Robert Reich addresses the gouging of big business, from oil companies, to meat Packers.
Biggest profits in 70 years .
Most meats go thru only 4 meat packing plants. Producers get a lower percentage, and packing plants are taking a bigger portion.
I'm learning to raise chickens for meat. I realize not everyone can do this but it makes me feel like it's a step toward independence.
Otherwise, it's time to break up monopolies using the existing laws, or put regulations in place with limitations , like milk prices.
( Not that long ago , there was 6 meat packing plants. With so few,.when a plant was closed due to covid, prices shot up. More meat plants has many benefits to the consumers . Better pricing, more consistent supply.)

Personally, I've moved to OMAD as it works with higher vegetables and some grains and keeping meats moderate, rather than the primary food source.
We rarely talk about timing of foods, combinations, use of acids, etc. Acids like vinegar and lemon help with digestion of proteins , esp as we age. A small salad with evoo and Bragg's ACV has more benefits than the obvious.
