Hi Isaac the wholesome conspirator,

This is really interesting. I've also written a piece on autism and diet which you might be interested in https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/mmr-and-autism.

I also radically changed my health and diet - having a break down-recovering by doing yoga-learning to love myself- wondering, whilst mediating, what kind of life the pig who became the ham in my fridge had had- starting to eat whole food vegan diet-full of beans, depression and constipation gone.

The thing I've learnt over the last 2 years though, is the futility of recommending or telling anyone else what to do. Everything is up to them. However having worked with the most amazing, hilarious, joyful young adults who happen to have learning disabilities and their parents I would love it if more information was out there about the positive impacts on behaviour additions of greens etc can bring.

I don't see why you think muesli is a vice. I have it 2 or 3 times a day. I have some rolled oats, sultanas, cinnamon or cacao, linseed plus whole grain groats, barley, rye and wheat, prunes then add apple, kiwi, peach, raw nut butter... All organic and mostly regenerative grown. My internal garden looks after me, I look after it.

Up until 2 years ago I thought that viruses caused disease and that vaccines saved lives. So grateful that I've been fully disabused of that nonsense.

I also recently turned down a great job with Mencap because they wanted me to do testing and be jabbed. Now voluteering at a local community farm (fruit and veg, no animals!), no jab.

Just had my second bowl.

Great to connect with you too.

I’ve come to realize that one’s mental outlook on life seems to have at least an equal weight on health as diet does. Do what brings you joy!
