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. ;)

Happy listening and let me know what you think.

What did you learn? What did I miss?

Stay tuned for another episode coming soon!
