1. What I'm not eating - - My home state of Missouri became the first state to regulate the word "meat." The ruling is that plant-based and lab-grown "meat-look-a-likes" can't be labeled as meat. I think it's important to for consumers to know what they are getting. And in this case, it's just as important that they can be sure of what they aren't getting as well - like phytic acid.
2. What impulse I had - - On Monday morning I opened my email, facebook, and instagram to find the same
exact question asked by different people on different platforms - "How do you build muscle on a Carnivore Diet?" So on an impulse, I abandoned my Monday morning plans and answered the question.
3. What I learned about plants - - With all the research I've been doing into the perils of plant-based food for human consumption, I've stumbled upon some potential plant benefits. There is a plant medicine
called ayahuasca. And the preliminary research, applications, and impacts on mental health are fascinating.
4. What good books I read -- I read all 4 of Michael Singer's books
this month. The books challenged certain worldviews and beliefs I've held, which is exactly why I loved them. I think a good book should be painful. It should stretch you and force you out of your comfort zone. To reaffirm held beliefs doesn't do much good. Good books raise questions you've never asked, they show you something you haven't seen before. These books did that.
5. Quote I've been thinking about -
"By meditating on death,
we paradoxically become conscious of life.
How extraordinary it is to be here at all.
Awareness of death can jolt us awake to the sensuality of existence.""
-Stephen Batchelor
6. What made a complex concept simple- Bitcoin is often described as "digital
gold" to aid in understanding. But I saw Bitcoin described as "Digital Alcohol" which is a surprisingly great analogy.
7. What appointment I made - - I have 1 set of contacts left. Haven't had my eyes checked in a couple years, but I feel like recently things are a bit blurry. So I scheduled an appointment with my brother. I'm curious if
the vision change could possibly be a result of improved vision from an all-meat diet...and if so, perhaps it will swade another brother to experiment with carnivory.
It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend! Kevin
P.S. If you'd really like to dive into mischief and experiments, you can follow me on Twitter or visit me on Facebook. I tend to stir the pot...
