    And the very end ā€œcivilised man is the only animal smart enough to make its own food, and the only one stupid enough to eat itā€

    Iā€™m pretty sure there are animal that eat our rubbish. Thereā€™s a lot of our manufactured ā€œfoodā€ in the rubbish supply.

      Yeah, I think that is why the gold standard for high quality ASF are ruminant animals, who donā€™t eat human rubbish.

      Pigs, a mono gastric, have more omega-6s then would be idealā€¦ And pigs are often kept on a farm as a sort of garbage disposal - they will eat anything!

        Yeah I donā€™t like the taste of pork anymore. I wonder if Iā€™d like the same meat from wild boars

    At about 47 minutes: Brain size in vegans would have to be scary for them. I wonder if it is a cause of the bad behaviour of vegans online. Do they behave badly because they are sick?

      Iā€™ve seen that theory before, something with missing nutrition causing elevated stressors. Iā€™m not sure how credible it is, but I know Iā€™m very calm after a good meal.

        A popular phrase on /r/zerocarb is ā€œcarni coolā€. People notice how their mood is stabilised after a while on meat.

        I wouldnā€™t be surprised if it was the opposite for people moving in the opposite direction from the omnivorous middle road

    One of the things Dr Barry Groves promotes is getting flouride out of the water supply. Thatā€™s one that I worry about. The flouride is there to protect teeth, but teeth are fine when you donā€™t eat sugar or bread, so I donā€™t think the upside of flouride is useful for us, leaving only whatever the downside is.

    Not the most rigorous lecture, but its well presented, and it is cited by current researchers as one of their influences.

    The discussion of the cecum/apendix is quite compelling, as well as brain shrinkage. (We are still getting more research on this even today).

    The bit about religious texts probably doesnā€™t land as well today, but it is good storytelling.

      I thought I lost this video!! Iā€™ve been looking for it forever but couldnā€™t remember the doctorā€™s name. This was the video that made me open to carnivore and ultimately got me to start. Thank you so much!
