When the agrifood system is so enshittified it needs its own word: agshittification to illuminate in sharp relief the cause, consequence, and existential crisis at the heart of Big Ag, with its colossal meat-making factory farming industry at the evil heart of it all.

Your heart beats roughly 100,000 times a day. Your brain has its own waste-clearance system, with glymphatic activity strongly linked to sleep. And some of the foods we think we “know” have surprisingly different nutritional profiles. A few examples: 🥑 Magnesium: Pumpkin seeds can pack dramatically more magnesium per 100 g than avocado. 🍓 Sugar: Strawberries contain far less sugar per 100 g than grapes. 🫑 Vitamin C: Red bell peppers can contain substantially more vitamin C per 100 g than oranges. 🥣 Protein: Depending on the product, cottage cheese can edge out Greek yoghurt gram-for-gram. None of this means grapes are “bad”, oranges are overrated, or avocado has somehow lost its wellness membership card. Nutrition isn’t a morality contest. What fascinates me is how disconnected we’ve become from understanding the actual biology and nutrient density of our food. We obsess over calories. We argue about diets. We buy supplements. Meanwhile, the human body is running an extraordinarily complex biological system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And the raw materials matter. This is why I keep coming back to the same idea: Food is health. Not food as marketing. Not food as ideology. Not the latest dietary tribe. Real food. Nutrient density. Sleep. Movement. Soil health. Metabolic health. And perhaps most importantly, understanding where our food came from and how it was produced. Because the conversation about human health eventually leads you back to agriculture. Healthy soil → nutrient-dense food → healthier animals → healthier humans. We spend billions trying to optimise the human machine. Maybe we should spend a little more time understanding what we’re putting into it. #FoodIsHealth #Nutrition #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #HumanHealth #FoodSystems #NutrientDensity #Agriculture #Grow
