No, beef tallow fried food is not healthier because it's fried in a different fat/oil.

While there are a number of factors involved with our obesity epidemic, this statement here contains a real clue. Can you see the problem here ⬇️?

"(Though Kennedy conspicuously turned away a milkshake brought to his table at Steak n' Shake, Hannity had already downed one burger before Kennedy arrived and ordered another to eat with him.)"

In a recent appearance on Fox News, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ate French fries cooked in beef tallow and mused that 'food is medicine.' Nutrition scientists are scratching their heads.

GLP1 medications have their place in health management. There's more to learn and time will tell with regard to side effects, long-term effects, etc.

Lean Minded wrote up something great about it, and I'd recommend people check it out.

At this time, I'm just here to remind you that putting something trendy on a label is just advertising. It's not about health, it's about getting you to buy the product.

This product is a probiotic. There are many of those available and some people will benefit from them. But don't automatically assume you should get a product because of the buzzwords or phrases on the product labels.

It reminds me of a time when everyone was wanting to be gluten free, whether they knew it was medically important for them or not. The words "gluten free" started showing up every where. Even on fruit and other things that naturally don't contain gluten.

Choose wisely and don't succomb to marketing based on trends.

Are you into sweet drinks?

When we travel, we buy unsweetened iced tea at the airport to have on the plane. We bring packets of crystallized lemon by True Lemon to add to it.

Sometimes it's hard to find the unsweetened versions. Especially in the Houston Airport.

The sweet tea sold there has 68 grams of sugar, and I watched a young man pick one out to give to his father to buy for him with their sandwiches.

I really wanted to ask if the parent would give their child 17 teaspoons of sugar with their lunch because that's how much sugar is in the sweet tea version.

Children are consuming too much sugar. Parents are often allowing it. Although sometimes, they're getting excess sugar at coffee shops on their own.

I realize there are many battles to fight, and maybe this parent was worn out and just couldn't fight this one.

Just understand that the choices you allow them are setting up how they will choose as an adult. The things that seem innocuous now, will definitely be a problem later.

I've never been a fan of sugar substitutes. I personally feel the body is better off with real sugar or sugar from real food, like fruit.

Of course, we're also often better off simply reducing the amount of sweetened things we consume.

This may be a reason to avoid sugar alcohol/ erythritol.

I've made a few of these changes. I replaced our cutting boards with wood ones from World Market and I use those very same cellulose sponges from Trader Joe's (they can go right in the compost also so it's a double win).

Have you done anything to reduce the plastic in your kitchen and dietary intake?
