I agree that veganism is a trainwreck for health (for most people). I also agree with the notion that animals raised in industrial settings are horribly mistreated and the food products that come from then are subpar. When I became aware of this dilemma, I started slowly switching over to purchasing foods that are more in line with my values. We raise our own chickens/turkeys, catch our own salmon and we buy other meat, eggs, and dairy from local farms that raise animals in an amazing way that is both good for the environment and provides a quality life for the animal. I will purchase industry raised meat and dairy on occasion (like when I travel and can't find any alternatives) but I try not to let much of my money support an industry that is all about making food as cheap as possible at the expense of the environment and the quality of life for the animals. I also grow as much of my own food as I can and support other local growers. It's a bit more expensive and a lot of work but the benefits to my health, the benefits to our local community's economy and the health of the environment - is worth it. It's also a very rewarding lifestyle that makes me happy. Spending time with
my children and grandchildren in these pursuits is so fun. There is nothing better than enjoying the fruits of your labor, watching things grow, and filling up freezers and shelfs with healthy meat and other wonderful foods. Many of these skills were lost when we traded them in for convenience, but we are now realizing the cost to our physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health for that convenience and it's a high price.
I added 2 Saw Palmetto caps to my vitamin/mineral intake 1 in the morning and 1 at night. You had kept telling me about hormones, which I never could tolerate at 74 I aged out of them, they hated my GI Tract. And kept telling the doctors NO thanks. Adding those two caps made a huge difference in overall well-being, more energy, and better concentration. While I still need my cane for balance, I can now shop with less stress, other than being frustrated with not finding the fresh foods on the shelves, produce I wouldn't slop a hog with. They sure aren't worth what our 1 store asks for them. That is an issue when 1 store dominates the whole end of your state. I don't know which is worse, Krogers or Walmart. Overpriced, poor quality.
True, I grew up on home canned, so the metal cans give my taste buds fit's especially fruits. I use the ones with juice, but it doesn't matter I still taste that metal can. This last summer I made my own Chunky Applesauce, Applebutter, and Apple Pie filling. Canned carrots, potatoes, and green beans survived. We made a trip to a Ripley, TN farm for 2 bushels of tomatoes. Good thing you get 3 years out of most home canned. And if I grow my own I control the fertilizers, usually what I compost. Their Extra Green green beans are better quality, I drain them, wash them, and use filtered water and a piece of Salt Pork. That comes close to what I grew up on. And limits the salt.
I avoid anything that says Carrageenan on it, it is a GI-destructive Seaweed. So my food selections are smaller. Which means more Carbs I don't need.
10 companies control all food production, and 4 are Baby Food.
My whole family lived in town. My Grandma didn't can, she worked jobs to support the family, Grandpa had died. My Mom didn't can, she worked to support our family. Dad had a government job, but it didn't pay as much as Mom's teaching job. We were far from rich. I have always worked a minimum of 40 hours a week. I don't have a clue how to can anything. It sounds like something I could do, but I learn better from being taught things like that. Just reading about them and trying to do it scares me. I'm afraid I'll poison myself.
It may take some searching, but almost everywhere now has organic farms that sell by subscription, and you get a weekly box of what's in season. I am a bit leery of some non-vetted farmer's markets, as I have seen some vendors buy rejected produce from the wholesalers and then display them in their booth as homegrown organic.
Not until the Farmer's market opens, I live rurally, and the 1 market is a 2 hr round trip. I'm not going into Memphis any more than forced to. Between the shootings and carjackings, no one is safe anywhere. Since I can I tend to grow much of my own. Last year we were hit with 110-degree heat and little rain, so poor yields. I want to expand my garden this year. Have my soil and Black Cow-bought planters, but we are in and out of cold and rain, too much to work on that. This Climate junk has gone too far. We were in the Tornado swarm last week. California Snowpack at 221% of Normal, Among Deepest Ever
Hmmm... there is some confusion here. Diets are not nutrition. "Diets" assume that our traditional nutritional model is valid, which is a questionable assumption.
Vegetarian and vegan are mostly ethical concerns, vegetarianism mostly religious in nature (Hindu, Jain, Buddhism, and some Christian denominations (e.g. SDA). T. Colin Campbell became the pioneer of plant-based nutrition. I went through all of them, my parents became vegetarian when I was 2.5, I became more omnivore starting in my late teens/early twenties, but after age 50 I started drifting towards vegetarian or vegan, but at age 65, I switched to #WFPB, based initially on Dr. Esselstyn's book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease." Then I studied Campbell and pretty much anything I could get my hands on, and took Campbell's nutrition course through eCornell.
This year (at age 72) I switched to a new PCP, and when I came in to discuss the results of my first physical, the conversation became about how I did it, what was my secret. I will now be teaching a class on Whole Foods Plant-Based nutrition and Cooking techniques there. BP 143/79, BMI 25, Total Cholesterol 132, and so on.
Thanks for your input. Lots to unpack here. I'll just mention one thing. I've become convinced the cholesterol story is almost a complete truth reversal and that higher cholesterol is a marker for better health and less inflammation. As you have seen, I have been heavily influenced by Mercola.
I want to know how we're supposed to live for any length of time considering how they're poisoning our food with toxins and now the MRNA vaccines. Several different reports now confirming that our animals will now be injected and it's already in the vegetables and wheat products.

For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
B12 has standard tests you can access anywhere and that most internists are conversant with. Deficiency is unheard of except for vegans, where it is common.
Consult someone in Worldlink Medical about that. I like Dr. Wilgarde in Palm Springs, phone number 760 320 4292. Not sure if he does virtual consultations. This "no hormones with factor V" sounds like an internist's myth, but that opinion is worth what it cost you.

The thing with Kroger that really fries my brain is they have a crappy selection of canned vegetables, too.

Thanks Dr. Yoho. Excellent post.
Thanks for your continued presence in the comments
Yes, Dr. Mercola has hit the nail on the head, I believe, in telling us to avoid seed oils! Looking forward to your post about that!
I do reposts every other one so it will drop in about a week. I put up to 30 hours in these. Best

I pray to God you're right because all of this food chatter is making me insane. It's so difficult to control your food supply when you have limited access to grow your own and that doesn't include proteins. At some point local farmers going outside of the system will be made to conform. Dr Mercola had an article out this morning about the other toxins (paraquat and diquat) they are spraying on our plants aside from glyphosate and apparently they are worse. It feels like a nonstop battle to survive these days. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2023/04/05/paraquat-and-diquat-to-face-trial.aspx?ui=bb05f52df2ee257bc785f6b2f5d855827506a737fc4565b928685c4d7116d5d2&sd=20220405&cid_source=dnl&cid_medium=email&cid_content=art1HL&cid=20230405_HL2&cid=DM1376549&bid=1764484868
chickens are easy, turn out an egg a day, and end up being pets.
I like your thought process on this!
Looks like the salk institute or UCSD was doing the mRNA into plants research. Sorry i can't find my link.
Doc, any thoughts on mRNA surviving cooking and digestion?
Seems doubtful but I'm no specialist. This seems more like Veternary vaccine fraud to me.

Dr. Yoho: avoiding allopathic doctors, what is the best way to test for B12 and other vitamins/nutrients? Is there a specific panel you suggest?
B12 has standard tests you can access anywhere and that most internists are conversant with. Deficiency is unheard of except for vegans, where it is common.
Lifeextension.com may have panels
With Factor V, you can’t take even bio-identical hormones. Although not medical advice, any ideas?
Consult someone in Worldlink Medical about that. I like Dr. Wilgarde in Palm Springs, phone number 760 320 4292. Not sure if he does virtual consultations. This "no hormones with factor V" sounds like an internist's myth, but that opinion is worth what it cost you.
Thoughts only, not references or data. This is another story we disbelieve unless it happens. Sounds like a psyop to me. Humans are resilient
A few chickens supply a lot of protein and they act like pets
