You can pretend that they don't want you dead...
but in actuality...

It started with the coalition government coming after your vitamins and supplements…lead into them wanting to reduce methane - which we all know means culling of herds to extinction and now they are coming after your vegetables too.

The New P2 plastic ban would thrust us back into 1970s-80s era for fruit and vegetables where a lot of items weren’t available year round, seasonally and locally grown only, and rotted in the grocery bags before you got them home.

On top of this, because of the added spoilage, in store, you can count on any item that is available to be a lot more expensive.

You see, in the 3% earnings that grocery stores are making, things like theft, spoilage and returned items that cannot be resold are factored in…and when you increase one of these factors, stores will consequentially push these prices on to YOU.

Walk into any American airport today and pause. Look around at the travelers waiting at the gate, the families queuing for fast food, the crowds rushing past. You are looking at a country that our grandparents would not recognize. In less than three generations, the very shape of the American body has shifted so dramatically that what would once have been regarded as rare or concerning is now routine. Airplane seats have been widened, retail clothing racks have been extended, mannequins have been reshaped, and soda cups have been enlarged. Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.

Yet our cultural ...
