Ozempic?

Ozempic?

Ask your doctor if Ozempic is right for you. To which many Canadians answer, “You have a Doctor?”

I have a Doctor. I am one of the lucky ones. I called yesterday to check on the referral for a biopsy. He had sent the referral two weeks ago, but his office had not heard back yet. It’s not like the old days when Doctor’s offices would contact you, like Dentists did, to remind you when you were due for an appointment. I suppose you could say it was a Buyers market then, and is a Sellers market now.

Ozempic is for treatment of type two diabetes. Jackie Goldschneider says,”An eating disorder in a needle. [It's] sad and sickening. [I] can't imagine what will happen if people need to suddenly stop." I have no clue who Jackie is, but People Magazine thinks highly of her.

Chelsea Handler, who I am at least aware of, though not on speaking terms-don’t worry, it was nothing she said. Or anything that I said. Anyway, Chelsea says,

"My anti-aging doctor just hands it out to anybody. I didn't even know I was on it. She said, 'If you ever want to drop five lbs., this is good.'

"I came back from a vacation and I injected myself with it. I went to lunch with a girlfriend a few days later, and she was like, 'I'm not really eating anything. I'm so nauseous, I'm on Ozempic.' And I was like, 'I'm kind of nauseous too.' But I had just come back from Spain and was jet-lagged.

"I'm not on it anymore. That's too irresponsible. I'm an irresponsible drug user, but I'm not gonna take a diabetic drug. I tried it, and I'm not gonna do that. That's not for me. That's not right for me.

"I've injected about four or five of my friends with Ozempic because I realized I didn't wanna use it cause it's silly. It's for heavy people. Everyone is on Ozempic. It's gonna backfire, something bad is gonna happen."

Dr. Ania Jastreboff tells PEOPLE magazine that Ozempic is one of a family of "nutrient-stimulated, hormone-based medications" that target the brain. Results include weight loss, which are magic words for many North Americans.

In my work life, my day job, my “career”, I sell organic ingredients. We also manufacture delicious non-dairy cheeses, that are fermented cashew based. They are fermented the old fashioned way, with time and fermentation agents, like miso, and apple cider vinegar. Our brand is Avafina Organics. Ask your store for them.

Demand they bring them in. That’s what is needed- direct involvement. Consumers taking charge, driving retailers to talk to distributors, and brokers, and all the other labels and layers of the food industry.

Fermentation has been around for thousands of years. Fermentation is the original “starter”. Someone left food out on a rock or on the ground in that time before refrigeration. Just before the food decomposed to the point of rot, someone ate it, and it was good. Fermentation has brought us all the good things in life, including wine, women and song. All of these benefit from fermentation. I like my women like I like my wine- with a full body, layers of subtle olfactory charms, and just a little tang.

I’m not referring to the drink the astronauts drank. The Treniers sang about it.

But modern man being modern couldn’t leave well enough alone. In fact, they have gone to the well so many times, the well is almost dry.

I need a moment here to let my wife speak. She says I get so focused that I cannot see. I was complaining about the small typing area on my mini IPad, and asked her if I could borrow her Mac Bluetooth keyboard. She came over to the mini IPad,and turning it horizontally, made the font and keyboard super big. I had not even considered such a move. That is why Woman is smarter. That is why they call me Dense.

Back to modern man. After progressing to the point where much of the world is hungry, starving actually, even though 50% of all that is food produced is wasted, they need to use more technology to create more “food” options.

Enter Precision Fermentation. Have you heard of Sartorius? Sartorius? Ask your grocer or your doctor about Sartorius.

Hint: Sartorius was not the Greek God of Metrosexuality. I just went down the rabbit hole to recall the concept of the metrosexual, popular in the 90’s. Cosmopolitan magazine defines the term metrosexual as “The term "metrosexual" was born in the mid-90s, but took life in the early 2000s to describe a straight guy who lived or worked in the city and was blowing his cash on stylish threads. A.K.A., almost every freaking woman's dream dude.”

Funny, when I asked Doctor Google to tell me the word that is opposite of Manly Man, it did not come up with metrosexual. Instead, I got “nonvirile · small ; flabby · reticent ; underweight · no guts ; lacking courage · pretty ; unwilling · unmannerly.”

Hardly flattering or accurate. And Toxic Masculinity is not systemic, endemic, the original pandemic? It certainly caught on. Mind you, if you walk around with an erection all day, you are bound to catch it on something.

Where was I? So many rabbit holes, so little time.

Sartorius.

It is the name of a company who markets their services as such:

”Only Sartorius can supply a full range of instruments, consumables and analytical software. Our outstanding track record in the pharma/biotech sector puts us in a prime position to fully support the food biotech industry. In particular our product range is 100% applicable to food products where there is a focus on proteins, colorants, additives and aromas and, indeed, where microorganisms and mammalian cells are key – for instance, cultured meat. The solutions required, including data analytics software, are pretty much equivalent to those needed for drugs and vaccines. We are the only supplier that can truly call ourselves a ‘one-stop shop’ for this rapidly developing and highly competitive market.” https://www.sartorius.com

Cultured meat. Your Impossible burger bleeds red heme, derived from GMO soy, and made using you guessed it, Precision Fermentation. This is the dark side of the plant-based technology that is fueling our Brave New Meats.

Now don’t get me wrong. I am not anti-science, and I only flirt with Vegans. But the meat industry is actually financing quite a bit of this research. Of course there are links to Big Pharma.
