The day that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Donald Trump for president, both politicians promised to investigate chronic health issues and corruption within America’s health and food ecosystem. Watching Trump and Kennedy’s remarks, health and wellness influencer Courtney Swan says she “full blown sobbed.” “Oh God, I’m getting emotional just thinking about it,” Swan shared in a phone interview with The Daily Wire. “I have been waiting my entire adult voting life for a presidential candidate to acknowledge how sick our country is.”  Swan, whose “realfoodology” Instagram account has almost 400,000 followers, isn’t the only one who feels this way. The people behind similarly-themed accounts told The Daily Wire that their followers are very interested in the Trump-Kennedy alliance, specifically the duo’s pledge to fix America’s food problem.  This isn’t the MAGA-hat-wearing crowd typically drawn to Trump: their main interests are health, wellness, and nutrition. Many of them have never voted Republican in their lives. But something changed during the pandemic, the influencers who spoke with The Daily Wire shared. Health officials discouraged exercise, encouraged masks, and mandated vaccines — and Americans didn’t like it. Kennedy drew these newly-skeptical Americans in with his frank condemnation of seed oils and processed foods, and his disgust for Big Food and Big Pharma. Then he dropped out and endorsed Trump, leaving these voters — many of whom never had a home in either major party — wondering if the Diet Coke-swilling, McDonald’s loving former president could be the leader they’ve been waiting for. “I’ve been registered independent pretty much my whole life,” said Iliriana Balaj, founder and CEO of the “low tox” shop, LiveHealthillie, and the owner of the “healthillie” Instagram account. “This is probably the first year where someone is finally talking about what America really needs right now: real health and wellness and bringing down the biggest corporations that have monopolized everything from food to products that we use every single day.”  Balaj argues that female voters in particular could be drawn to a candidate who makes health and wellness a part of their campaign “Women are the ones buying the food and they’re in the supermarkets every single day…they’re the ones at the supermarket reading labels and they’re the ones being marketed,” she explained.  Whether or not it comes up in Tuesday’s presidential debate, Trump seems more than willing to expand the GOP’s famous “Big Tent” to include these “crunchy” voters. He’s even got a new slogan, just for them: “Make America Healthy Again.” Putting Our Country At Risk Chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are the leading causes of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — and the “leading drivers of the nation’s $4.5 trillion in annual health care costs.” Close to 30% of American teens are prediabetic, more than 18% of young adults have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cancer rates among young people are rising.  Experts have predicted that by 2030, almost half of United States adults will be severely obese, and data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey found that 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. “Six out of 10 adults in America are living with a chronic illness,” Kennedy wrote in the Wall Street Journal last week. “Seventy-four percent of American adults are overweight or obese. Rates of kidney disease and autoimmune conditions are going up. Cancer rates among young people are rising. This is despite Americans spending more and more to treat many of these conditions. U.S. life expectancy is markedly lower than in every other developed country, with wide disparities between income classes.” Over the last few years, particularly during and after the COVID-19 outbreak, many Americans have started to pay more attention to these spiraling health issues.  High-profile figures like Kennedy and fitness expert Jillian Michaels have become more and more outspoken about their concerns that American nutritional information is confusing and harming consumers, warning that products on typical American grocery shelves are loaded with ultra-processed foods containing harmful seed oils, chemicals, and toxins.  “Our chronic sick condition is putting our country at risk,” warns Swan.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by COURTNEY SWAN Realfoodology™ (@realfoodology) Popular social media influencers like Carnivore Aurelius have drawn attention to the topic while arguing that the key to a healthier lifestyle lies in consuming whole foods and red meat, getting plenty of sunshine, and totally avoiding seed oils. At the same time, “Big Food” appears to be preparing for battle. The Wall Street Journal reported in January 2024 that the food industry is rallying to push back and defend processed foods, regardless of the human cost. “Behind the scenes, food-industry proponents have also begun pressing for more oversight of government-funded research on ultra-processed foods, according to industry lobbyists,” reported the Journal’s Jesse Newman. “Less processing, they say, could lead to more food waste, higher prices and problems for consumers who might struggle to store more fresh foods.” Meanwhile, the governments of Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and Israel have urged citizens to limit their consumption of these highly processed foods, the WSJ reports. The Colombian government began taxing purchases of ultra-processed foods last year, and French manufacturers have started labeling products to help consumers understand how much they have been processed.  Make America Healthy Again Trump’s focus on chronic health issues actually predates Kennedy’s endorsement: he released a video in early June announcing a plan to address chronic illnesses and other health problems, particularly among children. He also pointed to increasing concerns that “Big Pharma” is profiting from American health issues.  “It is time to ask: What is going on?” the Republican nominee said in the video. “Is it the food that they eat? The environment that we live in? The over-prescription of certain medications? Is it the toxins and chemicals that are present in our homes?” When Trump took the stage in Arizona to accept Kennedy’s endorsement on August 26, he praised Kennedy’s “decades of work as an advocate for the health of our families and our children.”  “Nobody’s done more,” he said of Kennedy. “Millions and millions of Americans who want clean air, clean water, and a healthy nation have concerns about toxins in our environment and pesticides in our foods.” “That is why today, I’m repeating my pledge to establish a panel of top experts working with Bobby to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases, including autoimmune disorders, autism, obesity, infertility, and many more,” Trump added. “We want every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life.”  Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s national press secretary, emphasized to The Daily Wire that the former president is “extremely aware” of the current health crisis, “from the rise of chronic childhood illnesses to the high price of healthcare and insurance that hardworking families simply cannot afford.” Trump plans to establish a special presidential commission staffed with people “who are not bought and paid for by Big Pharma,” she told The Daily Wire. That commission will be charged with  “investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illnesses.”  “President Trump will keep his promise to make America affordable and healthy again when we elect him in November,” Leavitt said.  Kennedy echoed this sentiment in his endorsement. “Don’t you want healthy children?” Kennedy asked when he endorsed Trump, to strong applause. “Don’t you want the chemicals out of our food? Don’t you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption? That’s what President Trump told me that he wanted.”  “Don’t you want a president that’s going to make America healthy again?”  RFK Jr. takes the stage at Trump’s Arizona rally following his endorsement earlier today: “Don’t you want a President who’s going to make America healthy again?” pic.twitter.com/af7HOEkVY9 — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) August 24, 2024 A Game Changer Kennedy’s endorsement made Balaj, a lifelong independent, “100%” open to voting for Trump.  “That’s not something I would typically jump to but this is such an important topic, especially because it is now affecting children…how else do we fight against these giant monopolies if not someone in the government rooting for us?” she asked. Swan, too, described the endorsement as a game changer.  “I’ve been a voting liberal my entire adult life,” she said. “I voted blue my entire life. This is a huge turning point for me because this is, in my opinion, the biggest issue of our time right now.”    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Iliriana Balaj (@healthillie) One main concern of health influencers like Balaj is the “intentional confusion around what’s healthy and what’s not.” The day after Kennedy endorsed Trump, TIME published a piece headlined “What If Ultra-Processed Foods Aren’t as Bad as You Think?” The piece featured a single dietician who suggested that ultra-processed foods — those made almost entirely from food extracts or synthetic ingredients — had been given a bad rap. It was a far cry from a piece TIME published a year prior, titled “Why Ultra-Processed Foods Are So Bad for You.” Many found the magazine’s about-face suspicious, including Swan, who went viral with an Instagram post asking TIME: “Who paid you?” After the ensuing backlash, TIME altered the headline to read “Why One Dietitian is Speaking Up for ‘Ultra-Processed’ Foods.” But health influencers point to the piece as an example of how mainstream media does the bidding of big food corporations.  “Remember what I’ve taught you, the media isn’t on your side, they’re in bed with their advertisers ($$$$) who want to continue to profit off your illness,” Swan told her followers. “Do the opposite of what the mainstream media tells you to do so you can thrive!”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by COURTNEY SWAN Realfoodology™ (@realfoodology) Meanwhile, U.S. health authorities have not released clear guidance on how to approach ultra-processed foods. The FDA, without directly addressing processed foods, told The Daily Wire that it is focused on “creating a healthier food supply, empowering consumers and helping establish healthy starts” for younger populations. “I find it absolutely mind blowing that science can’t figure out a food scale for what an ultra processed food is — feels like they just WON’T determine that because of all the lobbying and corruption,” Balaj shared.  At the same time, she pointed out, Instagram and TikTok are flush with influencer dieticians who are paid to promote products full of “addictive and harmful additives” — sometimes even claiming these products are “clean.” She also takes issue with an online narrative that consuming ultra-processed foods “in moderation” is fine, pointing out that additives are in everything from “milk to protein bars.” A ‘Crunchy’ Vote? Alex Clark, host of “The Spillover” podcast, says she’s leaned heavily into health and wellness topics in recent months due to her predominantly conservative, female audience’s avid interest in these topics. And according to Clark, she has seen a huge uptick in female enthusiasm for Trump after Kennedy’s endorsement. “People think I’m making things up about the female enthusiasm for Trump post RFK Jr. announcement,” she posted on X on August 25. “Before this weekend if I posted a link to register to vote—maybe 60 clicks. After this announcement I had over 1700+ clicks to register. My followers on Instagram are almost exclusively conservative women.”  “Because of the RFK endorsement, women are telling me they are willing to publicly say they’re voting Trump for the first time,” she added.  Clark told The Daily Wire that her audience’s top three issues are inflation, abortion, and fighting “Big Food” and “Big Pharma.”  “Obviously they have it in the bag with Trump on inflation, he’s going to take care of that,” she said of her followers in a phone interview. “I think they’ve been a little disheartened by the wishy-washy soft-on abortion commentary…that has been really disheartening for some of them to the point where they were unsure that they wanted to vote.” Then came RFK Jr.’s endorsement, and Trump’s ongoing comments on chronic illness, which together “reignited so much hope and excitement for voting for Trump,” Clark said.  “It’s a major public health concern, the fact that chronic disease is now skyrocketing,” explained Max Lugavere, the author of “Genius Foods Longevity,” whose Instagram account boasts a massive 1.2 million followers.  Lugavere shared with The Daily Wire that the 2024 election comes up “all the time” in his direct messages.  “I think people are sick of being lied to, in ways that are both explicit and more covert, and they want to see real change,” he shared. “I do my best to highlight some of the lunacy that we see, whether with regard to the mainstream media’s coverage of their wellness related topics, or even from the field of nutrition science itself.”  Lugavere, who hasn’t endorsed a candidate yet, observed that the Biden-Harris administration does not discuss these issues — and that he doesn’t see them doing so anytime soon. “What gives me hope is the campaigning that RFK has done on behalf of the chronic disease epidemic and the fact that he now seems to have the ear of Donald Trump,” he said. “It does give me optimism that this is going to get more significant attention.” “People are now more aware than ever of just how dire a need we have for real solutions and advocacy and education around these topics,” Lugavere emphasized. “I’m going to vote for the party that makes those issues a priority,” he emphasized. “I’m definitely partial to whatever party puts more emphasis on the fact that we do have more agency in regards to our health, specifically lifestyle, nutrition.”    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Max Lugavere (@maxlugavere) The Harris campaign did not respond to requests for comment. Swan has echoed Lugavere’s sentiments on her social media platform, something the usually apolitical influencer tends to shy away from. With few exceptions, she says the majority of messages were from followers enthusiastically agreeing with her. “This is so incredibly important,” she paraphrased to The Daily Wire. “Thank you for speaking up about this.”  “There’s a movement happening,” Swan said.  “Many people are writing to me, saying, ‘I voted blue my whole life. Now, I’m changing course.’” 

Social media had a field day with a newly released clip of Daily Wire documentary “Am I Racist?” featuring “White Fragility” author Robin DiAngelo opting to pay Matt Walsh’s black producer $30 in racial reparations. On the heels of “What is a Woman?”, “Am I Racist?” is Walsh’s latest documentary, which explores the massive grift of the DEI industry with a man-bun-wearing, undercover Walsh. “On behalf of myself and my fellow white people, I apologize — it is not you, it is us. As long as I’m standing, I will do my best to challenge it,” Walsh tells his producer, before doling out cash from his wallet as a form of racial reparations. After DiAngelo calls the moment “weird,” she’s unable to combat her own ideology presented to her by Walsh, hustles over to her wallet and gives the producer the cash she has on hand, $30. The astonishing moment, first reported by the New York Post, racked up millions of views in the matter of hours, and plenty of reaction. ‘White Fragility’ author Robin DiAngelo gets tricked into paying reparations to Matt Walsh’s producer in ‘Am I Racist?’ documentary https://t.co/sjIuxL3UMO pic.twitter.com/K5gnzs7bUP — New York Post (@nypost) September 8, 2024 “I can neither confirm nor deny that I persuaded Robin DiAngelo to pay reparations to my black producer on camera,” Walsh responded. “You will have to watch the film and see for yourself.

Dogs classified as “hound dogs” come in a wide variety. Although most hound dogs are intelligent and can learn tricks, they all have peculiarities. Coon hounds are the lazy dogs you see laying on the porches of ramshackle cabins out in the boonies. You’ve seen them — the kind of dog you check for breathing because they haven’t moved in 48 hours. When you teach a hound dog tricks, they move at their own pace. @sightandscent As a good friend once said; lower your expectations . Dogs have different brains, different builds and different muscle composition that means tricks from one dog to the next may never look quite exact. When training look for a fluid understanding of the behavior over perfect duplication of a trick you’ve seen other dogs do. #dogtraining #hounddog #tricktraining #dogtricks #malinois #blackandtancoonhounds ♬ A Bar Song (Tipsy) – Shaboozey As you can see in the video, even a hound dog with good training does tricks at their own pace. No, they did not slow the speed of the video down. That’s just a normal coon hound moving at an average coon hound pace. Nothing is quick unless it involves devouring a bowl of food in seconds. The original poster of this speedy video is the human part of Hounds & Bean on TikTok. She has several coon hounds and fosters a variety of other breeds. Coon hounds and bloodhounds are famous for their fabulously droopy ears. Image from TikTok. Although hound dogs are capable of learning tricks, training is difficult. It requires a lot of repetition, diligence, and daily work with them. For years, they were bred to hunt, so if it doesn’t involve hunting or food, it is a new experience for them. There are many different types of hound dogs. Basset hounds are short and stout, with ears nearly dragging the ground. Beagles are energetic. Blue heelers, or Australian cattle dogs, are herders but are often confused with hounds. Many people think coon hounds are lazy, but they are faithful and loyal animals with hearts as big as their ears. They are excellent family dogs and love kids. They just move slow.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM As the cooler nights of fall approach, it’s time to start thinking about bringing your favorite outdoor plants indoors. The change from warm, open summer air to a controlled indoor environment can be difficult for plants, so timing is critical. According to Harold Taylor, a division gardener at Longwood Gardens, the optimal time to bring your plants indoors is when overnight temperatures routinely fall below 60°F. This protects your plants from the stress of colder weather, which could slow their transition. Climate differs by region, so it’s critical to observe local weather patterns. Consult your local agricultural extension office for particular advice on when temperatures in your area are likely to fall into the 50s. Key steps for preparing your plants for moving day Before bringing your plants indoors, take the time to prepare them. Begin by determining which plants are healthy enough to make the journey. Unfortunately, suffering plants may not make it through the transition to an indoor environment, which often has reduced humidity, dry heat, and less light. It’s usually preferable to leave these in the compost pile. Examine the plants that will be moving indoors for pests. Taylor suggests soaking the pots in lukewarm water for 15 minutes to wash out any undesirable critters hiding in the soil. In addition, use a 10 percent bleach solution to remove any moss or mold from the pot’s exterior. If your plants have grown significantly over the summer, it is time to repot them in somewhat larger containers with fresh potting soil. Setting up the perfect indoor environment Choosing the correct location for your indoor plants is critical to their long-term health. Taylor recommends planting plants that require full sun near south-facing windows, and those that require moderate sun near east- or west-facing windows. If your home does not receive enough natural light, consider investing in indoor plant lights to help maintain the light levels your plants require to grow. Avoid placing plants near drafts from doorways or heating vents, as they might stress the plants and cause leaf drop. If you have hanging plants, make sure you have the right hooks placed, and consider clustering them together on gravel trays to assist in keeping humidity levels surrounding them. Quarantine and avoiding transplant shock Once you’ve brought your plants indoors, quarantine them in a different room from the rest of your houseplants. This precaution allows you to keep an eye out for any pests or diseases that may have escaped detection during the initial examination. If any problems emerge, they can be resolved without jeopardizing the overall health of your indoor garden. To reduce the danger of transplant shock, which can appear as yellowing or falling leaves, gradually adjust your plants to lower light levels indoors. Relocate your plants to increasingly shadier areas outside before bringing them within to help them acclimate more smoothly to their new surroundings. Indoor plant care: watering and fertilizing tips Because of the lower light levels and slower growth rates, your plants will require less water indoors than they would outside. Allow the soil to dry slightly before watering again, especially succulents, which require less regular watering. Overwatering is a common mistake that can cause root rot and other complications. Once your plants are indoors, you should modify their fertilization. If you repot your plants in soil that already has fertilizer, you may not need to fertilize them right away. For other plants, refer to the packaging directions for indoor use. Simpson recommends topdressing your plants with worm castings before bringing them indoors since this natural fertilizer is both mild and effective. By carefully planning the shift, prepping your plants, creating the ideal indoor atmosphere, and caring for them, you can ensure that your plants not only survive but thrive over the winter months. When spring arrives, you’ll be able to confidently transfer them back outside.The post Prepare your plants for moving day: a guide to bringing your plants indoors this fall first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM As society faces the challenges of an aging population, new housing concepts are emerging that promise to address one of the most important issues of older adults: loneliness. One such option is intergenerational housing, which combines senior living facilities, daycare centers, and university campuses. This method not only provides care and accommodations but also encourages meaningful social connections among people of various ages. Belong, a supportive housing development in Chester, England, is an excellent illustration of this concept, as it includes an infant and preschool facility on its premises. Residents at Belong, whether in 24-hour nursing care or independent apartments, are lovingly known as “grand friends” and are welcome to visit the children at any time. “It doesn’t feel like a care facility—it feels like you’re part of a community,” says Caroline Baker, Belong’s head of dementia and care quality. The layout promotes spontaneous contact, such as informal talks in the café or group activities like choir and storytime, resulting in a vibrant, multigenerational setting. Benefits beyond the walls: socialization and cognitive health The advantages of such intergenerational arrangements go far beyond simply socializing. According to research, these interactions can have a significant impact on both older adults and young children. Being around children can assist seniors, particularly those suffering from dementia, connect with their long-term memories, and engage in activities that reinforce their cognitive skills. “Particularly for people living with dementia, it [being around kids] enables them to think about their previous lives and connect with their own childhood,” Baker points out. Furthermore, the opportunity to act as role models and feel wanted gives older persons a revitalized sense of purpose, which helps them overcome feelings of isolation. According to a 2015 study, persons aged 50 to 79 who studied part-time at a university were less likely to suffer from memory loss or cognitive illnesses like dementia. Positive contacts with older persons help children develop a more realistic and sympathetic understanding of aging. A global trend: examples from the UK, USA, and beyond Intergenerational housing patterns are gaining popularity around the world, with noteworthy examples in the UK and the United States. Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle began integrating a nursery into its senior housing complex in 1991. The program currently enrolls 125 youngsters, and interactions between the children and the 400-plus residents occur on a daily basis. The Pillars of Prospect Park in Minneapolis, which opened in 2020, includes a daycare center for both the general public and staff members’ children. Erin Erdahl, director of programs and partnerships at The Pillars, says, “It is comforting to have my child close by, but it is also fun to be able to pop up and visit the classroom and stay connected with them.” The United States has also seen an increase in university-based retirement communities, where seniors live on or near college campuses and participate in campus life. Examples include Arizona State University’s Mirabella complex and Lasell Village in Massachusetts, where residents utilize student IDs to attend classes and events. Planning for the future: urban integration and cultivating community As the baby boomer population ages, there will be an increased desire for lively, community-focused retirement living. Bryan Schachter, chief investment officer at Watermark Retirement Communities, underlines this shift: “Baby boomers don’t want to be out in the suburbs like most of the senior housing that was built 30 years ago… We’re trying to push the envelope in developing top-of-the-line care homes that are driven around hospitality, fitness and wellness, and dining options, and in urban locations like cities, which was not previously thought of.” In response to these evolving choices, urban retirement housing that incorporates intergenerational living is becoming increasingly important. These innovative models not only meet older individuals’ social needs but also provide practical solutions to issues like cheap housing and community engagement. As the stigma associated with traditional senior living diminishes, these new approaches to intergenerational care are paving the way for a more connected and caring society. By creating areas where different generations may coexist and grow, we can build communities that actually care about the well-being of all members.The post Belong is an intergenerational housing solution to combat loneliness among older adults first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.
