There's also so much money in the chain between a farm full of wheat to a box of highly processed "food", compared to the simple path of meat varying from cheapest self harvested, self butchered, self stored through to using a professional butcher who buys from a meat packing plant through to the most expensive - supermarket meat
Money plus religion versus reality
Though of course pro meat people are still being deleted from wikipeida
And the lies about beef being bad for the environment have traction
And of course the opposition is an organised religious group, and we're not.
This has me thinking. I wonder if it's the case because they're working with otherwise healthy people who are willing to try anything to get better, and there are many sports where operating in ketosis gives better performance.
Also they're not as targeted by advertisers on the anti meat, anti fat side
Thanks for this! I have been thinking about fried prawns (shrimp if you speak the other English), and the sticking point has been sauce. I bet this will work well as bacon goes so well with most seafood
They think people are there to read the memes. They don't believe that "the real ____ is in the comments"
Yeah I don't like the taste of pork anymore. I wonder if I'd like the same meat from wild boars
I guess I don't follow all that many of them, I have seen cardiac specialists, GPs, molecular biologists, endocrinologists
One of my favourite youtube channels is Low Carb Downunder which is videos almost entirely from conferences where many different sorts of researchers present their research on LCHF diets.
Recent videos include Dr Paul Mason on concussion, Dr Sanjeev Balakrisnan on mental health, Dr Louise Phillips on helping GPs prescribe low carb, and Dr Hasthi Dissanyake and Timothy Trugen (Trugen presenting Dissanyake's work) on traditional diets for northern Australian indigenous people
I reckon you can safely skip to page 104 after reading the introduction. The first hundred-odd pages are his pre-germ theory model of tuberculosis which is basically:
- Eat too much of fermentable foods (as opposed to meat and grains, with grains good as they are easy to digest to sugars)
- Get overloaded with yeast and the products of fermentation
- Die of consumption
Apparently the yeast promoting foods hurried death for tuberculosis patients
A popular phrase on /r/zerocarb is "carni cool". People notice how their mood is stabilised after a while on meat.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the opposite for people moving in the opposite direction from the omnivorous middle road
And the very end "civilised man is the only animal smart enough to make its own food, and the only one stupid enough to eat it"
I'm pretty sure there are animal that eat our rubbish. There's a lot of our manufactured "food" in the rubbish supply.
You need to live to ~20, call it 45 to raise several children (you need probably 3 surviving ones per couple in an ice age) and the only food option is the animals that can eat the plants below the ice
You need to be able to live on meat your whole life or your line dies out when the cold comes, you need to be able to live on meat all winter in interglacials because no plants that we can eat are available
