Its awesome to here someone like that talk about how horrible etc factory farming is etc!!!!!
Just a note he says get organic gets.. Chicken eggs can be called organic if they are penned in doors and fed things that chickens aren't suppose to eat (like organic corn, organic soy etc etc largely grains). Free range is first option, at least for me, and free range orgnic better yet.
Same with dairy. I am a bit supporter of organic, but grass fed non-medicated cows milk I would take over organic anyday.
Slightly off topic but..
So he talks about getting protein from nuts alot. I believe over consumption of nuts is not a good thing. A little here and there. Why? Today we have omega 6s in EVERYTHING! They are not fats we are lacking in, regardless of how big a role they have in health. The big thing is the balance of omega 3s and 6s. upping 6s is not smart in my opinion. (Certainly a prob vegans come across).
Too many 6s in relation to 3s will be pro-inflammatory.
He also says he doesn't do it cause he thinks its better. Of course he's not saying he thinks its worse either..
What he is saying is its for ethical reasons..
Well its been proven that plants actually have life and react to threats and show fear and pain etc etc. Sounds crazy but there is quite a lot of documented studies and many done by recognized groups etc That prove this.
So if you want to say I don't eat meat because of the poor animals, thats cool, but one is mistaken to think that taking a plants life is any different IMO of oourse.
The main point is probably seeing an athlete perform on this diet.
My point. Health and fitness are not interchangeable words.
Like I have said before. Today more athletes are dieing than ever before in history... But they are healthy right?? We see them do thier thing... Nope, they are fit. You can be both but you can be one or the other. IMO
Now being veg for 15 years and vegan for 10 certainly suggests something...
My opinion is its not the best way. That some people can get away with it due to possible genetic dispositions and constitution.
Like his talk on coconut oil!!!!!! But not on shakes (garbage in my opinion)
Low fat diets DO suck!!!!! Some people need more and some less but low fat diets kill. Not high fat.
Well there is some evidence there to support veganism.. I personally don't agree with the concept.
