I am surprised that Dr. Wrangham and Chef AJ didn't differentiate between brominated salt and sea salt when salt was mentioned. This was an amazing interview! I have listened to many of Dr. Wrangham's interviews and presentations. He mentioned information here that I have never heard him say elsewhere.
We are so lucky to get these daily shows, so it's always nice to see YOU really enjoy the interview, AJ! 🤗 I bet Richard appreciated all the preparation, it was easy to tell you've read, enjoyed and absorbed his work! This was a fascinating conversation, I'll be reading his book soon ✌️
I felt 100% in agreement with Mandy’s words. Chef AJ, you are such a delight to know. You enrich each of our lives (including the lives & contributions of each of your guests) just by BEING you!!! My heart becomes more expensive with every episode I “participate” in. My world is always enriched for having known the amazing people like Richard! What a blessing you are! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! 💕💕💕🥰💕💕💕
Since I have been inspired to eat vegan I think my way of eating is much more variable, and more creative and very tasty I both eat raw and cooked food. I have come to a point where I snack on raw broccoli and think they taste fantastic
What an incredible interview/discussion. Thank you for bringing this brilliant scientist to us and for having such insightful questions from you and the other Dr.. He seemed to truly appreciate the level of knowledge and questions being asked as did I. Great job getting this guest on👏👏👏👏
I think one of Doug's questions got a bit overlooked in this video... If I'm correct, he was essentially asking how Fire/cooking could be credited for a bigger brain while simultaneously expressing that a bigger brain is necessary for utiluzing Fire/cooking..... Basically a self-contradictory theory, Like pulling on one's own bootstraps?
The modern-day raw foodist processes their food in a blender, which increases caloric absorption greatly. Just think about drinking a six-banana smoothie vs. peeling and eating six bananas through the act of chewing. Same with greens, such as kale. They get ground up in a blender and are made very easy to eat vs. chewing raw kale? I enjoyed this interview very much!
Ohh you should try to get “Tony Wright” on the show, he is the author of “Left in the Dark” by Graham Gynn and Tony Wright. He offers another explanation that throws this theory on its head!
You are such a great interviewer Chef AJ! I can't tell you how much I learn from watching your interviews everyday. It's wonderful to get so many different perspectives on the plant based life. Richard is such an interesting guest, thank you for introducing him to us.
It's all relative. I used to eat alot more processed food and meat and it feels like now I spend alot of my time eating. I can't imagine surviving on a raw food diet, I'd be grazing all the time and I wouldn't have enough money for all that food.
that's good that Chef AJ never desired meat and dairy.. I did like meat and dairy.. yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and even used to drink full fat cow milk. About 25 or 30 years ago, I stopped drinking cow milk and started drinking plant milks, and stopped meat, except for fish and eggs 18 yrs ago, and I just stopped the rest of dairy after my gallbladder was removed 5+1/2 yrs ago. I started gaining weight at age 25 and have been overweight since then, except for 3 yrs, from 2003 - 2006, when I just did green smoothies, took algae, flaxseed oil, probiotics and vitamins and minerals and also ate salads. I lost 40 lbs then, but gradually gained the weight back, eating most anything again. It costs more for the algae and green powder and you have to stay focused and don't let people deter you. I always remember that time, and always try to do that again, but things get in the way, a stressful job, lack of time and money, and then homelessness..

I like that Chef AJ appreciates raw food diets. However the speaker might benefit by meeting some raw food vegans… vegan raw foodies do not stop menstruation and that they also do not eat raw meat. 👍😀
No wonder menstruations aren't as heavy when it comes to raw foodists, improved health does that! And it makes childbirth as easy as it should be: like swallowing an olive.
Where is your proof for your claim? Dr. Wrangham cited objective studies and news reports for his statements. If you take the time to read Catching Fire How Cooking Made Us Human, you will see that he understands how modern people who engage in raw food diets have options and tools that most of our ancestors did not.
Truly fascinating :) and such a pleasant, nice man he seems to be as well :) really enjoyed the interview, and very happy that you did too Chef AJ :D thank you so, so much
Great interview and very interesting content. For me personally if i follow my intuition, fruit is by far the most appealing and enjoyable food for both physically and emotional well-being
There's nothing to debate. Graham can't counter any of the evidence Dr. Wrangham lays out in his books and papers. Didn't you hear those snobby, mudbrained questions Graham wrote in? The whole "debate" would be Graham further making a fool of himself and Wrangham calmly and politely explaining basic biological reality to a middle-aged man. Wrangham has much better things to do. Read his book, Catching Fire, and see that it's set, game, and match.
Hum... I don't think this guy's anecdotes made many raw foodists cry. But sure, you probably made a few cooked meat eaters and processed food lovers happy.
I don't think he brought any argument that hasn't been refuted time and time again since over 50 years ago. And no, today's raw foodists aren't under ideal conditions, imported food loses a lot of its quality, and you're not supposed to use blenders, by chewing your food properly your three different types of saliva glands mix up the proper ratios for optimal digestion down the road. And by the way the large intestine isn't even supposed to absorb nutrients. Also, Eskimos ate tons of different types of mosses
He meant that if anyone attempted a raw food diet with things only grown, caught, and killed locally with nothing shipped or flown in with no electric cooking appliances, a person would likely become emaciated after a time.
@@jean-chritophedesjarlais8435Dr. Wrangham cites data in his presentations that I have seen on TH-cam that raw food diets held over the long term can lead to losing too much weight. Being emaciated is not a healthy thing. Your "seems" proposition doesn't stand up to the studies on people and animals with raw food and cooked food that Dr. Wrangham cites.
@@proudatheist2042 it's a hot topic with a polemic around it. But it's crystal clear to me that most diseases are consequent to overeating and eating junk. Also, fasting doesn't lead to nutritional deficiencies right up the starvation phase, when you'rere nothing but skin and bones. Lastly, Greger has a vid about how studies show that, when you properly adjust for people that got low weight as a result of disease, the lower the BMI the greater the life expectancy.
@@jean-chritophedesjarlais8435yes, the diseases of the modern world are a result of junk food and processed food. Wise fasting can be a useful tool for the right person when it's not overdone. However, not eating for too long does result in nutritional deficiencies.
Hmmm....some of this is a bit of a stretch....many people who live and raise families on a fruit-based raw food lifestyle....(not just sampling an uncooked diet for a week)...would be able to respond to many of these statements that were not very accurate representations people's choices. Do you think it's missing some of the major points? Hopefully listeners can understand that caloric density and sufficiency are achieved in other ways besides cooking, that in many cases raw foods clearly taste (and feel) superior, and that even considering outlawing wholesome vegan diets isn't perhaps the ethical thing to do... But again, it's easy to argue against raw foods when one hasn't taken time to learn or try a fruit-based lifestyle for oneself and seen the ailments one views as normal disappear and heal before one's eyes... I think it's a funny conversation because most people who speak questionably about the raw food lifestyle have never actually legitimately tried to seek understanding or instruction about fruit-based eating very seriously, and they think it's a compromise rather than an even better slice of the pie! Many thanks for the rich subjects for conversation and your joy in what you do!😊🌻🌿🙏❤
Do you have constipation? Do you have trouble sweating? Do your lymph nodes get clogged? I wonder if your body has trouble with its detoxification and waste disposal methods.
"Pretty sure" isn't a definitive statement backed by experimentation. The only way to know for sure what your dog would do is to offer raw meat and McDonald's at the same time to see what s/he chooses.
so the different between fasting and starvation is the conidtion(s) of a choice or none.....If a person was starved , and then was introduced to process food would not be good for them. It would be deadly to them. Calories in is not Calories out to condition(s) of the individual(s). Sorry but not correct Mr. Wrangham.
Your guest has many [unproven] evolutionary theories. To learn the truth of the matter, he would need to watch Yosef Mizrachi’s video on YT entitled Torah and Science.
LOL. The Torah? You think a socially endorsed mythology is going to stand up to logical, objective scrutiny?! 😂 I have read Catching Fire and watched many of Dr. Wrangham's presentations. He has studied his sources to back up his claims. I have listened to The Bible from beginning to end. I took The Hebrew Scriptures as a university level history class. The Old Testament (The Torah) doesn't include any objective references of repeated experiments like what Dr. Wrangham's points do!

Fantastic interview AJ! Richard has such a wealth of information and seems like a very pleasant & kind person.

Came to watch this after hearing you discuss Wrangham with Dr. Lisle. Very cool!
Great guest. I've watched discussion with RW on several science channels. Worth multiple reads/views.

Amazon interview. Really innovative. Excellent interview u did Chef AJ ❤🎉
Fabulous interview!
What a great interview, thank you so much Chef AJ. Such an interesting man and subject matter!
Chef AJ can you post the books you've read over and over, please?
Wonderful Guest! Wow! Thank you for another amazing interview!

I can vouch for weight gain (unwanted) on raw food. I eat no fat just fruit and fruit veg and greens and ended up 10kg heavier ... interesting

Pretty sure my dog will go for raw meat instead of mcd's
