The following (italicized words) is a quote about Mike Adams book Food Forensics (2016) on the Amazon site.
Award-winning investigative journalist and clean food activist Mike Adams, the ‘Health Ranger,’ is founder and editor of Natural News, one of the top health news websites in the world, reaching millions of readers each month. Now, in Food Forensics, Adams meticulously tests groceries, fast foods, dietary supplements, spices, and protein powders for heavy metals and toxic elements that could be jeopardizing your health.
To conduct this extensive research, Adams built a state-of-the-art laboratory with cutting-edge scientific instruments. Publishing results of metal concentrations for more than 800 different foods, Food Forensics is doing the job the FDA refuses to do: testing off-the-shelf foods and sharing the findings so the public can make informed decisions about what they consume or avoid.
In Food Forensics, you’ll discover little-known truths about other toxic food ingredients such as polysorbate 80, MSG, sodium nitrite, pesticides, and weed killers such as glyphosate. Adams reveals stunning, never-before-reported details of heavy metals found in recycled human waste used on crops and in parks, and he explains how industrial pollution causes mercury, lead, and cadmium to end up in your favorite protein powders.
This book will forever change your view of food safety, regulation, and manufacturing. When you know what’s really in your food, you can start making changes to protect yourself against serious diseases like cancer, all while maximizing your natural immune defenses against infection and disease.
Now, eight years after the publication of Food Forensics, Adams broadcasts the below podcast on Brighteon 11/11/24 titled “Trump’s Victory Signifies a Psychological Shift in America from the Nurturing Female Archetype to the Warrior Male Archetype.” His quote introducing the podcast is in italics:
After having gone too far in the realm of forgiving everything, surrendering to invaders and tolerating perversion and transgenderism, America is now strongly pivoting into a male archetype energy. The male energy, signified by Trump and his team, is the energy of battling invaders, retribution against traitors and righteousness rather than blanket forgiveness. Understanding this shift will help you navigate the historic shift now under way. I cover this in great detail in today’s broadcast. Find the podcast here. Treat it as a unique radio show given its two-hour length. But after just a few minutes listening you’ll be hooked.

I’ve been researching and writing about symbolism and media for many years and this shift affirms what I’ve argued in my writings such as my book Battle of Symbols: Global Dynamics of Advertising, Entertainment and Media (Daimon Verlag, Zurich, 2003). I discuss the grand global, cyclical dynamics of Masculine in opposition (a constant “Battle”) with Feminine archetypes.
So, it is not as if Adams is the only one that has seen this shift coming. I’ve certainly written much about it over the years. As well as Howe & Strauss in their well-known The Fourth Turning. Or for that matter, the Foundation for the Study of Cycles (FSC). My late friend Richard Mogey who served as President of the FSC for several years. An amazing group of people that see things ahead of anyone I know.
I haven’t read the book Food Forensics or listened to the podcast “Trump’s Victory Signifies a Psychological Shift in America from the Nurturing Female Archetype to the Warrior Male Archetype.”

Yet a thought occurs I’ll share with you. A rather wild thought. Yet one that seems to logically flow between Adams’ book and his podcast 8 years later.
When Adams wrote Food Forensics, he was a scientist observing and documenting changes in America’s food habits. Now, 8 years lates, he is a psychologist and symbologist.
From reading the two blurbs above, a connection between food and gender might be advanced. In effect, has America’s food played a part in making America’s population more feminine? Has it moved the nation towards the feminine archetype in the past years? Obviously, a big question. Again, I don’t know Adams’ take on all of this from his above podcast. Just putting 2+2 together from the above.
Perhaps a question for RFK, Jr.? Or, whoever becomes our Food Czar in the new administration. Perhaps one of the their first questions?
