Hello! I'd like to introduce BigFatMyths on Steemit
Hi everybody, I'm really excited to be here and thought I would introduce myself.
My name is Jon and I'm a paleo, crypto, budding anarchist, truth seeker living in a very secluded valley in the mountains of Vermont...with no cell service. It's rural.
When I looked at other introductory posts I noticed a lot people included pictures of their pets. Since I don't have pets at this time I thought I would post a picture of a frequent visitor to my yard. Meet Phil the groundhog.
Like Bigfoot and UFO's, pictures of Phil tend to be a little blurry. He moves fast. Most people don't think he exists but I was lucky enough to capture him on camera this morning. Like a fly trapped in amber, he's now forever on the blockchain.
So getting back to the intro, I own a small media business that I run from home. I do digital and print design, websites and music and event promotion. I tend to work mostly with artists, musicians, and solo entrepreneurs like me since that's what I know best.
I've been doing this in one form or another for about 20 yrs. and really felt it was time to leave the comfort zone, learn some new things, and do what has been gnawing at me since about 2012. That is to pursue a project to expose some of the lesser known lies, myths, and revisionist BS that surrounds us 24 hrs/day from cradle to grave. You'd be amazed at how much of what we take for granted is actually total BS even when you think you're already clued in, like I did.
Big Fat Myths started out as an idea for a book about food myths that keep us fat, sick and over medicated. As I dug into it I realized there's literally no end to the deception and the book turned into a much bigger project covering food, medicine, politics, education, climate, and on and on. Everything is connected.
A blog would be better than a book, and interviews will provide more insight than an article in most cases. Not only would this new venture mean that I'd now need to use words instead of pictures to communicate, but I would have to talk on camera sometimes(!) Big steps but I'm looking forward to it.
I'll try to have fun while offering some well researched posts & video interviews for all those interested in the busting of myths. I'll do my best to inform!
Thanks for reading.
Jon
