German connected his mental-health work to nutrition, describing his observation that nutritional status correlated with regulation, resilience, engagement with care, and overall capacity while expressly distinguishing observation from proof of causation. He cited research concerning historical declines in selected nutrients, including iron and zinc, and evidence linking nutritional deficiencies with cognitive and psychological outcomes. He used grass-finished beef to illustrate how production methods can alter nutrient density, then discussed structural vulnerability created by concentration in food processing and retail, including the 2020 Alberta beef-processing disruption. He argued that anticipated food insecurity can destabilize the nervous system and proposed strengthening parallel local food economies that reward nutrient density, freshness, diversity, smaller producers, local processing, and redundancy alongside large-scale agriculture.
