"I marvel at how anti-ag “shockumentaries” never fall into that rut. You know, in the time-honored, inflammatory vein of “Food Inc.,” “Cowspiracy,” “Farmageddon,” etc. Through clever wordplays, provocative imagery, and anecdotes, they appeal to the everyman/woman in us all. The directors know how to press the right buttons - they have the pseudoscience down to a science. These glorified infomercials are entertaining (in a cringey way), just insufferably formulaic. They dredge up the same old tired, recycled arguments. They artfully embellish with alternative facts and ignore whatever doesn’t suit. It banks on shallow soundbytes taken at face value, rather than a critical analysis of content. In effect, predatory messaging for the masses. Thanks to Sound Speed PR, I recently had the opportunity to review a new entry to the shockumentary genre: “Secret Ingredients.” True to form, it’s an alphabet soup of common gripes, all rolled into a tidy package. Essentially, the duo of GMOs and Roundup are responsible for all our chronic health ills. The tabloid-esque assertions are so absurd, and the visuals so comically overblown (a butterfly fleeing in terror from a cropduster, and a Monsanto-branded tanker truck ferrying Roundup and Agent Orange on the road?) it seemingly borders on self-parody. But it’s deadly serious. The messaging relies too heavily on absurd reductionism. The core message is that all of our health ills can be attributed to just a couple of dubious actors. By withdrawing these players from our diets, we can experience a near instantaneous health renewal. These calls for a health renaissance are delectably simple and elegant - and also laughably wrong. It desperately needs a dose of narrative Pepto-Bismol. So where did it go astray? Let me count the ways. The brainchild of this opus is Jeffery Smith, of the Institute for Responsible Technology, with a special guest appearance by Zen Honeycutt of Moms Across America, among others. You know you’re in for an epic pilgrimage into factual no-man’s land. At the title screen, “Secret Ingredients” wafts insidiously from a loaded dinner plate. It starts with a family beset with tragedy - all sorts of chronic conditions cropping up (21 in all), including autism. And these were self-described health nuts. So the mom embarks on an odyssey of discovery to connect the dots. After doing “research” (a common trope for those dissatisfied with modern science), the answer was obvious - ditch the GMOs and Roundup! We’re told that “independent” scientists disagree about the health consensus surrounding GMOs - implying that they have the moral scruples to resist pro-GMO payola. For their integrity, they’re the victims of a vicious industry response that punishes anyone who dares to question. There’s even mention of Bt insecticidal proteins made by select GMO crops - and how those proteins carve holes in the guts of insect pests, killing them. Imagine what it would do to us! Well, nothing actually. We lack the proper gut receptors to latch on to. We also don’t have alkaline guts, another prerequisite. No overdose of Tums is going to change that. There’s also the fact that Bt has been sprayed organically for 90 years. Live, formulated, chemical payloads. A pesticide. Spray it or give the plant the ability to make it in-house. There’s no meaningful difference, except in delivery. The most hate seems to be directed at Roundup. According to the film’s “esteemed” experts, Roundup and GMOs are two peas in a pod. It’s implicated in body burden (all the toxins that accrue in our systems and screw up the works). A pediatrician confidently states that we should go organic to avoid GMOs (generally true if you want to avoid them), and pesticides (I’d check your references). And when she wrote this “prescription,” the results were miraculous! When a child was tested for glyphosate, he had 8x higher levels than those in Europe (are we going to quibble about near-nil and closer to near-nil levels?) Are those levels biologically impactful? Not at all. More than 40 years to data can attest to that. And don’t forget the generic catch-all condition of “inflammation” and the clinically unrecognized “leaky gut”. Autism, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and brain fog, “Secret Ingredients” says they’re all singularly due to Roundup. Clinical mic drop! Futurist Carl Sagan claimed that “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” “Secret Ingredients” takes the proverbial cake. From a coarse understanding of the scientific method, including a lack of reproducibility and corroborating evidence and cherry-picking, the empirical and ethical lapses are striking."

Well presented Summery of the book.

I heard bowls as balls 😂

Bill Gates owns at least 70% of the US farmland, no? Video Notes Below: Michael Pollan author - The Omnivore's Dilemma explains how food chain works in USA, most US food companies have corn-based products 1930 Birth of the "Drive-Thru" restaurant. Centralization of power / wealth Food Industrialization Reducing costs, simplified specialized workers with fewer responsibilities, repetitive work, anyone can do it (like McDonalds), scaled for mass production, easy to replace workers, eventually easy to automate... Global commercial success able to under bid local competition, and also are main buyers of chicken, beef, corn, potato, apple... 1970 Five Largest Meat Traders controlling 25% of US meat market. 2023 Four Largest Meat Traders control over 80% of the US meat market. Intellectual Property Laws favoring global conglomerates like Monsanto to protect their seeds, and prosecute farmers that do not want to use patentented seeds, yet a neighbor may have copywrited seeds that the wind may carry ontto an innocent farmer's land, making that innocent farmer a target for a company's lawyers citing copywrite violation for using their seeds, draining the innocent farmer's funds with lawyers and related accumulated fees through attrition. A chicken today takes half the time to become an adult than in 1950, and the chicken is also twice as large. Cramp spaces that are barely accommodating for the fact that the chickens are "alive", the birds cannot walk, so companies do not allow for tours of their cost saving, awful conditions for their stock. Mass amounts of cows, acres of cattle, that wade in their own manure and have been seen eating expired corn, and left over remains of chickens and chicken manure. Farmer Carole Morrison has explained how antibiotics are given to treat the chickens that do not walk, it has created bacterial resistance from the chickens, so farmers have to spend more money to deal with these circumstances. Global conglomerates that run most of the food industry are able to smuggle in illegal migrants into their large facilities which further enables poor working conditions. Michael Pollan writer of The Omnivore's Dilemma: The productivity of a corn bushel today is 10 times larger compared to a century ago. Genetic Engineering Fertilizers Pesticides Lots of laws and incentives created to enable the overproduction of corn. 30% of the land in the US destined for agriculture is used to be planting corn. **The industry itself creates products and preservatives that are corn-based to perpetuate this paradigm that will profit off the excess of corn produced as a result of the economies of scale setup to produce excess corn** 90% of US food products contain either corn syrup or corn. Feeding too much corn to cows creates E.coli bacteria in the food. Barbara Kowalcyk civl rights activist fights to improve working conditions of farms. Cost of prod of meat increase as a result? Searching for "efficiency"...? Ammonia has been used to treat the meat as result of chaep solution for E.coli **Wrong to blame consumers** costs of food, cheaper food is fried, lots of sweets, no veggies government gives incentives for soy and wheat and corn, so it is the first choice for low-income families High Peaks of Insulin as a result of the food industry economies of scale offering poor food choices for low income families, which are most people... Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and the Refined Carbohydrates are part of most American diets every day (surrounded by oceans of asphalt, remote strip malls, and remote condos, and remote outlets, and traffic, and more asphalt and car exhaust).

Thank you!

A great and daring effort!

Congratulations! Really nice job!
