In fact, I am notorious for immediately researching anything I don't know about. Don't rely on a single You Tube channel for learning. Get into the reading habit, any kind of books you like-you will learn. Look at other channels about things you're interested in. I like Modern TV History, Eating History, even GMM can be educational. Keep your mind active and it will stay young.

"Organic" is so complicated, especially for mid-integration farmers. I'm glad to say that most food on the shelves is fine, but I'm just worried about how the process is done. As it goes, "Organic is fine for the people, but we don't know about the land." But just like I don't expect every person to know about how they get they're water, I don't think they should have to think about about who is making they're food. It overall just feels like a thing people have to look up that people working in the industry already know and should have taken care of.

This needs more upvotes

Check what your country qualifies as organic, in some places theres certifications (like the eu cerification) where it DOES mean its pesticide and herbicide free...

@@___echo___ forgive my US-centric comment, I should have specified. I'm only familiar with US agricultural standards/practices/definitions.

Yah that protein part in the video was straight up wrong. leftover protein gets turned to acid instead of fat? Huh? And since when is twice the RDI (which would be about 104g of protein IIRC) bad for anyone?

@@nickflig yeah i dont get it. doesn't seem that much of a professional to me

You do know protein intake depends on your activity level? 50g of protein is the minimum for "all" regardless of how much workout you do. I need to eat about 120g of protein/day to keep up with my training, so my recommended protein intake is roughly 120g. Double that would be 240g! Do you understand how painful bathroom visits would be? Protein turns acid and you can feel it in your rear. Ever over eaten at a BBQ?

Came here to side eye his protein take too. Who are these people getting too much protein? I struggle to get 100g a day and I weigh 165 lbs.

> It's important to state that the RDA for protein is to prevent malnutrition, not what's optimal. thats just straight up a lie 0.8g/kg is about all you need, yes even if you go to the gym

Very true. Some organic food may actually use more pesticides than certain GMO foods. I do appreciate that he did allude to the fact that only some organic foods are more nutritious and that it doesn’t matter with all foods.

Try, seriously, a very short meal diary. Write down how your food makes you feel 5 minutes 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hour after eating. Then set portions before eating and see how it makes you feel. And nothing replaces actually experiencing that.

To be fair, portion control is BS, even the most disciplined of dieters can't maintain it for more than a few months. As long as those meals across the week contain all the necessary dietary components in a reasonable balance you're probably going to be fine. That's just how humans evolved. There's no reason for most people to eat as often as they do.

@@SmallSpoonBrigade I appreciate your PoV but I beg to differ. I had massive issues with stopping putting food in the gullet constantly, it was borderline out of control, but my self discipline is proper top tier. People that can’t control how much they eat at any one time, or like me used to eat even when not hungry, don’t have the capacity for balance, a majority are driven by extremes in personality e.g all or nothing, cold turkey etc. I have to restrict myself or I massively fall the wagon. So it’s strict & disciplined 6 days a week; once a week eat anything I crave, for me that’s Fri pm. I found a formula that works for me, I appreciate it’s not for everyone.

Exactly the same here@@BungleTheGooner

@@lgolem09lwait can you explain this more

And sleep!

Maybe not smoking and drinking alcohol too

Exactly. I would love to see him backing up that claim

Look up Christopher Gardener interviews on the channel ZOE. He's a nutrition researcher at Stanford. He has been involved in the studies for the actual amount of protein someone needs. And yeah protein deficiency/mal nutrition of that sort doesn't really exist in the developed world. He found that just eating normal foods through out the day leads to people (on average) getting around twice the amount of protein they actually need. Even if you're an elite athlete who needs 4k+ calories, your protein requirement will increase, but you will still double your actual needs without really trying.

I've seen claims on americans eating twice the recommendation and at the same time that most americans do not get enough protein daily. These might be just different lenses? Minimun daily protein intake for non active men is roughly 50g, so double that would be 100g. I'm relatively small, but because of my training i need about 120g protein/day to keep up with my training. So for me double would actually mean 240g protein, which would be wild. It all depends on your activity level. Without training, 120g protein intake would mess with my stomach and make me feel sick. But 50g protein with the training would just leave me tired, hungry and lethardic.

Who website says us and England are not eating enough complete proteins missing B1 and B2 in particular as I remember off the top of my head..

To me, it seems like the questioner is trying to get you to say that junk food( candies cookies pies and sodas) is just as healthy as eating organic (raw vegan nuts fresh vegetables and fruits), which is simply not true.

@@kobe51 Obviously I agree with you. I just like how he side stepped out and got the right information out there.

@@GrumpyOldMan70 I agree with your first post. The question was trying to ask if a calorie is a calorie not if the food is healthy or not. Many people have a misconception that if you eat carbs ie bread, that the calories are going to somehow magically turn into fat rather than knowing that if you are in a surplus of calories you are going to gain weight. Healthy or unhealthy are completely irrelevant to the question that was asked. Just like you originally said, twinkies at the same amount as a healthy diet may keep you at the same weight but is not necessarily good. 1800 calories of twinkies is the same as 1800 calories of a balanced diet.

@@kobe51 it's a question of calorific value vs nutritional value

It's even more complicated than that because of the way calories are calculated in the first place. Many foods have parts that don't get absorbed by the time they are excreted. I'm guessing you already know how the calorie numbers on packaging are derived. So, the claimed calorie information for some foods are overstated. Our bodies don't absorb the same percentage or even exact ingredients that are "burned off" in the method used in the calorie/nutrition calculation process.

And the vast majority of people aren't training at a high level. Sure he could have pointed that out but he only has so much time to talk about this stuff.

Many commenters seem to be confused about the protein intake part, so i think the distinction would have been nice

Yes true. I think if we ask him in more detail he'll get to those points. It's a great discussion to have in the comments tho!

@@codycornell2212 yeah, Vegangelicals like Dr. Katz never mislead in order to pursue their agenda.

That part got me too. I have been gaining weight steadily since my 20s even though I worked out and barely ate (as in, forgot to eat several days in a row regularly). That euphoria would hit and I'd think "yeah, I'm burning calories right, I feel healthy and great, gonna lose weight". Next time I weighed myself +2lbs. Turns out my thyroid was hypoactive and I was inadvertently starving myself bc my body wasn't sending the "normal" warning signs. Thank goodness for finally getting a job with health insurance and getting a physical.

This actually depends on where you live. In the EU or the UK for example, "Organic" is a lot more tightly regulated than the US.

@@lauraqueentint Still uses copper sulphate as pesticide though...

​@corethcerecedo6504 eating organic is better than eating non-organic. Eating non-organic whole grains, fruits and vegetables, is better than not eating whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Grow as much of your own food as you can if you have the privilege of space, time, and weather, and buy the best foods you can afford. None of this is an either/or decision.

Too little? Who? Everywhere I read about how we eat to much and specially to much meat, doctors are concerned because meat is connected to cancer, Alzheimer and heart disease.

He is saying the TLDR version of the last several decades of scientific research. If you are willing to dive into the primary research, Google.Scholar "high protein diet".

@@bighead074 I agree a 100% with you. But I don't like the oversimplification of such a controversial topic. For example how much is too much protein? For years a nutritionist told me I should never eat more than 50gr of protein. 2 years ago I meet a bariatric and he immediately told me I should eat more protein. I asked how much more 60gr? 70gr? He told me 160gr should be enough. Now I feel great and have gained a lot of muscle.

If you are inactive protein shouldn't be on your list of things to focus on. Most people are inactive in the US. If you aren't in training of any sort it's pointless to have a lot of protein.

yes, FDA has plenty of loop holes

Yes. They're called OMRI-listed products. OMRI stands for Organic Materials Review Institute. Some materials are benign, and some are not. It's important to evaluate each material on a case-by-case basis.

In some cases, organic farms use _more_ pesticides than non-organic farms do because the pesticides that are allowed in organic farming tend to be weaker ones

"Organic" agriculture uses more land, more water, and is more damaging to the environment than conventional. Even if the "+20% nutrients" claim were true. That's not worth +100% price.

Human civilization was built on gluten, demonizing it on such a wide scale has been one of the most bizarre food trends I've ever seen.

It’s also interesting, since that gluten fad began there, a 2015 Nielsen survey of 30,000 adults in 60 countries worldwide found that 21% of individuals surveyed rated gluten-free as a “very important” attribute when making food purchasing decisions. There have been a lot of studies where people with self-reported gluten sensitivity, were given either real gluten or placebo - and ‘oddly’ enough, a whole lot of those in the placebo control group reported bloating and all the other symptoms that these anti-gluten fads claim any amount of gluten does to your body. It was really interesting and fascinating to see how they actually managed to ‘trick’ their own body and mind into displaying symptoms, because they thought they were given gluten - which only goes to show how powerful placebo - or ‘nocebo’ - can actually be in some cases.

Gluten free foods tend to be a bit more processed and I agree with that but mineral deficiencies? Never heard of that. I have celiac and I have been eating gluten free for years.

@@EmDaMoThe nocebo effect

@@andreew1488 A lot of grains contain such minerals, so people who decided to be gluten free needlessly did not do so under their doctor's advice, and thus didn't seek (or know about) the mineral-rich foods to turn to instead.

100% spot on

@@kyleroberts1276respectfully you have no knowledge about nutrition

According to the video and the reliable scientific evidence, minimizing your reliance on animal products is a surefire way to increase your health and longevity. I wouldn't say that's a simple "you do you." Meat is profitable and a gigantic industry exists to ensure that Americans especially are eating more, less healthy meat than ever before. Just decreasing your meat intake is a boon for your health, not even eliminating it altogether. Also, warming something in a microwave vs an oven has overall negligible differences to your budget. Based on my cursory search, using a microwave is about half as expensive as a gas oven, and an electric oven is a bit more expensive than that. We're talking a difference of $100 _per year_. While that is no small sum to many, you can save a lot more money than that by purchasing your grains in bulk like rice, lentils, beans, etc. I think the primary issue is food industry propaganda and lack of education around nutrition. You can eat healthy for cheap, and as a matter of fact, it's cheaper to eat healthy in many ways. What it is not, is easier. It's far easier to microwave something or eat ultra-processed food. Not to mention that it is provably addictive. We've got it rough.

The animals don't have a choice. Meat is murder.

Legumes are really cheap, and an amazing food group. Also, I have found that you can save a lot of money buying frozen veggies and berries. Most processed foods will be cheaper, but you get what you pay for, wich is little nutrition, and a food that doesn't keep you full

@@mathieurenaud2254 If you look at the weightcost, whole foods are much cheaper than anything wrapped up.

​@naught0 Haven't you heard of a food desert? If you factor travel into the cost, your suggestions aren't that helpful.

It entirely depends on how active you are and what you're doing. The immobile office worker who doesn't go to the gym doesn't need that much protein vs somebody who's a construction worker or hitting the gym every day. Same thing goes for carbs and fat. The numbers are different for everybody. But there's a lot of immobile people scarfing down tons of burgers and hot dogs at barbeque. So I would think he was referring to those sorts of people.

Not an expert nor is english my first language. But I'd say that nutrietionists do the science behind with all the biochemical interactions, so the theory. While a dietician applies those insights to people's lives and help to improve their diet. But they are closely related and probably have more overlap in their training.

@@yarion4774I’m a dietitian and we definitely do learn the biochemical, physiological, psychological and social impacts of food. We have quite extensive theory and placements. The difference is that dietitians are regulated and held to a code of ethics as we provide medical nutrition therapy. It’s why we all have our own insurance. Nutritionists don’t have to do a regulated degree, they don’t even have to study to call themselves that, and they aren’t *supposed* to give medical nutrition therapy advice, yet some do.

@@hjoy624 thanks for the insight. So not really a distinction on the training side but rather regarding where to apply the knowledge professionally.

@@yarion4774training yes because you don’t get placements during education to be a nutritionist.

Dieticians have a degree. nutritionists just go get a certification. You can be a nutritionist in 3 months, with only 3 months of education, depending on your course. Dieticians have been college educated for years.

I'm also skeptical about the evidence that, as he claims, shows organic produce has 20% more micronutrients. That is a very broad statement and I'm guessing the supposed evidence is much more nuanced.

​@@AreYouABadfishToo Even if that claim were true, it wouldn't justify it being 50-100% more expensive. Only considering a dollar-to-nutrient ratio, organic is worse.

Nutrition was part of my health class...

He has a lot more wrong than just that. Confirm with a primary source before you take any of this guy's advice.

Sage advice indeed

Yeah, that's where he lost me. "All plant foods contain all the essential amino acids" is such a false statement. 12:01

YT channel has 3 free books by retired "Dr. John Campbell" (nursing PhD). British. Just fyi. Before covid he was also doing vids on nursing / medicine. He had a world wide fan base. ("I'd never have passed my == whatever == tests without your help.).. He's been focusing on Covid since the epidemic started.

It also surprised me when he said that an average american eats too much protein. Now I don't know what an average american diet is, but the recommended daily amount of protein for someone who is not working out is around 0.8g/kg of body mass. For someone who is 80kg that would be 64g of protein or an equivalent of 300g of meat. If on the other hand you are working out, your daily protein intake should double that. Getting enough protein becomes stupidly difficult and basically unfeasable without supplementation. And on that topic, I first tried to supplement with vegan protein powder (I'm not vegan, simply wanted to balance out my diet a bit) but after banging my head enough regarding exactly what you said, if these plant sources have enough of all essential amino acids, I decided to simplify my life and just switched to isolated whey and I'm golden now.

Fair comment I’d say. I tried a vegan diet for a while (for health reasons rather than animal welfare, sorry) and while I know it can be a complete diet, hitting my required protein numbers every day (as a runner/cyclist) took a lot of thought and involved more food than I wanted to eat some days. I came to the conclusion that I was more likely to hit my recommended number with a small amount of good quality meat/fish/eggs at least a few times a week. As you say, this isn’t a knock against veganism, just something to be aware of if anyone is considering it as a diet

This👍

Definitely agree with this--so many vegans I know have poor nutrition. EAT BEANS, PEOPLE. Beans+rice and beans+nixtamalized corn (eg. masa and hominy) will give you a complete protein.

A lot of misinformation in this video….

He isn't vegan, he's primarily plant based

@@therealgrimreaper68 Dr. Katz: "Dinner is vegan more often than not." "I'm vegan most of the time now." he eats poultry once a year on Thanksgiving. so... almost a Vegan. lol.

There is a show on Netflix about the blue zones that he talked about and the people on the Japanese island said to eat until you're 80% full. So I would eat slower so that you can keep track of how you feel and not let yourself get to that uncomfortable feeling.

Idk if this helps you but for me, a meal isn't always just solely eating, it includes me drinking some water, esp bc I don't hydrate myself enough and a lot of times, you're more hungry because of ur dehydration for me :) I also think keeping little snacks and smaller meals helps for me? You don't have to strictly stick to 3 meals per day because then you're limited and it stresses you out anyways. Give yourself some leniency too, especially bc u can't always control every aspect of your life. As for meals outside, I actually look forward more to the leftovers when I'm not able to finish it off! Either way, it means I'll be able to eat it when I feel hungry again, so I think a lot of it contributes to my sense of food safety? And as for "feeling full" its definitely a challenge, but for me, I can personally visualize my hunger levels and usually, my sense of fullness is like, right at around 80 percent? But on terms of feeling things, if you measure fullness by your stomach hurting, you can try to make yourself more mindful by noticing when it feels like its about to breach that fullness and wait a bit to confirm it? Sometimes I get lethargic and I have no motivation to keep eating even if I know I'm not finished. Good eating habits are hard, but I hope you find a method for you that works!

I define it as feeling comfortable, cheerful (at least relative to overall mood) and energised! I’m a very slow eater and I think that helps me judge it. I’ll give a very thorough explanation below. To get an idea of what full feels like physically for you I suggest paying attention to breakfast (I suggest this because it’s normal to feel sleepy after lunch in the early afternoon and to wind down in the evenings, but maybe it’s different for others? So feel free to adjust.) Start paying attention to how that meal makes you feel. If you feel kind of like one would after stuffing themselves at Christmas and want a nap after eating, even though it’s not during a low energy time of day, then that’s too much. You should be a bit hungry at lunchtime, but if you’re miserable, hangry, or tired then you ate too little. Once you’ve figured out the balance for breakfast hopefully you’ll have an idea of how your tummy feels physically when you’ve had enough! Some people find just giving themselves 20min to digest helps them decide if they’re still hungry or not but it’s not a good rule of thumb for everyone. Even if my tummy still feels very uncomfortably full I’ll also feel hungry again by then, meanwhile others have learnt to ignore hunger cues. That’s why I pay attention to my energy levels - you want to eat more until you maximise them but not so much you’re tired - and that physical feeling of fullness, which I describe as full but not stretched. Also if you eat until you’re full but it doesn’t tide you over to the next meal you might need to eat more frequently, like stop skipping breakfast or have a snack or whatever. But this is only general advice!!! For those who overeat to the point of discomfort the practical side of portion sizes is more straightforward. You won’t need to restrict or overcompensate, practically speaking if you simply eat until satisfied instead of eating until discomfort or pain you’ll come right! For those who were undereating the practical side of finding a good portion size is more complicated. Many of these people will need to gradually stretch themselves and eat to the point of physical discomfort for some time until they can comfortably eat a healthier meal size again. Some might need to start by introducing simpler foods, like what sick people eat. Others might even need medical supervision to safely start eating again or start eating more. This also doesn’t account for people that have tummy problems of some kind and feel bad when they eat. This can happen to anyone due to undereating or overeating or eating too fast but obviously there’s many possible causes that require medical attention so it’s definitely worth trying to find a good Dr if eating makes you feel bad or uncomfy!!! It’s also important to mention that the male hormone cycle is 24hrs so their eating patterns are generally more consistent day to day, but the pre-menopausal female cycle is monthly and it’s common for appetite to change a little according to the stage of the cycle! And anyone’s appetite can fluctuate if their activity levels fluctuate or with age (e.g. growth spurt) or even with health events. That’s why learning to listen to your body’s signals is so helpful! It helps us adapt and can give us signals about other aspects of our lives

Oh I forgot to mention, undereating and some diets can cause euphoria like this guy said, as can other things, so I expect that would make it difficult to assess the impact of food on energy. Which is why I say it’s generic advice! I think this intuitive approach works very well for those who are a little unsure of what’s right for them but for those who’ve really messed with their diet, especially if they’ve dieted and restricted, it can be hard to get in tune with the body’s signals again and often more professional guidance is needed!

Feeling full is not feeling uncomfortable. Feeling full should be feeling satisfied. As in, you dont necessarily feel your stomach bloated with food, or even have pain as you are too much. Its the feeling of "I dont want to eat anymore, Im satisfied for now" but not necessarily with a full belly. This is almost impossible nowadays, since processed foods have high fats, sugars and salt, which when combined, cause our brains to become addicted and crave for it. That's why you will always want a dorito after you finish one, why one burger isnt enough even though it has enough calories to last you weeks.

Assuming that you don't eat that for every meal or every day, you're probably fine. I am planning to have vegan chicken, pre-made thai curry sauce, and gluten-free naan (so, highly processed stuff) for dinner if it makes you feel any better.

Just get some exercise and be physically active. And get some fiber.

That can actually be a healthy meal if you adjust it a bit. Swap the bun out for whole wheat bread. The fries are potatoes at the end of the day, and have complex carbs, fiber, and some protein. The oil does have healthy fat (ideally you should go to an establishment that fries in peanut oil), tho some saturated fat is a given even with healthy oils high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat (the good fat you want most of your fat intake to be). As long as you're not eating anything else with much saturated fat for the day, you're fine.

I had a short rib for dinner tonight. I'm eating seedless green grapes right now, but I did have some candy too. And in my freezer I have a rolled rump roast, along with a whole bunch of 1-pound pkgs of ground beef. It's what is left of the quarter-cow I bought back in February. 245 pounds of beef.

Nah that's fine haha. If u were eating a twinkie and sour patch kids that would be a different story

me, after a coffee

While it is true that ketone diets have not been proven to have an effect on the health or longevity of the masses, RCT is design to find out an effect or lack of effect on the masses and is not able to figure out whether the effect is in individuals. Dr. Katz claims that the ketone diet is not good for healthy people because it was used to treat epilepsy, but this is how the ketone diet was discovered and would be a poor basis for denying the ketone diet. Most believe that the ketone diet is partially effective for weight loss and diabetes because it simultaneously restricts calories, but the effects of ketones themselves on the brain and health are not yet clearly understood. I hope the ketone diet works for you.

Or, you do your own research? for god's sake, didn't you go to school and university? You should be able to do a simple research regarding artificial sweeteners. Just read a few research paper in reputable science Journals and you get your answer. You should not rely on random people to spoon feed you information 🙄

@@lilied1 Have you ever heard the Aristotle quote, “It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought, without accepting it”? There’s nothing wrong with hearing different opinions. I’m surprised you would assume that I’m basing all my knowledge on artificial sweeteners on this guy. Btw, this isn’t just some random dude, a licensed nutritionist is definitely a credible source.

hes wrong tho

Agreed! He adds the nuances very well - eg. For the girl diet -- he explains it in an encouraging way!

Try to add more calories with healthy foods. Fast food has calories, but the salt and fat isn't good to overconsume. Athletes trying to add weight will often use grains to add calories (rice, cereals, etc), since they're easy to eat a lot of, and not too unhealthy. Good luck with your gains!

Beans+nixtamalized corn (eg. masa, hominy) or beans+rice are a good way of getting a complete protein and the fiber your body needs on a budget. I think beans+rice is more universally available, but wanted to include nixtamalized corn because I think it's such a cool process.

Cabbage tends to be cheap, at least where I live, and could fill in the "vegetable" portion of diet. Canned veggies are as good as fresh and tend to be a little cheaper. Off the top of my head, apples and bananas tend to be the cheapest fruit. Canned fruit works too, just rinse off the syrup. I'll be honest, I don't know if these are readily available in food deserts, but I hope it may be a help to some people.

Legumes (beans and lentils), frozen veggies and berries, whole grain, cheaper fresh fruitsa and veggies. Processed food is cheap, but you get what you pay for. It is not filling, and it has little nutrition. Therefore it doesn't save money long term.

Stop spending your money at McDonalds and actually go to a produce store.

@@ninakore Are you saying that we should stop telling poor people to go to McDonald's? Not sure who your intended audience is.

Also the study about Americans eating too much protein. Serious bs right there.

This 'nutritionist' seems to have a really poor attitude to evidence.

Cambridge University, 2014, "Higher antioxidant and lower cadmium concentrations and lower incidence of pesticide residues in organically grown crops: a systematic literature review and meta-analyses," covered 343 different publications (peer-reviewed) about the topic, TL;DR Studies are split but leaning organic is better.

@@Simon_Saidyep he also claims that there are more nutrients in plantbased food than in animal food. Animal based foods are the most nutrient dense food on the planet, animal organs, eggs etc are litterly natures multivitamin

4/5 comments here not giving any of backup or basis when claiming he is wrong. Typical af.

Animal protein is high in sulfur containing amino acids which causes sulfuric acid to form in the blood when it is broken down. When this happens, your body leaches calcium out of your bones to counteract the acidity and this can lead to lower bone density later in life. Too much iron has the same effect as well.

as a nutrition & dietetics intern, protein can be acidic as excess protein might led increase creatinine levels since protein can go into nitrogenous waste as in urea that increase in urea can be considered as acidic and might affect the condition of kidneys as well.

Why? Because he says what you want to hear?

Reminder to all the upset skeptics and other people questioning this guy in the comments: Nutritionist is not a legally protected title. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Dietician is the legally protected title that requires proof of education/qualification. Youre watching a video with the expert labeled as a Nutritionist You should not be surprised or offended if he says something you think is wrong or misleading, he was never burdened to prove he knows what hes talking about.

@@a156244 what do you mean ?

And many vitamin molecules are larger than carbohydrate molecules.

nice i will try to see some carbohydrates in the microscope next time. im so excited to find them @@CliffSedge-nu5fv

The main issue with non-nutrient dense foods is mainly the inability to maintain the blood sugar at a steady level. When you eat poorly not only you will feel hungry sooner, but processed foods cause your blood sugar to spike and rapidly fall causing this unshakeable feeling if having to eat in order not to faint. High sugar diet = straight road to diabetes.

Why not? It is possible to see single atoms with a powerful enough microscope. Either way, that is not what it means to be micro- vs macro-nutrient in the first place. Wired's "nutritionist" is wrong on a lot of things here.

Organic foods promote better soil health in farms which means farms can continue to produce food for decades and decades. Because of modern conventual practices with potent herbicides/pesticides, farms often go out of business very quickly because they have destroyed their land completely rendering it unable to grow any kind of food. The toxic chemicals completely destroy the microbiome that produces and upkeeps fertile soil. This is a big issue in poor countries because farms that grow food for export suddenly cannot produce anymore, leading to broke farmers , villages, and hungry people. Also the toxic chemicals poison waterways leading to health crises and ruin land that grows food for the locals. So buying organic is important not just for your own health but for the health of the farms and the people who depend on the water that runs through that land.

I was thinking the same thing. He's comparing apples and oranges, or humans and horses/gorillas to be exact.

Also a gorilla has the genetics to have larger muscle bellies and more muscle mass overall as a baseline. Humans on average do not. It's like saying, eat like a turtle to grow a shell. It makes no sense.

A lot of misinformation in this video…..

@@dovenbeats2took a while but finally finding these comments down here. There’s a lot of misinformation in here.

Nutritionists don't actually need to know what they are talking about. Anyone may call himself a "nutritionist" while not really knowing any of the science. It's like the nonsense he said about "organic" produce. It's simply not true.
