As many of you know, we produced a documentary film through the nonprofit PlantPure Communities called, From Food to Freedom. This film tells the story of a live-in immersion program in Greensboro, NC with six participants (joined by two spouses) suffering with type 2 diabetes. As we go through the immersion, we hear from participants about their past health struggles and watch as they suddenly change their diet from an animal-based, processed food diet to a whole food plant-based diet, which creates the opportunity for digressions into the topics of nutrition, chronic disease, immunity, and the Covid pandemic.
Thanks for the reference Tracy. I am not surprised by what you are suggesting. I have not studied Zuckerberg much over the years, but it's not surprising that he would think he could heal a human like you build software code.
It’s disturbing to hear that FB is suppressing the movie. I remember recently googling PCRM and was shocked at the search results. If I didn’t know better I would have come away with very negative impressions.
This leads me to wonder if there is some level of systematic suppression of the plant-based message, built into the algorithms these tech platforms use.
Are you aware of other organizations in the plant-based world whose promotional efforts are being suppressed by FB? If we could gather evidence that shows systematic suppression of the voices of those advocating for whole food plant-based nutrition, we could share that with journalists interested in protecting free speech - for example, the folks who just won the Dao Prize for Investigative Journalism. https://open.substack.com/pub/bariweiss/p/the-free-press-wins-dao-prize
Thanks for your comment. I have been so wrapped up in our own struggles this past year I have not really investigated this issue beyond our own experiences. I am intrigued by the reference you shared regarding the Dao Prize and will check it out. Thanks for sharing.
Check out Andrew Huberman on YouTube where he interviewed Zuckerberg and his wife. Didn't watch most of it but I got the jist of it. The Zuckerberg's want to fix all human diseases through a combination of engineering and medicine (she is a MD). So money is behind the suppression. I'm sure it is an old song to you.

Currently, anything against Big Pharma is flagged. Truly shocking time we live in. So much for "freedom", huh?
The silver lining is now my conspiracy theorist friends can't say the "bad guys" are promoting veganism (at least not the healthiest type).

I can imagine and wish there was something I could do to help.
What else can I do to help?
