Well, sugar is not such a good thing to eat! Sugar feeds cancer very well. If you have cancer and are eating candy, you are asking to kill yourself!

Great podcast, I just listened to it. I'm going to have to look up his Youtube channel. Thanks for posting.
One of the things he mentioned which I'm very interested in is how before the agricultural revolution, maybe 10k years ago, it's clear from the archeological record and bone analysis that what people at was really almost exclusively animal products - meat and fat.
It would be really interesting to see some documentation of that.
I think I've heard Dr. Anthony Chaffee talk about that as well, and also he mentions quite a bit that pre-agriculture, people were quite a bit taller and generally healthier than post-agriculture.
Actually that sounds like a good topic for a book.

Depends on the human. Everyone is at a different place on the journey of food. For me, I have gone through may phases and they were all right for me at the time. I don't buy any story of any one way humans should eat, doesn't make sense to me. Where I am now, I believe that lighter foods closer to the sun are the best. Like fruits and vegetables. I avoid denser foods like dead animals. In the past I have eaten everything across the spectrum though. And it was perfect for me at the time. Food is a journey. No one knows what is best for us except ourselves.

I hear this a lot, that everyone is different (in regards to the proper human diet) and has different nutritional needs.
I don't think that's true, though. Maybe in terms of wants and desires, and habits and impulses, but in terms of what is actually the healthiest, I don't think it can be so different, from person to person.
It just doesn't make sense, considering human beings as mammals. There's no other mammalian species out there, where you can feed 2 individuals wildly different diets, and they both thrive. Like - what would happen if you were to feed one lion a meat diet, and another a vegan diet?
Obviously there's gradients, on the omnivore/carnivore spectrum, and we're more omnivore than lions. But especially considering that a vegan diet doesn't have at least 1 very well known nutrient (B12), which over the long term can cause very serious problems - there's no way I can believe that the vegan diet is appropriate for humans.
Not to mention my personal experience in the last year, of going completely animal based, and feeling so much better, having so much more energy.

From a more practical perspective, wouldn't history okay a roll? Like humans that come from different environment with different ancestors? If I go to Mexico and drink the water I might get sick. While a native could be fine. Aren't we conditioned to thrive in different environments. I feel like humans are quite adaptable. I feel like humans are unique in this way because we travel the world and we can decide what we want to eat. I suppose maybe this is kind of a nature vs. nurture question. 🤔

I agree that there are different diets that work for different people, or for different cultures living in different environments. Just not as different as people think - nothing like the difference between vegan and carnivore.
The drinking the water thing...I think it's a matter of developing antibodies to specific bacteria that can cause illness. I know people from India who, after having been away from India for a while, had to be very careful when they returned for a visit, because they WOULD get sick from the water, now.

A vegan diet is a higher vibrational diet. It's lighter food, literally meaning closer to the sun, more light. Eating animals is eating the thing that eats the higher vibrational energy and it is eating death of a something we are more closely related to. That's why in so many faiths pork is a no go. That's how I see it. Do you think humans are meant to be carnivores?
reply
I respect that point of view. I look at food more like a spiritual journey. I had a carnivore phase and it was amazing for me for a period of time. But again, I see humans as spiritual beings have a temporary human experience. And ascending or rasing our vibration has a lot to do with what we consume. Am I right? No idea. That's just how I see it now. I used to be scientific in my thinking. Now I feel differently..
