Monday we talked about vegetables across three diets. Wednesday we covered what they do for blood sugar, gut health, and disease prevention. Here’s what I didn’t mention — I can watch all of it happen in real time. The FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sits on the back of my arm and sends my glucose readings to my phone every minute. No scanning. No fingersticks. Just a quiet number on my screen telling me exactly how my body is responding to what I just ate. I had a chef’s salad for lunch last week. Glucose barely moved. Then I had a hamburger two days later. Different story entirely. That’s not a diet lecture. That’s just data. The kind a farmer appreciates — real, immediate, and honest. The best technology doesn’t tell you what to do. It shows you what’s happening and lets you decide.

These are observations from one retired dirt farmer — not prescriptions. William questions everything, including his own opinions. Curiosity and humility over authority and certainty. The reader is always the final decision-maker.
