most of them read like a Lab report. I ended up swapping some of my toxic moisturizers for Cow Guys Tallow Balm. A natural hydrating balm with ingredients that you can actually pronounce. It brought me so much confidence knowing exactly what I was putting on my body. It's not only natural and safe, but but way more effective than conventional alcohol or water based lotions. My skin is literally glowing even when I get no sleep at night. As a new mom, Tallow Balm is what we have used for generations before Big Pharma ruined skincare. You can use it as lotion for your hands, arms, legs, face and lips. I promise you your skin will love it. Plus, it is American made and rancher owned right in the heart of Texas. It is the best tallow balm that you can possibly find out there on the market. Search up cowguys.shop to get your bottle and get a second one free. No special code needed. That is six to eight months of moisturizer for just $34. Cow Guys sent us a couple of their bombs to try over the last couple of weeks. And I'm not even joking. I think I took home one bottle to my house or one little bomb container to my house and then all of them ended up going missing within a few days. And I'm like, where did all of this go? I was supposed to give these to my friends, to my team. My. My husband coveted all of it and it is hiding on his side of the bathroom because he is so obsessed with it. So this is great for women, for your favorite guy in your life, whether that's your boyfriend or your husband, as a great Christmas gift. And it's also safe to use for your babies as well. This is really, really important. Search Cowguys Shop to grab two bottles for the price of one and ditch those horrifying toxic facial moisturizers. You'll thank me later. Thank God we have Secretary Kennedy because this was coming to a school cafeteria near you very, very quickly under a potential Kamala Harris administration and probably still is in the future if these people are ever elected back into office. But. Oh dear God. And it's not just the insect bug milk, which isn't even milk. It's just grass ground up deceased bugs. It's also the meat that you are eating, which we are wildly passionate about here on the show. Before we ever joined with the Daily Wire, I used to talk about this topic a lot. So if you guys have been following me for a couple of years, you'll know we've done lots and lots and lots of deep dives on the insanity of stuff like lab grown meat. And of course being the guy with the red string at the cork board tying it all together for you, that the answer to why all of this has been happening and is really very simple. It's, it's money. It's the really powerful billionaires investing in these companies. Because Bill Gates for example, is one of the primary investors in one of the new leading lab grown meat companies here in the United States of America. That shocker has been given FDA approval to operate and oh, oh no. All of these scientists are coming forward to warn you that consuming lab grown meat is actually really dangerous because this is all derived from pluripotent stem cells. Not to get way too into the science of all of this, but we have talked about it in the past and I'm sure we'll do a deep dive episode on it again in the future. Consuming those. We don't really know how that all works out long term and theoretically could cause massive tumor growth or unregulated cell growth in a human body, making you dependent on pharmaceutical chemotherapy drugs for the rest of your life. Oh, and who also is one of the most highly sought after investors in the pharmaceutical world? Bill Gates. So we could play this game all day long. It is incredibly sinister. Very, very dark how off the rails this alternative healthier food concept like lab grown meat, like plant based meat that is full of 8,000 chemicals that you cannot even begin to pronounce really is. But I found a new example of this the last couple of days about the new frontier of the meat. I'm putting massive quotations around that that you are supposed to be eating according to the leading health experts because it's better for you and the environment, I guess. 3D printed meat. I'm already going to say this upfront immediately. No, no thanks for me. But you tell me if you would eat this. Based on this video, a meat alternative.

F (28:06)

Startup out of Israel makes their product using a highly technical process. The mix of soy and pea protein, chickpeas, beetroot, nutritional yeast and coconut fat is formed into steak like shapes using a 3D printer.

B (28:23)

Our goal is to become the largest meat company in the world just by harnessing technology instead of animals.

F (28:31)

Unlike the soy based crumbles that mimic ground beef, Redefine Meat's product is designed to act, taste and cut like flank steak.

B (28:42)

You might have missed that because it was casually thrown in there in the middle of the video. But the literal name of this company is Redefine Meat. No I think I'm good. Unsubscribe. Don't count me in for this being the largest meat company and most influential meat company in the world. But 3D printed meat is already very popular. Hundreds of restaurants all across most major countries in in Europe. There are hundreds of restaurants in Germany alone that are buying 3D printed meat from a factory in the Netherlands. So this isn't even just in the Middle East. In America we already have lab grown meat and let's face it, probably 3D printed meat available in restaurants and some grocery stores across the country. All this of course when we are facing the greatest chronic disease epidemic the world has ever known. I have to wonder if it all started with redefining meat or making you drink Z Bugs or telling you that Lucky Charms cereal is healthier for you than butter, ground beef, eggs and whole milk. I'm just, I'm just putting it out there. We are going to be following this story very, very closely over the next few weeks and hopefully we'll have a chance to sit down with Secretary Kennedy with the announcement of what these new federal dietary guidelines are. But I am dying to know from you guys if you are open to dramatically changing what we consider to be healthy food. Knowing what we've known over the past several decades that real whole foods, particularly red meat, full fat butter, whole milk, cheese, all of those things have been all out demonized by the so called public health experts. And yet we're also watching the greatest obesity, diabetes and chronic disease epidemic the world has ever known. Is it concerning to you that we haven't even asked this question up to this point? And what are you hoping to see more out of these dietary guidelines? Please let us know in the comments of today's episode. We going to keep it a short one because as I mentioned at the top of the show, your girl is dying with sleep regressions of her six month old baby. So we're working very hard on sleep training over here at the Belcher household this week. If you guys have any advice to get us through the trenches. Genuinely, I am more exhausted than when I had an original newborn, which is saying something. So send us your thoughts, send us your good vibes, your prayers and all of your sleep training advice. And please don't forget to subscribe to the show so that we can continue growing and reaching more people with the content that really needs to be said one day at a time. Go find us on your favorite podcast platform, Apple Podcasts or Spotify and give us a five star rating over there. It has Been such an amazing eight weeks now as of Monday, right. Monday was our eighth week. So eight, eight full weeks doing the show with you guys. And I'm so excited for everything still to come. We are working so hard on putting together amazing interviews with people you would ever expect to be on the show both here in the US and around the world. We've got all kinds of stuff cooking for America 2:50 next year, which shockingly is in two months, 2026. I have a hard time wrapping my head around that and just covering more of the stuff that really matters and the hard things that need to be said. I'm going to end the show today on this, but honestly, it was a good reminder this last week that life is so dependent in our country and reality is so dependent in our country on people being willing to say the truth, even when it's really difficult to talk about, even when no one really wants to unpack that. Uh, and it was an interesting experience for me sitting in the CNN studios for my CNN debut. Hopefully I'll be back on the network at some point soon. They were very gracious to have me. But sitting around listening to people's analysis of how we got to a time in America where we elected a literal Muslim socialist to be the mayor of New York City. And then I'm listening to all of these left wing political commentators and analysts, the so called leading experts of the Democrat Party say, yeah, but he's not really, really going to be able to do any of this stuff. And by the way, nobody really wants socialism on the American political left. I'm sorry, what, like what kind of rock is everyone living under? It is insane to me that the media establishment powers that be, including in podcasting, by the way, not just, not just on TV and in radio and the legacy institutions that we know certainly have an agenda. It was astounding to me to see how many people really missed the mark on where young people are at in this country and how our country desperately needs moral clarity and stronger, stronger leadership in governance, in media, in academia, in the entertainment industry, period. Now more than ever before, my biggest hope for the Isabel Brown show and all of the work that we get to do at the Daily Wire, even here, beyond the show over the next several years, is that we can be that voice of moral clarity that we'll be willing to say the hard thing, even when it's difficult to hear and we're willing to go out and reach people where they are at, to understand what they are struggling with, what they need to thrive in this new American dream that we are going to be writing together on the show that has been our moral Compass since day one of this relaunch and what that means for our 250th year as a country. So I'm incredibly excited to be on this journey with you guys. I hope to get to know every single one of you. And last thing I'll say, we have heard a lot of your feedback so that you miss live chats, you miss doing some live stuff. So we are working on working that into our regular schedule on a more regular cadence as well because I miss live chats and I miss talking to you guys in real time. It has been so hard to fathom doing that even just once a week over the last couple of weeks because we've been traveling nonstop. A couple weeks ago I was in five states in five days with a five month old baby, which was genuinely psychotic. Pray for my sanity. But it's been a huge blessing. That said, we miss being able to talk to you guys in real time. So we are working on a lot of that and I see that feedback and thank you guys for letting us know. Love you. This weekend. Go get some sleep. Watch some Christmas movies. Put your Christmas tree up. The lights are already going up in New York City so who's to say they can't go up in your living room too? Love you guys so much. We will see you on Monday.
