[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Everybody this is a special end of February 2025 intro before we get into the normal intros to state that I've moved things around a bit. Now normally you know my Wednesdays are guest drops and Saturdays monologues. Every once in a while there will be a guest on Saturday but never a monologue on Wednesday. Well this end of February the last two weeks there are going to be two guest drops a week. Seven specials total in the month of February 2025 as I'm looking up at the TV today about news that RFK Jr. was indeed officially approved by the Senate 28HS. So I had hoped to have Joan Ifland on the show with her the discussion with her before he got approved but things didn't work that way so I'm moving her show which we do discuss health and the next four shows kind of sort of all pie either mental or physical health in some way altogether that's why I'm kind of bringing them all together pushing them up doing a Tuesday and Thursday the next to last week of February. February 18th will be Joan Eifland you could see me looking down if you're looking behind the scenes video so I can make sure I get it right on the calendar. Jack Lefonten will be on with me on the 20th healing not just the body but the mind the body and the soul so that relates in kind of this last month of February all health and body and mental related together and then the following week the last week of February February 25th special number six will be George Dubek and we're talking about networking to a better society that deals with our mental state our overall mental health as a society. So I'm bringing that in earlier than it would have normally been and after that February 27 of 2025 our friend D.P.B. is back with his new song about peer pressure which of course is mental health related so I ramble enough looks actually get to the intro I take care of God bless 

Welcome to ChristTtutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP I am your host Joseph M. Lenard and that L-E-N-A-R-D CTP is your no-mus no-fuss just me you and occasional death type pot really appreciate you tuning in to Grand Norton will say let's get out with the show! Hello everybody welcome to another episode of ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast before I get to my guest Joan Ifland a little personal note behind the scenes if I appear a little slow today if the brain seems a little scrambled today it is just not getting the proper sleep that I need so if there's a lot more a's and a's as I try to unscramble the brain to get together a thought or a question I apologize in advance to you the audience and indeed my guest but I sure didn't want to cancel this did not want to put it off important topic even though it's going to air after the new year into the new year sometime in 2025 behind the scenes we are recording on Wednesday December the 18th 2024 it will be important to know that for a reason as we go the other thing I wanted to mention is I want to try as best possible to avoid any partition related items here I'm 62 my entire lifetime I remember presidents every president having a health person of course the cabinet post but often there would be a school lunch program Zara as much as I hate that we use that word right or a health this a fitness that Arnold Schwarzenegger was health you know health and fitness consultant or whatever to George W Bush right so I don't want this to be partisan but as we go there will become some partisan questions and issues because unfortunately the dug on politics creep into everything and even though we've been talking about this my whole lifetime about getting healthier some people are attacking RFK junior and he's not even head of HHS yet so can we all please calm down and wait and see and try to cooperate and get something done for a change rather than the last 50 years talk talk talk talk and nothing really gets done or worse the opposite happens because I will mention later several times intent versus method versus the results different grades but that's for later so with that as a set up 

JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Welcome today Joan if-land not I-fland we made sure to clear that up if land like it looks IFL and the lead author of the textbook processed food addiction own O W and that's Oprah's old network food addiction specialist and innovator in food addiction recovery programs and I also want to give a shout out to Lori Dennison who I was actually communicating with in order to arrange to have you come up so finally finally we get to welcome to the show Joan Ifland how are you
JOAN IFLAND:  well thank you it's a huge honor to be here and I'm very grateful to be connecting with you it's rare that somebody wants to explore the politics of recovery from processed foods I'm real excited to be here before I get
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  directly or more involved and my show normally I try to keep around 30 minutes but I definitely see us going the full hour and if you've got the time who knows maybe beyond that okay if you're my audience knows I can't pass the puns no matter how lame and the word play there's a lot to process here but I'm pumped right we're sorry had to get the lame pun out of the way but indeed there is there a lot of questions a lot of rabbit holes go down but let's first start with indeed the website normally mentioned at the end food addiction reset calm and indeed well well no again pardon the scrambled brain we need we need to do the first thing first right to the who song who are you who who who where were you born where were you raised where are you now how much time did you spend in the prison well kidding aside no seriously yep your background what what you to where you are today so we know your credentials all right yeah
JOAN IFLAND:  let's do the let's do the thumbnail so I was born in 1951 in outside of Pittsburgh my dad PhD biochemist for consumer goods company I grew up in Cincinnati I took my BA in Oberlin College in political science and government political science and economics and then my first job was at the Wisconsin state legislature as a fiscal analyst I went there from there to Stanford business school because I wanted to switch over into business and from there to five years at a fortune 200 corporation on their fine other corporate finance staff from there a full-time mom I was too sick after two pregnancies to go back to work and for the next 10 years I just I raged I was depressed I had headaches I yo yo dieting and fatigue and brain fog and I was just an embarrassing mother I didn't do a good job with my kids but in January of 1996 I gave up sugars and flowers and my life just changed so radically the cravings went away and the brain fog went away and the fatigue went away I had been doing a lot of things to try to stop the raging because I was raised by ragers and it's very traumatizing and then their lifelong sinus infection went away and the allergies went away the things that had kept me from going back to work and then about three weeks into what I realized that I hadn't yelled at anybody in three weeks and that's what got me that's what got me into the field in that moment I said oh my I'm just gonna spend the rest of my life telling people what processed foods do to them so fast forward I wrote a popular book which I don't recommend it's not based on science and it's got some serious mistakes in it oh then I did go and get my PhD I earned a PhD in addictive nutrition out of school for new fields from there I wrote papers I had a prepared meal company none of the things that I did for the next well for the first 22 years of my recovery actually helped anybody and then finally in 2018 I so and then they're in there I wrote the textbook for the field so I really dove into the research for three years full-time 2,000 citations in that textbook you know you're asking like nobody's ever heard of food addiction how could there be so much research it's because addictions in general have a lot of characteristics they do a lot of damage and when you're reading the obesity research or the eating disorder research or the diabetes research they're describing aspects of addiction so I had plenty of plenty of evidence plus with brain imaging equipment one of the first things they did nor a vocal at the National Institute of Drug Addiction drug abuse she looked at what are the brains of obese people doing and how does that compare to the brains of drug addicted people and Bing Bing Bing she nailed it in the late 1990s oh those brains are doing the same things so it was the first like really stunning evidence that processed foods are not food the brain and the body don't interpret them as food it's turkeys them as drugs so 2018 zoom came along the textbook was finished I knew what we were looking for most people at this point I know this is going to be shocking but most people would qualify as having severe cravings they're really sick because of it but they can't stop eating it so in 2018 I founded an online community based on zoom and Facebook and it was a whole combination of services but now here we are almost seven years into it and I've just recently been awarded a patent for this process of getting people off the processed foods and we're shifting our focus from addiction recovery to chronic illness remission because now seven years into this we've seen I mean this is going to sound way over the top but honestly we've seen almost every incurable chronic illness go into remission well you're
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  kind of sort of reaching to the choir here because I have been on the ability since 2004 due to health issues myself that you saw me drink right I indeed drinking plain water yeah and trying to avoid the roller coaster of the sugar caffeine highs and lows the the addiction of it indeed the craving of it and the crashing that occurs when you're not getting it and indeed well today I've got brain fog due to not enough sleep but but yes I'm healthier now that I'm still not healthy but I'm healthier than I was thank God so that is not you and also I'm beginning of your story of where you I said oh no I don't know if you heard that when you mentioned Pittsburgh I hope you're not still a penguins fan since I'm in the land of the Detroit dead wings
JOAN IFLAND:  yeah I grew up in Cincinnati and and I now live in Seattle oh and actually I lived in I lived in New York for the New York City area for 13 years 23 years in Houston so I am I'm Tri Coastal I got a favorite theme on every coast uh-huh so
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you should be a Seattle Kraken fan now yeah but anyway you're not here to discuss sports we got so much to pack in or I'd happily go down that road but the website foodaddictionreset.com that was created when and obviously what
JOAN IFLAND:  will people find there okay so the most valuable thing you will find there is a self quiz based on the 11 signs that you have by a tobacco style marketing techniques brought over to process food that's in the mid 1980s the tobacco industry bought craft and Nabisco and general foods bing bing bing really fast three short years in the mid 1980s and you remember I've got a business background I'm a business analyst type person and they brought a very specific business model it's a very specifically of doing business when you have a worthless product worthless destructive product like a cigarette like processed foods like vaping like alcohol like opioids you have to use a particular business model you cannot sell the product based on the real value of the product because the product has no value in fact it's destructive so you have to create a fantasy around the product and then you have to hide addictive substances in the product you have to create these artificial cravings cravings are not normal and they're not they're not you know people say oh you know I have a craving I'm gonna go you know that's a sign that a business model has created cravings in your brain has a method for selling a product so that's what happened in the mid 1980s so if you go to our website and you see this list of 11 signs it's 11 signs that the tobacco style food process food industry has trained your brain to crave against your will and to your detriment but there's but there it is go take the self quiz you'll get an email inviting you to a free workshop called food addiction next steps also go there if you have a chronic illness that you want to put into remission yeah and I yeah yeah like I
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  say I I drink mostly water but it doesn't stop me from having a Coca-Cola like earlier today when I went to dinner I had a Coca-Cola but I'm not drinking eight liters of it at night anymore so the moderation it makes a
JOAN IFLAND:  difference in matters the more you use of it the sicker you will be the less you use it the healthier you will be and your ability to control how much of you use it you use it based on is based really on having the skill set of
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  controlling those cravings yeah like I said I had a what no actually I had sweet and tea with real sugar so I'll get to that in a minute the other day indeed I did have a Coke but normally if I be out I get a Coke and I have three refills right but now if I have a Coke I'm lucky to drink half of it because I want to enjoy the taste I do enjoy the taste I don't want to completely deprive myself but indeed moderation matters
JOAN IFLAND:  right exactly badly describe the battle it's the battle between the craving brain in the midbrain and the frontal lobe which knows better and the idea that your frontal lobe is going to be in charge and functioning powerfully all the time when you have these industries that are back here pumping you know provoking stimulating those cravings that's not realistic that your their frontal lobe is going to win that battle every time instead of a lot of the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  skill set yeah so instead of like to use a young child analogy and a bad parent constantly caving if the kids having the tantrum giving it whatever it wants you not giving yourself what that kicking child kid in your head is saying I want you've got to be your own parent in a sense yes really good analogy yeah and
JOAN IFLAND:  there's some to see there's another force in the brain for feeling normal accepted cherished protected in a group and that the highest most human survival instinct is to be accepted and feel normal and so if you're in a situation where everybody around you is using processed foods everybody around you is sick and you don't join in you're gonna have a boomerang effect in your brain the next day it's just the survival and string is going to say you're gonna eat that look everybody's eating that if you don't eat that if you're not accepted if they don't welcome you you're you're gonna die you know the hyenas are gonna get you so sometimes it's better to satisfy the survival part of the brain that wants you to feel normal because it could be more difficult the next day it's it's really it's fun to understand different forces in the brain because it empowers us it makes us having the skill set and the understanding that just means that if you do eat something because everybody's eating it you're not going to blame yourself you're not going to beat yourself up you're not going to eat yourself you're like okay well I saw that you know my survival instinct to feel normal and fit in was at play I'm good maybe you and you might want to like rethink whether you want to hang out with those people anymore especially if you're trying to put diabetes into remission you're trying to avoid an amputation you're trying to avoid going blind you're trying to avoid losing your kidneys and you're like hmm you know what maybe it's not really a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  good idea to hang out with us like an alcoholic and you an alcoholic has to change their friends you can't be with the bar crowd anymore or you have the greater chance at relapse I want to go into sugar in a minute but I did go to a bar and got a bar burger today and fries normally though 20 years ago I would have eaten that whole burger and all those but instead I eat a little and the bar burger is ground beef as opposed to going to McDonald's which is not to say I deprived myself I go to McDonald's every once in a while but this is a
JOAN IFLAND:  treat not an everyday thing everybody is weaving their own path you know based on their health profile based on their health goals based on the amount of stressors in their lives stress stress will kick up cravings any kind of an intense emotion like I know more people that laps at weddings which are happy events than practically any that really then even funerals it's just you there for a little celebration one the loose right that the cueing the triggering the stimulation the signaling it's all so intense and it goes on for hours and hours you might be someplace for the entire weekend and when you understand what it means for this stimulation to build up in your brain and cause you know result in you eating something that you really don't want to eat if you understand the mechanics then you can say okay I need to and then you have the skill set to pull yourself back out of the cravings because eating something can cause really intense cravings it's a risky thing to do but if you have a skill set for climbing back out of the cravings you know you have somebody to talk to about it you know what the cue building up is and you know you're not blaming yourself and you've got uncraving clean real food available to you you can climb back out of it as opposed to the person who has that piece of cake at the wedding and they're still binging five years later you have to know yourself and what I really like about your sharing is you know yourself I have
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  come to know myself I have several shows this show is about self-reflection that's what we're talking here walk into your bathroom look yourself in the mirror can you will you be honest with yourself or lie to yourself can you handle the questions instead of getting mad at us honestly answer the questions or get mad at us how dare we make you ask a question it's because you're mad at us because you're really mad at yourself you know the answer would be
JOAN IFLAND:  inconvenient I just that that phrase your matter yourself is actually really well documented in the research because of the messaging from the cultures particularly the weight loss industry in the medical industry oh you should be able to control this you should be able to improve your diet not when you have a processed food tobacco style industry constantly stimulating your bit brain into cravings and all the TV ads radio ads and stressful entertainment stress triggers cravings and then because of it yes the take fix triggers a lot of things trigger cravings but as you gain the skills people are hate themselves they're mad at themselves they hate themselves they don't like themselves they reject it's called self stigmatization it's it's a very painful aspect of this existence why can't I stop eating why can't I lose the weight why can't I get my glucose numbers under control why is my blood pressure out of control and and they're being told which is not true oh you should be able to do that you should be able to you know control your food you're just a glutton you're out of control you have an addictive person no no no no no you're being stimulated into insanity by tobacco style processed food marketing and it takes a skill set of protecting yourself shielding yourself from that kind of triggering plus the social pressure to consume these toxic foods this is not your fault this is not your fault and please don't be mad at yourself you're you're being challenged here this is beautiful oh but that's that's the first
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  challenge first step to self awareness right it's like grieving I say that about politics someone recognizing finally they're wrong they're gonna go through shock denial anger before they get to acceptance that's part of the self realization journey I want to go back to my drink at dinner I had iced tea and real sugar packets into it you're you're weaving your way through this minefield
JOAN IFLAND:  of a of a restaurant menu yeah but I could have just had a water right but
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  again I treated myself to that and knowing I'm in control normally I drink three of them I drank half of it but what I'm leading to is one I'm not a doctor nor do I even play one on TV or the radio but I want to lay out a theorem and you respond scientifically if I'm on track or I'm wacko but let's do it let's to set it up does everyone remember saccharine but people are out there drinking diet this diet that and wondering why they're not losing weight that's because there are artificial chemicals in there your body cannot break down and deal with so you're not losing the weight you thought you would because I contend I was better off putting real sugar and controlling the amount I had rather than having three diet coaks because again saccharine was found to cause cancer it was eliminated again I'm not a doctor I'm not a scientist but it's my contention at some point in the future they're going to finally admit to the fact those chemicals are not being processed so you are doing more harm than
JOAN IFLAND:  good any artificial sweetener even stevia any kind of concentrate so here's how it works you your tongue it starts with the the contact in of a taste bud gets that intense sweet flavor it panics because high blood glucose can kill you low blood glucose can kill you there's a safety zone for glucose but all the alarm bells go off because you have this intense sweet taste and your pancreas panics and it releases a ton of insulin because at the whole system is expecting this load of sugar this load of glucose so okay oh my gosh we're gonna get the most awful glucose surge because you can taste it it's it's coming it's coming so the pancreas panics and listen really just a bunch of insulin which now is out there in the bloodstream taking every little bit of glucose and storing it into fat muscle and liver so that you don't die from this big daylose of glucose coming and then it doesn't come boom your glucose is crashing thank you now in danger of dying from low blood glucose now here's the sad thing your body that you don't die because the adrenal glands release adrenaline because adrenaline will go running over to those muscle cells in the fat cells and pull that glucose back into your system so you don't die but the other way that your brain can get that glucose back up is to get you to go and binge on a sugar item our artificial sweeteners are set up for sugar
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  binging flour binging refined carbohydrate binging I want to thank you so much for upholding again not a doctor not a scientist but I've got functioning brain cells and common sense I can put two and two together and get more not seven right
JOAN IFLAND:  yes you have artificial sweeteners in everything and people are gaining weight like crazy yes doesn't take it doesn't take a scientist but I think it's nice to know the underlying mechanism no and so not crazy you haven't lost control it's not your childhood issues it's not that you lack well flour it's not that you don't want it or any of the other insane things that people say about to explain to you why you're why you're overeating you're being grossly manipulated horrifically manipulated the third industry but then the medical
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  industry comes along and says oh oh here's a pill for a little something ozimpic right how tragic just shoot up the rest of your life to artificially counter what you've artificially done to yourself so now you've got two competing artificial problems that are going to cause additional new other side effects
JOAN IFLAND:  well you know the saddest thing about that is that if you try to just you know bandaid this and you don't get down and fix it they go to the root causes then you never get a chance to be free so human beings are absolutely spectacular they're so wonderful they're kind they're generous they're smart they're funny but if you have chemicals in your body you you move you know you never get the thrill of it's willing to be a human being and when you have these chemicals that are depressing they have side effects they they create this extra anxiety you're tired your brain fogged even if you're cutting back on the processed foods because you don't have cravings for them everywhere you go there they are you're eating them and I think it's a weight issue it's not a weight issue it's in every cell in your body functioning happily issue well now
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  I mean people can look at me on the behind-the-scenes video at pitch you bright-down daily motion rumble and YouTube I'm not starving away by any sense right my BMI is a little high I could stand to lose some pounds but it's now critical it's not critical at this point and I'm not yo-yoing which is a whole other problem in and of itself but yeah I would yeah thank you again for clinically stating the underlying facts and factors people needed to hear that indeed that common sense is clinically backed up yes yes there's science behind
JOAN IFLAND:  it but I want to offer you something about weight status this is a study that came out it had its like nanosecond of fame and then it disappeared and it was because I ran counter I can't ran counter to the medical industry and the weight loss industry here was the finding this was a statistical study that was done by the by the top statisticians at the National Institutes of Health absolutely unassailable no no chance for a mistake here's what they found people in the overweight category live the longest not the normal weight category certainly not thin you know it's it's people in the overweight category live longest people in the normal category we live next longest but people in the thin category are they live shorter lives than people in the overweight category and then you get obesity and severe
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  obesity no I'm glad you went there because I think that was the next important thing to say a big difference between a little overweight and obesity definitely that kind of overweight not good okay but I want to offer you something else
JOAN IFLAND:  even in that discussion which is obesity is not causing the diseases processed foods are causing the diseases so people like maybe they have a hundred pounds to lose and they think oh you know it's gonna take too long it won't have any impact and everybody's telling them it's the weight it's the weight it's weight that is not true it's the processed foods because we have all kinds of people who get off the processed foods they get support they they're in a community where it feels normal to eat real food and that's that's often the deciding factor for people to get control over their food but they could still have a hundred pounds to lose but because they're off their processed foods their blood pressure is going to normal rapidly their blood glucose is going to normal rapidly their heart rates are normalizing rapidly like we tell people you've got to be in touch with your doctor to deep prescribe you could fall yeah because blood pressure is too low because you you don't have the underlying cause is no longer there but you're still taking the medication to bring it down your blood pressure could be too low your heartbeat could be too slow your blood glucose could be too low and you could be in medical trouble from being now over medicated so I just want people to be excited about giving up processed foods the benefits are going to come within days you're not gonna have to wait that talk about instant gratification
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you start to live in this world right now now now now now what do I get out of this now not next week not next year now and you're outlining benefits now so I do want to pivot now I think we've covered enough of that to make the difference without dwelling on it and getting down into such a deep hole people want to go you know snooed boring right so the hot shift a little to the politics and again at the top I pointed out the issue of intent the road to hell was paid for good intentions a lot of times as they say method matters and results have to matter right now so looking politically I want to go back and people that are regular to the show are gonna freak out I know their heads are gonna explode because I'm about to praise Bill Clinton for something you know for for we're not talking the intern staff and policy except for here I have and by the time this airs those shows will have passed but we the people the man list a kind of new quasi contract with America one of the items I call for is a return to midnight basketball as it was called now the intent then was more anti-crime but the side benefit was exercise and especially now with kids constantly with the VR goggles in virtual world rather than dealing with the real world I say we need to bring that back the intention in my mind with Bill and now and a plus Bill Clinton's methodology I give him a B plus right nobody was forced to do it let's make it so it's offered in available get kids then off the streets and away from the gangs today the need to get them off their dog on couch and doing something so I think again as long as it's that mandated you know a like JFK the Peace Corps again that was voluntary but like in Israel they mandate military service that's a good thing and there's very many reasons for that but I don't want a dictatorial mandated through junior high you will engage in this like it or not so method matters and the last thing is the results were good under Bill Clinton there's no reason to not think results will not be perfect but better so bringing midnight basketball or soccer or hockey or indoor football or whatever you would sign up for that as a good thing then I'm taking it by your shaking your head it is a good thing it's it's
JOAN IFLAND:  it's common sense a good thing but that's absolutely not where I would start
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  well it's an easy place can we do some of the easy stuff because people are going to fight on the more difficult stuff like they are already attacking
JOAN IFLAND:  our of K junior he's not even in a lot of that let's swing around RFK but here's the thing here's the thing here's the thing is that for the last 40 years since tobacco started at this tobacco style marketing and processed foods they hit a lot of high fructose corn syrup in the food they hit a lot of extra fat and salt in the food just like they had nicotine and cigarettes and pyrazine they attacked small children they took the marble country's tour and they transformed it into the Kool-Aid wacky warehouse to a dick two-year-old to sugar they did all this stuff it's all marketing stuff so let's look you know the idea here is that that we can talk about is taking some of the things that worked for tobacco control which Clinton was involved and he had us names gone straight out on my head he wrote the book the end of overeating but he was that at the FDA and he went into the trenches to fight the tobacco industry yeah so here's what we got and it worked we got control of information on the packaging so that you know just saying that this is and this is this is worked in other countries so in Chile for example they have a rating system on the package if it's high in sugar or it's high in fact it's got a warning sign on it it worked in tobacco and it can work in process foods now that that it gets we are on
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  the same page but again there will be people in the back pocket of the food lobby and the farm lobby you will fight it so it'll be more difficult but I agree with if our instead of fighting it if we cooperate I don't want to get to Tori take away your big mat I want you to be able to buy it but it has to and we did it in the past we put the labels of the calorie and the blah blah blah blah we need to go a little further I agree with that now like if it's got red dye 40 that everybody's talking about I don't want to dictate that that be removed you want to buy that it has your morning label and I am as anti-taxes they come I'm all for a bad foods tax if you want right now 40
JOAN IFLAND:  pay more for it because then we're going to be spending money treating you for the consequences so you take that we've got established policies that we know work out I will say work in quotations because I think what happened why did the tobacco industry specifically go into processed foods because we already had evidence that when people stop smoking they gain weight so tobacco chose a market to go to where people were going to be moving anyway so what happened was by controlling tobacco tobacco education tobacco taxes limited purchasing you know they took they restricted purchasing opportunities and and then warning labels all that stuff worked but I think what happened is
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  secretors secretors are still available again you want to buy it you assume that
JOAN IFLAND:  risk but here's the thing that we did not do and it's the reason why we are so incredibly sick today we didn't treat the cravings we we were totally sitting ducks for the tobacco food industry to come along and just walk our cravings to cigarettes and processed foods and attack small children oh my gosh this is a great improvement the processed food that food industry today I think it's about a 2.7 trillion dollar industry but there's another huge huge difference between tobacco and processed foods in tobacco the medical industry swung around and got behind tobacco cessation but the medical industry today now I'm glad you're sitting down this is a shocking number the medical industry today is a revenue has revenue of 4.5 trillion dollars now here get ready here's here's the worst part 90% of that is related to these chronic diet related diseases that is 17% of the US domestic economy so if you put the two together the food industry and the medical industry you're talking about 25% of the US domestic economy and that if you just swing around back to your your good questions about the political situation that answers the questions about the political situation yeah and then he will be shredded yeah exactly yeah the lobbyists and the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  politicians who crave the money in their back pockets will and that's why we have to have all these things brought into Congress and put on the record who is voting against these things right I don't want to take away choice but I want like our of K junior says about vaccines I want informed consent and like now I want to shift to the Obama years right Michelle Obama intentions give her an A plus the school lunch program the methodology however D minus result well yes complete let me finish the setup yeah what happened is is they mandated and dictated you will eat this and the kids are throwing it out they're not
JOAN IFLAND:  eating it well here's you know she started talking about cutting back on processed foods and the Democratic Party which depends on contributions from the process food industry no no no no no no she is not allowed to talk about that and so she hit on the what was it let's move America program so she was switched over to let's move but let's move so trying to treat what most people now most Americans now meet the criteria for a severe cravings disorder if you you know there's 11 signs that I was talking about earlier I adapted those from the criteria for alcoholism and the threshold that the American Psychiatric Association has established they've said if you need six or more of these criteria you're in this severely and you need immersion recovery you really need to be protected from triggering you need to be protected from availability of the whatever the substance is and most Americans well over 80% of Americans would meet six or more of those criteria so you've got a severe mental imbalance you've got severe release of these craving neurotransmitters in the brain and the frontal lobe cannot compete it cannot put out enough rational I don't want to eat that neurotransmitters that these two parts of the brain are competing for control of the behavior centers so the craving centers win win win win Americans are eating 73% of their food in processed foods and 93% of Americans have more one or more of either high triglycerides high blood glucose high blood pressure or fat tissue on their bodies so 93% of the country have a diet related diagnosis eating 73% of their food and processed foods this is these are massive profit centers if they're massive profit centers for the medical industry they're massive process process profit centers for the pharmaceutical industry they're massive profit centers for the process food industry their massive profit centers for the agricultural industry this has gonna have to come from the ground up it's going to have to be a natural evolution and I do have an answer so I've talked for a while I'd like to hear your response but then I want to talk about what I think are all the solution we'll
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  move into the conclusions in a minute I want to go back to personal anecdotal experience and you can agree or disagree but I said it right when I was in school way back when well they were teaching reading writing an aristotic tick not Ronch perversion and peddling racism that's whole other topic you're not here for but school lunches right sometimes I would eat the better lunch entrees that were offered some days I wanted a pizza burger and a shake and to me it's levels of offerings like I used to drink carnation instant breakfast sometimes for breakfast rather than eggs or pancakes or whatnot so to me I want to solve it through options and choice because again forcing this good on them and them not eating it is worse in my mind than the pizza burger on occasion no food means they're not gonna learn anything because they're hungry they're hungry they're fidgety they can't focus and pay attention in school so we've got to have the balance have the good meal have the occasional other thing that they're gonna want to have have the carnation instant breakfast if you refuse to eat what's available at least have that so you're getting some nutrients that to me makes common sense do you agree disagree I can offer you
JOAN IFLAND:  some other ways if you have the education and you're in a support group in a community that is reinforcing this education all the time what you want to do is you want your food choices to come up from way deep down inside of you because on the morning when you have the carnation instant breakfast you're tired you have racing thoughts you can't focus but on the morning when you have the eggs and bacon you're sharp and you're you have good energy and you're smart and you're clear and you're productive after a while this is coming up from deep inside of you you just have a natural aversion to the carnation breakfast and you love your exit and bacon or sausage you know good sausage not crappy sausage but this is this is this is where we we don't tell people what to do we have support communities we have remission communities we have training for advocates for people to help other people we do that into that
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  in a second but we don't tell people what to do mandating and dictating is anti-human nature who if push push you're gonna get push back yeah but what's
JOAN IFLAND:  irresponsible is to make those products available without educating yeah they're toxic and unbelievably destructive one point seven million Americans more than five times the worst year of covid one point seven million Americans die from this every year they have short lives those grandchildren don't have their grandparents husbands don't have their wives so you do it's immoral to me to put products on the market that kill people without educating people not just about the the consequences but also about how to avoid the cravings that that will override cravings will override education what I hear is that we're on
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  the same page of informed consent and proper scientific evidence facts not study bought and paid for by so-and-so giving results that they bought and paid to have like we get in a lot of the climate hoax things again a whole other topic but indeed moving to conclusion and food edition reset.com
JOAN IFLAND:  don't let me don't let me leave without my big my big finale. Okay you know what I the non-smoking started in restaurants the environmental moves started in elementary schools I think recovery from process foods is going to happen in workplaces because it's the only place where the money is on the same side of the table so if you know if I'm a doctor I want to get money out of you and in order for me to get money out of you I have to keep you sick but in a workplace the management the ownership is paying hand over fist for medical expenses and if I so we're starting up a consulting business here we will go into a workplace and we will say let's educate your clients your employees let's make it normal to eat real food let's make it normal to be healthy to not be taking any medications because your doctor has be as deep prescribed them let's get that educate let's get that skill building let's teach people where those cravings are coming from and how to shield not just yourself but your family against them and then the expenses of the business drop so the business gets the money from making the effort it's the only place where the money is
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  on the right side of the table that makes sense yeah profit motive some will tell you oh my oh you're just being greedy that's evil and the business and when it's a huge thing is I agree and the business also changed by having healthier employees but they show up to work
JOAN IFLAND:  they're not sicking home all the time yeah they're not they're not there's present t is in where your present but you're too sick to work brain fog fatigue depression anger all of those things that process foods are related to yeah well you were very kind to let
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  me get my last for wrong that makes perfect sense it does that again to me I don't need to be a doctor I don't need to be a scientist I just have to be a thinker and able to apply common sense and you know that's why it'll never work you're trying to apply common sense
JOAN IFLAND:  well you know being an MBA having a business background spending those five years in a corporate environment I think I've got the right button they do have to produce profits this is basically what we have in the us today is unregulated capitalism which is why these companies are able to kill off 1.7 million of the population every year and and get away with it
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  and the employees should have a financial greed self-greed if we want to put that label on it motivation because companies are no longer covering full health care unless if you've got a massive Cadillac benefit being paid for forced by union contracts most people have to pay something at least for their health insurance and if we get better those costs will come down your portion will come down also well it's people have no idea how financially
JOAN IFLAND:  ruinous processed foods are it costs a lot to buy that much food and you're sick all the time so you're not getting promoted you're you don't have the self-confidence to go for promotions you if you're being if you're an hourly worker you're not at work because you're sick frequently you're buying all these different sizes of clothing and you're buying over the over the counter medications and you might have like restless spending addiction and other numbing like gambling addiction this is painful and you want to numb out so you can have you know other addictions as a consequence it's it's financially ruinous and people will run up credit card debt to pay for
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you know midnight runs to the convenience store and so i thought we might disagree more than we have i think we are pretty much on the same pages the how the how we yeah the how we get it done how fast we get it done versus the resistance we know we're going to get what can we do now what can we do a little later what may have to wait we didn't get here overnight right so it won't happen by waving the magic wand and fixing it all overnight let's get what we can right away like a midnight basketball and warning labels at least because again i do not
JOAN IFLAND:  programs for workplaces i want programs for work that's how about tax incentives
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  lower if they've got them lower their taxes and then said i don't want the tutorial commie facie socies mandy hand down you will do this that will definitely not work
JOAN IFLAND:  in the education changing your environment changing the signaling the stimulation in your environment i'm just going to encourage you to put that at the top of the list yeah you know smoking zones we're very helpful in helping people give up the cigarettes i think they win over too
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  far later and now most restaurants are entirely smoke-free and pushing them outside the smoke you know people are attacking cigar bars want to show no let people again if you don't go there nobody's required to go to a cigar bar if the more you try to force it the more you're going to get pushed back because of the human nature so we have one you know if you like try to take
JOAN IFLAND:  the process foods out of a business for example by the water by case you're out of support you'll just walk out the door and go to the convenience store and get them and i've had managers tell me that oh no this isn't going to work it only works because you have skills and you have education and and common knowledge you've got to be in an environment where everybody understands what you're doing nobody's ridiculing you or or denying your reality and people can share wins so oh my gosh my diabetes is gone that's not possible but then the other person over here oh my diabetes is going to all of a sudden your brain starts thinking oh oh it must be possible to put nobody's there really and that and now they're interested because nobody wants
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  to be a diabetic yeah well bringing this both circle one yeah we've already gone over an hour as i figured we would like with a lot of guests we could go on for three days a little long three hours but we got a hand somewhere but bringing it back to as i introduced at the beginning intent there's great intent here but it doesn't matter if it's not followed with a good methodology that indeed incentivizes rather than punishes only to get the results so back to clinton a plus b plus b plus obama a plus on the intention c minus on the method and an object failure in the results all of those things matter so thank you i haven't said your name in a while gone ifland for joining i knew even if we were going to disagree on things that this would be a great conversation a very important conversation that we have and and like i say in other episodes we the people you can't go back to sleep voting isn't enough like all of this you've got to be active and involved awake and alert not a sheeple following the crowd right i kind of heard a lot of that without those specific words from you tonight applying common sense not the brainwashing coming in from the tv principles not personality there will be things i agree with our kjrron there may be things i don't agree with him on but attacking him just for the sake of attacking him to protect big pharma or big processed foods that's not a principle that's unprincipled and then engaging in personal character assassination and we've got to we've got to deal with the issues we may not always like the questions or the answers but we've got to be willing to have the discussions yeah i hope you invite me back
JOAN IFLAND:  oh thank you we could talk another hour i i love talking it's rare to find somebody who really wants to get into the politics or the media treatment i like what you're talking about this is not uh you know we've kind of lost traction on the value of issues and now we are into just character personality it's just sad to see politics going away yeah i don't know you remember that
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  group all i can't remember the name of the group but they they sang cult of personality right there's a lot of that it's a lot of personality and following the celebrity following the crowd emotion-based feedback rather than thinking this show was about faith but thinking about it logic and reason can you argue it without well just because i feel that way no that's not an answer that's not a valid answer can you back it up with any valid logic reason thought right so indeed i i foresee we probably need a follow-up after r of k is hopefully sworn in and we have six months to see what is or is not happening as a follow-up i will definitely
JOAN IFLAND:  i'm going to be looking for that invitation i have enjoyed this thoroughly i love talking to
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you it's great most people yeah half tongue in cheek right because i like this if you can't laugh at yourself you shouldn't be laughing at anybody else and with the serious as things are you gotta keep a sense of humor so i'm going to make fun of myself here and say most people cover the kids ears god i never want to talk to that asshole again right fun i think you're an asshole i'm hoping fun i'm sure most don't but no doubt some do but again yes you can't poke fun at yourself self-reflection as we talked about can you look yourself in the mirror honestly ask questions or are you gonna get them out of shape because you know you wouldn't like the answers if you were honest with yourself
JOAN IFLAND:  well just remember that somebody is manipulating your brain don't get mad at yourself you are we're not paralyzed and we're not sitting back and saying oh this isn't my fault i'm not going to do anything we're saying this isn't my fault and i am going to get the skills to do something
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  about this thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you again for coming all right i'm glad that you know even despite my brain fog due to not enough sleep i'm glad i didn't try to cancel and put it off we need this discussion we need anything i'm glad to know you thank you and so thank you take care god bless take care you too have a good evening have a good life but i'll see you in six months i hope so yeah if you don't hear from me i'll get laurie to reach out right i was just going to say that help tap laurie dennis should put it on the calendar for six months if you didn't hear from me come knocking at my door again the email we definitely will need to follow up take care all right take care god bless

BONUS MATERIAL BELOW from: TheLibertyBeacon "RFK Jr. as Health Secretary?" [See original piece at: https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/rfk-jr-as-health-secretary/  , for referenced links, images, and embedded videos.] 






[ Oct 26 2024 – 1,500 words, 0 images, 1 videos – conjunction w/ CTP S2E71 ]  


RFK Jr. as Health Secretary?

Yep, gonna start again with: There will be several pieces you will see me say TRUMP BLEW IT on this or that in the September Debate, and to me HEALTH ISSUES this was another MISSED OPPORTUNITY by Trump to tout the WE WILL MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN alliance between him and RFK Jr….

Since RFK Jr. dropped out of the Presidential Race and Endorsed Donald J. Trump for President (to become POTUS47) there has been a lot of “Unity Ticket” talk. 1 Many are floating that RFK Jr. may indeed be appointed Head of HHS (Health and Human-Services) as part of Trump’s Cabinet. And, yes, what may Tulsi Gabbard (former HI Representative and also former Presidential Candidate on the Fascicrats side), who also claims “The DNC Left them” and now a Trump supporter/advocate, Head as part of Trump’s Cabinet (but that is a discussion for another day; as well as my Hope that Leo Terrell will have a spot somewhere with Trump on January 20th 2025 swear-in day (like Press-Secretary giving it back to the #ENEMEdia since it was all the Left Biased MSM that caused him to Red-Pill 2)).

I have been on Record (and NOT going to change my tune now, just because he is supporting Trump/MAGA 3) as saying “RFK Jr. is far more Teddy Kennedy loon than JFK or his Father “Conservative Democrat” (which such thing no longer exists these days 4)) and so does a “Unity Ticket” effort and hint he may take such a Post really HELP or HURT (and one-hand, and in some-respects, IMO, it does help, but on-the-other-hand indeed hurts – question is: are the Pro’s going to outweigh the Con’s?!?! Sure do not want the “Climate Hoaxer” fanatic anywhere near the EPA or such). Just because someone I could not ever, would not ever, consider for POTUS, does not exclude them from being qualified for an appropriate, carefully selected, Cabinet post – the two are not mutually exclusive.

Yes, our Foods of choice usually not as Healthy. I think most “thinking” folks understand that and at least try to (at least I hope you do, try) employ the “everything in moderation” philosophy – as it is expensive to buy and cook “all natural” grown/harvested fare. And, of course, while we all share some relevant same DNA, we are indeed all unique and different individuals and Eating habits “consequences” or “benefits” (if only Healthy Food enthusiasts) vary. Yes, can’t pass, gotta recite the “your milage may vary” phrase. 5

But seriously too – with 8 Billion folks on Earth, and growing, we are only able to Feed more and more People (yes, some still starving, but more than ever able to be fed and at relatively reasonable cost) due to advancements in Fertilizer, GMO’s, etc., our modern tech advancements have wrought. The issue of “practicality: with every growing number of People needing be fed has to be a realistic part/variable in these discussions. And, frankly, it will be somewhat difficult to “convince” vast majority that it is in their own best interests and would lower their Health-Care costs (and need for less dependence on Pharmaceuticals (something Big-Pharma 6 will NOT be happy about/with) and therefore more Pro than Con to them in the long-run…. Where was I? Oh yea, will be difficult to convince many because WITH all these supposedly going to KILL US Foods – we as Humans, on average, Living longer than ever before. 6

This all isn’t cut-and-dry, 100% black/white, up/down, good/bad; GREY-AREAS 7; there are Pros and Cons to any and all changes that could/might be proposed via HHS, FDA, etc., no matter who is Head of any of those Agencies – as the Horse is now out of the Barn as the saying goes. The discussion has ramped up and People will be expected at least SOME actions of the next Presidential Administration regardless who will be sworn in on Jan. 20th 2025.

So, indeed, perhaps RFK Jr. could/may bring us more toward sustainable more Healthy Foods – at least for those that can afford such. We have to be REALISTIC that we are not, cannot, should never, OUTLAW the advancements made that indeed allow the ever growing numbers of Humans on this Planet. We can/could/should indeed, whatever way we can, and mostly in-part perhaps through PSA’s (Public Service Announcements) to try MOVE (by Peoples’ own Choices/desires) to want to be Healthier and IF we have sound other fiscal/Economy policies – Economic BOOM so that more and more can/could/would be able to afford BETTER CHOICES/OPTIONS!!!!

1 I spoke to about the DUMBocrats/demoKKKrats/Fascicrats/CommieFasciSocies Convention with Rick Walker of Maverick News Canada (which can be seen via  (B4IN piece) “DNC - Please Stop, My Sides Hurt From Laughing at All Your BS. Lies, Hypocrisy, SPIN, etc...” and YouTUBE Vid “Maverick News - DNC Night 4 of LIES wrap-up” (and related “Maverick News: RFK Jr. endorses Trump” discussion))) about what we on The Right stand-for, call-for, have done and/or actually say we will/would do if granted full-control of White-House, House of Representatives, the U. S. Senate, and sufficient numbers of actual Constitutional originalist Justices (from low-courts, Appeals, and SCOTUS levels).

See Buzzsprout podcasts Transcript for full Show Notes (related links) and Transcript Bonus  
#PrinciplesNotPersonalities - it should be a simple concept, but sadly many (both Left and Right) are more "rah rah" my guy/gal whatever rather than be honest/true to self and uphold their own "supposed" set of Principles/Values. Remember the recent CTP "Speculations and What If's" episode? Well, can/do you pass the "Shoe on the other Foot" test "What if" or are a hypocrite (which, of course, is not to say for every "Rule" there can be an occasional "exception" but if everything is allowed be "exception" you really have no Rules / Principles / Values / Standards)? Some eager to be "hypocrites" if it is for "their guy/gal" benefit.

We all wish things could be and were Black/White, Right/Wrong, Good/Evil, but reality is there are a whole lotta Grey area that do not so conveniently fit into the "definitive" this or that buckets. We shall examine that. Things do not always conveniently allow for a drive-by, pot-shot, clear and clean, limited Twitter attention span and space limitations!
Plus discussion with Rick Walker of Maverick News (Canada) on "Grey Areas" (The word itself, in the Law, Bill Clinton "what 'is' is," Yelling fire in a crowded Theater (Fraud in inducement, and incitement, NOT SPEECH), Canadian interference of/with/in Free Markets, and other US-Politics (as well as Canuckian) from a Canadian perspective) as like a Lawyer in Court I ask him leading questions an opposing Attorney would Object to! LOL

CTP S1E23 SHOW NOTES  
ChristiTutionalist Politics (CTP S1E23) "Grey Areas (part 2)"
As discussed last week, need cover more that while we all wish things could be and were Black/White, Right/Wrong, Good/Evil, but reality is there are a whole lotta Grey area that do not so conveniently fit into the "definitive" this or that buckets. We shall examine more on that. Things do not always conveniently allow for a drive-by, pot-shot, clear and clean, limited Twitter attention span and space limitations! Like is a "Tax" always a Tax? We talk about Trump's Tariffs - Grey Area or not?
Plus discussion with Miss Liz of Miss Liz's TEA-time (Canada) on "Grey Areas" and other US-Politics from a yet another "Canunk's" perspective - FYI (full disclosure) if you watch on YouTube/Rumble you'll see some rough segways as we had audio/video issues - bottom line is a GREY AREA may exist if not knowing what someone's actual motivations are!

EVERY SINGLE POTUS of late, like last 40 years, had a HEALTH COUNCIL, remember Michelle obaMAO’s EAT HEALTHY CAMPAIGN??? But now that RFK Jr is talking HEALTH with TRUMP and may be HHS Secretary GOTTA STOP TALKING ABOUT ALL THIS NEED TO BE HEALTHIER STUFF!!!!!

And semi-related: Is it HEALTHY to eat Cats, Dogs, Pets?!?!?
