So what do we do with all of this plastic waste, much of which is polluting our oceans, waterways, land, and even the atmosphere? The chemical and plastics industry says a solution lies in “advanced recycling.”
My answer was coaching circles.
I am often dismayed at the lack of vulnerability and empathy in most social spaces. In the United States, people often casually greet each other by asking “how are you doing?” How many times are we really there to hear how the other person is doing? How many times are we open to share how we are really doing? The answer we hear most often is “I am doing great. Things are going well.” What does that response really mean? Life is difficult. How and where do we process difficulties and challenges? What happens when we do not process them properly? No wonder mental health professionals are overloaded, and we are having a nation wide, if not world wide, mental health crisis. In my article about nonviolent communication, I hypothesized how processing pain in social spaces could help ease mental health problems. In my experience coaching circles are one of the most effective social spaces for this purpose.
The concept of coaching circles as a “third space”, the space outside family and work, was outlined in my earlier article Coaching circles: A prototype for the third space. The tagline “where vulnerability is safe and empathy is abundant” describes the essence of such spaces. Vulnerability and empathy are pre-conditions of each other: if you are not vulnerable, I am not going to be empathetic; if you are not empathetic, I am not going to be vulnerable.
That’s a trip as I sit in the Coffee Shop. And I’ve listened in on hundreds of random conversations all around me. Mostly neighbors who see each other and start talking about whatever. These small coffee shops get a lot of regulars. I’ve loved visiting these places, I’ve met so many cool people, and have new friends I’ve met at the local coffee shops.
Of course this is a great industry too. Several coffee shops in this area are great for meeting other entrepreneurs and professionals to develop new projects and businesses, as if I hadn’t done this too much already!
Government and private corporations collude to suppress information about your health. The reason it's so difficult to find truthful health information is because regulatory agencies have been captured by the very industries they're supposed to regulate, and media is controlled by those same interests as well.
That includes Google, which controls over 95% of the internet searches in the world, colluding with the government and Big Pharma, and removing the vast majority of natural medicine truth tellers from their search results. This has radically limited your access to helpful health information.
If you believe those who collude to keep the truth from you, you'll believe vaccinations are safe and effective for everyone, synthetic food additives are harmless, electromagnetic field radiation (EMF) has no biological impact whatsoever, drugs are the sole treatment option if you're sick, nutrition has no impact on health and disease, unnatural environments are A-OK, pesticides in food are safe and all calories are created equal.
The 2018 review5 identified significant flaws in three studies "published by statin advocates" attempting "to validate the current dogma." The paper presents substantial evidence that total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are not an indication of heart disease risk, and that statin treatment is of "doubtful benefit" as a form of primary prevention for this reason. According to the authors:6
"According to the British-Austrian philosopher Karl Popper, a theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be shown to be false. If it cannot be falsified, it is not a scientific hypothesis. In the following, we have followed Popper's principle to see whether it is possible to falsify the cholesterol hypothesis.
We have also assessed whether the conclusions from three recent reviews by its supporters are based on an accurate and comprehensive review of the research on lipids and cardiovascular disease (CVD) …
Our search for falsifications of the cholesterol hypothesis confirms that it is unable to satisfy any of the Bradford Hill criteria for causality and that the conclusions of the authors of the three reviews are based on misleading statistics, exclusion of unsuccessful trials and by ignoring numerous contradictory observations."
As reported by Reason.com:7
"A comprehensive new study on cholesterol, based on results from more than a million patients, could help upend decades of government advice about diet, nutrition, health, prevention, and medication …
The study … centers on statins, a class of drugs used to lower levels of LDL-C, the so-called 'bad' cholesterol, in the human body. According to the study, statins are pointless for most people …
The study also reports that 'heart attack patients were shown to have lower than normal cholesterol levels of LDL-C' and that older people with higher levels of bad cholesterol tend to live longer than those with lower levels."
Time and again, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its global collaborators have "predicted" the future with stunning accuracy, sometimes years in advance, and then when the predictions come true they pretend as though they had nothing to do with it.
It's worth remembering, then, that WEF founder Klaus Schwab, during the May 2022 meeting in Davos, clearly stated that the future doesn't just happen, it is "BUILT — by us," referring to himself and the other attendees in the room. So, make no mistake, they truly believe they have the right to decide the fate of the world, and that you and I have no say in the matter.
That fate was in June 2020 formally announced under the banner of "The Great Reset," by Schwab himself (https://www.weforum.org/great-reset).1 This "build back better" scheme involves the complete reorganization and restructuring of all parts of society, including finance, industry, education, "social contracts," the energy sector and the food system.
As far as the food system is concerned, the WEF envisions a food system that doesn't include animal foods or require a large land footprint. In fact, for several years now, the WEF has promoted the idea that we should get used to eating bugs2,3,4 and drinking reclaimed sewage. As just one example, in mid-October 2018, the WEF posted on Twitter:5
The decision of the Dutch government to impose nitrogen pollution restrictions on farmers is but one example of this. This "green" policy will cut livestock production in the country by 30% in the next year, put farmers out of business, and force them to sell their land.
Since The Netherlands is the largest meat exporter in the European Union,1 it will also result in meat shortages around the world. According to Dutch Parliament member Thierry Baudet,2 this "green" policy is really a thinly veiled excuse for a land grab
There's absolutely no shortage of studies14,15,16,17,18,19 showing that diets high in processed foods lead to poor health and depression, and the more processed your diet is, the worse your health and the greater your risk of obesity and chronic diseases that shave years, if not decades, off your life span.
In my references, I've included several studies published in 2020, 2021 and 2022, but similar findings have been published for decades. Remember, in most processed foods seeds oils are the highest percentage of calories.
Acknowledging that saturated animal fats are healthy, and that processed industrial seed oils and processed grains are not, would decimate the processed food industry, as it relies on cheap seed oils and grains. The healthy alternative is real food, and there's no big industry profits to be made from that.
The same goes for unprocessed animal foods in general. They can't be patented, and just about anyone with enough land can raise their own food and become partially, if not fully, independent of major food conglomerates.
