Looks to me like they're adopting the covid model of bullshit. This is what The Swamp does -- it seeps into everything.

A hilarious skit about food advice:

Nutrition science was the original COVID science so I'd rather say the pandemic experts adopted the food model. You're not wrong though. It's the same mess of bad methods/data and worse incentives.

Look at how the food pyramid worked out. All I see is bipedal food pyramids.

Expand full comment

Yep. I grew up looking at that pyramid every day while waiting for lunch.

Then they just said "oops, our bad" and yanked the whole thing.

Probably contributed to my "authority doesn't know WTF they are doing" attitude.

My awakening was that during wrestling season we would "cut" weight and the coaches would swear that eating a diet of grapes and diet coke was the only way I was gonna make weight on Saturday's.

What they didn't know is that I would stare at the dog food bowl like it was full of twinkies. I'm serious.

I remember a couple of the super hardcore guys walking around in plastic trying to sweat out that last pound.

I played basketball, myself.

I woke up Saturday mornings IN plastics and then would go to the sauna.

I was a late developer. My junior year was my "spurt". I wrestled at 112 lbs, but started the season at 128 lbs. and then grew 5 inches during the season. It was awful. The next year I wrestled 167.

Here is the thing about failed public health policy. It was never the policy that was bad. It was clearly the uncooperative, non compliant that spoiled the outcome. Clearly the problem was we didn't' do enough of what didn't work and the only thing left is to do more of what didn't work.

You took the vaccine and got COVID anyway? It's because not everyone took the vaccine. Here, take another booster. The vaccine didn't prevent you from getting sick because the virus mutated. So take another does of the same chemical that didn't prevent you from getting sick.

You can find this pattern in all aspects of public policy, especially when "health" or "safety" or the ominous "greater good" are invoked as justifications.

Actually the pandemic experts used the pharmaceutic model of statins. The Bayh -Dole Act took academic researchers out of the world of research for science and social gain and allowed them to commercialize their research for personal gain. They wrote papers using pharma data (not independent) often manipulating subgroups or eliminating #s that didn't support their defined outcome only for the drug companies to pay them through reprints.

Just like the pandemic.

Let's define a guideline that assures we sell drugs by constantly changing the target. We make these guidelines mandatory by threatening physicians with license revocation if they don't enforce the "guideline". The remaining "problem" is the patient: some obstinate patients challenge the guideline with pesky questions. The next step is simple: you deny health care to patients unless they follow your guideline which means take the drug to hit the target number.

Did that with COVID - take the vaccine or you won't get admitted. Soon will be the hammer to sell statins: if your number isn't at the magic target (which we will lower as soon as sales lag), whatever happens is YOUR FAULT.

The trend in this diet advice is exactly this: when the outcome is bad it is the patients fault. The tragedy is that real diagnosis doesn't happen and real causes are not found.

100% I figured this out when I worked in Canada at the Food and Animal Research Centre. They always push food propaganda depending on who sponsors their study. All complete bullshit.

Food Science and smoking. I noticed how much the Covid Science! reports sounded like the sort of reports that told me smoking was bad.

Food science is the new Temperance and Morality movement for people without temperance or morality.

I think there is a difference though. The Original Temperance momvenent was based around the fact that drunks are not productive workers. Today however, the food suggestions hide the fact that inflation has made the standard beefsteak meal out of the reach of a lot of moderately successful workers.

Also, for the first six months or so, it seemed that all those things that are disapproved of in society today also seemed more likely to make Covid worse. Since I had looked at the public health releases on the Spanish flu and noted how the whole "these things make you sicker" were really similar to the points put out for the Temperance movement at the time, it stuck out.

I seriously have friends who have beaten cancer and diabetes by mindful ingestion of organic meats with plenty of veg and low carbs (mostly brown rice, buckwheat or other whole cereal grains). One guy goes out every day to his property (not that big) and harvests a salad from edible native greens.

This study and the paid shills promoting it are full of shit. I'd love to get my 70+ year old survivors to jeer at them.

"the studies are junk, the data is worse, and it’s nearly all paid for by people with axes to grind and forgone conclusions to support." Bingo, right on the money, bullseye, give the man a cigar! You know those two pointed teeth on your upper jaw, called canine teeth? We have those because we are CARNIVOROUS. We are by nature MEAT EATERS! And last time I was in the market, beef was displayed on the meat counter. The leftists bad mouthing RED MEAT are radical communists out to destroy our traditional culture, and thus, capitalism. And if red meat is so bad, why then since we eat more than ever in our history, are we living LONGER than ever in our history? These are the same totalitarian radicals who claim America is racist, evil, rotten to the core, but cannot explain why we are being overrun by "brown, black, and yellow" people who are risking their lives and spending their life savings to get across our unfortunately open border.

There have been many public pronouncements lately about “red pilled” moments. Mine probably started in early 2018 when I started Keto, then moving over to “carnivore” later that year (for digestive and other autoimmune issues).

It was my introduction to biohacking (“ancestral health”). It is how I knew the pandemic was BS a few weeks in. It was where I really started to question mainstream narratives.

I am still mostly carnivore, for health, for vitality (not ideology, of any kind). Red meat (ruminant) is a true super good.

Claiming red meat causes diabetes is HILARIOUS. The authors should check in with South Asians aka Indians, who have one of the highest rates of metabolic syndrome in the world. And... most are vegetarian and those who are not do NOT eat red meat.

This is ridiculous. Red meat and fat are used by functional medicine drs to cure diabetes

I have mast cell degranulation. The only foods I can eat without triggering anaphylaxis is red meat and fat, and white potatoes.

I’ve been constantly losing weight but the only thing that stops me losing weight is only eating red meat and fat.

The human metabolism requires animal fat to maintain normal function. Animal fat is also used for signalling processes in the brain. It’s what our brain uses to maintain sound brain function and processes and no other food can do this

People all round the world with autoimmune disorders find all their symptoms disappear on a red meat and fat diet.

If red meat is outlawed as our western govts seem to be pushing for it will result in disaster.

I saw a video where Mikhaila Peterson talked about an all meat diet curing her long standing health issues.

Expand full comment

Yes she has a Facebook page called the Lion diet. I don’t think she’s actually aware of the true nature of her health issues though.

She has an orthopaedic implant like me and if she got the Melisa test I believe she would find her symptoms are caused by the implant and she is susceptible to type 4 allergies to metals. Just like me. I’ve asked around in her group on Facebook and most of them seem to have orthopaedic implants too or dental work.

I’m suffering from a reaction to the alumina in bone cement. It’s also caused bad cardiac issues and I get out of breath just by lifting something. Exertion

In February I got a white composite dental filling removed and replaced it with a saremco ceramic composite filling. This was to try mitigate the harm caused by the bone cement in my spine. It worked. My pulse rate returned to 60 and my blood pressure returned to normal and had no more breathlessness or cardiac symptoms

Then in March I had to get holes filled in my top front 6 teeth with ceramic composites. New fillings not replacements I was worried that would bring the cardiac issues back. And they did come back with a vengeance

In the next few weeks I get the last four standard white composite fillings removed and replaced with saremco ceramic composites. This will get rid of my cardiac symptoms again.

If Mikayla got her implant removed all her symptoms would go away anyway and she could eat what she wanted. But obviously it may not be able to be removed.

I think most people’s bad health is caused by foreign objects like dental work and implants but propaganda from their drs has made them think they would be crazy to suspect a pharmaceutical implant as the cause of their bad health because they are safe and effective

People allow themselves to be corrupted with false claims when it’s the dr dishing them out but in isolation, govt and pharmaceutical industry propaganda does not stand up to logic at all. Their brains have been trained to ignore logic

Expand full comment

She hasn’t cured them. She has mitigated them. The diet works well for her because her body is not functioning correctly due to the metal implant. But sticking to her diet could very easily cause problems for other people who don’t have implant allergy. I think she is starting to realise that

We should eat what our body tells us to eat

Yes. they are called ESSENTIAL Amino Acids for a reason. Hominids used to scrape by on carcass left-overs and bone marrow. They left their mark via Obsidian napping on bones (seen in fossil records).

Expand full comment

That’s really interesting. You gotta wonder what made them decide to forage on carcasses. I think it’s because our body knows what we need and directs us to seek it out. Our instincts are still vital for our survival just like it was for those early hominids. But too many ignore their inner wisdom in the modern world. And those people are suffering the consequences. Our gut feeling tells us if we are following advice that is contrary to our instinct. But too many allow themselves to be bullied or coerced into ignoring it.

We shouldn’t even have to be talking about what foods are good for us or bad for us because we were born with that knowledge already. It’s just that people stopped listening to themselves

Yes - it's especially maddening that the push for less / no meat is happening as millions (billions?) more people are getting autoimmune disease.

Our (late) dog once embarrassed us at a farmers market over his dislike of veggies. This very nice lady who sold homemade dog biscuits offered him a “veggie treat”, and he actually turned his head away! 😂🤣. This was a guy who would happily chow down on bits of dead bird he found by the roadside, but veggies: no. I apologized, explained his position, and she offered him a meat flavored treat instead, which he gobbled down happily.

OTOH, I did fool him into eating carrots once -- they had been slow cooked for 8 hours in a fabulous lamb stew. I’m pretty sure he thought he was eating lamb...
