SAMA HOOLE: Grains are just civilised famine food. High-calorie, low-nutrition, survival rations that keep populations alive but don't optimize individual health.

Humans are facultative carnivores.

We can eat plants when necessary. We thrive on animals.
This is a survival advantage. When hunts fail, you can fall back on plants and survive until the next kill. But fallback foods aren't optimal foods. During famines, people ate grass, tree bark, leather. Their bodies adapted enough to survive. Barely. That doesn't make those foods healthy. It makes humans resilient enough to tolerate starvation rations. Grains are just civilised famine food. High-calorie, low-nutrition, survival rations that keep populations alive but don't optimize individual health. Your body can process them. Your body cannot thrive on them. There's a difference between "technically compatible with life" and "optimal for human function."

SAMA HOOLE: Finally, desperate, Kane accepts the blubber. Orders his men to eat it. Within one week: Strength returns. Hunger stops. No more deaths. Lean protein kills. Fat saves.

1856: Arctic explorer Elisha Kent Kane's expedition to find Franklin.

His men are hunting Arctic hare. Unlimited supply. Eating 10-12 pounds daily per man. They're starving anyway. Kane's journal: "The men are eating enormous quantities yet growing weaker by the day. Their bellies are full but they cry out with hunger." One crew member dies. Autopsy shows: "Well-fed appearance, full stomach, but complete metabolic collapse." He died with food in his stomach. From starvation. Because the food was too lean. The Inuit watching this are baffled. They offer whale blubber. Kane's men refuse it as "savage food" and "uncivilised." Three more men die eating unlimited lean meat. Finally, desperate, Kane accepts the blubber. Orders his men to eat it. Within one week: Strength returns. Hunger stops. No more deaths. Kane writes: "I do not understand the mechanism but the native food has restored the men in days after months of our provisions failed them." He didn't understand it. But he documented it perfectly. Lean protein kills. Fat saves. The Inuit had known this for 4,000 years. British naval command read Kane's journals, noted it was interesting, then sent the next Arctic expedition with the same lean rations. Same results. More deaths. They kept doing this for 40 years. "Savage food" kept saving "civilised men" from dying on "civilised rations." Eventually someone noticed the pattern. By then, dozens of explorers had died eating unlimited food. Because it was the wrong food.

ADAM JOHNSTON: After the Johnson-Reed Act passed in 1924, the U.S. essentially shut down immigration until 1965, which lowered the foreign born population from around 15% to 4.7%.

It’s not “un-American” to favor immigration from specific regions or even to restrict immigration completely.

Don’t fall for this guilt trip, which is designed to dispossess Americans of their nation. For about 175 years, up until 1965, U.S. law deliberately favored immigration from European regions, specifically Northern and Western Europe. Were all those who enacted these polices, including the founding fathers, “un-American?” After the Johnson-Reed Act passed in 1924, the U.S. essentially shut down immigration until 1965, which lowered the foreign born population from around 15% to 4.7%. (See chart) The House voted 322–71 and the Senate voted 62–6 to pass the Johnson-Reed Act. Were these Americans who voted for immigration restrictions also “un-American?” America isn’t the world’s refugee camp. America is for Americans. We are a nation and a people - but we won’t remain so if we don’t fight for both.

TOMMY ROBINSON: A "New Republican Movement" has sprung up in Ireland.
