Gang, as a fat person who struggles with arthritis badly- 3 surgeries - read that chronic inflammation I found this quite interesting. I have no idea if it's true, but it sure sounds right lol - I hijacked it from another site I follow. The crazy thing is we have really been trying to clean up and eat healthy - the wife is one of those folks who just doesn't change, never has to watch what she eats, but not me.. I can look at food and pick up 3 pounds.

But cleaning out processed junk, refined sugars and such, eating real home made sour dough bread and exercising has sure made a big difference the last year. I've not lost much weight, but feel so much better and can actually walk a good bit now pain free. I've picked up a good bit of muscle tone from riding the bicycle so that's a plus. 8 miles this morning and it wasn't a struggle and no pain. I also did a 3 month ivermectin protocol in January and started on marshmallow root tincture and nascent Iodine. Been an absolute game changer for my back, hip and knee pain. FWIW.. Lot of us on here are getting older and stiffer, might give you all some relief..

But this excerpt blew me away when I read it.

The FDA didn't fail — it was never designed to protect you. Since 1958, the GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) loophole has let food corporations self-certify their own ingredients as safe without a single federal review. The result? Thousands of chemicals, banned across the civilized world, remain legal in American food. This is not negligence. This is a business model that monetizes your slow sickness. The same companies that poison your bread, your soda, your snacks, and your kids' cereal fund the studies that exonerate them, write the regulations that shield them, and pay for the ads that gaslight you into believing this is normal. They engineered a food supply that hijacks your biology, overrides your satiety signals, and keeps you hooked, inflamed, and exhausted — then they call it "personal responsibility" when your body breaks. You are not weak. You are a survivor of a deliberate, decades-long assault on human health. So reject the lie. Read every label as if your life depends on it — because it does. If an ingredient is banned elsewhere, it doesn't belong in your body. Eat food that rots, not food that resists decay. Filter your water, cook on cast iron, refuse the thermal receipt, and for God's sake stop microwaving plastic. The system will not save you. So save yourself — loudly, stubbornly, starting right now.

what a damning commentary on our food supply and government..

Made a few for woodchuck 160's, doubled up 1/4" mesh with the trigger wires run through....I would use a plastic corrugated political sign now...make them too heavy and they're hard to keep set...
