Fixing the Food System to Save Lives: How Nutrition Could End Violence, Illness, and Injustice

What if school shootings, prison violence, and mental health breakdowns are linked to what’s on our lunch trays?

In this provocative episode of Solving America’s Problems, Zen Honeycutt returns to expose how glyphosate, synthetic additives, and even veterinary drugs in school lunches and fast food may be driving the nation's violence and chronic disease epidemics.

From reversing aggressive behavior with organic beans to reducing prison recidivism through nutrition programs, Zen lays out a radical but evidence-based argument: food isn’t just a health issue—it’s a national security issue.

This episode flips the food conversation on its head and shows how regenerative organic farming and nutrition reform could save not just lives—but the soul of a nation.

Key takeaways:

  • How gut health directly impacts mood, aggression, and impulse control
  • The hidden dangers of government food policy loopholes
  • A powerful case study of behavioral change through diet
  • What regenerative farming can do for health, climate, and justice
  • A clear call to action to support real reform through Moms Across America
