California was a utopia, but is rapidly becoming a dystopia. The reason for it’s collapse, some say, is that the state is losing its collective mind.
Though there are still a few pockets of level-headedness left in the state, they tend to be way out there, where very few want to go.
Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Eating Our Way Out of Mental Dystopia
For evidence of California’s dystopia, take a walk around its City-by-the-Bay. San Francisco was one of the world’s best walking cities, but has become a live-action Blade Runner movie, wherein the progressive elite live high above the streets in gilded penthouses, while what is left of its middle class wearily walks the sidewalks past boarded up store fronts, all the while keeping eyes fixed on the sidewalk to avoid stepping on needles and piles of San Franfecal.
Why is San Francisco losing its mind? It most certainly is not because its progressive citizens lack compassion. Last year the city’s politicians spent $260 million caring for 18,000 people who could not care for themselves. Not enough! This year Mayor London Breed championed legislation for a sweeping new mental health reform that doubles the city’s mental health budget to $500 million a year in order to “de-institutionalize, de-stigmatize, and de-criminalize” those who can’t stay out of trouble.
But no matter how compassionate California’s progressive citizens may be, and how much money they are willing to spend on the problem of mental health, the state keeps right on losing its collective mind.
This observation, which is purely subjective on my part, brings to mind a couple of Food Chain Radio shows I hosted nearly 20 years with Professor Stephen Schoenthaler called Crime and Nourishment. Schoenthaler conducted double blind studies of incarcerated juveniles and adults. One half of each population received a multi-vitamin supplement, the other halves a sugar pill. Schoenthaler’s study showed a 6% net IQ gain and a 38% reduction in criminal behavior within the populations that received the multivitamins.
Schoenthaler estimated the cost of providing multivitamin supplements to individuals at $30 per year! Bottom line: If San Francisco were to treat the 18,000 who can’t care for themselves with multivitamins, instead of bureaucracy, it might have a more mentally-fit population and save $450 million a year!.
Thinking back on those Food Chain episodes of nearly 20 years ago leads me to ask:
Leave Comment Below: Can we eat our way out of mental dystopia?

“Together, we can eat our way to economic security and personal freedom, and it won’t cost a dime and it will be so easy it will make you blush!”
Michael Olson’s Three Laws of the Food Chain
#1 Agriculture is the foundation upon which we build all our sand castles.
#2 The farther we go from the source of our food, the less control we have over what’s in that food.
#3 Cheap food isn’t! READ MORE
