Love to hear this. One thing that's often misperceived is that eating healthy is actually less expensive most of the time because you're creating the food from scratch rather than paying $25 for like an okay meal.
I'm currently pregnant with our 3rd and totally like to blame pregnancy cravings for the sweet tooth I always have, pregnant or not. Trying to hit 100 whole food grams of protein a day has been helpful, along with finding a healthy alternative to whatever sweet I'm craving at the moment. (Like eating berries and milk instead of ice cream, for example.)
Bravo to new military standards. I joined the USArmy in 1979. Fort McClellan started the first male and female combined unit. We lived in the same Barracks men on third floor, men on first floor, women on second floor. Our female drill Sargents were living together as a couple. Which was a secret (not). The chubby boys who could not keep up with the male runners fell behind with the females, the tall female runners jept up with the male formation. Our Master Sargent raped our Female Squad leader. Out of 25 female enlistees, 16 finished. Men are built differently than females. This has proven to be true as male athletes are taking all the medals away from females in the women's sports arenas.
Hegseth needs to re-evaluate Co-Ed Military. There are many competitive military roles for women, but on the battlefield is not ideal!
Lived it ! It may be time for Rosy Riveter to take on a future role that will let our skills shine! Honor our Military men and women by recognizing our differences!
Dear Vance: I continue to find your articles valuable. Thank you for educating me on health.
I looked for raw kefir, but Colorado has a law against raw milk. So, I'm looking into cow shares and other ways of proceeding. And the EPOCH Times today, 10/11/25, includes this related podcast:
"What to Know About Raw Milk, Seed Oils, and the Food Pyramid," with Sally Fallon Morell interviewed by Jan Jekielek. Appreciating you, Lindy
I eventually learned to make my pregnancy cravings at home/from scratch in order to make them healthier and saved a lot of money.
Rachel!

This one had me rolling, your writing style is great! Feels like I’m listening to you talk and just riff.
TJ!

Go Hegseth!

Oh, and can't forget, lots of butter. 🧈
SHARLA WITH THE WISDOM YET AGAIN.
Okay, yes - I've heard that when protein uptake increases, ungodly cravings can decrease.
Can't wait to hear how amazing this third born will be, given you're eating plenty of butter :)
Blessings to you and I am praying for a healthy pregnancy and smooth delivery. Keep the Buttercups posted!
