Real food from local organic and Biodynamic Farms is the magic 'drug' to reverse the epidemic of poor health faced by 84% of Americans.
The Boston Globe published on May 7,2020 an article on health and Covid-19 posted below. "Only about 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy..." WHAT?!?! Why was/is this not the major news story? Why has this not the focus of the past 8 months? Why, when the Dean of the renown Tufts School of Nutrition states that "[c]hanges in our food choices can alter metabolic health within six to eight weeks, even with no weight loss," little to nothing is being done especially in contrast to the massive Covid-19 Vaccination campaign? If there were a 'drug' developed to change the metabolic health of Americans, it would receive endless press coverage and it would be prescribed to the 84% of Americans in need of it. "More Americans die prematurely from a poor diet than any other risk factor. This year, about 500,000 Americans will die from diet-induced diseases. These deaths, like COVID-19, also disproportionately affect Black and Brown Americans [and the poor], through long-standing systems of structural racism [and structural poverty] that are in large part mediated through lifestyle and diet-related metabolic risk factors. It’s time to address these inequities." Real food from local organic and Biodynamic Farms is the magic 'drug' to reverse the epidemic of poor health faced by 84% of Americans.

I was just reminiscing about Haley House after reaching out to Jim and Louise to recommend a dear friend's new book and I thought I'd check out how Noonday Farm is doing.
