 the thing that keeps this mind in place for me is how sick the high carb, low fat, seed oil and artificial sweeteners diet was making me.

it was causing me to have double vision, chronic, LOUD tinnitiss, and what really sank the ship of fiat food for me was when it started to give me severe dental pain. a half fallen out wisdom tooth went completely apeshit after i ate a pack of chips with maltodextrin in it. and i thought it was the flavoring, so i tried a different flavor (first one was laden with citric acid too). no, it was debilitating as fuck for 2 weeks.

and yeah, money problems led me to seek lower cost nutrition and it turned out that whole milk was the thing. oh, sure, i'd love it to not be UHT, and for it to be actual goat and/or sheep milk, but apparently nobody wants those to drink because SHOCK 6% fat, meanwhile "medium skim" milk is 1%.

it's a real hassle to find the whole fat milk but i have never felt this well in maybe over a decade, and this is the totally nerfed version of the real thing.

imagine how pissed these people would be if they realised their life is miserable, 90% because of the food.
