Discernment in the Kitchen: Ditching Processed Lies for Christ-Centered, Nutrient-Dense Food

The U.S. government once pushed margarine, trans fats, and a carb-heavy Food Pyramid while demonizing real fats like butter and lard—now we see the fallout in skyrocketing diabetes and heart disease. They’re too cozy with Big Pharma and Big Food. That’s why the food I make for En-Joy Ministries’ Cooking for Christ—using pure leaf lard from our farm—has true healing properties. Rich in Vitamin D, oleic acid, and choline, it nourishes body and soul. Time to rethink what ‘healthy’ really means.

Empowering Health: Advocating OTC Ivermectin in PA

As a Pennsylvania resident, I strongly urge your support for legislation to permit over-the-counter (OTC) access to ivermectin, emulating recent laws in Arkansas (SB 189, 2025) and Tennessee (SB 2188, 2022). Ivermectin’s proven safety, efficacy, and affordability—demonstrated by decades of global use and a 2015 Nobel Prize—make it a vital tool for health autonomy. This measure would reduce healthcare costs and improve access. By ensuring pharmacist consultation, OTC access would provide safe, regulated use, empowering residents to manage their health responsibly while minimizing reliance on overburdened systems.

Impact of FDA Antibiotic Policy on Small Farmers

As a small homestead farmer in Pennsylvania, I am deeply concerned about the FDA’s ban on over-the-counter livestock antibiotics, effective June 2023. This policy creates significant challenges, including difficulty finding veterinarians and rising costs, threatening sustainable farming. I urge Senator McCormick and our Representatives to pursue legislative exemptions or alternative pathways to restore access for small farmers. The government must stop overreaching into our homes, farms, and private lives. In this Constitutional Republic, we—the American citizenry, farmers, and business owners—should direct policy, not bureaucrats. It’s time to return to the principles our nation was founded upon.
