The idea that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” stems from a 1944 cereal ad campaign—not science. Before cereal, breakfast wasn’t a set routine. Industrialization and clever marketing made it a daily habit. Cereal, born from moral reformers like Kellogg, was pushed as health food but became sugary and profitable. Today, people are rethinking breakfast, but its roots remain steeped in marketing, not necessity.

🦠 Aging and Digestive Enzymes
As we age, our body's production of digestive enzymes declines, leading to reduced digestion, nutrient absorption, and increased risk of health issues. Enzymes are vital for breaking down food, supporting metabolism, and overall health. Eating raw foods, chewing well, reducing calories, and taking natural enzyme supplements can help maintain digestive function and slow aging-related decline. We aren’t what we eat, but what we digest and absorb.

🍷 Opinion: Glyphosate in American Wines – A Hard Truth
Glyphosate, the toxic herbicide in Roundup, contaminates over 90% of U.S. wines—even some labeled organic. It’s less common but still present in Chilean, Argentinian, and European wines, depending on farming methods. Only wines from regenerative, biodynamic, or lab-tested sources can be trusted. We urge RFK Jr. and the USDA to ban glyphosate now and end the chemical poisoning of our food and drink—starting with American vineyards.
