Mainstream music often feels like programming with repetitive hooks pushing specific messages. I've found more authenticity and raw expression in underground artists, whose lyrics often feel like poetry. It's a different kind of connection.

🛒 Read this before your next grocery run.
Over 70% of products on U.S. grocery store shelves are ultra-processed — and that includes plenty of the ones dressed up with words like "healthy," "natural," "low-fat," and "guilt-free." (Northeastern University analyzed 50,000+ foods from Walmart, Target and Whole Foods to get that number.)
Here's why it matters. A 2024 umbrella review of 45 studies covering nearly 10 million people linked diets high in ultra-processed foods to 32 different health conditions, including:

50% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease
55% higher risk of obesity
40% higher risk of Type 2 diabetes
Higher rates of anxiety, depression, and early death from any cause

And it's not a small slice of our diet — over half the calories the average American eats now come from ultra-processed products. For kids, it's over 60%.
"Ultra-processed" isn't the same as "junk food." It means the product has been industrially altered with ingredients you'd never find in a home kitchen — protein isolates, modified starches, emulsifiers, artificial colors and flavor enhancers. A "healthy" protein bar or a "natural" cereal can be every bit as ultra-processed as a candy bar.
A note on GMOs: major health agencies say approved GMO foods themselves aren't proven to harm your health — but the bigger issue is transparency. Labels often don't tell you how heavily a food has been processed or engineered. You're left guessing. And that's exactly the problem.
So here's the move: stop trusting the front of the package. That's marketing. Flip it over and read the ingredient list. If it's long, unpronounceable, and reads like a lab inventory — put it back. 🔍
Your body keeps the receipts. Eat like it. 💚

Interesting admission — given how much of Peterson's own framework leans on Nietzsche. Which is maybe the point: the thinkers who shape you most are the ones you eventually argue with
