Flashback Friday: Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen Checklist

- In my book How Not to Die, I center my recommendations around a Daily Dozen checklist of all the things I try to fit into my daily routine.
Normally we just show you the science from the primary sources in the peer-reviewed medical literature, but I want NutritionFacts.org to be more than just a reference site. I want it to be a practical guide on translating this mountain of data into day-to-day decisions. So, that’s where my Daily Dozen slips into the mix. It’s available for free on Apple App Store (itunes.apple.com/us/app/dr.-g...) as well as an Android app (play.google.com/store/apps/de..., thanks to an amazing group of volunteers through our Open Source Initiative (nutritionfacts.org/open-source/).
Here are direct links to the two videos I referenced in the video: How Many Glasses of Water Should We Drink a Day? (nutritionfacts.org/video/how-...) and How Much Should You Exercise? (nutritionfacts.org/video/how-m....

• Dining by Traffic Light: Green Is for Go, Red Is for Stop (nutritionfacts.org/video/dini...)
Okay, but how do you actually incorporate those Daily Dozen foods into your diet? Check out The How Not to Die Cookbook (nutritionfacts.org/cookbook/) and The How Not to Diet Cookbook (nutritionfacts.org/book/how-n...) (all the proceeds I receive from that and all my books goes to the 501c3 nonprofit that runs this site), and my “In the Kitchen” videos: My New Favorite Dessert (nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-g..., My New Favorite Beverage (nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-g..., and Cran-Chocolate Pomegranate BROL Bowl (nutritionfacts.org/video/dr-g....
If this video inspired you to try eating the Daily Dozen, join our Daily Dozen Digest! Learn more here (nutritionfacts.org/daily-dozen/). Note: If you’re eating cups a day (as everyone should!) of dark green leafy vegetables I would recommend sticking to low-oxalate greens (i.e. basically any greens other than spinach, swiss chard, and beet greens).

LOL every time I think "what else can I add to make this healthier", I end up eating too much. Seriously, being on a WFPB diet has led to a consistent weight loss of about a 1lb. per month. Doesn't sound like much but over two years it's been significant. My BMI is finally below the overweight category. As I alluded to in the first line, I'm never hungry because there's literally too many things to eat. Thank you Dr. Greger for interpreting all the science. Taking care of my body, caring for the Earth and caring for all other sentient beings by not eating them. Metta to you.
@@emilybh6255 No. Legumes are amongst the healthiest foods on Earth.
@@emilybh6255 Yes you obviously have to cook legumes. There is nothing wrong with cooking food lol. Legumes and whole grains should not be "taken away" from the diet, we should be eating them every day. It's ironic that you're saying this anti-science bs on Dr. Greger's channel where he has specifically stressed the importance of legumes for longevity and health.
"what else can I add to make this healthier" add meat and get rid of plant-"foods"...
@@emilybh6255 please stop spreading this fruitarian BS. Species specific sounds really cool and sciencey but it does not take into account evolution and changing caloric needs, the stresses of daily life in the 21st century that affect most of us, as well as building the best immune system we're able during a relentless pandemic of coronavirus and variants. Leaving out legumes beans pulses whatever you want to call them, is a rotten lousy idea. No research backs up what you say so that automatically disqualifies it. Just ask Dr Greger
@@emilybh6255 Well at least you're drinking the plant-based Kool-Aid 🙄
TY! I used the Daily Dozen for the 1st year or so. I am now 80 & started when I was about 76! I went from 165 lbs back to my normal weight of 115 over the past years & with no effort @ all. 🤩
that’s amazing!
Okay boomer

That's what I try to think of: not pasta with some greens but greens with some pasta. Makes it a different meal with largely the same ingredients.
Superb.
That can make magnitudes of difference
Thank You!!! I have been eating quinoa, beans and veggies usually in equal portions. But your point on eating VEGGIES and adding the quinoa and beans; making the veggies the biggest portion of the bowl is very helpful.
It is a very nice point. Some of us have absolutely massive metabolisms and don't get the luxury of wasting stomach space on low calorie lettuces, so I tend to get what I need and go for much more substantial vegetables like kale, broccoli, and (when the opportunity presents around family) squashes. Fortunately I don't have to eat 9500/day anymore (my poor parents...that was in 2008 too), but I still do probably 3500
God Bless ya Dr. Greger & Team! You are literally saving and improving lives and the fact that you've made this app free and post such great content for the world proves your intent to really help others and I have a Huge respect & appreciation for that and I think others should, as well 💙🌱💪🏼
Thank you for the work you do. Not only are you helping humans, but you are helping the planet and the other beings we share it with. That is a huge impact for one guy! I appreciate you efforts!
The main info Dr. Greger and his team provide should literally be a mandatory class in every school.
His advice is contrary to much of the USDA advice because we subsidize meat and dairy so those are prioritized instead 😞 Such a shame… I’ve spent the second twenty years of my life unlearning the food habits of the FIRST twenty years of my life 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks Doc!!! I’m praying this year I’ll get the DailyDozen down packed!!! Thanks for all your awesome advice and teachings!!! I have bought your new book and pray I can use it to my advantage!!!🥗🍓🥑🍊
Love the beard....Ordering your books today.
As an open heart patient I thank you
Thanks Doc!!! I’m looking forward to using the DailyDozen list more this year to keep me on track… I believe what I have been doing is over thinking 🤔 which was making it even harder!!! Here’s to a healthy LIFE!!!🥗🍓🥑🍊❤️
Been using it for a few years now. I always recommend the app even to non vegan friends and family.
Please make a fridge magnet 😬 it would be great to have a daily reminder of the daily/dirty dozen in my face when I open the fridge.
Excellent idea...
Or alternatively a wall chart with alphabet list of viatmins and phytonutrients and underneath those headings the best plant foods to obtain these with a little cartoon drawing of the food
The app is nice.
It takes getting used to because at first I thought "I can't possibly eat this much food!" but as the video explains, you have to change the way you think of how foods complement each other.
I average about 9 everyday because I am still trying to incorporate nuts and seeds into my diet.
Thank you so much for your work!
Dear brother Dr. Greger, I really appreciate your work and thank you for sharing all the new studies with us !
You mean the new studies that are just as much absolute garbage as every other study on human nutrition? Epidemiology can tell us nothing about the cause. All of these studies are highly flawed and of no utility to anyone whatsoever, apart from charlatans like Greger who use them to make money off of the ignorant people who don't understand this.
Many many thanks for your work and your videos
I am so indebted to you for providing such great insight. You deserve a noble prize.
You are a treasure Dr Greger 💖💖.Thank you
I’ve done a little bit of an experiment by accident but I noticed when I go whole food plant-based and follow Dr. Greger’s plan I lose a pound a day but if I eat animal products..I actually gain almost a pound a day. I know that’ll slow down once I get closer to my goal weight but I’m definitely sure wfpb is the way to go for me.
Good job, thanks Doc!
Nice, and the app is free too! Thanks Dr. G!
My major problem with this lifestyle is finding time! By the time I exercise 60 minutes, cut up a bunch of stuff each day, concoct dishes to eat, drink the required water (which by the way you should not do while eating "they" say) and do some meditation and stretching I have very little time to actually work the 8 hours a day I am suppose to give to my employer! And if it snows or my wife needs help with things or there is cleaning to do, it is impossible to fit all this in. As well, I also do intermittent fasting (which I highly recommend for optimum health). So I only have 8 hours a day to eat all these items. I feel like I am stuffing myself to get it all in, which cant be healthy. Ugh, kind if stressful.
Try reducing your portions. The serving sizes are relatively small if you measure. I always cook too much and put what I think are "normal" portions on my plate -- too much food. If you measure for a while, it may help you to not feel so stuffed. As for everything else, have you heard that great saying, Progress not Perfection. Do the best you can and think of how much has changed in your life for the better. 🙂 Good Luck!!
This is so helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you!
Love this so much!
It has been a helpful reminder.
We printed the check list and put it on the fridge. Same for Dr Greger's 21 tweaks.
Any dinner's I make are beans and greens!!!
Love the beard Dr. G. Great sermon as per usge.
The best way to eat flax is to mix 1:3 flax meal with water and add your favorite spices to that and then add that to food. The flax "egg" really makes food creamy and delicious and isn't the obvious way to just put the flax powder over food.
Why on earth would you want to eat flax?
@@phill6983 Because it makes food creamy. If you add cinnamon to the flax and add water it coats your food nicely and makes it taste like cinnamon cookies. Flax is good for you.
@@oscaruglyface Why do you think flax is good for you?
Just some information for you:
Flaxseeds contain anti-nutrients that may have adverse influence on the health and well-being of human population. Cyanogenic glycosides are the major anti-nutrients and are fractionated into linustatin (213-352 mg/100 g), neolinustatin (91-203 mg/100 g), linmarin (32 mg/100 g). (Credit ncbi)
Similar to other seeds, flax seeds contain phytic acid. Phytic acid is often referred to as an antinutrient, as it may reduce the absorption of minerals like iron and zinc (85). Still, phytic acid doesn't cause any lasting reduction in mineral absorption and does not affect any subsequent meals. (Credit health line)
Why would you want to eat something with those anti nutrients in it? You don't need the fibre as humans can't digest fibre and we don't need it. The omega 3 that flax contains is in the form of ALA which is not a form that humans can use. We need EPA or DHA. We can use ALA as a precursor but we can only convert a tiny amount of it into a useable form.
Flax seed has enough negatives to show that it is not a healthy food for humans. I'd like to see any information that you can supply that proves otherwise.
Thank you from all my heart Mr. Gregor for everything you do for us ! I hope you will be in our lifes all our lifes :) i have one lill' question though: whats the equivalent of kale in germany ? Thank you and stay happy and healthy !
Don't eat Kale or spinach. Loads of oxolates and other unhealthy things including fibre. Cruciferous vegetables are not proper food for humans.
Thank you
to this day the finest nutritional concept I have ever seen (healthcare professional here)
Hello dr Greger, thank you very much for all the information you provide and great work. I am a fan and have read all your books.
I have a question regarding oils and LA. It has bad reputation from what I hear.
Is Evening Primrose supplement all right? It contains enothera biennia seed oil providing linoleic acid and gamma linoleic acid.
Is LA only bad if it is in processed sunflower oil?
Thank you, your reply would be appreciated very much.
thanks!
Great to hear from Dr Greger - I recently heard Dr Joel Fuhrman having a podcast discussion with Dr Gundry (who I'm suspect about) and hated the elephant in the room that they were selectively choosing to mention things they agree upon when their recommendations are starkly different.
Items high on Fuhrmans Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (as in, he thinks they are very healthy) are things Gundry says you should never have and are dominated by problem causing anti-nutrients.
Tim, I won't touch Dr Gundry with a bargepole - check out QUACK WATCH. My own reasoning is that he doesn't look healthy.
@@suecollins3246 Do you think Greger looks healthy?
Excellent!
big up from France Dr !!
The Daily Dozen are now in my blood. Not a day goes by without my flaxseeds in my oatmeal. Thanks for your work!
i would like the dry erase board better that the dd app. i just don't use it. plus, the visual hanging in my kitchen would be a constant reminder. and if the categories were appropriate colors? another reminder.
Pretty proud of myself because I eat these things every day intuitively. Ok, except flaxseeds. 🙄 But this is a good reminder that I should keep up with this and that I'm on the right track.
Dr. Greger's having me eat beans for breakfast lol. A breakfast bowl with beans, tofu scramble, avocado, tomatoes, corn tortillas, and green salsa. Topped with a bit of vegan sour cream 🥰
My copy of How Not to Die is still on loan and I love How Not to Diet!
That sounds really good! What seasonings do you use?
@@Thepaperedcauldron for the tofu scramble I use nutritional yeast, black pepper, a tiny bit of black salt, and often mustard (I don't know why I love this addition, but I don't always remember to add it). I also add scallions if I have any.
The best thing ever
very helpful
Hello Doctor Greger, I want to know what you think about Astragalus powder?
Hi is there anyway you could get information on a study of a long term strict vegan that has not taken antibiotics in over 15 years is suddenly forced to take antibiotics due to an injury and what that possibly might do to the gut lining and complications?
I love it
Look at that beard! Keep it growing Doc!
I use the app every day.
Have you considered a video on baobab fruit powder? It tastes similar to amla, and I suspect that it may be a valuable food.
Hi, Darren Paris! Baobab is mentioned in this video: nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-content-of-3139-foods/ I hope that helps!

Would this checklist be different between for women, since we tend to be smaller?
The problem with this is the word 'daily'.
It is better to multiply the checklist by 3 and try and hit everything in 72 hours. This lines up better with the cadence of shopping, cooking, etc. Some days might be over on legumes and under on fruits, but other days may be the reverse. That way everything is hit over 72 hours. But keeping the checklist 'daily' is too much to keep track of and doesn't tie up well with optimal cooking and shopping routines.
We stock up mostly healthy food at home (95%) so even my picky kid is just picky among healthy food, but when we go to parties once a while, we don't restrict ourselves.
Do you think that anything that Greger suggests is healthy food? It's not healthy human food, that's for sure.
I eat perhaps 12 servings of veggies mostly leafy green and cruciferous a day.
Wow. The amount of oxolates you are eating must be massive. That is not a good thing!
DAY 1: This is a LOT of food! I haven’t added anything extra except a little maple syrup on my whole wheat waffle with walnuts at breakfast. I’m measuring everything because I just started this. I’m going to burst at the seams!!! No way will I complete the list. And dinner is supposed to be least caloric meal of the day, as I’m sure everyone already knows.
Did get the 40 minutes done though.
Where does plant based milk fall in the category? I use oat milk or almond milk. Thanks!
Well, it definitely doesn't fall into the category of milk!

Any advice for someone who wants to remain vegan but is struggling with Oxalate issues? Finding it very hard to stay low Oxalate, feeling like I've got the body of a 70 year old man, the arthitis is agonizing and I'm only in my 30s.
You need to see a rheumatologist. This might be nothing to do with oxalates.
@@suecollins3246 I saw a rheumatologist. That's $2000 I'll never get back. Diagnosed me with a generic disorder such as Fibromyalgia and called it a day. When I cut out Oxalate rich foods all the pain in my joints went away but I'm struggling to keep my Oxalate count down and stay vegan
@@GamingForTheRecentlyDeceased Cook and rinse your greens to decrease oxalates.
He should do these with a yamaka
Does brewer's yeast have the same stuff as mushrooms?
Ergothioneine is also found in other foods with microscopic fungus like yeast and tempeh, but we typically eat less of these than we do of mushrooms. And not all mushrooms are equal here, oyster and king oyster mushrooms have much more than the common champignon.
Tip: if you have an oriental market nearby, you probably have an inexpensive source of king oyster mushrooms, my favorite faux meat.
@@MrDarrylR I can eat a lot of BY. I think it's great in beans.
Didn't know that about oyster mushrooms. I've grown them before. They're easy AF.
What has the worst effect on your body, the total amount of bad food or the percentage of bad food? This has large implications for someone on a 1200kc vs 6000kc diet.
Just eat the meat and fat of animals until you are full. You will get all the nutrition you need. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be 🙂🙂
I think Omega3 sources should be included and get a box. 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds is not enough!
I have been a huge fan of Dr Greger and many other WFPB gurus and have been WFPB, SOS free, GF vegan for 4 years. I am curious about benefits of collagen though, as it seems to help the body stay young. I know it is an animal product, which is where I struggle to take it. Thoughts?
Your body needs collagen and many other things that you can only get from the meat and fat of animals. It's kind of like we are meant to eat it, isn't it? It's what we have eaten for at least 350,000 years but apparently now people like "Dr" Greger know better.
@@phill6983 Do you even know what collagen is? 3 left-hand fibers wrapping into a right hand fiber. It's like 33% glycine, 13% proline, 11% alanine. The rest is highly variable and forms the basis of distinguishing collagens from one another. The only quirky thing about collagen is the presence of hyroxyproline. Unless you lack a basic enzyme of amino acid metabolism, there is nothing to worry about. If you really want to allude to evolution for why you disdain vegetables, what on earth did "humans" eat before that 350,000 year mark? Also, how about all of those evolutionary changes that are harmful to the individual member of the species (e.g. bee dies after stinging), or which are harmful to the species generally (e.g. still waiting for pandas to go extinct already.)
@@NightKnight347 Humans, in our current form and our ancestors for about 4 million years have evolved to eat mostly meat. It's only in the past 10,000 years or so that we have started to eat lots of plants and it has been terrible for our health.
@@phill6983 right. I think you missed the second half of the term "hunter-gatherer"
This feels like when kids are surprised to hear that even bears eat mostly plants. If we evolved to eat mostly meat, then I encourage you to eat raw meat and tell me how that goes for you.
@@NightKnight347 Do you have any scientific evidence to back up your claims? I can point you to stable isotope testing that proves that humans ate enough meat to be considered carnivores. This is actual science, measured with actual testing and expressed in actual numbers. I'd like to see you come up with anything like that to back up your claims.
If you wish to read the information for yourself you could search for
"The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene". It's a good place to start.
The human digestive system is not evolved to eat plants. I'd like to see your argument as to how you think it is. Humans are easily able to eat raw meat. I have done so myself and found it gave a rather pleasant and calming feeling in my gut. If I had access to hunting or killing my own animals then I would eat more raw meat but I don't really trust modern supply chains to keep my meat safe for raw consumption so I cook mine for now.
Doctor, for me, beans and cabbage are indigestible. After a bite of chickpeas, I'm throwing everything up, I'm going to have a headache like I took in poison. Oily seeds have been itching my skin for a while, causing an allergic reaction. I can't eat all of these. I'm healthy anyway. 67 years old.
It's not just you. Beans and cabbage are pretty much indigestible for all humans because we do not have the digestive system to digest them.
Don't eat beans, cabbage or oily seeds. They all have toxins in them. Try moving to a meat based diet, preferably a 100% meat diet and see if your problems get better.
He's really going for it with that beard!
Where can I purchase a dry marker daily dozen slate for myself?
Don't do it. There is no scientific evidence for this ridiculous advice.
@@phill6983 I did his list for 2 days and dropped 3 pounds and was never hungry.
@@barbarajeanjazz 2 days? That is not really a very good indication of the long term effects of a diet. Humans don't need any of these things to be healthy.
I am really struggling with fitting all this in. It's mainly the beans that is the problem. The greens can be a problem depending on what I'm eating that day as they don't go with much. Any tips welcome.
I'm thinking that if you prioritize the greens and just eat with them whatever you think will taste good, you're set. Greens and beans. Greens and potatoes. Greens and mushrooms. Greens and squash. Greens and all manner of grains. Really, I think beans would go with any of the above combinations really well! I also think it helps to find the beans you like the taste and texture of the best. I love all kinds, but the creamier beans like cannellini and lima/butter beans can be good entry points if you aren't already a die hard bean lover. Good luck!
@@istrala oh thanks. I've been eating lots of greens like spinach and lettuce because I hate cooking. But beans!!. I kind of like them, but it's just too much. 400g a day I've been told by 30 day challenge people. I can't eat that many. But. Hummus. That counts I've discovered. I love hummus. I don't eat much that's the problem. So today I've had an apple, banana, berries, flaxseed and plain yoghurt, crisps, enchilada, salad and a biscuit. It's not a huge amount. No beans today.
I suggest the best way to solve this problem is to stop eating beans, other legumes and greens. They are not human foods. They contain many bad anti nutrients and oxolates. Humans are not herbivores and we can't digest fibre like this. If you can't fit it in then stop eating it. Your body is talking to you. You need to listen to it!
@@istrala Eat your greens first then eat whatever tastes good??!! Seriously!! I think you should stop talking about nutrition because you are spreading dangerous information.
@@phill6983 Sorry, but I can't listen to you as I do not agree. I have never eaten much. Usually just one meal a day and a few biscuits. My diet is much better now. I intend to carry on. I've seen too many positives. The only negative is I can't eat a lot.

At minute 6:04 you are saying about having fruits for dessert. Probably it just slipped out of your mouth... you do not really mean that, right? Fruits always have to be eaten at least 30min before any main meal of the day or as a meal by itself. If fruits are consumed after the meal, as a dessert, they ferment in the stomach and gut and cause a lot of trouble (to say it mildly).
Dr Greger just says words because he wants to. There is no actual scientific evidence for ANYTHING that he says. Humans should not be plant based.
Detox is buzz word. Stop using it Dr. Greger. I like your content
Grains? As in gluten?
We need gluten in our whole wheat flour tortillas for our burritos.
Oats, rice, sorghum and corn are gluten-free grains. Pseudograins (actually seeds but closer to grains in both nutrition and use in cooking) such as amaranth, quinoa, millet, wild rice and buckwheat naturally don't contain gluten either.
Do note that rice isn't recommended in high quantities due to arsenic contamination.

Why would you not include potatoes in the daily dozen?
They are, under "Other Vegetables" - Steven, NF Staff
Three servings of fruit, but only one of cruciferous vegetables? I would reverse that. Cruciferous vegetables are the single biggest weapon against widest range of ailments.
Cruciferous vegetables? You mean the ones full of thiocyanates and fibre that will damage your gut?
I would eat zero servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
@@phill6983 Then you are on the wrong channel (and not long for this world in any event).
@@YD-uq5fi Haha. So you are suggesting that no one watch anything that they might not agree with? That's a great way to live. Just interact with people that all think the same way you do and say all the things you agree with? That's called an echo chamber. Cults like it when people only listen to the "approved" information.
Humans have eaten mostly meat for about 350,000 years. We have actual scientific evidence of this through stable isotope testing. They may have eaten some plant material but it would have been mostly fibrous tubers and only contained minute amounts of carbohydrates, nothing like today's modern man made vegetables. They ate no grains to speak of. They ate seasonal fruit for maybe a couple of weeks a year but again, that fruit bears little resemblance to the man made fruit we eat today. It is only for the last 8000 odd years, since the Agrarian Revolution, that humans have increased their consumption of plant material and it has been disastrous to our health.
So how come a diet that we ate for the entire existence of our species, and that our ancestors ate for about 4 million years before that, is now all of a sudden going to cause me to die young? Not much logic in that argument and you definitely have no science to back up your claims.
Sorry to have come into your little safe space and challenged you to back up your claims but it sounds to me like you need to broaden your research into human nutrition.
Surprised that onions and garlic are not on this list.
smoothie bowls with granola ftw
Ftw? For the wind? Don't eat granola. Way too much fibre. It will damage you gut.
@@phill6983 Humans evolved eating huge amounts of fiber, likely in excess of one hundred grams daily.
@@brescalofrio1 Have you any scientific evidence of that claim? Stable isotope testing proves that humans have always been hyper carnivores. Plus if they did eat any fibre it was from wild plants that have no resemblence to the plants we eat today. They would have had hardly any carbohydrates at all. Plants were something to eat if you couldn't catch any meat. Fruit was seasonal, in small quantities and again bears no resemblence to the modern fruits we eat today.
There is no evidence to prove that humans need any fibre in their diet. We don't have the gut system to digest it, well at least not in large quantities, which is why it is called indigestable fibre.
90 minutes of exercise ?? what about 30 minutes of walking a day ??

Daily Dozen is my bible :)
Beware of false prophets!
When you "wholefoods" vegans eat an orange do you also eat the peel in the same sitting? The peel is both edible and highly nutritious, so in discarding it you would be contravening the wholefoods credo and committing the sin of "processing", would you not? If I'm not allowed to consume EVOO because it's not wholefood why are you allowed to eat an orange without the peel?
That's why we get kumquats in season.
Yes, the flavonoids in citrus fruit are mostly concentrated in the rinds and pith, but most have been bred to have thick rinds that better survive harvesting and transport.
I blend the citrus in my smoothies skin and all. Apparently, you can do the same with bananas.
nice beard
Where's all the delicious meat and all its benefits?!
Yes! I've been scrolling there the comments for ages and you are the first one I've found who mentions this. There is no scientific evidence that humans should eat plants. "Dr" Greger et al are charlatans of the highest order!
There's not a single blue zone in the world where people are vegan or vegetarian. Not one. All the healthiest, and longest living peoples of the world eat meat. Also, raising or hunting your own meat is exponentially better for the planet than buying vegetables at the supermarket. Soy, for example, is number 2 on the list of top contributors to deforestation and habitat destruction. Nothing leads to more devastation than large scale agriculture which includes meat of course, but also fruits and vegetables. Raise or hunt your meat, plant your own garden and have an awesome life!
A lot of blue zones are vegetarian from the quick Google search I've just done. But in any event. It's not about who lives the longest. Its also about quality of life. There are many different factors.
It's up to you what you think is healthy. But this is the only diet to reverse heart disease.
You know most of the soy grown is fed to farmed animals. About 80% of it!. Soy isn't the problem in a plant based world.
Hunting or rearing your own is not sustainable. There is not enough room on the planet. So that doesn't work.
What do you suggest for the people who haven't got a garden or a big enough space to grow their own for all their nutrient requirements.
Meat eaters also eat fruit and veg. I mean they don't just live on meat. Plants take up less room than animals. Way less.
@@amandah5478 Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece, and Loma Linda, California. These are the 5 blue zones. A lot of articles will say nonsense like they are " mostly " plant based, which is to say they eat fish and meat. All these people are very healthy, which is why they live that long. The Inuit eat mostly high fat and meat and they have some of the lowest incidence of heart disease on the planet. People are going carnivore all over the world with incredible results, and they are reversing a lot more than just heart disease. Hunting and raising meat is extremely sustainable, there is an overabundance of space on this planet. Having no space is absolute nonsense pushed by people who's only solution is to kill off more human beings through abortion, contraception, and euthanasia. That's the anti human culture of death talking. There are a lot of animals that can be raised with minimal space like chickens and meat rabbits. Even milk goats and mini Jerseys can be raised with very modest amounts of land. I'm all for fruits and vegetables, but saying these don't occupy space is beyond detached from reality. Soy is certainly fed to cattle, regretfully, bit it's also in all the fake meat products vegetarians and vegans love. They are just willing to look the other way just so they can have fake meat. It strikes me as hilarious that even when vegans say eating meat is bad for you or even morally reprehensible they make their food look and taste like it. The truth is that we have to find, at an individual level, what is good or bad food for us. There are some people who would be killed by a plant based diet for many different reasons. Animal products are absolutely a part of a healthy diet, its all a matter of proportion. Incorporating fasting is also essential.
@@yeshuadvargas5552 Like I said. Blue zones do not matter. Its quality of life, not longevity. Anyone can stay alive a long time with statins, diabetes medication and so on. It's all very complicated.
There is absolutely no carnivore diet that can reverse heart disease. None.
I have not said plants don't take up any room. But, raising animals takes up loads of space. This includes growing all the food the animals need. Which is where the room is taken. Anyone can cruelly cram 100s, 1000s of animals together. But they need food!. That's why the Amazon is being destroyed. Along with other places. It takes a vast amount of space to grow food for these animals. Not everyone can do this, by a long shot. Impossible. Wouldn't work. Work it out. People on planet. All hunting their own. Raising their own. Its absolutely impossible.
Soy. Over 80% is fed to animals. 20 or 80% what's worse. Its 80%. Soy doesn't just get used in vegetarians food. Its used in non vegetarian food too. It's in real meat sausages, burgers and so on. Check! Non vegetarians also eat fake meat products. Dont lay the soy problem with vegetarians. 20% or 80% . Who is making the right choice. Not 80% that's for sure.
The reason fake meat tastes and looks like real meat is because most vegetarians like the taste of meat. They don't eat it because they don't like animal cruelty or they want to save the planet. But they miss it and they like it. So this helps them on their journey.
Meat causes so many problems. Pollution, antibiotic resistance, zoonotic pathogens and health issues. To name a few.
@@amandah5478 Blue zones matter precisely because of quality of life, not just longevity. These people live the longest with the best quality of life. That's the whole point. Carnivore diet and fasting can absolutely reverse heart disease. You are simply misinformed. As to animals, you are simply using a strawman to justify your plant based diet. Look at what people like Joel Salatin or Justin Rhodes are doing with animals and you tell me if those animals are happy or not. Meat eating can be sustainable, just like plant based diets can be unsustainable. Saying that it's animals that take up most of the space in agriculture is just plain ignorance. There are thousands upon thousands of acres in this country that are exclusively used for fruit and vegetables, so that people like you can eat your veg without having to plant your own. If you want to hold on to the delusion that not eating meat makes you virtuous, and you can wag your finger, and moralize to others because you don't eat me, have at it. But it's just that, a delusion.
@@yeshuadvargas5552 literally everything you are saying is wrong. I don't know where you're getting your information. But I'm getting mine from reputable sources, peer reviewed science. Stuff I could show you. I can't figure out if you're having a little joke with me or if you're serious. But there's no point talking to you. There's too much that you believe to be true. That simply isn't true.
You'll get fat if you eat all that stuff on a daily basis...
No! That list is still less than 2000 calories. You will not get fat!
That diet is dangerous. Foods need to have a high calorie density, digest quickly, and maximize appetite. Cold pressed olive oil helps me, but I'm not fat enough. With that diet, I would be underweight. We need to find the best ways to get fat.
