He’s made millions by telling people to eat less meat, pay fair taxes, and call out supermarket markups. His secret?

Nicholas Coleman+FollowWhy Your Groceries Might Cost More SoonEver wonder why your grocery bill keeps creeping up? Here’s the scoop: American farms are shrinking fast, and farmers are having a tough time making ends meet. Fewer family farms mean more big companies buying up land, and that can hit your wallet and your community. Next time you grab milk or bread, remember—supporting local farmers keeps your food fresh and your neighborhood strong! #Business #Industry #FoodForThought3213Share
awaters+FollowWhy Your Bread Might Cost More SoonHeads up: Iraq just had a rough year for wheat, thanks to low rainfall and upstream neighbors hogging the water. That means less wheat for bread and pasta, and prices could rise everywhere. The drama? Countries are building big dams, leaving folks downstream dry—literally. It’s a reminder that what happens to farmers far away can hit your grocery bill. Time to appreciate every slice of toast! #Business #Industry #FoodForThought76Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowWhy Your Groceries Might Cost More SoonHeads up: The USDA just dropped a rule that stops considering race and gender for farm aid, which could hit Black farmers hard. That means fewer grants and less support for the folks growing food in underserved communities. If you’ve noticed fresh produce getting pricier or harder to find, this could be why. Farmers say these changes make it even tougher to keep food on our tables, especially in areas already struggling with food deserts. #Business #Industry #FoodForThought149Share
Vincent Perry+FollowWhat’s Really Behind Your Supermarket Eggs?Ever wondered what happens to hens after their egg-laying days are over? A secret video just revealed that even free-range and organic hens are gassed with CO2 once they’re “spent,” and the footage is pretty hard to watch. This is standard practice, not a one-off. If you’re an animal lover or just want to shop more consciously, it might be time to double-check those egg and chicken labels—or consider plant-based swaps for your next grocery run. #EggIndustry #AnimalWelfare #FoodForThought #Business00Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowIs Eating Local Really Greener?Ever felt smug buying pricey local veggies at the farmers market? Turns out, food miles are a tiny slice of your meal’s carbon footprint—what you eat matters way more than where it’s from. Swapping beef for chicken cuts more emissions than going all-local. Plus, local doesn’t always mean better for workers or your wallet, and sometimes those greenhouse-grown tomatoes are climate villains in disguise. Want to help the planet? Focus on less meat, less waste, and a balanced diet—not just the zip code on your lettuce. #FoodForThought #SustainableLiving #ClimateHacks #Business20Share
Vincent Perry+FollowVietnam Goes Big on US Farm GoodsHeads up, grocery shoppers: Vietnam just inked deals to buy $2 billion in American farm products—think corn, wheat, and soybeans. Why? They’re trying to keep US tariffs at bay and smooth things over with Uncle Sam. If the tariffs kick in, your favorite Vietnamese coffee or snacks could get pricier. For now, it’s a win-win: more US farm exports, and Vietnam keeps its shelves stocked (and prices stable). #TradeTalk #FoodForThought #GlobalMarkets #Business90Share
Brooke Martin+FollowBananas Might Go Extinct?! 🍌Here’s a wild one for your coffee break: Bananas—the go-to snack for millions—could be in real trouble. Most of the bananas we eat are the Cavendish kind, and they’re super picky about weather. With the planet heating up and storms getting nastier, these bananas are getting wiped out by disease and bad weather. Imagine a world where your morning smoothie is banana-free! If you want to help, try buying local or supporting brands that use 'ugly' fruit. Every little bit counts! #BananaCrisis #FoodForThought #ClimateImpact #Business85Share
awaters+FollowWhy Russian Farmers Are Hitting PauseDid you hear Russia’s biggest tractor company is putting the brakes on production? Turns out, farmers just can’t afford new gear right now—imagine trying to upgrade your kitchen but every appliance is double the price and your paycheck just shrank. With loans at sky-high rates and costs for fuel and fertilizer climbing, even the pros are saying farming isn’t worth it. The result? Less food, more stress, and a lot of workers on forced vacation. Tough times for anyone who eats! #MoneyTalks #FarmLife #GlobalEconomy #FoodForThought #Business237Share
Eric White+FollowWait, Why Did My Groceries Cost More Than My Friend’s?!Just left the supermarket and I’m honestly baffled. My neighbor told me she got a crazy deal on the same coffee I just bought—like, a whole $2 less. Turns out, the store is now customizing prices for each shopper based on what they think we’ll pay. I get it, tech is everywhere, but it feels weird knowing my loyalty card could be working against me. It’s not just about finding deals anymore, it’s about figuring out if I’m being charged more just because I shop there often. Makes me wonder if I should start shopping around or just ditch the loyalty programs altogether. Grocery shopping shouldn’t feel like a game of who gets the best price, right? #SupermarketDrama #PersonalizedPricing #GroceryShopping #RetailTech #FoodForThought #Food92Share
