What is a Natural Human Diet? -- Part One: Philosophy and Ethics
Frugivore? Vegan? Vegetarian? Omnivore? Carnivore? What is a natural human diet?
In this episode, I discuss why I think the topic of nutrition can turn so contentious and I zoom out and define terms across the spectrum of nutritional philosophies.
THIS MAY BE MY MOST CONTENTIOUS EPISODE YET
I discuss...
- Strawman categories of nutrition and "science"
- The harms of both animal AND plant agriculture
- Vaccines and Polio
- Worldviews and Religion
- Climate change hysteria
- Lab-grown meat
I take a lot of different viewpoints to their logical conclusion and I'm not shy about calling out food propaganda. I did my best to set the stage for a fair and fruitful (no pun intended) discussion regarding WHAT to eat, which I will talk about in the next episode.
I think this one will deliver on my promise to stretch your thinking. ;)
Feedback welcome!
