1. What I'm not eating -
- I once did a "Lectin Avoidance Diet." I did it because I was researching how plants "fight back" to protect themselves. And lectins are one of their most potent chemical warfare agents plants use in self defense. It was the combination of plant and ketogenic research which led me to eating nothing but meat.
2. What I have mixed feeling about -
- Scientists finally cracked the wheat genome. Although I would never choose to eat wheat (see above) many people don't have such a luxury. Wheat provides 20% of the world's calories and covers more land than any crop. While there is promise that this discovery can help feed the world, I'm worried about the health ramifications. And recent news suggests these worries are justified.
3. What I couldn't make up if I wanted to -
- You may know I've been working on a book "The Hunt to Become Superhuman." I was using "Superhuman" metaphorically. Well I
thought I was. It turns out there is a vegan who turned to the Carnivore Diet to find his "superhuman." And he found it. The real life Red Power Ranger. He was interviewed on a new podcast, Carnivore Cast, last week. I was also a guest, and talked about everything from muscle building and fat loss to sleep.
4. What list is growing -
5. What quote I've been thinking about -
"Any person capable of angering you becomes your master.
They can anger you only when
you permit yourself to be
disturbed by them."
-Epictetus
6. What elephant is in the room -
- In the midst of "the longest bull run in history," I feel like there is an elephant in the economic room that no one is talking about. Well, at least one person is talking about it. And another person has a solution.
7. What secret skill I think I have -
- There was screaming, crying, and chaos before I whispered.
It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
