Dr Walter Willett - Why choosing plant-based protein is more important than ever

[@ziyuchan7468]

This pandemic has brought more awareness on the challenges of feeding our communities with nutrient dense food from a regenerative resource.Thank you for organising this event.

[@tnvol5331]

Willett is a true expert!

Jerusalem artichoke plants are 28% protein! I'm going to use for chicken feed next year. The ones I've harvested so far cook up just like fried potatoes (in butter), super delicious! No problem for diabetics!

[@Jennifr1966]

I love artichoke hearts! Your chickens are going to be quite lucky birdies! 😉

[@toni4729]

Stop demonizing the cows and praising packaged foods. That's daft.

He’s a vegan zealot and a propagandist for government control of weather. How arrogant!

[@tomgoff7887]

Did you bother listening to what he actually said?

[@toni4729]

@@tomgoff7887Why is LDL so seriously connected to red meat? That's absolute bullshit for a start. But we're talking about leaving it out of the diet altogether because of LDL, you have to remember that cholesterol is 20% of our brain and it's not exactly ignored when it comes to the rest of our body either. Our hormones and testosterone not to mention every single cell in our body requires it. He also has a serious problem with fat. Why? Fat never made anyone fat. And cholesterol turns into vitamin D.... in case you didn't know. No, I didn't hear anything.

Did you? Or are you a happy vegan.

Exemplary lecture on nutrition, health, and climate change and how it all relates.

[@sl1173]

Thanks for the video. Very informative on this subject.

[@Jennifr1966]

Dr. Willett, My Uncle Guido wrote a heart disease book and credited you directly for keeping himself alive for an extra 25 years he might not have otherwise had. He believed that we can have a tiny something not-so-healthy once in a while (Not Daily!), as long as we mostly follow your plan. My only question has to do with regular meat, like chicken and salmon. I realize that plant protein is the newest "meat, " but is chicken and turkey still okay?

[@alex_4trth]

In moderation. Stick to fatty ruminants.

[@lloydholidaysthecostofathi2146]

Why doesn't the world try to curb population growth? We have more than enough people already.

[@patrickvanmeter2922]

I think they are working on it. Another war

[@EzeMaryShide-wt7xu]

If they try to cut population growth, you will not be here.

[@thanhdang2546]

Similar to Blue Zone diet- Ikaria.

Conflict of interest. Fake food

[@timmiet47321]

Keep grazing while I eat the grazers.

[@toni4729]

Good thinking. Very good thinking.

[@lamedvav]

I’m with you, Timmie. Meat with lots of butter, fish, eggs, + raw dairy is healthiest. This guy is an avid vegan.

[@tomgoff7887]

Yeah, ignore the science. Nothing new there - people have been digging their own grave with a knife and fork for centuries.

[@andrearyan9176]

Thoughts from old school guy…

[@tomgoff7887]

Science is 'old school'? Admittedly, pseudoscience does currently seem very popular these days with the cognitively-challenged.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Yeah, I'm sure a guy getting over 2,000 peer reviewed scientific papers on nutrition is just old incorrect news. Do yourself a favor and read actual studies and listen to the actual scientists that aren't selling you something or funded by the beef industry. There ain't much money in broccoli. People just like hearing good things about their bad habits.@@tomgoff7887
