Are alternative health voices being censored? That’s what we look at today in this special JIMMY RANTS on The LLVLC Show Episode 1638.

“Who gets to determine what speech gets protected and what gets silenced? This is a very real concern.”

– Jimmy Moore

As we enter another month of quarantine due to Covid-19, more and more information is coming out from alternative voices as to the best course of action to fight this disease. But are all voices being heard? Nutrition has long been a topic where alternative voices are needed to fight against the official stances on things like obesity and food related illnesses. Why are those same voices being silenced over this?

Listen in today as Jimmy explores what is going on with the apparent silencing of voices that question the official narrative and who might disagree with groups such as the World Health Organization and the information they are putting out there. Is something going on here? You be the judge.

“If they can say that saturated fat is not a nutrient of concern, this will be the actual game changer, not the vegan propaganda film.”

– Jimmy Moore

Every few years here in the United States, the USDA publishes their new recommendations about the kinds of food we should be eating. You might think this is a good thing, having a government entity looking out for us and helping to steer the population in the right direction when it comes to food. But as we’ve seen so many times before, the mountain of evidence that proves that a low-carb high-fat diet is optimum human nutrition is completely ignored in favor of other interests.

Listen in today as Jimmy takes apart the science that is being overlooked and what the 2020 guidelines are likely to show.
