I did not read the book. But I kind of do not feel there is much help in it for me. I only see how people seem to be focused heavily on meat. I really do not get this.

Since plants have so much more evolution behin them and can usually be grown without use of antibiotics. Clearly many plants are grown with heavy use of pesticides and herbicides. But thanks to lables or those with the means to homegrow, can make sure to use very grounded forms of plant farming.

And from most articles I read and documentaries I read, it seems quiet consensus to eat mostly plants with some addition of meat rarely. So I really do not see how a book says to fix health and putting only meat on the cover. Or is this only clickbait nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgkklh5m ?

I'm pretty sure even plant-based folks would find something useful in the book. It shows how the govt has subsidized incredibly poor-quality foods (sugary cereals, for instance) at the expense of real food. Even if you are not partial to animal foods you'll learn about how actual food - basically stuff that can't be faked - are a problem in a fiat economy that makes them more and more expensive.

I don't think the cover is clickbait. Saifedean is a carnivore and has done a fairly deep dive on nutrition himself. You might find interviews with his brother - a doctor - interesting if you want to look more into this.

[The book might make you question what you think is the "consensus:" who funds it, who publicizes it, who benefits from it. But I believe that you and I already had that conversation around vaccines so maybe I should stop here 😂]

Thanks for your take. I think I rather put my trust in peer reviewed studies and metastudies or people which argument mostly based on such papers.

Dr. Andrew Huberman I really like for health questions. So I can believe, that people who are fans of nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgkklh5m can find value for themselfes in his books. I just believe there is books with higher signal/noise ratio. This is all. So I rather invest my time in what I hope to have the highest signal/noise ratio and to not read to much into others.

Probably the Bitcoin Standard is a good read. This one I liked really.

I appreciate your gracious responses 🙂

You still seem to be under the impression that the point of the book is to recommend what foods to eat. It is not. The point is to look at how fiat poisons our food supply, and Lysiak's background in investigative journalism is perfect.

Huberman does some great work!
