Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the show.

Have you heard that eating animal protein causes cancer or that you'll save the world

if you only give up hamburgers forever.

Despite dutifully reducing our consumption of animal protein for decades,

rates of obesity and chronic disease have skyrocketed.

In the face of relentless anti-meat propaganda, what if the blanket advice to follow

strict plant-based diets is actually accelerating rates of obesity and disease? When I gave up meat as a young athlete for the sake of health and the environment,

my results were abysmal. I lost muscle, gained fat, lacked energy, recovered poorly, and my race performance suffered.

Since plant-based fake meats and meat substitutes are incomplete proteins that are not

well absorbed or utilized by our bodies. Avoiding high quality animal protein can lead to poor outcomes and health and performance for kids and adults alike.

Meatless Mondays may sound virtuous, but they're not saving the environment or

solving the obesity epidemic as many are led to believe. Indiscriminately blaming

cattle for the sins of fossil fuels and industrial agriculture is a mistake.

We all want to save the world, but the truth is that we can't eat our way out of a climate crisis.

Whether you're raising animals or growing crops, industrial agriculture isn't friendly to the environment or our health.

Prioritizing the health of your body and the planet requires that we source real food according to the laws of nature,

prioritizing regenerative agriculture and pasture-raised animals

over the products of concentrated feedlots and industrial mono crops.

When it comes to health and performance,

eating high quality protein from healthy animals

is one of the most powerful weapons we have

to fight obesity, muscle wasting, and premature aging.
