Here's your daily dose of Andrew's Apples, a small white bag of four fresh *fruits* to nourish your soul and make you feel great. All in under 2 minutes. Let's go picking. 

1. 🌶️ Hotly political. It was only a matter of time until the mainstream-political vampire squid latched onto fitness culture, deeming it hyper-masculine and even alt-right. Rofl. Here's the deal folks: looking good and feeling good is not and will never be political. These clowns want you fat and sad so that you tune in every night at six. And to be clear: I don't have a dog in this fight; any election I'll vote R, D, I, or for a deranged ape if he's saying the right things; I am changing every day as I swallow new information. But I'll be blunt: these toadies are unforgivably annoying in their assault on ordinary people simply trying to take back their health after lockdowns led to metabolic disease spikes for 2 years+. Alas, one can't spell politics without "tic", this habitual behavioral feature of the vampire squid. You've been warned.

2. 🍊 Orangeaid. Today's oranges need our help. Compared to 1950s oranges, we would need 21 oranges today to get the same amount of Vitamin A from a single 1950s orange. And get this: 100 apples today to get the same amount of Vitamin C as 1 from yesteryear. Same goes for iron in meat and calcium in broccoli. I will caveat by saying that measurement methods have changed (i.e. improved over the years) so, like anything, margin for error is present. But don't get it twisted. Compare this phenomenon to inflation - while I don't think current real inflation in the US is 40%, it sure as hell is not 7.9% (what the Fed barfed up this month) when real estate/cars/rent are all up 20-30% lmao. While we can disagree on the magnitude of the nutritional hit on our food, why is nutritional density decreasing at all? Robbed soils, routine pesticides + herbicides, Big Ag monocropping a perfectly paved hell over Mother Nature... If you can afford it: go for local organic produce/protein. The oranges need a hand. Make Sunny D great again, gang.

3. 🪑 Superseated. I don't need to shower you in stats about how we Americans are sitting ourselves to death. Eh what the heck. Like it or hate it, we are leading lives of pro-processed food, pro-toxins, and pro-sedentariness. Sometimes people will say, "But Andrew! My grandpa is 100 years old and he ate garbage his whole life and his teeth fell out and he smells weird!" Ok lil grasshopper, your G-Papa ate clean food from the ground most of his earlier life, didn't sit and stare at a screen all day, and had exercise woven into his day so no dedicated "gym time" was needed. Folks in cool cities: Equinox is not supposed to be there. It's there because its backers know you sit all day lol. Like any business, Equinox thrives by putting butts in seats.

4. 🐉 The demonic dozen. Check out this tweet. Basically, about 12 consumer packaged good giants shelve the entire grocery store. Zoom in on the brands tehehe. You'll overwhelmingly see shelf-stable Frankenfood that keeps the bovine American population mooing year round. 95% of the time, shop the perimeter of the store. Know this however: the perimeter food (produce, animal protein, fermented goods, high-fat dairy, etc.) does NOT taste as good as the ambient core of the store :-( It's hard to compete with wonky food engineers whose job is to turn you into a drug addict.

How do you like them Apples? Suggestions? Hate me? If you ever need anything, hit reply.
