Nuances of Healthy and Unhealthy Fats with Practical Tips

Eating fat is essential to lowering body visceral fat and staying healthy, but not all fats are healthy. Over the years, I have written extensively about ketogenic diets and the critical role of fat in our health. Recently, I shared an article on the benefits of being fat-adapted, outlining compelling reasons and practical tips for readers.  One of the most common questions I received from new…

A study published this week in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition can at least put one diet debate to rest: the climate impact of our choices. Our food system is responsible for a third of global emissions—animal agriculture alone makes up 14%—and our diets could have a significant impact on what those emissions look like in the future. ... The diets with the lowest carbon footprint—vegan, at 0.7 kg of CO2, and vegetarian at 1.2 kg—were also generally healthier than their carbon intense, meat heavy alternatives, says lead author Diego Rose, the nutrition program director at Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, calling it “a win-win for the environment and nutrition.” ... The report went on to note that were a third of the nation’s omnivores, who accounted for 86% of survey respondents, to give up meat on any given day, it would be equivalent to eliminating 340 million passenger vehicle miles-worth of carbon emissions. If a third gave up meat for a year, it would amount to 4.9% of total U.S. emissions reduction goals under the Paris climate accord, while substantially improving nutrition quality. “Giving up meat entirely is the easiest thing to do to improve your [carbon] footprint and your health,” says Rose. “But almost everyone can do better by just eating less of it.”

"eat this don't eat that more meat less meat plant-based omnivore carnivore vegan insects protein shakes keto paleo intermittent fasting eat this don't eat that eat that don't eat this" HOW ABOUT I EAT THINGS I LIKE AND WANT TO EAT IN A WAY THAT ENSURES MY SURVIVAL AND DON'T TREAT FOOD LIKE SOMETHING TO OPTIMIZE THE BENEFITS OF OR PUNISHMENT OR A CHORE OR A REFLECTION OF MY MORALITY

Carnivore diet: "Humans are HYPERCARNIVOROUS! We should not be eating that FOUL POISON known as vegetables!! Spinach and berries are BAD FOR YOU!!! Eat this barely seasoned slab of meat with no garlic and no spices."

Paleo diet: "We as a species NEED to eat like we did 10,000+ years ago! Dairy and bread are EVIL and are the root causes of modern illnesses! CURE your depression and ALL your physical woes by eliminating that horrid gunk!!"

Keto diet: "Carbs are KILLING YOU! They're killing everyone you've ever known and LOVED! Get rid of them or die of a THOUSAND maladies!! Fruit, pasta, bread? They're all plotting to MURDER you and your family!!"

Fad diets and diet culture can take a long walk off a short pier. Life is hard enough without having to force yourself to give up everything you enjoy. Humans are omnivores and have been cultivating grains and using dairy to help ourselves survive for millennia. Not eating a certain food group is not going to cure mental illness.

You just admitted that the plains people were traditionally omnivores. They didn't just gather seasonally either. They farmed vegetables as well.

Humans have never been carnivores. Early Homo sapiens was an omnivore. Homo heidelbergensis was an omnivore. Homo erectus was an omnivore. Homo habilis was an omnivore. Australopithecus was an omnivore. Primates are generally omnivores.

There is a reason we call the earliest human societies hunter-GATHERERS. It was never just hunting.

All these trendy diets are bull;shit, be they carnivore, vegan, keto, or even paleo. The "natural human diet" is just whatever is edible and available.

"I just cant give up meat."

No. You can. You are just unwilling.

This is literally the best steak I've ever had 🥰

Why The Phrase "Everyone Can/Should Go Vegan" is Oversimplifying and Damaging.

1. It ignores disabled people.

Yes, your friend who's disabled is vegan and they're doing fine. No, this does not mean every disabled person can or should go vegan. Some of us have specific dietary needs like high-protein or keto that are hard to fulfill on a vegan diet. Some of us have sensory issues that limit us to certain (likely non-vegan) foods on bad days. Some of us just don't have the time or energy to cook for ourselves all the time. Vegan prepared food is becoming more available, but it's still not as widespread as non-vegan prepared food. Guilting disabled people for what they eat is ableism. You don't know what's going on in someone's personal life and it's completely out-of-line to question people's disabilities in order to deem them "worthy" of eating animal products.

2. It ignores houseless and extremely low-income people.

Yes, your food bill might have gone down when you became vegan. Many people's would. However, some people don't have the ability to do weekly shopping for food. Some people are barely scraping by, some people aren't scraping by. Chicken and turkey breast sandwiches are relatively allergen-free (as opposed to cheese or nut butter) and cheap so organizations that work with homeless people hand them out sometimes. If you're hungry, you're not going to turn that down. If you're going to a food pantry for your food and receive a can of tuna or chicken, you're going to use it. If you're starving and you find a five-dollar bill on the ground you're going to buy the cheapest fast food sandwich you can get, which is usually a hamburger. If someone buys or brings you food while you're struggling financially, you're likely not going to turn it down because it has meat in it. And you shouldn't. Animals deserve to be healthy and cared for, but people don't deserve to suffer to achieve that.

3. It ignores the root cause of animal suffering, which is capitalism.

The problem isn't that we eat animals. We're omnivores, it's what we do. The problem is that profit has been deemed more important than the welfare of the animals. Almost everyone wants animals to be treated better, but they're either a) unaware of how bad things are or b) unable to afford/prepare vegan food on a regular basis. Vegan fast food isn't really there yet, neither is vegan frozen food. And it doesn't need to be, because it's not inherently unethical to eat what we were designed to eat.

It's easy to target individuals. Individuals don't sue you. Individuals don't silence you. The worst you'll get from individuals is a hearty "fuck off". But you aren't going to get every single individual to cut meat out of their diet. It's just not possible, and moreover, it's not necessary. Eating meat isn't morally good or bad, it's neutral, in the same way a dog killing a squirrel is neutral. The ethical problem is when animals are given the bare minimum, and sometimes below that, in the name of profit.

Humans have the ability to understand the suffering of other animals, which means that we are in the unique situation of being able to improve the life and death of our prey. We can form mutually beneficial bonds with other animals in which we protect them from more brutal/painful predation and provide for all their needs in exchange for humanely killing and eating them when the time comes. That should be the goal of animal welfare, a goal that's being ignored in favor of trying to achieve something that just isn't going to happen.

“The human body can store only about 24 hours worth of glucose, the quickest, most accessible form of fuel. Unless you consume carbohydrates, your body is incapable of making more. When your natural supply of glucose is depleted, your cells turn to the next best thing and begun burning fat for fuel. Your system goes into a deeply restorative state known as KETOSIS.” Dr. Axe

No fuck it actually I will say it

(uh I'm kinda discussing militant vegans) not that I want those sorts of folks interacting. My blog. I say what I want lol

Also no fucking radfems or TERFs or TIRFs on this goddamn post please.

Not everyone can just go vegan. It's certainly possible to minimize harm, you know, do research and support local and well-intentioned farms etc

It's a fact and it's incredibly ableist and kinda classist and racist to ignore it in your activism.

The majority of people can't and it's okay if you try and find that your body literally cannot handle it. It's alright. You're not a monster or a bloodmouth or a "carnist".

You're just a person trying to survive.

In my opinion the food chain is beautiful and disrupting it is disrupting nature. And nature will fuck you up.

But you know, that's a different debate.

Not everyone can do everything and that includes diets. For example, I can't do keto. Like. I literally cannot. I will be very badly harmed lol same for if I tried a vegan diet. My body would not respond well.

I just don't like the idea that just everyone can go vegan just because it's supposed to be morally superior. It's not, but again, completely different argument. Not that it even matters. Morals are relative and the amount of times I've seen real issues like rape and racism appropriated for animal activists...

It's not what's necessarily best for everyone's body. Some people would literally die on a vegan diet. It's just...

Not possible for everyone. So stop acting like it is. If that's what you want to do, if that's what is important to you, that's okay. But don't act like everyone needs to do it or they're literally scum. We're all just people with our own beliefs and thoughts and ideals and bodies.

I'm not actually trying to start shit but it's weird to assume everyone can just abandon their omnivorous anatomy and become an herbivore without any consequences or health issues or like. Risks. Like sure occasionally eating a vegan or vegetarian meal is cool! But eliminating essential food groups from your diet and replacing them with supplements is not doable for many (not all, of course, and if that's what you want and what your heart and mind tell you to do, do it!) and is also incredibly expensive not to mention insufficient for a lot of people nutritionally.

Not even going into the whole thing about plants. I could go on all day about plants.

Anyway I've just been thinking about this a bit lately. Idk wanted to get it off my chest somewhere. Nobody else wants to talk about it but I'm sick of the idea that everyone can just go vegan because there's no reason not to when there are so many reasons a vegan diet could be a bad idea or just not feasible for somebody. I don't care if my friends or family or whatever are vegan lol like. Just don't act superior and don't try to "convert" people, you know...? Raise awareness, support people who minimize harm maybe? I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy.
