The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
171. Courtney Swan: Why Your ‘Healthy’ Food Is Actually Harmful

Well, I saw something online too. And a farmer actually verified this to me. Um, they're starting to feed candy to our livestock now too, just to fatten them up. They don't even think about the nutritional value anymore of like, oh, how can we feed them so that they're, you know, healthy and they get enough nutrients. No, they're just like, how can we fatten them up as fast and quick as possible?

So they're feeding them candy bars. They'll just throw candy bars in their feet. And sometimes they don't even take the wrappers off. I heard.

That's a great question. I mean, look, if I could just change one thing, it would just be can we just get these additives out of our food and focus on real food?

I think a lot of it is there's an education component there because there's a large portion of the population that's been eating so much foods out of packages that they, one, are scared to cook now or they feel like they can't cook or maybe it hasn't been passed down through generations through them anymore. So I definitely think there's an educational component there. So how can we really start?

And honestly, what I would love to see is we start doing this in schools with kids. Have them, when they're in kindergarten, have them start tending a garden and teach them the importance of growing your food and then show them how that food is then ending up on their plates for lunch. And then how can we have them have a cooking class? I think this should start very, very early.

Because there is a large education component there because now we're just telling, because this is, I have a huge issue about this. I actually just talked about this on a podcast yesterday. We are telling people, oh, you don't have time to cook or it's so expensive, don't even try. So I think so many people are not even trying anymore.

They're not even attempting it because they just think like, okay, well, that's one that's too expensive for me and it's not going to be accessible for me and it's super hard. We live in the most amazing time of information. You can literally open TikTok, open YouTube, and just type in any recipe you want to make, and you can watch a video of it.
