Stop blaming yourself for being sick. We are living in a rigged game, and the playing field is literally your dinner plate.
As devoted Cranky readers know, I am highly skeptical of the “truths” we’ve been told by government, the media, and the corporate world — I believe the world is a very different place than we have been led to believe. So, one day while exploring videos from other truth-seekers, I happened upon a video titled “The Foodening: How We All Got Cheerfully Poisoned” — and I was hooked immediately.
The creator, Probably Alexandra, is a content creator and independent researcher known for her detailed, provocative, and faith-informed investigations into topics often ignored by mainstream media. “The Foodening” is her 59-minute masterclass that exposes the most cynical business model in history: a partnership between Big Food and Big Pharma designed to ensure you stay sick so they both stay rich.
In this eye-opening video, you’ll discover the shocking reality behind a devious closed-loop system, starting with the historical events that corrupted our food supply:
- From Foxholes to Your Freezer: Discover how wartime industrialization and the push for canned, shelf-stable goods created a post-war surplus that was aggressively marketed to the booming middle class, transforming simple food into modern ultra-processed products.
- The PR Blueprint: Learn how the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, weaponized psychology — from making housewives feel guilty about instant cake mix to selling women on smoking — creating the exact blueprint used today to market your food.
- Industrial Waste as “Progress”: See how industrial waste products, such as fluoride and the chemicals used to create Teflon, were repackaged and sold as “convenience” or “health” solutions, successfully convincing generations to abandon durable, traditional cookware like cast iron.
- The $50,000 Lie: Find out who paid Harvard researchers in the 1960s to promote the Ancel Keys “fat-is-bad” myth, paving the way for the seed oil revolution (Crisco) and the high-sugar, low-fat era.
- Regulators or Facilitators? Examine the influence of corporate-funded non-profits (like the International Life Sciences Institute) and the revolving door of former industry lawyers (like Michael Taylor) who helped shape FDA and GMO policy, prioritizing corporate profit over independent science.
- The Ultimate Conflict of Interest (The Loop): Witness the direct financial overlap: companies like Nestlé and PepsiCo pay millions to health organizations that also invest heavily in drug companies like Novo Nordisk (maker of popular weight-loss drugs). It’s a system designed to fund both the problem and the cure.
- The Global Two-Tier System: Learn why American cereals still contain BHT (a preservative tied to cancer risks and banned in Europe) and other dyes, while the same multinational brands sell safer versions overseas. The difference? Europe follows the “precautionary principle,” and the U.S. lets industry police itself.
- The Literal Brain Drain: Discover how additives like MSG (often labeled as “natural flavorings”) are classified as excitotoxins that accumulate over time, potentially leading to neurological damage linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
- The Architects of Poison: See how the Big Three investment titans — BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street — are top shareholders in both the food giants that poison you and the drug companies that profit off your sickness. It’s not a theory; it’s a $22 trillion business model.
- The Hegelian Hustle: Understand the three-step philosophy turned billion-dollar loop: Create the problem (cheap, hyper-palatable junk), spark the reaction (chronic illness), and sell the solution (expensive, patented medicine).
- The Trauma Connection: Understand the role of emotional and psychological states, especially childhood trauma, in creating the cravings and food addiction that keep people hooked on hyper-palatable processed food.
This is not a conspiracy theory; it’s a conflict of interest so vast it controls everything from your grocery store shelves to your healthcare costs.
And it’s just one of the many ways the wealthy elites of the world exploit you and your loved ones for profit.
Before you dive in
A quick note on the video’s creator, Probably Alexandra: While the data and historical connections presented in her video are rigorously researched and sourced, Alexandra views the world and her investigations through the lens of her Christian faith. She approaches topics of corporate ethics, systemic deception, and consumer health with a framework rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
That said, if you’ve been searching for a breakdown of the cynical Big Food/Big Pharma loop with a moral perspective that points back to fundamental values of human well-being, this 59-minute investigation will resonate deeply.
And now, without further ado . . . get ready to question everything you thought you knew about what’s on your plate!
Watch “The Foodening” now
I promise, you won’t look at your next snack or prescription medicine the same way again.
Wow. Did you ever imagine the system was so corrupt?
Sadly, this appears to be just one of many unfathomable crimes being committed against us.

We’re still on a farm and yes, we grow much of what we eat and have been pesticide-free for decades. But that alone won’t keep us healthy. We live in a terrible state (California) with high crime, over-regulation, an impossible cost of living and a minimum wage that is bankrupting many farmers whose crops still only fetch prices we got 40 years ago. Getting Americans back to a healthy way of life will take decades.
That’s a powerful perspective, and thank you for sharing your experience as a farmer — especially one who has been pesticide-free for decades. You hit on a crucial point: individual health is tied to the health of the system. You are absolutely right that high crime, extreme regulation, and the economic pressures you described (like stagnant crop prices) make it incredibly difficult for people to make healthy choices. It’s a huge systemic problem. Getting back to a healthy way of life will take time, but the fact that people like you are still doing the hard work on the farm gives me hope. Keep fighting the good fight!
Love your blogs, Rob!! You are no-holds-barred and dead-on with how things really are. My grandfather lived to be 95, eating foods he raised himself on his farm, and was still fox hunting at 92. Eating naturally. And his demise at 95 was from complications of a broken hip, having CLIMBED INTO A GARBAGE CAN TO STOMP DOWN THE GARBAGE AND TIPPED OVER!! How many 95 year olds you know these days that can even begin to attempt that? And oh yeah, chawed tobaccy like it was going out of style.
Wow, what an incredible story about your grandfather! That image of him climbing into a garbage can at 95 is priceless — it really illustrates the kind of vigor and resilience that comes from a life of eating real, farm-raised food (and apparently a little tobacco!). You’re absolutely right; you just don’t see that kind of durability today. Thanks so much for sharing that dead-on example. He sounds like a legend.
