Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize economic factors influencing vegetarianism
An estimated 95% of the world's vegetarians are 'economic vegetarians' who would eat more animal products if they had the financial means and access.
Address animal-sourced food shortage to combat food crisis
Humanity's greatest existential crisis is not a lack of food, but an insufficient amount of animal-sourced food in our total food supply.
Reduce healthcare's environmental impact to combat pollution
The US healthcare industry is a significant source of pollution, estimated to contribute 10% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, far more than beef production at 2%.
Understand gorilla digestion: learn from their nutrient strategies
To get necessary nutrients from a high-fiber plant diet, non-ruminant animals like gorillas must eat their own droppings, whereas humans can simply eat red meat for nutrients like B12.
Eliminate diabetes medication to reduce carbon footprint more than vegan diet
An adult with type 2 diabetes who eliminates their medication would reduce their carbon footprint 29% more than if they switched from a high-meat to a vegan diet.
Calculate deaths per calorie to evaluate ethical eating choices
When considering the ethics of eating, a moral obligation is to calculate deaths per calorie, which makes industrially farmed plants a worse choice than well-treated, grass-fed animals.
Protect endothelial glycocalyx for better circulation
The product Arterosil HP is recommended to protect the endothelial glycocalyx, the ultra-thin lining of your 60,000 miles of blood vessels, which is key to circulation.
Understand methane's role in natural carbon cycle versus fossil fuels
Methane from grass-fed cattle is part of a short, natural carbon cycle, unlike the new CO2 added to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels for crop production.
