According to a National Health Survey, in 2021, 5.9% of adults aged 18 and over livered in families experience food insecurity.
Such studies are misleading. Yet useful government lies to increase food subsidy programs. I'm sure this episode will be fact check because the media is in on it.
Remember, carrots don't advertise, neither do potatoes. But the food industrial complex does. So do fast food chains and grocery stores.
Using statistics in this way is a form of government control to consolidate power. It also feeds large corporate food manufacturers propaganda to push processed solutions.
Don't take my word for it, John Stossel recently covered big government distractions around food insecurity claims, https://youtu.be/es614SrcbhI
I also cover how we define "Food Security" and why that is important.

(00:01):
What are your thoughts about food insecurity. I'm reading a government report here.
It's from the NCCHS, and itis talking about a National Health Interview Survey
that found that five point nine percentof adult age is over eighteen experienced food
and security in the last thirty days. Now, this is a twenty twenty
(00:21):
one report, and that family foodand security is higher among women than men.
This is a government study. Biden'stalking about it a lot right now,
let's talk about the facts about foodand security and how it impacts your
family. I've just a hit froma prosperity homestead. So the reason I
pause there for a little bit isbecause food and security is a myth.
(00:43):
The government is pushing that food insecurityis a thing that's happening in America today,
based on a report that was donewith a survey. Now you may
not know I have a background ofresearch methods. I'm an analyst. I
look into the details because I wantto provide you quality and useful information.
I do know that food insecurity is, by their definition, is not being
(01:10):
able to find quality food, sonot quantity. America's obese. We have
a lot of health issues are associatedwith being overweight, we have enough food
calories available, but the challenge isactually food quality. Now, the media
is going to talk about food insecurityand how there's thirty three point eight million
(01:33):
people in America who are food insecure, and you have to ask about the
definition. So it's only fair thatI give you the definition of food security
from the prosperity homestead perspective. Sowhen I speak with you about food security
and I'm saying, hey, look, if you want to be more secure
with your food, you want tohave better access to quality food. I
am talking about premium product. Listencarefully because a lot of folks don't agree
(02:00):
with this. If you were togo to the grocery store and buy the
very best, the highest quality steak, grass fed, nice marbling, beautiful
flavor in texture, no coloring atit, just the beautiful steak, that
would be a very expensive proposition becausefood manufacturing today takes low quality product,
(02:21):
colorizes it, pumps it full ofwater, and makes it look like high
quality when it is not. Solet's assume you have access to the highest
quality meat available, and what I'veseen in New York, that could be
as much as forty five dollars perpound. Now, I hear what you
say in justin we're not buying fortyfive dollars pound steak, But what if
(02:42):
you could get forty five dollars apound steak at a reasonable price because you're
buying it through a regional or localfood system. Now there's there's a ballast
here when we talk about price andquality. Those are two different things.
What I'm saying is, let's eatfood, natural food, seasonal food.
(03:05):
Let's eat food that is raised inethical ways. I've spoken about the hull
raising of meats and the whole allraising and handling during the slaughtering process.
I am not Muslim, however,that particular methodology has a set of rules
very similar to the Kosher set ofrules that allows for that animal to have
(03:28):
the very best life possible. They'renot raised in stockyards, they're not kicked
and pushed around, they're not pushedinto a factory style manufacturing system. In
fact, the animals are small,batched, they're raised in natural environments.
They're fed quality food. There iseven a provision that an animal that has
(03:49):
a human has had sex with isnow haram, which means not permissible.
So there's even an ethical perspective givethat it has to do with things beyond
what we would normally think about whenit comes to our animals. I'm not
claiming that factory farmed animals are sexuallyabused, but I'm just saying that it's
(04:12):
not a factory manufacturing food, butit is a farmer raising quality food,
so less stress, hormones, higherquality feed, more access to sunlight to
build up that vitamin D. Andso when we're looking at quality food security
in our context, here, inthe permaculture context and the reginative agriculture context,
(04:34):
is food that's full of nutrients,full of enzymatic, healthy enzymes,
full of vitamins and minerals naturally andnot manufactured as such. And so now
the government's saying we have this foodand security, and they are right in
some ways, because this is impactinghealth outcomes. Low quality, cheap food
(04:59):
creates increased risks of high cholesterol,hypertension, chronic health conditions, and other
limitations that have to do with yourbody's not getting the right amount of nutrients,
it's not getting the right kinds offats, it's getting hormones and things
that were injected into that animal thatare detrimental to human so there are studies
(05:21):
that show that GMO corn fed tocows actually passes through their digestive system and
gets into the meats as well.So their manures are now going into soil
with genetically modified organism, and theanimal itself is being impacted because the corn
itself is not a full health Actuallyfeeding corn to cows and stuff's not the
(05:45):
best thing to be doing anyway.But the bottom line though, is that
there's a difference between the grass thecow eating grass, and the cow eating
corn. Is even a difference betweenthe cow eating fodder. So chopping up
corn stalks and fermenting them is actuallypretty healthy. But my point being is
if you go into the store andbuy the most healthy, most high quality
(06:06):
meat, it's not accessible to mostpeople. And so is it right to
claim that the food to be purchasedthrough a grocery is inaccessible when you can
actually go to the local farmers marketand you can go to a local farm
where you can raise the animal yourselfand have just as high quality, not
volume, but quality, and enjoythat food at a reasonable volume. Now
(06:30):
this is important because again there's noshortage of food in America. There's food
everywhere in fact, there are someclaims that Americans eat as many as ten
thousand calories a day. We're gettingthat through refined sugars, refined flowers,
grains, and other things. We'regetting get through seed oils. We're getting
(06:51):
get through a lot of different waysthat are not healthy for our bodies.
So the accessibility of food is notlimited by any means, not even financially,
because again there are many things thatwere not counted in this survey.
So this particular survey that President Bidenis talking about right now that claims there's
(07:11):
food insecurity is talking about surveys doneon grocery stores, large grocery store chains,
large food manufacturing and food producing organizations. It's omitting food vendors such as
like this food stall on the streetor a fruit stall on the street.
In fact, in San Francisco,folks are trying to sell fresh vegetables and
(07:35):
fresh fruit from carts, and thethe inspectors are knocking these things over.
Here's the bottom line. When wetalk about food security, what I'm talking
about is being able to go outin your yard and have fresh seasonal fruits
and vegetables, to go to alocal farmers market, to go to a
(07:56):
co op or a community sponsored agricultureand getting fresh seasonal vegetables. Now,
if you can't get oranges in yourlocal area, that does not make you
food insecure. That puts you ina climate where oranges do not grow.
Does that mean you cannot have oranges? Well, yes, you can still
go to the grocery store and buyoranges if you want. There's usually oranges
(08:18):
in there. But my perspective isit may not be as best in your
best interest to do so, asmany of these oranges are coated and chemicals.
They're often raised quickly and are prettymuch just sugar and water. And
there could be a supply of vitaminC in your own region that is high,
(08:39):
higher mineral content, higher nutritional value, and readily available. So,
for example, the cactus, there'sa fruit on a cactus that has high
in vitamin CEA and minerals and ithas just as much value as an orange,
these little small oranges, but it'sonly available certain times of the year.
(09:03):
So it doesn't make you food insecureif you can't access things that are
out of season. If you havethe knowledge to make yourself food secure and
raise things in your local area,and so we have to look at the
variety of food that we're making availableto ourselves. We want to look at
the quality of food because you caneat less calorie with higher nutritional value and
(09:26):
meet your coloric needs for the day. We get a lot of questions about
how many acres do I need togrow to grow all my own food.
It's nice to want to grow allyour own food, but are you going
to have the time, Do youhave the skills. Are you going to
be able to raise the variety offruits and vegetables? Are you going to
be raising plants true to seed andhave the time to save the seed in
order to propagate the plants. There'sa lot of things that folks just don't
(09:50):
understand when we're talking about homesteading,and so that's why we advocate food security
in the concept of local and regionalfood, so knowing your farmer and having
better decisions about where you get yourfood from. Now. Of course,
the media, the whole fourth Estateis echoing what President Biden is saying and
talking about how we need to increasethe amount of money that goes into food
(10:11):
programs such as food stamps and foodscaloric assistance, so you may not know
that a lot of the food stampmoney goes directly to food manufacturers, who
then provide more packaged and processed foods. And of course the government is disconnecting
the connection between processed foods with poorhealth outcomes. So this is likely lobbyist
(10:37):
pressure pushing to fund food stamps andother assistance programs because that money goes directly
into fast food, process food,and what I call the food industrial complex.
Now, food stamps is a formof market subsidy, not individual help.
So when families before food stamps,what would a family do? Well,
before there were food stamps, thefamily would just work, and hard
(10:58):
work cures hunger, but they wouldalso grow their own garden. They would
sell their surplus to their neighbors andraise money. They would barter in trade,
they would co op farming. Soa lot of community farms are actually
sponsored by, or used to besponsored by, or owned in part by
the community it serves, and wesee that in the CSA model. But
(11:22):
again, before food stamps, familieswould grow garden and they would approve their
situation without government help. Many times, with government help it becomes a subsidy
in the sense that we have alarge percentage of the US population that depends
on the government for their needs.Now, when that same government comes to
them, or political figures come tothem, they can say, well,
(11:43):
I'm going to try to increase yourbenefits. The population expects us to feed
them. Are you livestock or areyou human? Can you figure out how
to feed yourself? But again,these programs are about control, and so
the subsidies voting pools, and itcreates a position of influence. And so
(12:05):
this is another thing too. Theinfluence is created by offering or threatening to
remove the programs. Food security isnot having to worry about someone else feeding
you. So food security from ourperspective is you've got a small piece of
land, you've got certain things thatgrow on it, or you have income
from that land so that you canbuy high quality, high value foods from
(12:28):
your local region. Now, thereason the local region is so important is
because it lowers the food miles.You get fresher food, higher quality food,
more seasonal food. Now, againthere's always the political person who threatens
that their opponent will take away thesebenefits. But are they really benefits?
(12:48):
Does food stamps actually help people getout of poverty and help people get the
quality food that they need. Doesit help them feed their children? And
the studies have shown that it doesn't. It helps them feed them food or
just calories in general. But againthat's quantity over quality. Studies have shown
(13:11):
you can live longer and you canlive a healthier life eating fewer calories with
a higher nutritional density. In fact, it's the nutritional density that matters more
than the calories you take in orany other aspect of the food. So
if you're using rancid seed oils orolive oil, that's not actually even olive
(13:33):
oil, and you're eating highly processedfood, and you're not getting fiber and
protein and the other elements that youneed, or complex carbohydrates, you're instead
getting simple carbohydrates. You're going tohave negative food outcomes. Now there is
a preference difference between supporting local farmsversus supporting the big industrial complex. The
(13:58):
big industrial complex and create large volumesof food that will make you feel full
or so it'll make you feel happyand you know, really get you to
emotionally connect it. It is sometimesboring to eat raw foods and vegetables.
I was a vegan for four years. Raw food vegan only ate raw foods,
giant salads, giant volumes of foodin order to maintain my calorie and
(14:22):
think got boring after a while.Now it was boring because of my understanding
of you know, I wasn't cookingthe food, so there wasn't dishes and
stuff I could do, so Iwould literally eat a bag of carrots for
a meal. But long story short, if you learn how to cook,
we start creating culture, fermenting,meal prep. There's different options to make
(14:46):
that food interesting. A lot offolks just don't have that skill. So
the last part of food security,for what we talk about here, is
to make sure you know about fermentation, that you know about the different ethnic
foods, different cultural foods, andthat we ALTI mean, have a chance
to take our seasonal vegetables, totake our seasonal meats, to take those
things and produce something that's community based, that's worth sharing. That's the experience
(15:11):
in the interchange of culture, foodand knowledge and taste, so that we
have something of value. Now,you could grow all your own fruits and
vegetables and meats. I think thatis a very good thing to do.
But again, you don't have tohave property to do this. You could
volunteer for a local farm, youcould work in a community garden. You
(15:31):
can do a lot of things,but because you don't have to grow everything
to eat it. But do notbe distracted by the food insecurity claims that
are based on a survey that simplyasked some questions about somebody's last thirty days
experience and doesn't really look into quantity, quality, and availability on a broad
(15:52):
scale. This is political propaganda totell you that Americans are food insecure and
therefore the government needs to increase thesethe money paid out to these programs.
The truth is, yes, peopleare food insecure, but it's because of
poor decision making and lack of educationassociated to the food that is available.
(16:17):
You can get high quality steaks,fruits, and vegetables in your local area
within season, and it can providefor your family for generations, Reduce health
negative health outcomes, improve your vitality, help you live longer, improve your
relationships because again that community food infrastructureincludes going to local restaurants, it includes
(16:41):
having parties, and includes making yourland a destination rather than having to go
outside all the time for your recreation. I know I've covered a lot here.
I want to make sure that you'reunderstanding this, and that's why I
always invite you to ask questions.I want to hear your comments. I
want to hear your questions. Visitwww Dot prosperityhomestead dot org ask your questions
(17:03):
on the contact page. We alsohave a number of free resources they're available
there that help you with the foodsecurity implementation. I want you to have
great food security on your property,and that could be as easy as a
small herb garden or a small gardenthat provides supplemental vegetables. And then of
course understanding where in your community youcan go for seasonal fruits and vegetables,
(17:26):
and really supporting your local farmer.Very often they know where food is available
and how to get more of it, and if they get feedback from you,
very often they're well equipped to raisemore of the food that you want
to eat. I want to thankyou for being a part of what we
do here. Your feedback, yourquestions are the foundation of our content and
(17:48):
if you'd like to join our community, we have a membership site available at
www Dot prosperity hoomestead dot org andI'm working on getting you access to these
things because one of the things I'venoticed as the propaganda increases, as the
government tries to gain more control overland and your food choices, is that
people sometimes don't have the practical implementationavailable or the practical skills available. And
(18:14):
if we can get you those practicalskills, it really won't matter what the
rest of the world's doing. You'llhave quality food, you'll have quality vegetables,
you'll have food security, physical security, and you'll have this sense of
clarity that comes with eating clean foods. I'll see you in the next podcast.
I'm just a hit from Prosperity Homestead
What are your thoughts about food insecurity. I'm reading a government report here.
It's from the NCCHS, and itis talking about a National Health Interview Survey

(12:48):
Does food stamps actually help people getout of poverty and help people get the
quality food that they need. Doesit help them feed their children? And
the studies have shown that it doesn't. It helps them feed them food or
just calories in general. But againthat's quantity over quality. Studies have shown
(13:11):
you can live longer and you canlive a healthier life eating fewer calories with
a higher nutritional density. In fact, it's the nutritional density that matters more
than the calories you take in orany other aspect of the food. So
if you're using rancid seed oils orolive oil, that's not actually even olive
(13:33):
oil, and you're eating highly processedfood, and you're not getting fiber and
protein and the other elements that youneed, or complex carbohydrates, you're instead
getting simple carbohydrates. You're going tohave negative food outcomes. Now there is
a preference difference between supporting local farmsversus supporting the big industrial complex. The
(13:58):
big industrial complex and create large volumesof food that will make you feel full
or so it'll make you feel happyand you know, really get you to
emotionally connect it. It is sometimesboring to eat raw foods and vegetables.
I was a vegan for four years. Raw food vegan only ate raw foods,
giant salads, giant volumes of foodin order to maintain my calorie and
(14:22):
think got boring after a while.Now it was boring because of my understanding
of you know, I wasn't cookingthe food, so there wasn't dishes and
stuff I could do, so Iwould literally eat a bag of carrots for
a meal. But long story short, if you learn how to cook,
we start creating culture, fermenting,meal prep. There's different options to make
(14:46):
that food interesting. A lot offolks just don't have that skill. So
the last part of food security,for what we talk about here, is
to make sure you know about fermentation, that you know about the different ethnic
foods, different cultural foods, andthat we ALTI mean, have a chance
to take our seasonal vegetables, totake our seasonal meats, to take those
things and produce something that's community based, that's worth sharing. That's the experience
(15:11):
in the interchange of culture, foodand knowledge and taste, so that we
have something of value. Now,you could grow all your own fruits and
vegetables and meats. I think thatis a very good thing to do.
But again, you don't have tohave property to do this. You could
volunteer for a local farm, youcould work in a community garden. You
(15:31):
can do a lot of things,but because you don't have to grow everything
to eat it. But do notbe distracted by the food insecurity claims that
are based on a survey that simplyasked some questions about somebody's last thirty days
experience and doesn't really look into quantity, quality, and availability on a broad
(15:52):
scale. This is political propaganda totell you that Americans are food insecure and
therefore the government needs to increase thesethe money paid out to these programs.
The truth is, yes, peopleare food insecure, but it's because of
poor decision making and lack of educationassociated to the food that is available.
(16:17):
You can get high quality steaks,fruits, and vegetables in your local area
within season, and it can providefor your family for generations, Reduce health
negative health outcomes, improve your vitality, help you live longer, improve your
relationships because again that community food infrastructureincludes going to local restaurants, it includes
(16:41):
having parties, and includes making yourland a destination rather than having to go
outside all the time for your recreation. I know I've covered a lot here.
I want to make sure that you'reunderstanding this, and that's why I
always invite you to ask questions.I want to hear your comments. I
want to hear your questions. Visitwww Dot prosperityhomestead dot org ask your questions
(17:03):
on the contact page. We alsohave a number of free resources they're available
there that help you with the foodsecurity implementation. I want you to have
great food security on your property,and that could be as easy as a
small herb garden or a small gardenthat provides supplemental vegetables. And then of
course understanding where in your community youcan go for seasonal fruits and vegetables,
(17:26):
and really supporting your local farmer.Very often they know where food is available
and how to get more of it, and if they get feedback from you,
very often they're well equipped to raisemore of the food that you want
to eat. I want to thankyou for being a part of what we
do here. Your feedback, yourquestions are the foundation of our content and
(17:48):
if you'd like to join our community, we have a membership site available at
www Dot prosperity hoomestead dot org andI'm working on getting you access to these
things because one of the things I'venoticed as the propaganda increases, as the
government tries to gain more control overland and your food choices, is that
people sometimes don't have the practical implementationavailable or the practical skills available. And
(18:14):
if we can get you those practicalskills, it really won't matter what the
rest of the world's doing. You'llhave quality food, you'll have quality vegetables,
you'll have food security, physical security, and you'll have this sense of
clarity that comes with eating clean foods. I'll see you in the next podcast.
