In the wake of damning new evidence, the contribution of meat consumption to carbon emissions is at the forefront of global conversations. In this debate, fears of environmental damage and ethical concerns for animal rights clash with millions within the meat industry facing unemployment, religious and cultural traditions being condemned, and those with medical requirements risking disapproval for putting their health first. In light of these competing concerns, we must confront one of the most urgent issues of our time: should society finally move beyond meat?

Thank you so much for inviting me to speak! It was an honor.
Who’s here because of Jordan Peterson’s comments on his latest JRE appearance?
Big Pharma and the Food Industry never like a message that exposes the truth. Everyone should take control and find what work best for their health. Your message is powerful Mikhalia. Congratulations that you survived such a difficult journey. You are strong!
Mikhaila, we are SOOOO proud of you and your journey. Yes, regardless of how tired you might be of explaining this once again, we need to hear it. We need you. (and, your Podcast is wonderful).
She absolutely nailed that.
SO proud of Mikhaila for standing up for the only food I can seemingly eat without feeling weak, bloated, gassy, have terrible rosacea, some sort of scaly dry flaking skin from my face and scalp, heartburn, migraine headaches and extreme lack of convergence with many noticeable moments of forgetfulness. Also 2 nodes in or near my thyroid came up benign after having been on a Ketogenic diet for about 2 years before actually having the ability to have it checked after being made aware of them through an MRI. My mom is 80, currently undergoing infusions to help keep her in remission from stage 4 lung cancer she was diagnosed the end of March last year and she mainly eats eggs and ground beef with the occasional steak I cook and eat when she cares for it. I truly believe it's eating meat, salt and water that gives us life without illness! We are 2 of those who can prove this way of eating works and we don't need processed foods at all let alone some beyond meat, its beyond believable that it can not only have meat in its name but that its kept in the grocery stores freezer not far from where the real meat is kept. Vegans I have known in my life (for myself I was one once upon a time) would freak out if their veggies were anywhere near where meat was prepared or cooked. I know I cringe when I walk by the cooler in Costco and see this BeyondBeliefeBeef there right before the burger patties of real 100% Real Beef!
I'm a carnivore because of this lady and her fathers story that i stumbled on reading something else, it's changing my life for the better cutting out plants 🙏🏻
Notice that Mikhaila clapped when Carol Adams finished, but Carol Adams didn't clap when Mikhaila finished. Who's the better person?
I love that she didn't make herself out to be a victim and gave her solution in a fashion that doesn't make her diet sound morally superior. Emotionally charged victimhood speeches tend to make people not even ask questions, because
First minute of her argument already distasteful… “I have better things to do” like, ok??
I did this for a few months in my 20s and the cellulitis went away. It was incredible.
Your family has saved a lot of people in the world . Personally I have been woken up by men like your father . A gift to mankind
I like how Mikayla looks vibrant and healthy, and the vegans look like they're atrophied.
Also as a farmer I can tell you that ruminants properly rotationally grazed are very good for soil building.
The evidence that saturated fat is good for you is piling up year by year. I initially set out on a keto diet to debunk a book that my mother had badgered me into reading. I thought fine, I will do this thing, it won't make a difference, and we can move on with something real. So I did it... and it did make a difference. More difference than I ever imagined it would. It almost eliminated both my seasonal allergies and my ADHD, not to mention bringing my weight under control. It fixed things that I didn't know were even wrong. Pain disappeared. My sleep improved. My cardiovascular performance improved. Exertion no longer resulted in agonizing lactic acid buildup in my muscles even if I didn't stretch afterward. My reactions to mosquito bites and poison ivy are less extreme. It sounds like a list of total nonsense, and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't lived it.
Growing up, I had nearly every symptom/issue that Mikhaila has describes, minus the arthritis. Switching to a low carb, mostly meat diet has completely changed this for me. It fixed the IBS issues, chronic itching and breaking out in hives , depression, psychosis, etc. I'm an actual functional human being now.
I went through a similar, but much less severe, experience as Mikhaila.
I did an all meat diet for 3 mm onths and it was deer I hunted and fish I caught, never felt better, just one meal a day, lost fat gained muscle stayed more active.
When I don't eat enough meat, I get very tired, I loss hair, I get depressed, etc. I have to have meat in my diet.
Solid points. I would stick to meat, especially after I heard the old crazy woman in that weird dress, talking about everything except facts and studies 😂
