ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS DRIVING AMERICA’S CHRONIC DISEASE EPIDEMIC
After decades of churning out processed food-like substances, America is now reaping the health disaster it sowed. Our leading causes of death – heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers – are largely diet-driven chronic diseases, not random bad luck. Ultra-processed foods make up 58% of the American diet, and they’re directly linked to higher rates of […]
Fat is Healthy Confirmation!
New research in the Journal of Nutrition today confirms what Goodnight’s Red River Spice Co. has been saying for years: traditional dietary fat isn’t the villain it’s been portrayed to be.

There’s No Excuse. Eat Like You Give a Damn.
Yesterday morning I was in Stuart. Then the Space Coast. Then Eastern Orlando. Today I’m back in Stuart.

A ketovore meal built on grass-fed elk, pasture-raised eggs, and fresh avocado provides the perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. The same amount of calories from fast food is packed with seed oils, refined carbs, […]
Yes, Eggs Are Expensive. But So Is Health Care.
A recent article points out the rising cost of eggs, but let’s put this in perspective. Yes, eggs cost more than they used to, but what’s the alternative? Cutting out one of the most nutrient-dense, affordable, and versatile foods on the planet in favor of processed, nutrient-empty substitutes? The truth is, eggs are one of […]
Another Misleading Article on Milk: When Will They Stop Pushing Food Lies?
Yet another article is out, this time from Yahoo, trying to tell us what the “healthiest” milk is. Spoiler alert: it’s more of the same recycled nonsense designed to confuse consumers and push industrial products. They rave about ultra-filtered milks and plant-based alternatives while barely touching on what actually matters: the quality of the milk […]
A Garbage Article About Garbage Food. Throw Fast Food Rankings in the Trash.
A recent article ranking the “unhealthiest fast food sandwiches in America” attempts to tackle a serious issue but completely misses the mark. By focusing on calorie counts, sodium levels, and fat content, it perpetuates a shallow narrative about health and nutrition. Worse yet, it distracts from our food industry’s real, systemic problems. It is time […]
