President’s Message
“Everything is on the table,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in an introductory speech to his staff (youtube.com/watch?v=o-BCMG198Yc). It’s all up for discussion: vaccine safety, EMFs, glyphosate and pesticides, ultra-processed food, artificial colors and flavorings, SSRIs (antidepressant drugs like Zoloft), PFAs and PFOAs, microplastics. . . They’ll all be looked at in an effort to make America healthy again.
One thing he didn’t mention, and in fact that no one is talking about: the substitution of industrial seed oils for animal fats over the last seventy years, ever since the push for margarine began in the late 1950s. Virtually every health problem we are seeing today, from infertility to diabetes to depression to behavioral and learning disorders, stems from the lack of healthy animal fats in the diet—with their complement of fat-soluble vitamins and life-sustaining fatty acid profiles.
Of course, we need to look at the adulterations in our food and environment (including fluorosilicic acid—toxic waste added to drinking water—not mentioned by Mr. Kennedy) and the abomination of vaccinations, but a diet based on animal fats can even mitigate these poisons. Animal fats certainly help people think more clearly so they are less likely to fall for scams.
The health crisis has taken seventy years to develop and won’t be solved overnight. True vibrant health can return only to the next generation. . . IF the young people of today wake up and adopt a nutrient-dense diet containing animal fats to prepare for pregnancy and nourishing their children through gestation, lactation and growth. Adding raw milk (also not mentioned by Mr. Kennedy) will augment the nutrient density of an animal fat-based diet.
I call this the Natural Selection of the Wise—those who do not embrace a traditional diet based on animal fats will not reproduce—certainly not after two generations of diets based on industrial seed oils—while those wise enough to eat the right foods will reproduce. So America will get healthy again, but not immediately and not until a crescendo of the health crisis occurs along with a tragic reduction of the population.
Here at the Weston A. Price Foundation, we take pride in educating the Wise, and in every healthy baby born to conscientious parents. Please join us in raising a toast to this our 100th journal!
And please make plans to attend Wise Traditions 2025, October 17-19 in Salt Lake City, Utah. We have an amazing lineup of speakers this year, including Drs. Mark and Sam Bailey from New Zealand and Nina Teicholz, head of the Nutrition Coalition. Hope to see you there!
