Ya i was in a critical care unit for my dad in the middle of April, he had a heart attack back in March and didn't know it, but his choices of "food" were alot, but pudding, mixed fruit, pancakes, cereal, and some other garbage. Me and my brother were allowed to pick out his meal for him, so bacon and eggs i got him, and he ate it all, lol but problem is his heart was to damaged, and they took him off the heart pump a week after i left, went to hospice and died 3hrs later after i talked with him on the phone! These people irritate me to no end with their lack of understanding of nutrition, they even had a nutritionist in the room when i was there go over what was "best" for him. Seriously!? If you dont take care of yourself and do your homework your going to end up like your loved ones, at the hands of these morons that should not have jobs in those fields.

[@Jimdandy1958]

Let me correct this silliness with some real life experience. I am neither a vegan or a carnivore however i was raised a mid-west farmer and have myself driven the harvester while combining wheat, soybeans and picking corn. This story about a "bloodbath" and "1000 animals per acre" reminds me of something else i learned to recognize on the farm.... MALE COW MANURE.... to put it politely. First of all when you harvest wheat you only harvest the heads of wheat a couple of feet off the ground. You leave behind stubble that nowadays is usually left and another no till crop is planted in that stubble. Harvesting soybeans is a different story. They get cut to the ground. and the chaff is blown out and distributed behind the machine like fodder. As you combine you will indeed see rabbits moving around to avoid the machine. Running into uncut field or running and hiding in the fodder left behind. Corn harvesters don't even have the type of head on them to catch and kill an animal. I guess if it was deaf and blind you could technically kill something. Now I'm not a fan of the hybrid high gluten wheat we now consume that is sprayed with glyphosate to reduce moisture and I am not a fan of soy products either and we all know the bad effects of high fructose corn syrup as well.. but this picture being painted of this wholesale slaughter of animals at the last acre of every field is pure fiction. Yes i will see animals run out during the last part of the field to other cover but the idea of a 100 acres worth of animals just standing still and not taking flight while a harvester just grinds them up is pure stupidity. Animals have fight or flight responses and that certainly does not get turned off in the last acre of a field. Bottom line is this. Some people thrive on a vegetable diet and some thrive on an animal diet and some thrive on both types of food. I am 66 and run a 5k at least once a week. I like a balanced diet of both. I have no blood pressure or sugar issues and take no meds. It's a combination of genetics and environment including diet. There is no one answer except that there is no one answer. Do what works for you.

[@Iamam313]

I'm an ecologist and there is no doubt agriculture has obliterated wildlife...even if the bloodbath is "fiction" the truth is monocultures are indeed destroying our planet and have caused this 6th extinction. If we had pasture animals and mainly ate that we wouldn't be on our way to becoming extinct ourselves (and the rest of the animals on the planet we've driven to extinction)

[@ProsperingWoman]

I appreciated this video, but as an old woman now who drove a combine for years never was there a trail of blood. The rabbits, pheasants, moles and mice that were in the fields did not run themselves into a corner, they would run to the right or left, and as soon as the combine went by they would race back to their holes. I live on the prairie in South Dakota and the land is teaming with life.

[@johnunderwood9575]

You misunderstand the purpose of regenerative farming. It is primarily to restore the now depleted , once bio-active soil. The only reason you can grow anything at all on most large corporate parcels of farmland is that they are fertilizing the soil with petroleum based fertilizers. They are using pesticides to control the pests. Or creating GMO plants that are pest resistant. (in addition to, not either or) Almost every fruit and vegetable in you're produce department did not exist 100 years ago. Nutrient and mineral density in all of them are a fraction of what they once where. Virtually all fruits and vegetables today are "Frankenfood". They are anything but natural. They are however, the most profitable food products to bring to market. So bring them to market they will, no matter the long term consequences.

[@almeidareis]

It is good not to generalise... I am vegan and I did not become vegan because of anyone, and when I tried to go vegan because of animals I still couldn't do it. I became vegan because meat was causing me a lot of inflammation. So no meat is not necessarily good for you. I don't graze all day and can easily do IF. And I do want to add that you don't have to feel pressured to have any specific diet. Eat what your body needs. If you need to ho back and forth than do it. If we leaved in the while our diet would be according to what is available. Also keep in mind people are different... Do what works for you but either way it is a must to eat healthy and nutritious foods instead of wasting your meals on unhealthy things that are barely food. Doing a vegan diet requires a good knowledge of nutrients so you do it correctly. It is not about being vegan or not it is about conscious eating. And even meat eaters get nutritional deficiencies. Plus who knows if when hou stopped eating meat your body could finally start working on issues in your body and you finally noticed the problems? There is a lot of questions. Plus it is important to look back onto the diet of your ancestors and dna to see what works for you. All in all eat healthy and nutritious foods and be conscious to hear what your body is telling you and what it needs.

[@toni4729]

Does that mean you can't eat fish, eggs, butter, lard, and all other animal products as well? Somehow I get the feeling you're imagination is getting the better of you.

What other supplements do you take? You have me really intrigued.

I would like to know how long you've been vegan. People forget that our brain is animal fat 60% and cholesterol 20% neither of which is found in vegetables. Yes our body makes some cholesterol but not enough to sustain our entire bodily functions. Veganism has only been around for about sixty years and, needless to say no human has survived on a vegan diet their entire life. It's impossible. There's too much missing from the diet. It's not just b12 and k2. Most people give it up after a few years. Most of the (so-called) vegan doctors have either, died off or crawled away into the woodwork. There aren't many left praising the subject. I wish you the best, but remember your brain, don't starve it. Cholesterol is required throughout your entire system. Check it out, a lot of lies have been told about cholesterol.

I find it painfully difficult to believe that people can become seriously sensitive to meat, the very thing we're made of. But if you believe that it's your problem. I do know about the chemicals in vegetables that are bad news and they're not in meat. At least, the majority of them would be filtered out of the animal long before they're chopped up. I'm not talking about the herbicides, fungicides and pesticides etc. that are dumped onto the soils and plants by people but of course they are really dangerous and are fed to animals as well. I'm talking about the ones that are the defence mechanisms in the plants. Plants cant run away, so they have their own defences and they are nasty. Gradually they make people sicker and sicker. This I learned about over forty years ago. So you see, we both have our villains.

Somewhere along the way people became disconnected from the planet, from nature. People look at nature as though it is something outside of themselves, rather than a system within which we are a part. We are not separate from animals. We are not Human/animals, we are Human animals. We are one of the many species of animal life on Earth. We are not in addition to animals, we are one of the animals. As we moved away from an agrarian life, away from farms, away from livestock, people lost touch with the circle of life understanding. Suddenly, meat came from Safeway, not the slaughterhouse or the chickencoop or the barn. This is an undeniable fact. Life feeds on life. Death is a transition, not an ending. That a cow will become food for Humans, is not shameful, it is honorable. It is not an injustice. It is a reflection of beauty in life, that life begats life is a beautiful thing, not a shameful thing. Processed foods exist for one reason, because it is the food that is most profitable to bring to market. Humans are not meant to consume plants, our bodies are not designed to handle the cellulose or the toxins that exist in all plants. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat herbivores. Insects for the most part support healthy soil. That is the cycle of life. It is not ugly, it is beautiful. It is natural. It is our wonderful beautiful planet Earth.

These days i´v been eating "normally", right now is 12.20 midday in my country, i just got out of bed despite "sleeping" like 12 hours straight, my back hurts, my belly hurts, my head hurts and feels lethargic, sleepy, my mouth has an horrible taste from reflux, and i could go on ... that was my life since teenager with "normal" and "healthy diet", my body was broke all the time. Mentally obviously i was a train wreck, no discipline, no willpower, zero motivation, always angry, scared, submerged in despair, just surviving. One of my biggest mistakes in life, if not the biggest, was to blindly trust in doctors and nutritionists. As keto (mostly carnivore) i generally wake up at 6 or 7 am without alarm clock, head fully clear (between 8 and 7 hours of sleep), body without pain, perfect stomach.... again, i could go on writing about my improvements forever.

How did you get started? I don't know where to start

[@gracevandenbergen]

Carnivore/ketovore for approx 9 months. Just had an extremely stressful month dealing with a sudden death, and it completely screwed up my appetite and gut (which is normal in grief). In that time, we were too tired to cook and did a lot of take out and friends were bringing over food that was very carb heavy. Now trying to slowly go back to my regular carnivore diet as my gut starts to be able to digest again. Life happens. Things will get in the way. Just shake it off and get back on the horse.

"Biotic cleansing" she's spot on. Years ago, I had no idea, I wanted to work for a company that invented a new method to "clean the fields"! For me it sounded awesome. The main method was by sterilizing the soil with steam! Yep, the term was "sterilizing". I didn't knew better, so it sounded fantastic. Little did I know that's absolutely crazy. It's sheer murder not just the Biome, but the planet itself! I did plant many of my own stuff, on my backyard garden. And later even got a piece of land to make a small veggie farm. Now I'm carnivore... LOL 🙂 BTW that's the best thing I've ever did for myself. Never felt better in my entire life! And that was somehow surprising for me! Because I was always very active, exercised, eat my veggies, etc. etc. I call carnivore a MIRACLE. Be aware that I didn't forget the caps lock ON. Yes, I use capital letter for it! 🙂

I use a no dig method of growing my own food, and replant in series so that there is always a root in the ground. My allotment neighbours dig their whole plot every single year because that's what they've always done. I also use electroculture which seems to draw down nutrients and electromagnetic protection to the plants and I get amazing abundance. I eat as seasonally as I can, which involves more meat in winter and less in summer. I think honouring the seasons is key, also eating local, and listening to the body.

[@BaconOfHealth]

1:04:13 You say meat is kind of like medicine. I prefer to say meat is food, and plants are medicine. The reason is that meat is just nutrition that fits our bodies, while plants have chemicals that have effects. Meat does not throw you off in a symptomatic direction, while plants can and do, which is and was relied upon for medicinal purposes for ages. Meat is not medicine. Meat lets the body regulate itself towards homeostasis, while plants cause disturbances to our bodies, sometimes desirable sometimes not.

[@RaceLever]

Eating Animals has been linked to most of the top human killing diseases so your "meat doesn't throw you in a symptomatic direction" claim is going to be very difficult for you to back up properly...

That is a very atheistic/humanistic ideology that leads to infanticide and geriatricide. It also leads to things like disabled people get “put down” so they aren’t a drain on the system. Permits for having children like they did in China for so long! I would encourage folks to check out Gabe Brown in North Dakota who is a regenerative farmer. He grows cash crops, wheat, soy beans, corn etc.. in a regenerative way that doesn’t destroy the soil and ecosystems that depend on the soil! The earth is plenty strong enough to handle the population as long as we get big government and big business out of it and go back to our roots of Whole Foods and regenerative practices!

Her story is a carbon copy of so many of us. Appreciate the discussion and great to see a previous Vegan break thru the mental hold for their health. We became vegan despite not knowing anyone else and we preached it and totally convinced why? Because all the dietary knowledge pointing towards what's healthy ticks the boxes of a vegan diet. Low fat, natural, heaps of veggies and fruits and wholegrain, sugar is fine in a vegan diet too. We grew up on skim milk and porridge and fat free everything and veggie oil based margarine becsuse it was sold to us as healthy not because we liked it or because it was any cheaper. We were sold to us as a healthy diet. Eating a healthy diet has resulted in metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, pains, big tummy, non alcoholic fatty liver and hormonal fertility issues. When we changed from healthy vegetarian homemmade food to low carb, gluten free, sugar free, fruit and vegetable free, grain free, soya free diet focused on animal products that are natural then body can naturally heal and thrive. It's a sobering wake up call of how influenced by so called authorities, educational institutions and media all funded by companies and anyihuman greedy billionaires.

Pretty much, agriculture was forced on many populations due to the ruling classes lording it over the poorer classes, pushing them to grow vegetables and eat more of that (to survive) than meats, as meats were always made more expensive to either purchase or to grow on one's plot of land, if you were even fortunate enough to have a plot of land and one large enough for at least one cow. Ireland is a great example of this, for centuries. They were forced onto potatoes by Britain, who ruled over them. The potato was pretty easy to grow in that climate and didn't need lots of room. Then the crop failed in 1845 until around 1851 and millions died. My autoimmune diseases are related back to my poor Irish ancestors who suffered terrible stresses. Britain forced many of them to grow wheat and barley, and then they were required to give it to England as export to pay their rent or they'd be kicked off their rented land. The poor have always suffered the most when it comes to nutrition and having to survive because of persecution by the noble ruling classes. It's disgusting!

I think people need to figure out what works for them as I think it’s very individual and not everyone will react the same. I think traditional home made non processed straight forward produce will always be healthier than super market foods but finding that level of quality in urban areas at affordable prices is forcing people to use what they can easily access. Really what we eat and how we eat is actually not an easy operation in a modern world when you spend more hours working for someone else then you do on researching what you put in your body, sourcing it and cooking it.

Have the same story as her regarding disease, low quality of life etc; yet, after 40 mos of total grass fed carnivore it's essentially all reversed...2 more yrs and I'll be 30 yrs younger and 110% reversed...its really working!! Appreciated her honesty, intelligence and experience. Currently on a high altitude climb and the indigenous are all specimens with perfect teeth, gorgeous skin and clear eyes, etc etc. Always find this has been the case around indigenous peoples (as both a global, professional climber and as a former special operator with USA military/working deep within the interior). Fantastic interview/discussion, Rina, as usual. Thx. 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🥓 Gratefully, Frank

English are indigenous to England. How is their health?

I would love to listen to a conversation between you and Joseph Everett (YT channel whatI'velearned). His journey and yours are similar, I believe. He began with videos about diet, which morphed to concentration on carnivore. Along the way were videos on agriculture that are different than what we are told by the Agriculture Department of the US. He is an American living in Japan.

Brilliant interview. I’m in the middle of reading Lierres book actually and my mind has been blown all the way through it! I really enjoy hearing her speak and her own personal story. I have Lipoedema and have found low carb to be very beneficial for reducing inflammation and even some weight loss, and I’m currently doing Dr Susan Brights recommendations for high fat carnivore.

I'm trying to listen to this story with all its extremism and it does seem like she is blaming " agriculture" as a long-standing development in human history with mechanized factory farming. I'm 15 minutes into it and I still don't have a clue how using plants as food destroyed her spine. Maybe fundamentalism is a character trait that just gets applied the one thing or another as people go through life with these these extremist views. People who grew up after the Dust Bowl in the US were inculcated in Primary School about crop rotation. Why not leave the last acre or the last 10 acres or 10% of the Acres follow every year and rotate between them. She's saying these creatures will move so they can move from one place to the other as is suitable instead of just damning agriculture

[@jeannovacco5136]

So maintaining an orchard where fruit with seeds is harvested in trees are pruned and sometimes fertilized isn't agriculture?

" The Elves of Lilly Hill Farm " is an interesting take on conscious / aware farmimg Also Purlandia in VA working with nature / animals , leaving a tithe of the land & harvest for our animal brothers & sisters ....

[@gertrudevanvoorden1416]

The soil is depleted and even with rotation what is grown on it does not nearly contain the nutrients it did in earlier times. Chemtrailing further destroys the soil..Monoculture extremely detrimental. Soil formed in millions of years, depleted in a few decades can be healed somewhat but never fully restored Docu Kogi Indians, our Elder brothers. Our planet close to dying.

Don't forget about the bison that would eat and fertilize the prairies. There are some ranchers now who do intensive grazing that is rebuilding the soil.

It's true, Okinawa eat lots of PORK ! Especially pork legs ! I know..I live here for 30 years now!

[@josephinehenry8236]

Great talk! I’m only a month or so into carnivore, feeling good so far but hoping it will ultimately sort this menopause out ! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩

She says things that are blatantly false : that you liver can’t make enough cholesterol so you have to eat it. The cholesterol you eat is almost entirely destroyed in your stomach and doesn’t go into your blood. The liver can make mord cholesterol than you need.

[@pc_6]

Are you vegetarian? Just curious

[@dou40006]

no , i eat plant mostly but fish regularly and meat occasionally

[@Selavi-gq5nx]

If that's so, why do some people have high cholesterol. Shouldn't our liver produce just the right amount? If it was broken in our stomach there would be no issue?

[@dou40006]

@@Selavi-gq5nx The liver makes cholesterol from saturated fat, so if you eat too much saturated fat the liver will make too much cholesterol

Thank you for this amazing interview : this lady is one of the most interesting person I have ever listened to !! I particularly enjoyed the way she explains in a very simple and logic way how everything is intricate and has long term consequences. I was not expecting such a deep insight on the link between agriculture and human civilizations, though. It was extremely interesting to hear how the switch from a hunter-gatherer regimen to an agricultural one could have lead to so many disasters : inadequate food (grain instead of meat) leading to health problems unheard of prior to grain consumption ; increase of population due to more food becoming easily available ; more people = higher needs : expansion wars, conquests and genocides (plunder of other people's resources) ; environmental damages (deforestation, soil depletion, use of chemicals, mass production of poor quality food) ; and ultimately : industrialization, urbanisation, climate change, dependence on external supply... global collapse. It's very scary but it makes so much sense !...

[@prematureoptimism7125]

It's not just the difference in diet with hunter gatherers but u may want to also factor in a lifestyle of inactivity.
