 Bezos Earth Fund Invests $6o Million In Centers To Improve Alternative Meats Another “philanthropist” billionaire investing millions of dollars to “fight climate change” [emoji849] Apparently, in March, Jeff Bezos pumped $60 MILLION into fake meat research. More specifically, “sustainable protein” or lab-grown meats. Bezos Earth Fund Vice Chairman Lauren Sánchez said, “We need to invent our way out of climate change” Here’s what I think… THIS IS A TRAVESTY WAITING TO HAPPEN. We cannot invent our way out of climate change. This modern-day hubris thinking we can play God and create “Frankenmeats” is only going to make things worse and come with repercussions for our health and the health of the planet. Simply put, the further away we move from nature, the more problems we get. Hippocrates once said, “Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature.” Smart guy because if we look at recent history, this notion holds true. Post-war agricultural innovations like synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and GMOs felt like a utopian breakthrough at the time that would solve the world’s problems by creating agricultural abundance. But as we now know, this only led to devastating consequences for our health and the environment. Soil degradation, declining ecosystems, long-term health effects like cancer and biodiversity loss… Today, I fear we are about to repeat history... You have highly influential individuals like Bezos and Gates backing fake meat as a sustainable revolution, but… "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." – George Santaya Meat grown in a petri dish is NOT real meat. It’s made in cell culture in a lab. All sorts of problems can arise from meat grown in a petri dish... It’s almost certainly going to cause health issues for humans like autoimmune issues, damage to the gut and who knows what else… It’s going to have an inferior nutrient profile to meat from a cow that’s eaten grass in nature. And it’s going to be WORSE for the environment. There are multiple studies proving that lab grown meat is way harsher and more damaging to the environment in terms of total carbon footprint and energy costs. So why in the world would you eat lab-grown meat when you could just eat real, nutrient-rich meat like your ancestors have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years??? I don’t know why they are pushing this so damn hard, especially when we should be allocating this money into scaling regenerative agriculture which actually has a NET POSITIVE effect on the planet (and aligns with nature!). But fake lab meat is coming… Production has already begun. The FDA has started approving companies to begin selling this science experiment to you and your family. And you better believe guys like Bezos are gonna try and convince you that it’s better for you and the planet. Which, ladies and gentlemen, is…BOVINE EXCRIMENT! So keep eating the most sought-after foods by humans. Meat, organs, fruit, honey, raw dairy. Paul Salidino Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eating out can be a challenge especially if you are not totally committed to begin with. I used to think it was going to be an issue in the beginning but I’ve found that looking up the restaurants menu ahead of time prepares me to make better decisions and it’s real easy to just order the meat and either skip the sides or take them home for the dogs or chickens. If on the chance everyone want to go somewhere that doesn’t have anything I can eat, such as an Italian restaurant then I have no problem with just drinking water and enjoying the company I’m with.

I don’t think this is off the wall and would make sense if we think of vitamin C in the conventional realm of the SAD. To start with, scurvy is not caused by lack of vitamin C. It was caused in the sailors by the high carb diet they ate and the lack of fresh meat. In fact it was reported that it was common for the sailors to get scurvy and not the officers because the officers were the only ones that got the meat. The reason they were able to combat the scurvy with eating limes was because of exactly what you said that it was repairing and fighting infection. So the C was a medicine not a cure. The reason that no carnivore needs large amounts of vitamin C is because when we are metabolically healthy there are very little infections or issues that need to be addressed by taking C. So little is needed. We do get some vitamin C from eating meat albeit small but when that’s all you need it’s sufficient. Now if I were to contract a viral infection, you bet, I’m going to be taking a vitamin C supplement until I’ve got it wiped out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang boy, you are really socking away that raw red meat. So how are you feeling these days Louis? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was taking LMNT and I liked it but I switched to KetoChow because it was more cost effective for me. I was taking electrolytes because the conventional wisdom in the carnivore community was that it was a good thing to do, especially in the beginning because we tend to flush out a higher amount of minerals when eating this way. I have since stopped using KetoChow because my last bloodwork panel showed that I was low on sodium and high on potassium. High potassium is a bad thing for someone who has a heart condition. That and the potassium was causing me to lose too much sodium. So I stopped the supplement and six week later my potassium and sodium were back to normal. Now I just continue to salt my food to taste and I add a 1/4 teaspoon of Redmonds to my water nearly every time I fill my tumbler. I probably fill my 20oz tumbler up 5 or 6 times a day. The only other liquid I drink is one cup of tea in the morning and I will end that ritual in the near future. I do take a magnesium complex supplement but not for the minerals but for a totally different issue concerning my bowels. It’s now been 9 or 10 weeks since I stopped taking electrolytes and I haven’t noticed any difference in how I feel. We are all different with different needs but even after nearly 400 days of being carnivore I’m still learning and experimenting. What works for me and what my needs are may be different from yours. Especially of age, what we eat and even the environment in which we live. Try something for a few weeks or months and see if you notice any difference. Stop for the same amount of time and see it there’s any difference. Get lab work done to confirm but trials. Better to know for sure rather that guess. And try to remember that there is no set cookie cutter way of eating carnivore. You start at a baseline and you may need to adjust one way or the other according to what your body needs.

Welcome Scott. Oh man I’m so excited for you. It was around the sixty day mark when everything started coming together for me health wise. It was at the ninety day mark that I knew in my very innermost being that this was the way man was meant to eat and that I would eat this way for the rest of my life. I get so excited when I hear of other people going through the same experience. This is truly a healing diet. I won’t bore you with my list but suffice it to say it’s extensive. You have many more wonderful improvements ahead of you. Enjoy your journey and keep us posted on your progress. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would say that the odds of you being in ketosis is quite slim if your are eating that many carbs. You are definitely eating too much sugar. Any amount of carbs are sugar so add those carbs to the fruit and you are up there. You are feeling the way you do because you are still in a transition stage and your body doesn’t like it. It is used to being fueled glucose from the carbs and sugars you ate on SAD. It’s an addiction that results in a roller coaster of energy and cravings. When you eat that way your blood sugar goes up and the dopamine effect in your body is euphoric. When it drops you begin craving more and that is an addiction. That is why you are feeling better after consuming some carbohydrates. No different than being a drug addict and getting your next fix. The only way to stop that addiction is to cut out all sugars sweeteners and carbs. Your body has been fed bad food for a long time now and it will take a little time to get over that. It can be harder for some than others but in the end it’s all worth it. It really doesn’t take that much time of abstaining to rid yourself of this addiction. Everyone is different but it took me about 60 days to be completely free. I recently decided to stop dairy because I was finding it addictive and it took me about 3 weeks to stop the cravings. You can do this if you really want to but your biggest enemy is yourself. You have to have the mindset that that you cannot fail. Nothing can deter you from your goals. Nobody is coming to save you so you have to save yourself. Be resilient and be committed to your health. Now go light the fire, burn the beast and be happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I absolutely agree that exercise is important for overall health. I have bands an do those very exercise’s you recommend. After three rotator cuff tears and one complete rotator cuff separation resulting in two surgical repairs and one partial rebuild I’ve become well versed in the rehab exercises. You sound as though you are a physical therapist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome John. I’ve never been in a Costco, we don’t have one in my town yet. A guy I watch on utube called Old Guy Carnivore gets all his meats at Costco and Sams. They seem to have just about any variety of meat you want. Old Guy buys mostly grass fed beef and Wagyu from them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If by chance you ever wander to my part of Texas I’ll take you hunting. Then we will feast from nose to tail. I have yet to eat an organ meat that wasn’t good. I’m not a big fan of liver but like I said when made into liverwurst I love it. The testicles are very soft and have a mild flavor that I really can’t describe but they are good. Back when I was working cattle during round times I was one of the castraters. The women folk would Prepare them by removing the outer sheath and the bread them and deep fry then serve them with a white cream gravy. Absolutely delicious. With these lamb testi I just removed the sheath, sliced then in half lengthwise, seasoned, coated in butter and grilled them over a wood fire. These in the pic were about 2 1/2 inches long.

Since I’ve never had a problem gaining weight I’m not much help but see if this guy might give you some ideas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

According to several carnivore doctors and influencers if you are eating enough of the right meats and fats then you don’t need to supplement with organ meats. It’s mainly just a preference thing. If you like them fine, if you don’t, fine. Personally I believe they are good for you and boost your nutritional profile but I only eat them about once a month. I raise or hunt many of the animals I eat and I don’t waste the organs. I’m pretty much nose to tail. For me it’s not so much about the nutrition as much as it is just food. If you want get into organs then having it ground or minced with other meats is a great way to do it, especially if your not fond of the taste. You could also purchase a grinder and do it yourself if you’d like. You could even make it into sausage. Could talk to a butcher about that as well. What I do is with liver I make a pate or liverwurst. Heart, kidneys, spleen, sweetbreads, testicles, they all get grilled over a wood fire. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m impressed with your knowledge and regimentation experience. You really pay attention to your body. Carnivore, while I believe it to be the most nutritious and healthiest way for a human to eat, may not be for everyone. I’ve often heard of people who get tired of eating meat. For them it may not be sustainable. I personally don’t understand that because I love meat. For me carnivore isn’t a diet or what I eat, it’s what I am. I find a tremendous variety in eating different kinds of meats and fixing them different ways. I lost the desire to eat anything other than fat and meat after about 90 days as a carnivore. I also lost the desire to eat for pleasure. I only eat now for fuel and I let my body tell me when it needs more fuel. Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy my food and it tastes great but I have to be truly hungry before I can eat. Some people find that they need to be on a more ketovore diet and eat some low carb vegetables or a little fiber and that’s fine. To each own. You have to do what’s tight for you. I personally will not eat anything that isn’t nutritious for my body. It just doesn’t make sense to me to eat something that my body can’t utilize. The most important thing to help optimize your health in my opinion is to eliminate all sugars and sweeteners. Eliminate all seeds, that’s grains and nuts. Eliminate all seed and vegetable oils. Eliminate all high carb and high oxalate vegetables. Those alone will greatly improve the health of all humans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad you found a place. Do you have any butcher shops in your area? They can be a good source. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s going to be an interesting journey. It may be difficult to find non-carby foods along the hike. I would imagine that most people who are into hiking would be big on high carbohydrate diets for that glucose energy. Granola and all that nonsense.

Glad you could join us Michael. When I fist went carnivore I stopped drinking for seven months and then I only drank that one whiskey as a toast to my fellow veterans. I didn’t drink again until I reached my optimal weight at ten months. I will now have a whiskey (scotch or Irish) maybe once a month and then it’s only one. I’m not really trying to be restrictive it’s just that I don’t want very much. That’s saying a lot coming from someone who never had a limit before. Yes your spirits are zero carb but that alcohol will metabolize into sugar in your system and knock you out of ketosis so if you find yourself stalling out or plateauing or not getting the results you want you might want to consider cutting it out for awhile. Good luck and good health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chaffles • 1 large egg • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese • 1 Tbsp of melted butter • 1/8 tsp baking soda • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar Directions 1. Preheat a waffle maker. 2. Whisk egg in a small bowl; stir in mozzarella cheese until batter is well combined. 
 3. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading it out from the center with a spoon. Close the waffle maker and cook until steaming stops and chaffle is well browned, about 3-4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. *Note* 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon baking soda = 1 teaspoon baking powder Paffles • 1 large egg • 1 heaping Tbsp of panko pork rinds •. 1 Tbsp of melted butter • 1/8 tsp baking soda • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar Directions 1. Preheat a waffle maker. 2. Whisk egg in a small bowl; stir in the pork rind panko until batter is well combined.

Close the waffle maker and cook until steaming stops and chaffle is well browned, about 3-4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. *Note* 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon baking soda = 1 teaspoon baking powder These are the recipes for both chaffles and paffles. I started use the Paffle version when I cut out dairy from my diet. If using the chaffle recipe I would suggest that you find whole milk cheeses and stay away from them at low-fat or skim milk junk. You can also use different cheeses if you choose. Cheddar makes a good chaffle also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the first things I discovered about carnivore and another reason why I love it is that it doesn’t require exercise to work. In a world where every health advocate preaches exercise as being mandatory for weight loss, carnivore rails against the norm and wins. One of the wonderful benefits of carnivore though is that it makes you want to be more active. As you heal you feel better and have more energy and in my case a renewed commitment to improving my health in every way. I was so wracked with pain and malnourished that I couldn’t do much and so initially I didn’t do any kind of exercise but the healing continued and the weight fell off. To me this dispels the notion that exercise is essential to weight loss. But as I healed and my energy increased I just couldn’t help myself, I had to exercise. It just felt good. I used to be a gym rat but my failing heath made me stop and exercise was doing nothing to help me because it was all diet related. Here in a little bit I’ll finish up my morning chores and then I’ll go for a three mile walk. Not that I need to but because I want to. I think that a brisk walk is the absolute best exercise you can do for yourself. Sprinting, if you can do it which I can’t, would be next and straining your muscles by lifting weights or using rubber bands (which is what I use) is next. None of it has to be intense unless there’s a goal your trying to achieve. I’m trying to strengthen my shoulders so I did some shoulder workouts yesterday that have me sore today. My goal is to get over a hurt shoulder (rotator cuff) and see if I can get strong enough to pull my bow for next deer season. It doesn’t matter if you do exercise but it is good for you and will make you feel better and it doesn’t matter what exercise you do just as long as your moving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
