The Alarming State of America's Health & Food (Justin Mares) EvolutionFM
-
- Spirituality
One of my closest friends Justin Mares knows more about health then just about anyone I know. He’s built 3 food companies in Kettle & Fire, Perfect Keto, and Surely Wines which give him unique insight into how the stuff we put into our bodies is actually made. Now he is working on new company called True Medicine that is making it easier and more affordable to be healthy.
I’ve been a long time follower of his newsletter @ and a few years ago he started sharing staggering information on what is happening to the U.S. population's health citing our food system as a culprit.
Check these stats out which we discuss in the episode:
The average testosterone of a 22 year old American male is the same as a 67 year old man 20 years ago
In 1990, there were 0 states with obesity greater than 20%. In 2018, there are 0 states with obesity less than 20%. Obesity, which is correlated to lots of health issues, has more then doubled in the past 28 years.
25% of the pesticides we use in the U.S. for growing food (including organic) are illegal in Europe
The new food pyramid in the U.S. claims that sugary cereal is more healthy then eating an egg or piece of beed
93% of streams, rivers and lakes in the US had some sort of like microplastic contamination in them
