You can get involved and all you have to do is call your House and Senate members locally, tell them how important these issues are. When you see some legislation being introduced and there's testimony, you can offer to testify even and give your thoughts about these issues. And I know that takes a lot of guts and a lot of courage, but it's really easy.
And a lot of times you can just read right off of your paper. It's not that hard, right? Like you can go there and just... make your voice heard. And I think that's what's so important is that we all need to make our voices heard, whether it's at the state level or the federal level and or at the company level, like calling these companies and asking them to change goes a long way.
And in contacting their customer support, telling them that, you know, you've had enough, creating petitions, doing all of that work, you know, is something that you can do as well. But again, locally in your school saying, okay, You know what? Kellogg's has figured out how to make these cereals better for so many other countries. We deserve the same at this school.
I'm going to ask my school administrator to not buy Kellogg's anymore. What can we do at the local level? I think now is the opportunity to get involved more than ever because, again, of this just widespread awareness and awareness This is what happens when we have leadership at the highest levels talking about these issues.
It gives people the courage to come forward in their own local communities to do this work as well and realize that, you know, this is not, you know, pseudoscientific or fear mongering. This is real information and this is real root cause analysis of why we're so sick. And we can start to get the chemicals out of our food and make it so that we have the
our government dollars going towards regenerative farming and organic agriculture and making sure that we have a system that isn't going to keep us sick, that we're going to get from a system of sick care to health care, like actual health care, which is where we haven't been. And when I look at the last 25 HHSs in our history of American government, They have utterly failed the American public.
If you combine that with the trajectory that we're on in terms of the rates of chronic disease, the fact that there are 38% of preteens having prediabetes, the fact that 40% of kids have said that they have some kind of
you know mental health issue like this is something that's got to change we have a stake in the ground now we have again leadership at the highest levels giving us the open door to attack these issues and the media thankfully is allowing us to talk about these issues in a way that has never been happened before some of the media still i have not gotten the call i just have to say i have not gotten a call
from anybody at NBC. NBC has not covered the Kellogg's campaign, has not asked me to talk about any of the work that I've been doing, has not talked about the Senate hearing that we had that day with so many different leaders from across the nation. It was, again, four hours of non-political, non-partisan discussion about how to save humanity.
So yes, there are networks that are still not engaging in this conversation. And that is a shame on them.
One of the first ones that I removed from my diet was just industrial oils. So coming from genetically engineered crops like corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed. First of all, those crops are... Those seeds are designed to withstand heavy doses of Roundup, which is the main chemical in Roundup. Glyphosate is linked to cancer and is something that we should be avoiding.
So that alone in itself is a reason. But then the way that these oils are then processed, they're extracted using chemical solvents like hexane, which... The FDA does not monitor the amount of hexane residue that remains in the product. Then they are bleached. They're deodorized because they smell awful when they've been extracted. And so they have to cover up the smell.
And then they add other chemicals that may not end up on the label to these products. So it ends up the way that they are processed ends up being almost a rancid type product. And then. this specific type of oil is 60% of Americans' diets. And when we look at the rising rates of chronic disease, this could be a contributing factor.
And the fact that the omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio that remains in the oil is off, you know, and one of the reasons why so many Americans are deficient in omega-3. I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here. But But it's so... People don't know this. Yeah, yeah, I know. But it's something that I feel like we've just been on this drumbeat for so long. But it's very simple.
Replace those oils with olive oil, ghee, coconut oil, and avocado oil. If you just do that at home, cook with those oils. And I have two cookbooks where I explain how those things work and how to... use those different oils. And Mark has amazing cookbooks as well that talks about that as well. And so I'd say one of the first things you do is that.
And that itself will eliminate so many different products off the shelf as it is. And you'll avoid your biggest exposure to GMOs. You'll avoid your biggest exposure to these other toxic chemicals that remain in these products that could be affecting your body. But then I would look at kind of, there's a group of chemicals that you find in ultra processed foods.
And those are the artificial food diets that we've already discussed, removing those from your diet. I remember when I removed those from my diet, my skin immediately cleared up. The eczema, the went away and, and, and people have noticed that as well.
And so then you've got, um, different chemicals like, well, what, you know, MSG, which MSG you will find, you know, it's one of the first ingredients in a chicken, like chicken sandwich, you'll find it and Doritos, you'll find it.
Yes.
Yeah, I detail those out in my first book, Food Babe Way, but it's also free on my website, Food Babe, if you want to go look and see what those chemicals are that-
