Are We Really Civilized If We Still Punish Those Who Fail at the Game?

Wynne M. Dec 29, 2024, 10:55 PM

We like to think we’re better than the hunter-gatherers. But are we? They lived in scarcity because nature provided little. We have the resources to house everyone, feed everyone, educate everyone.

Wynne M. Nov 29, 2024, 12:03 PM

Let’s not sugarcoat this—or better yet, let’s not bleach it like we did our grains. The food you eat today isn’t food at all. It’s a hollow imitation, stripped of its most vital component: fiber. Yes, the same fiber that regulates your digestion, feeds your gut bacteria, and protects you from disease. We removed it. Deliberately. And for what? Longer shelf life? A smoother texture?
