🕣 What's ongoing -
- Over a year ago I expressed my concern about GMO crops. They are often engineered to be resistant to glyphosate, so farmers can spray these crops with RoundUp. Turns out glyphosate causes cancer. And Monsanto likely knew it. RoundUp was approved based on fraudulent studies. Now thousands of cases have been brought against them, most
recently, a $2 billion dollar verdict.

⚠ What warning elevated -
- Speaking of warnings, after an extensive investigation into the many cases of sleepwalking and accidental suicides, the FDA placed one of their strongest warnings on Ambien and similar sleep drugs. I'm in the middle of writing a detailed guide on sleep, which I'll have for you in the coming weeks, but for now just know there are many reasons to be leary of
sleeping pills.

🙈 What's being censored -
- A very popular LCHF (low carb, high fat) facebook group with over 1.5 million members was deleted unannounced. It looks a lot like nutrition censorship. I don't have all the facts. I don't know all the motivations. But I do think this kind of censorship is dangerous. As I mentioned in the private Meat Health facebook group - if you are subscribed to this newsletter, even if we were shut down, it would be easy to communicate with you and get our group right back up.

🎹 What could help kids (and me) learn better and faster -

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"...if there really is a complete unified theory,
it would also presumably determine our actions.
And so the theory itself would determine the outcome of our search for it."
-Stephen Hawking

❔ What are the Big Questions -
- The answer lies in asking the right question. Big answers lie in big questions. And few people have asked more astounding questions than Stephen Hawking. I devoured two of his books in the last couple weeks, and while string theory and gravitational waves are still a bit over my head, I found great value in these books. They expanded my thinking, and reminded me there is magic in thinking
big.

💲 What's getting expensive -
- You all :) We surpassed a landmark this week, crossing 25,000 members reading the Saturday 7. It just so happens this puts us at the top - the most expensive, highest-tier pricing the newsletter service provider offers. Hope this shows just how much I love you :) But in all seriousness, I appreciate you more than you know. And look forward to continuing to share our
journeys together. Thank you.

It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you,
hope you have a great weekend!
Kevin
