- One of the many problems of the modern health care system. What are some of the others?
- This video was recorded 55 years ago. Before autotune, cell phones, the internet, and, apparently, barbers. They went on to be one of the greatest bands of all time. Anybody recognize them?
00:00 - The great Julia Child once said in 1995: “I don’t eat McDonald’s fries after the nutritionists erroneously took out beef tallow & replaced it with their nutritionist oils” I couldn't agree more. h/t @DoctorTro

- This is what 65 years of not eating junk food looks like in an 82 year old woman. Maggie is a rancher in Canada who works 14 hour days (in -40 degree during the winter months). She eats only meat & drinks only water, and has been doing so for 65 years. She is 82 years old.

00:00 - In 1917 they knew how to cure type 2 diabetes. What happened? h/t @shelly_187
- "I would never talk to a doctor about my general health ever again. If I break my arm I’ll go see a doctor. If I need surgery, I’ll see a doctor. But my general health? Never again. None of them know what they’re talking about. All they know is to put you on pills" -Dana White,
- I wonder if, instead of calling it 'Type II Diabetes', we renamed the disease 'Carbohydrate Intolerance', how many people would still require insulin?
