Beef if the greatest food on earth. Change my mind.
It needs to be its own food group!
Can’t
I eat it almost every day
💯
Beef liver…(?)
We own an old fashioned butcher shop. We need Beef! That’s why the old lady asked where’s the beef?
I would love to know if the sumarian recipes have been translated. Always always I am asking, what were recipes like in areas before trade spread various fruits and grains around the world?
They have. Tasting history did a couple of them
I became carnivore and regained robust health. I’m 75 come August.
Me too, I’m seventy-one now and will never return to vegetables. They can be dangerous to many people’s health.
Right on!
I’m a week back into Carnivore. I’ve “tried” several times over the few years and in the couple of weeks at a time my health dramatically improved – loss of pain, rash, hyperinsulinimia, and prediabetes. Gone. This time, I’m not trying, I’m doing it. I identify as someone who just isn’t a plant-eater. I’m a bioavailable nutrient dense whole food eater aka meat, butter, eggs, lard, fish. I anticipate a full regain of my health & increase in both strength & endurance in the very near future. Just say No to plants 🙊 I don’t eat plants.
Proven facts that beef is the ultimate diet for health and strength, look at the diseases and weaknesses of the elderly who forget to eat protein, and live off of oats and toast.
My only concern with eating meat is the crap they feed the cows to fatten them up.
And yet, it is still better than the crap the hide in prepackaged food.
Get it from local farms, not all production is done with chemicals
Fortunately that rerely happens in Australia but we can still buy grass fed.
Meat however does have one advantage. Animals have livers and kidneys, that means (like us) they have filters they get rid of things that are no good for them.
Sometimes I can get grass fed grass finished beef! Over 20% fat and delicious.
I eat less meat than I used to but usually consume a small portion with my evening meal. The problem in the U.S. and maybe Australia is the CAFO’s. Controlled Animal Feeding Operations are overflowing with cattle manure and their nitrogen-rich excrement is flooding into streams and rivers and making it’s way into the ocean. This increase nitrogen in the ocean is causing a wild overgrowth of algae that dies and sinks to the bottom of the ocean where it suffocates the plankton that is responsible for providing much of the Earths oxygen. Ninty percent of Americas crops are used to feen livestock. Hog CAFOs are even worse with their five to ten million gallon tanks of manure that also runs into the groundwater, rivers, and streams and into the sea. Grass-fed beef is a fantastic food. The corn fed beef that flood the grocery stores is not nearly as high in quality and nutritional value for omega 3s. I wish we could get back to old fashion cattle farming that produced amazing beef. The CAFOs are cruel to animals, produce a second-class product, and kill the environment along with it. I wish it wasn’t so.
Grain fed is a bit lower quality in terms of some better fats and vitamins but the differences are not that large.
For fats were talking about approximately 5 percent that is omega 3 and 6
I really love this channel, it contains some of the best and most helpful talks on diet and health.
Starting to agree. Fairly new to this channel.
I just hope it’s all archived somewhere else too
Yes, deer and kangaroo are very good meat, but not very much fat.
Damn, this guy went in deep. Drawing parallels between centralized medicine to central banking really got my attention.This was the most enthralling presentation I’ve heard in a while. Lots of new info. Salute to Dr. Yoganathan!!
Should read/listen to Big Fat Suprise by Nina Teicholz.
She researched where the whole dietary advices and nutritional information basically came from.
I’ve recently been trying carnivore, mostly!
The advocates of this lifestyle instruct you to be strict with it, although I will admit to having kraut, garlik, limes in moderation
Being of European ancestry, I know we were built to survive on some plant and herb matter..
I think the advocates of carnivore say go 100% if you are trying to cure something.
Yes, that’s one of my favourite photos. The manufacturer of those massive machines wiping out the land must be so proud of what they’re doing. Not a single tree to be seen anywhere.
Very good presentation, thank you. I’m 63 years old 4 years carnivor it’s saved my life but wife and 5 adult kids will not try it or even talk about it. They have university education and will not listen to an old farmer who research on YouTube. Have a son, (commercial pilot) who can no longer fly because of the vaccine damage to his health.
Dr. Yoganathan is very empowering.
The same thing that happened with eggs. Beef and eggs are very cheap considered the level of nutritional value and satiety they provide. The food industry can’t sell so many food like products, if beef and eggs are in their way, hence the demonization of saturated fat and cholesterol. Similar thing applies to other animal products too.
Funny watching this eating my one daily meal of … Beef
There is a barely suppressed anger simmering beneath his urgency to get the message out….
Regarding Australian meat:-
The FAR greater majority of our beef is _wholly_ pasture raised and finished, with the cattle never seeing a feedlot in their lives.
What percentage of beef we do finish in feedlots, aren’t raised there; most of it is exported, and even then, most was fed grass anyway! What percentage of the feedlot beef is grain-fed, is all exported to those markets who prefer it ~ namely the US and Japan.
As a _general_ rule, there’s none of it left for our supermarkets, who generally won’t buy it; and our butchers definitely won’t — that’s an industry standard practice according to my local butcher.
And as for our jolly jumbucks, they’re all wholly pasture-raised and finished.
Australian pork is mainly raised in pens, about 90%, but to probably the highest ethical and quality standards in the world — our sows _can_ turn around, roll over, stretch out, and until ready to farrow, be with the rest of their ‘sister’ sows in their little social-units, as they like. And though only 10% for now, freely-ranging and outdoor-ranging/indoor-feeding & sleeping methods of pork-rearing are growing (and before you lament them being in pens at all, remember that a small, close nest is natural for sow — that’s what she _wants_ as a place to farrow. Remember too that pigs are omnivores, not herbivores, and given the chance, a pregnant sow will eat the piglets of another sow. She’ll only eat her own in extreme stress, but those of another sow are fair game; so each sow has to be kept separately and enclosed, at least for the late-pregnancy, farrowing and to-wean phases, otherwise none of their piglets would survive to become the bacon you love. Even in otherwise freely-ranging pigs, the pregnant sows still have to be separated and penned if you want them and their piglets to survive; but this just mimics their natural behaviour ~ in the wild, a pregnant sow will wander widely from her social-group, choose a separate and isolated place, and construct a grass/reed nest so she’s protected on three sides, for her farrowing; and if she can find a discarded den, that’s what she’ll prefer, even if it seems cramped to our eyes — in one way just like a wild cat, she too will build her grass/reed nest with surprisingly close quarters).
The Australian meat-chicken industry has similarly high standards, and our meat-chickens are never reared in cages. They’re mostly raised in large, dirt-floored sheds, and mostly have some free-ranging access; or they are wholly freely-ranging during the day, coming back to the shed only to roost at night. Most of our eggs are also now produced by freely-ranging hens.
So don’t mistake our meat industry for anyone else’s — they are really quite different.
PS: But before you condemn the European and American farmers, remember that most of our livestock can be out in the elements all year without harm, for we of course just don’t get their 20+ foot of snow and ice from which their animals need protection (our pigs do need protection from the sun during the day, and both them and chickens prefer to sleep in a shed at night — don’t they have us well-trained!). But in the NH, their animals do need real protection from the elements or they wouldn’t survive their winters; but even that being the case, PLENTY of European and American graziers feed their cattle grass, even in their winter feedlots, not grain. Grain-feeding their beef is mostly a thing of American ‘Big Ag’, not the average American ‘rancher’.
It’s quite the trope these days, thanks mainly to vegan activists, but the average American cattleman is just like ours ~ nothing matters more to him than his beef and its quality, so not surprisingly he’s not ‘factory farming’; most American ‘premium’ beef is at least grass-fed, if not pasture raised as well; and in fact, theirs too is mostly pasture-raised. The vegan activists didn’t go to the family ranches of Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, etc., for their films, because just like on our family farms and cattle stations, they’d have found nothing untoward to film — and that wouldn’t make for very good anti-meat propaganda, would it?!
So next time you get the chance, do what I did and simply ASK an American cattleman how he and most raise their beef. You’ll find it’s not in a feedlot at all, and it’s not on grain, and they can now use that simple fact as a marketing-tool, though it’s been the case forever.
Mostly eating beef, a few eggs bacon and occasional avocado for about 10 weeks – lost 5 kg bloating and gut issues (leaky gut / dysbiosis) greatly improved, skin clearer. I have had the occasional cheat day/meal and still have a few cravings, but loving the results. Great presentation – Low carb down under especially Dr Paul Mason well worth watching.
Really enjoyed this , he says it as it is 👍👍👍🇬🇧
