Good evening, Stackers.

While working on a nutrition research project tonight, I came across a quote that I felt the need to share:

"Whoever controls the protein controls the people.

In the Roman Empire times, whenever there was civil unrest, [the royal class] would hold 'celebrations of bread'. The people would be loaded up with carbs, it made them fat and happy, and the civil unrest would settle down.

Politics, food, and control of the people have been interlinked for as long as we've had politics. And currently, we're seeing a huge push away from animal-based food sources, and toward plants.

When you move down that pathway, no matter what the rhetoric, a plant-based diet is going to be incomplete of the nutrients required for life. And in the process of that, you're controlling the people, because you're controlling their protein. You can call it conspiratorial if you want...but it's happened forever."

—Dr. Gary Fettke

This inspired my question of the evening for you all:

In which area is sovereignty most important - food, money, or communication...and why?
