What you said makes a whole lot of sense! When the government says it’s okay, “BEWARE!”

I remember reading that margarine is one molecule away from being plastic. When they first made margarine, it was to feed turkey's, but it killed the turkey's, so they doctored it up, and gave it to humans. I remember this from home economics.

A guy I knew took his grandfather for a doctor’s office visit “his grandfather was 99 years old at the time". The doctor was questioning the old gentleman and ask him if he eat well. The old gentleman replied, “well I eat bacon and eggs every morning and fried taters, soup beans, fried hog meat and or beef about every day. The doctor then ask what do you fry your food in? The Old gentleman said, “lard” as if that was the only thing there was to fry food in. The doctor said. “Mr so and so you might want hold off on the hog meat, lard and eggs somewhat”. The old gentleman replied, “doctor I have been eating those things for about 99 years what is it gong to do kill me“. I have out lived everybody in this county and may outlive you. End of conversation.

I agree with you completely…government companies and big pharmaceutical companies have walked hand in hand with each other for awhile now!!!

For decades, I used crisco, vegetable oils and margarine. Only until recently, 2 years ago when my husband had his open heart surgery I started doing research about the foods we eat. I was SHOCKED to discover that all those "good" oils are not only bad for you but, will make you sicker than you already are. I now only use lard, butter, whole milk products, avocado/olive oils and NO MORE fast foods in our home. But don't say those things to your doctor(s) for they will shame you and tell you how "unhealthy" you are eating. We also eat a LOT of bacon, eggs and I save ALL my bacon grease for cooking as well. Doctors have been leading us wrong for DECADES. I have gotten to where I don't even trust the majority of the "medical" community. A lot of them WON'T even do the research themselves...Instead they go totally by what the pharmaceuticals tell them. So sad! But fortunately, there are GREAT doctors out there on You-Tube, ie, Dr. Berry, Dr. Berg who has TONS of health information out there. Both of these Doctors do their OWN research too! Their advice is...eat a HUMAN diet!

I just wanted to say my husband and I have been binge, watching your channel, and you are by far our favorite. Go to people to watch. You have been a blessing to our lives . We are also in North Carolina Harnett County. You just warm my heart deeply. I know this is a year old video,and I hope you see this because you and your family are a blessing ..ok, I'm getting mushy thank you for not giving up on your channel because your videos touch so many lives ,I know it has mine God bless you and your family ❤

The years i home schooled my child was best thing i did for him! Mentally, emotionally, academically, socially!

Good on you for homeschooling and eating right! I always enjoy your videos 🤩

Girl preach!!! I'm to the point that anything the government tells me to do or stay away from, I do the opposite. I have been on a journey for several years now cutting out thing after thing trying to heal some of the intestinal issues I have been having. I've cut out the oils you mentioned, carrageenan in "dairy" products (and I use that term loosely because it isn't real dairy when they are done with it, it's why many have dairy issues because it's not real dairy as God made it), maltodextrin used for an anti caking agent, I even found it in my natural stevia sweetener. It started causing me terrible bloating every time used it. I've had a gluten sensitivity for years and they all say to stay away from bread, grains, pasta, but it's the flour used in those products that you need to stay away from. Grains and wheat berries when they are freshly milled are some of the most nutrient rich foods there is. it's why Jesus called Himself the bread of life because, if needed, you can survive on bread/grains. And guess what, since I've been making real bread with these grains, I'm not bloated anymore, no more "gluten sensitivity". I've been learning so much I have been blown away and determined to eat as much as we can from scratch. Sorry if this is long, but I get passionate about it 😂 keep sharing and doing what y'all are doing!

I think you nailed it. I started the same journey as you 1 year ago. I’ve lost 50lbs and feel fantastic. I had cancer but have been cancer free for almost 5 yrs. No one should trust the government to tell us the truth on anything. Everyone needs to do their own research and do what is right for them. I hope everyone begins to see the same light that you have and realize they must look after themselves. I know you’re a nurse so you get to see just how broad this medical scam is!! Who would have thought ? I know I didn’t.

Pop tarts are banned in other countries. I also agree with you about the corporation and big pharmaceutical companies working together.

I believe its true. People should wake up. I enjoyed this, and it gives me some encouragement. I was just thinking, the other day, i wish someone would come and clean out my fridge and cabinets, and replace it with the right foods, so i can visualize it. Thats how messed up peoples minds are ,with all the junk. I thank you and it helps me a lot.

More people need to hear this! I 🙌feel the same way! Our food can be medicine or it can be poison. “They wouldn’t allow it to sell in a store if it was harmful to us!”…one of many arguments I have heard 🙈 that is not true. Conscious choices. If we don’t slow down and take care of ourselves properly, including investigating and learning about the products we use, we will pay for it, eventually. Thanks for sharing your journey❤

Yes, yes, yes. I have experienced very simular . I agree 100% I have been going all natural over the last 2 to 3 years. And oh what a difference each change brings. As a nurse I started questioning pharmaceuticals and our food systems back in the late 1900s, but finding truth in the available sources is easy. Oh how I wish my grandparents were alive. For more reasons then ever. Thank you for speaking out on the truth even when it is controversial. Peace to you and your family.❤

I totally agree. When we go off and eat out 3 meals……my tummy doesn’t like it.

Thanks for this video. I’ve been red pilled and waking up since Covid and am continually shocked by everything I have learned. I always think how hard it must be to be a nurse in this day and age. And no wonder I can’t keep up with you! You are a youngster! I’m 64 yrs old and garden and can and that seems to be what I can handle. Good for you for home schooling!

I completely agree with you. Most people think I am crazy when I try to tell my friends that our food, from the grocery store, is killing us. But the ones who listen and give clean eating a try are amazed. Thank you for this video.

Vegetable, Canola and seed oils are soooooooooo bad for the human body. We stopped using them when we discovered this. We cook with Avocado oil for our neutral oil, olive, butter and coconut oil - that's it. We'd use lard if we had animals. Thank you for spreading the word cuz I don't think that many people have woken up to the evils of processed oils in this country. Love, love, love your channel!

You are absolutely correct. I'm trying to make positive changes in my diet but it's a slow process. Old habits die hard. I would love to live where I could grow my own food. I admire your family.

You are spot on 100% government/FDA-big corporations/big pharmaceutical all scratching each others back-making us sick and them rich! I’ve been on the same path! Eliminating soy and seed oils! It’s impossible to avoid in preprepared foods-packaged and restaurant ! Every now & then life makes me lazy and I’ll cave and get take out-it makes me so mad every time cause it cost too much -it’s so gross and I feel awful from eating it!

100% agree with everything you said. I’ve just started really concentrating on our processed food consumption. We’ve gotten rid of all the seed oils also and are doing our best to eliminate all the crap and eat whole and homemade foods.

Thank you for sharing. I found your channel a couple days ago and have binged for all of those days! Had the tummy bug going round and watching you all has passed the time nicely. Love what you all are doing.

I'm 100% in agreement about how the poisons they feed us really do make us sick. I wish I'd have figured out all of this when my kids were little! My girls grew up on pop tarts! Geesh. Anyway, very good info!

You are right on. Keep going with the natural and from scratch. My grandsons are from a mom who does not cook. They eat everything from a box and they come to my house every weekend and they are always sick. I believe what you say about these things. ❤

I LOVE raw milk. I pay 13$ a gallon and it's delivered to my door weekly from a local farm. Keely farms here in central Florida. When I had severe digestive issues it saved my life! Pre and pro biotics are just one of the bonuses of drinking it. My blood numbers are so good my doc asks me how I eat. Organic meat raw milk no seed oils at all! Real butter. No sugar. No wheat or wheat products for me too many glysopgates! Thank you Monsanto. GMO no way.

I've been eating a strict no Processed food diet and noticed a drastic change in mental amd physical health. Lost over 60lbs in 6 months by doing so

Great video! Glad you guys got to get away for the weekend. Oh yea, my wife & I have started eating differently and better. We only eat when we are hungry to. Only butter here no margarine, we make & eat our own homemade bread to and feel much better. Intermittent fasting has really worked good for us to. We eat to live now instead living to eat. The proof is in the puddin, if you eat bad once you’ve been eatin good you feel terrible. Yes the government & big pharma are definitely in cahoots together!! Thanks for sharing this topic. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇👍🏻🙌🏻

At the age of 63 I started learning this a few years ago. You are so right. And it's just getting worse.

My wife and I are enjoying and learning from your vlogs. We have been making the change in our food also and we are feeling much better also. We loved the way you have explained this subject. We feel that you are spot on with them keeping us sick to keep big pharma going. Again loving all of your vlogs. Trying to catchup on your vlogs.

We are a lot alike except I'm quite a bit older than you. My daughter is homeschooling and has been all of her life. She in 10th grade and looking forward to graduating soon! We also gave up vegetable oil and shortening and regular table salt. I switched from toothpaste to oil pulling and even my dentist is very interested in seeing the results from that change. We are raising our own meat but my gardening skills are quite embarrassing..we do what we can and keep trying to do better every year.

Yes!! This is so true, my family has had the same experience! And most ppl think we are crazy for saying this. People believe what they want to I recon.

I totally agree with you about big pharma and agribusiness and the food that most people eat. I don’t eat out at all. And isn’t it funny how so many ingredients are banned in other countries. The worst candy is Skittles. It’s banned in other countries, so are Ritz crackers. There are others that I can’t think of off hand. I agree we should eat whole real foods, fruits and vegetables. Isn’t it amazing how most store bought bread doesn’t even mold anymore? I started making easy bread and it lasts about a week and then starts to mold and I was happy about it. Real bread! You got it right! I don’t have my own farm but at least there are places around here where I can get good meat, eggs, and vegetables if I want to.

Wow, you just took me way back when I was eleven years old! We lived in Atlanta and we would get raw milk from a dairy. It would have those ounces of heavy cream at the top! There were 5 of us kids and my mama would give us each a little bit of that cold cream! Best thing I ever put into my mouth 😆 I’m so glad you decided to homeschool too! Things have gotten so bad out there 🙄 Glad for you feeling better eating ancestral 🥰 Lots to be thankful for today! God bless you and your family Meghan 🙏

Every single thing you have said here is true and I encourage everyone to give this a try. The high sugar, carb junk food will always make you over eat, because it keeps you hungry. lack of nutrients tell syou body to keep eating. I have seen this with our animals. We all keep eating because we need the nutrients, What we don't need is the excessive calories. That is why everyone is so overweight and sick in this country. High dense and nutritious foods will satiate your body. I eat a breakfast of 3 eggs, some kind of meat (fried balogna, sausage or bacon or maybe a piece of steak or chicken) with some roasted potatoes in the oven, No bread, unless it is a slice of glutin free bread, but I seldom do that. Anyway, I will not be hungry again for the next 4 or five hours. Maybe longer if I am not doing anything highly physical that burns the calories faster. I will then eat a substantial meal, such as a good size portion of meat and some vegetables. Then I am done until the next morning. This has brought a lot of my inflammation down, making me so much more comfortable and no longer the puffiness and swelling from my body reacting to the junk that I was eating. I have also cut way down the grains. Especially corn (my favorite) because it is so starchy and sugar. I mean think of it. What do the farmers fatten their hogs and cows with before slaughter? CORN. Corn because it fattens the fast and makes them tender for eating. Corn does the same to us. Fattens us up and makes us tender. LOL So rein in your corn consumption and treat it more like a special treat, and see what happens.

Same here sister!! Render down my own lard, if I do use oil it’s only corn oil and butter of course - no canola or vegetable oil here - I will use olive oil We raise probably 80% of our own food including beef and hogs and our own milk and only sugar in the raw or cane sugar Feel so much better!! Don’t eat out often and if I do I also feel so bad! I was being treated for HTN and diagnosed with lupus - have been able to reduce medicines by clean eating !! Our diet and gut health is the key to ALL our health!! Sad thing is you won’t hear that from a traditional doctor - I’m a nurse too and it’s sad but true Keep going on this type of stuff - keep it out there!! Was in the store today - no corn oil to be found but the sugary cereal isle was stacked full!! The idea is keep us all just sick enough to be dependent on the healthcare and pharma

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you "hit the nail on the head" with everything you shared....

You don’t realize how those ‘junk’ foods affect your body, until you get away from them. Then if you reintroduce them back into your diet. Then you get a bit of an upset stomach, achey joints. It does open your eyes.

I totally agree. I have been gluten free and sugar free for about 7 months. I was craving a piece of cake and I thought I was going to be sick after I ate one ver small piece. I feel better than I have ever felt now. I haven’t eaten out in over a month. I’m tired of all the chemicals in everything. I ordered flour from Europe because they don’t allow all the chemicals. I haven’t had an opportunity to try it but I will be soon. Thanks for all your videos and you are spot on❤️❤️

you are right on girl!! All the people that come back to visit the states from Germany will all say their gutsnever feel good till they go back to Germany or anywhere in Europe...People need to wake up here in the states.

I just ran across this video, you are so right about the junk food, thank you for talking about this, there's so much junk in our food today we really do need to be aware of it.

Yes about food. Just found your channel. In SC here. Blessings.

Good to see things coming together for y'all 👍🤓👍. Big congrats 👏👏🎉on yr corn. Summer and sunshine helps change everything, even ones moods👍🤓👍❣️🫶❣️. Great job all the way around y'all. Much love to you and your family from here in Michigan ❤️

I don't remember the last time we went out for fast food. We were never really big on it, and you are right, cooking from scratch, at home is not hard and it does not have to be fancy. Thanks for sharing your experience. 😊😊😊😊❤

Congrats on the home schooling! Great decision!! Congrats on the blue ribbons as well.

I do agree with you 100% you do feel what you eat I know that for sure.😀

Yep eating out used to be a special treat. Cook it ,grow ut and be healthier. God bless

I agree 100% about changing eating habits a being much better off. One of our changes is veg. Oil and margarine elimination which have been replaced with olive oil and butter. Fast food and most processed foods are no longer purchased, and I try to cook everything from scratch as much as possible. Thanks for the encouragement from this video!and

Hi Megan, This was a great video on eating healthy food, so thank you for doing it !! My grown daughter had lived almost six years in and out of hospitals and her bed because of severe food allergies and severe celiac disease and inflammation. She is finally getting better and now only eats what she cooks fresh and we now grow our own vegetables. I am soon getting into raising egg and meat birds and having a milk cow so she can drink milk and eat eggs again. I have felt for many years that store bought food has been her enemy and now her new diet has proven that. Thank you so much for telling everyone your story as it is so very important! Thank you !! Sylvia

Look up the definition of pharmakeia….. it sucks having been a nurse since ‘92 when you find out the food pyramid is UPSIDE down! I went keto for about 3yrs … felt great lost 80lbs. Decided I needed a change and went vegetarian… stupid mistake for my blood type and health issues ( O+ , Graves Disease - post thyroidectomy) threw myself all out of whack. Needless to say going back ancestral is the way to go (not necessarily keto- but as homegrown as possible anyway & high healthy fats) Those healthy fats are what our brains need to function.

Agree 100%

Totally agree with you ... I've not eaten Mc Donald's for 8 years .. drink fresh farm milk grow my vegetables... I've been to USA and your potions sizes are unreal so big ...yes here many products are banned like round up ... love your chanel x

Great video young lady.

My family has autoimmune and ever since I stopped eating any garbage foods I’ve been so much better. Also the kids will be better for it. The taste of those foods is so gross. I thought I’d get a breakfast sandwich one day waiting for a relative in a Dr appt. The hospital had a chain food restaurant in there (don’t get me started on that) and it was like poison. It was tasting like plastic. The place smelled funny as they put the food in a microwave kind of weird packaging. I thought plastic was on fire in there. Not kidding 😂 and I felt so awful. They have this in our hospital. Ok? They are absolutely getting us sick. Big pharma and usda fda all one. Sad. Glad you’re doing well. ❤

We found this too. The good food pushed out the bad. I had the exact same experience with a big Mac. It was bleck.

You are absolutely 💯 right about everything you said.

I agree with you Meagan

Hi Meagan! I stumbled across your videos on You Tube. I've enjoyed watching them all. This video is excellent! Thank you for taking the time to share this with your audience/subscribers. I did a lot of research when I was trying to lose (stubborn) weight in my late 50s. I've read and seen a ton about this topic. It really does work, and I feel good mentally and physically as you talked about. It's so enjoyable to watch your other videos! You and Andy deserve gold stars for having the fortitude to keep the farmstead going and using so much that your ancestors left behind for you in wisdom. Keep up the good work with your awesome videos. My very best regards to you, Andy, and your wonderful kids! Bob - in Kansas.

Glad you made those diet changes and feel better. We drpped corn syrup and artificial sweeteners after I learned the connection with type 2 diabetes . I use honey and maple syrup, molasses and a small amount of cane sugar. I've used raw milk when i can get it. Also switched to spelt, einkhorn, , corn and oat flours instead of our modern gmo wheat. It is hard to change but worth it. Hubby and I are on no meds and we're over 60 so it's unusual in our age range. Love your videos.

You are spot on. Totally correct.

It really gives you something to think about. Thank you.

I agree 100% .congratulations on the blue ribbons💕💕💕💕

Bingo! You hit the nail on the head!

Thanks for this video

My doctor told me to stop the eat when your hungry and skipping meals business unless you are on a fast.

❤Meagan, I really enjoyed this video. You know your body!! I stopped eating margarine several years ago. I became ill abt 5 years ago and the thought of anything from any fast food place turned my stomach. I am diabetic, have heart disease (low/no sodium) , am not supposed to eat fat….its like I’m on a diet for everything and that is rough. If I had home grown food and were able to prepare my own meals it would be so much easier. I have heard, though not researched, that sugar is like a poison and we all know it is highly addictive. I agree with you on the Government control we are under. It is also scary that our medical field is political! Managed and dictated by non medical people. It is difficult to see a real Dr but end up with a nurse practitioner. It is a year later and I’m wondering if you have made anymore changes that you can share? Thank you, Meg! You are a wealth of information! ❤🙏🏻

Yes I agree i did the same and feel so much better ! I love your videos Thank you

I think your thoughts and ideas are spot on! Thank you for sharing

I would rather support our local farmers market before I support any fast food places The food is expensive and the quality pure sucks ..I think I can say that🤣🤣🤣🤣it's true. Attitudes from the employees suck as well. A few good ones can't cover up all the bad apples❤

You are so right!

Just found this older video and I wanted to jump up and down and say yes, yes, yes! I am 74 and it took me this long time to figure out processed foods is what is killing us. Then they want us to pop those pills that make us even worse! I have been doing research on gut microbiome and started making kefir and eating more fermented foods to help my reflux issues. Meds were making me worse! You are so, so right! People really need to do their research on processed fast foods and how they hurt us! So many of the chemicals in our processed foods are banned in other countries. We need to ask ourselves why! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and I hope others will realize fast and quick processed foods do not fuel our bodies nor help our health. I am slowly transitioning my way of thinking about food and what I put in my body. No,I don’t do 100% made from scratch and I still purchase some processed foods but I am working toward fueling my body in a healthy manner and thinking about what I just stuff in my mouth!

I totally agree!

Our bodies are the temple of God! So we should all be concerned about what we consume. Thank you for sharing your experiences

Thank you for this video about food.

I enjoyed this very informative video. Thank you, Megan for sharing

I had the same experiences when I ate food from the restaurants and prepared foods again. I wasn't sure why and couldn't believe that it would make such a noticeable difference but I did suspect that this food made me sick, little by little.

Sugar is a inflammatory. When I switched from regular coke to zero sugar coke my joints got inflamed. I finally realized it was the sweetener substitute they use. It is in a lot of product s. I quit drinking soda altogether. As someone with a sweet tooth it was hard. I have cut my sugar intake alot. My doctor has been after me for years to cut sugar because my triglycerides are high.

Meagan, what do you use to wash your clothes ? I love this video. Keep on speaking the truth girl.👍

I was just reading articles about this. I truly agree with you. God bless you!!

Love this video. I always learn from you. Thank you.

Excellent point

My dad really bad bleeding ulcers and the doctor told my mother to use Wesson oil. My doctor told me that using bitter is a lot better for you because margarine has chemicals in it.

Excellent video ❤

i feel you would get a lot of good info if you also watched a youtube channel called Dr. Pradip Jamnadas , the man is a genius when it comes to eating right . he is a cardiologist .some of his videos are quite long but well worth watching .loving your channel by the way . i have some catching up to do i only have 3 tractors .

Sooooo true!!!

Good word Megan! I think you’re so right & thank you for sharing ❤

Wow congratulations on the blue ribbons!!! Wish my grandkids were being homeschooled 😕Anyway, great to see ya back!

I'm glad you feel good and I do agree with everything that you said I eat a lot of stuff I shouldn't but I noticed that if I don't eat certain things that I feel better but I think I eat more than I shouldn't and then I the good stuff in it should

Congratulations

The government has lied to us. I dont buy meats at the grocery store any more. I buy it from a ranch. I would love to meet you and Andy and the kids. I live on a farm myself in northern Alabama.

Good video, Megan! I’ve been on that bandwagon for years. I can’t say I grow all of our food - no homestead, just a little garden. But when I do buy food, II go for the best quality IU can purchase. We don’t have livestock I but I have a side of beef in my freezer . I’m going to be looking to buy a whole heritage hog for the freezer,m and will be raising chickens for eggs before long if all goes well. We might even raised some meat chickens. Interesting, isn’t it, about all the chicken facilities burning down or having to kill millions of birds because they find a handful with bird flu symptoms! There are just 2 of us and I believe 25 meat chickens would do us for a year. I’m not a “spring chicken” myself so this might be a lot to take on but I’m “only” 72 and plan on being around for a lot more years. My husband has health issues but I can’t keep him off sugar and junk food but I keep trying. He does eat what I put in front of him so I try to make meals as nutritious as possible.

I totally agree with you. We are trying to switch our foods to but definitely a slow process especially in our area. We also live in Southwest Louisiana and the big industry in our area is oil refineries so more chemicals we are exposed too.

I homeschooled for a while, then the kids decided to go to continuation school. Both are adults and doing well. Also looking at changing my diet, and the garden helps.

I rendered my lard. I use olive oil. I'm wanting to make my own butter. I use butter. No margarine.

another Great video, i went back to home made and fresh after dealing with NHL cancer and i do think im feeling much better

Im going to have to check out veggi oil love me some lard and butter lol never stop but do us olive oil and veggi got to check it out

Thank you for this video. We do a lot of what you do with our meat and vegetables, but after listening to you, I am going to switch my oils. We haven't done pigs yet, but I am reading a book on Guinea hogs and I believe that is the way we will go (for the meat and the lard). Congrats on the blue ribbons. God bless.

Amen Amen Amen!!! I read about margarine and immediately threw it in the trash!!! Just short of rat poisoning!! I make my own washing detergent. I wish I could eat everything I grew but I made it thanks to your produce boxes. I buy local pork but I cannot find a local beef. Everyone wants you to buy at least 1/4 cow and I can't buy that much just for me. Now I'm still trying to get off the pop tarts lol lol...I am addicted too lol

I love your chats. Congrats on the Blue Ribbons! I have to say, I agree with you 100% about schooling, food and Big Government. I know your kids will be better off at home with you. Your hair is so pretty, probably due to your eating too. Do you do anything special to it, conditioning? Thanks for sharing!

good girl, do your thing

I just found y'all's channel last week while looking for a canning recipe. Me and my husband (who is Simi retired till June 13 then fully retired) have binged watched y'all's channel since we found it. 5 years ago I had to quit work and start using a wheelchair that first year was really rough on me... I gained weight and could care less. One day I prayed and asked God to help me.. well I started doing again what I've always enjoyed canning. Now being in a wheelchair changed things but I made it work but hubby insisted I waited till he was here to can because of safety. I started doing mostly home grown foods and using lard and butter. The change I dropped 40 lbs and feel so much better. I'm now conscience of the food we eat and cleaners we use. It has made a big difference. This year we will be canning much more since hubby's going to be here everyday. Please know even us old folks are learning from y'all younger ones. God bless y'all!
