It feels like people are being slowly poisoned to quietly reduce the population, although that’s probably true and I don’t think so.

Can you give me some advice? I don’t want to die at 40 years from a disease I caused myself with the food I ate.

    Don’t get all conspiracy theory here. Cost, convenience, and leveraging human desire for salt, fat, and sugar are all traps we walk into willingly. Humans aren’t built to resist so many easy temptations. Smoking cigarettes killed millions. Tons of people still smoke.

    As for eating well, just focus of using fresh ingredients and not buying things (if you can help it) in plastic packaging. Use glass or metal for food storage. Get some carbon steel and cast iron cookwear. Olive oil and butter before seed oils. Do what you can, you’ll never get it all.

    Homesteading, or just growing your own food, is a great idea.

    However, if you simply buy fresh meat and produce then you’ll have an amazing diet.

    Microplastic contamination has reached even the most remote of tribes. Good luck.

    Best you (or any of us) can do is to just have a balanced diet with a minimum of highly processed foods.

    a disease I caused myself with the food I ate

    If the produce is contaminated in the way you find it to be, that’s not really your fault.
