Also, not many people realize how balanced a homemade pizza can be. Homemade being the key word.

[@NicholasBTillinghastLewman]

Whole Foods uses 00 Flour, which is a finely milled Italian flour ideal for Neopolitan style pizza. The protein content is much higher than regular baking flour, making it much healthier and more balanced for your digestion, especially if you ferment it. So Mikey, is also probably getting some of this daily protein intake from the 00 dough.

[@aussieinkorea593]

Joe's heart broke when he said "no meat". Hahahahaha

[@justinw1765]

More like exploded his brain/belief systems. No matter how many high functioning, super athlete vegetarians or vegans Rogan meets, it seems he will always seem to have the belief that meat is not only good but necessary for good health. Not that Mikey Musumeci is fully vegetarian by any means. He said quite clearly that when not training hard, he does eat some meat.

@@Mas-ij3ti If you understand statistics, then you would understand that since there are far, far fewer vegan and vegetarian athletes, there is far less chance of them holding as many top positions.

Seems you haven't looked much into the subject.

Hopefully the kid is truly happy and content, but only he knows that. Also personally, G32, I hope you find your way out of that rut, I know what that feels like and I can't say I've beat that feeling but I control it a lot better now. I deal with anxiety and depression. I don't take medication, I deal with it naturally. I first stopped doing drugs and using substances, very important. I then started giving myself tasks or goals for each day, I keep myself occupied, I've picked up reading as a hobby, I've started to practice cooking... You will never not have those feelings you mentioned in your post, but you CAN control them, you CAN start fighting back. Wishing you all the best.
