Tufts Univ. School of nutrition released their ridiculous chart for healthy eating (you can look it up) and it struck me as bizarre that they put frosted mini wheats at the very top of the healthy food list and eggs and butter at the very bottom. What was also strange is the ONLY brand food they mentioned was frosted mini wheats...a kellogg's food. Why would they single out that particular food when everything else was generic? It makes no sense. Or does it!? Edit: BTW I went to Tufts and I thought it was a pretty poor school back in the 80s. It seems it's gotten worse.

Depending on which Food Compass chart you look at, General Mills is mentioned quite often too. In fact, their Cheerios cereal shows up as the most healthy "grain" and, in just casually looking at the chart, it looks like General Mills beats Kelloggs in most of the grain category. I guess General Mills must have kicked in more cash.

They did a survey that they based their Australian recommendations on for Australia based on ONLY n=2001 participants for a population of almost 26 000 000 people. The basic message: EAT MORE VEGETABLES & GRAINS. Me and my dog are at 500%+ of our allowance of meat and 100%+ for dairy, 0% for fruit and 0% for vegetables. So saturated fat still vilified, seed oils rein and carbs pushed. Vegetables are similar cost per kg to minced beef but vege little food value compared to beef, quality eggs, butter and A2 milk.

Meanwhile, they’re busy ensuring patients have taken their meds for this, that & the other (many of which they could do without if nutrition was corrected), and spruiking the message as they know it (fat bad, cholesterol bad, low fat good), whilst chowing down on all sorts of crap which is for some, and will for others, lead to their own poor health outcomes.

I agree that animals are beneficial to the land when regenerative principles are applied to their management and detrimental when it involves 'industrial' methods Likewise many vegans especially in the city have no idea of the murder and carnage involved in their food supply, while at the same time I know vegans who produce most if not all of their own food from permaculture and syntropic agriculture 'food forest' systems (especially in the tropics) that severely limit the negative impact on wildlife and ecosystems AND where many of the people who choose veganism are actually dynamically healthy (including vegan body-builders and athletes I know personally (though I agree with your point about supplementation).

Zoe didn't quite complete the first animal argument... it's true that you can't benefit an animal by ensuring it never exists, but it's also true that you can't harm an animal by ensuring it never exists... the honest conclusion from this seems to be that keeping cows and pigs and chickens from existing neither helps nor harms *them*. Still, her ultimate point is valid, if she meant it, that the only reason the animals we eat exist is because we eat them. So the question then turns to whether their lives are, on the whole, good. The chickens she showed... you might conclude "No." But cows fed grass and slaughtered with minimal pain (which is less than a tenth of a percent of their life)? That seems to be an emphatic "Yes." Then, all the good regenerative ag does... carnivory really is best.

Does anyone know if Zoe Harcome has done a longer version of this presentation? It feels rushed and there's even more to say about going into protein quality, bioavailability, regenerative farming, amino acids and more. I have only just started eating a little grass fed beef from 20 years no meat. It takes a while, but my red blood cells are below the normal range and my ferritin stores are low. Glad I read about omega 3 and for 15 years I at least didn't totally avoid fish. I didn't think the nutrients from animals were needed and I could supplement with iron. My iron tablets despite not choosing any particular one, were always marked vegetarian or vegan. I guess they can call them that because the iron is there, but it doesn't mean you'll absorb it. I guess I should have taken more, but they actually make me feel queasy So glad to have found Zoe Harcome because she's also speaking from experience whilst delivering the facts. Wish I'd found out about them sooner The sad thing is there are so many people I know not eating meat and even not giving it to their growing babies and young children, but if I were to send this to them, they wouldn't appreciate it and probably dislike me for it. They would likely not even watch it, but just already be annoyed by the title and then at me. I've tried to tell people, but it's so hard when the vegan narrative is so strong now. Worst yet is all the awful vegan junk food in green packaging like it's so natural, healthy and environmentally friendly 😔 I feel the only place I can freely express myself about this is in KZbin comments hence why this one is so long. Another thing is the carnivore diet which I've seen an incredible number of KZbin accounts of success stories as well as hundreds of comments below of so many curing themselves of all kinds of things they've even suffered with for decades. I've seen other diets including vegan talk of success but it's just so high and mind-blowing in carnivore ones for depression and autoimmune. I know people who could do with trying it for their own debilitating medical issues, but even when I mention it just a bit, they're closed to it. I usually talk about success with paleo and keto since it's a little easier than mentioning anything connected with highly vilified meat

Every time I see “ no animals were harmed for this meal” I challenge it. We’ve been lied to for too long.
