Most people see milk as a harmless part of a balanced diet—Ryan Griggs sees it as a symbol of how far we’ve strayed from real nutrition, transparency, and truth in the food industry. From the overlooked risks in how milk is processed to the deeper story of personal loss and emotional resilience, Ryan’s journey isn’t just about health—it’s about confronting systems that fail us and healing from pain that tries to define us.
