 Mainstream media and "nEws" is the information equivalent to ultra processed sugary seed oil sludge, and it's just as bad for your mind as the actual sludge is for your body.

 Yep. And your mental state has some effect on physiology, so IMO its not inconceivable that you could actually get cancer by believing the news.

 Problem is most can't/dont want to know the difference between the sludge and water. Media can and will always exist. But just like sewage, we need to know not to drink it.

 100%! I stopped watching the news and started meditating daily. My life has improved immensely. Turn off the news and quiet your mind. This is the way.
