SAMA HOOLE: Every ancestor in your line dreamed of your Tuesday.

Think about how many of your ancestors barely survived long enough to reproduce.

Famine. Disease. War. Poverty. Hardship.

They survived on whatever food they could get. Often inadequate. Often just grains and root vegetables because that's all there was.

Think about how many of your ancestors barely survived long enough to reproduce. Famine. Disease. War. Poverty. Hardship. They survived on whatever food they could get. Often inadequate. Often just grains and root vegetables because that's all there was. They didn't thrive on it. They survived despite it. Each generation barely making it. Malnourished. Struggling. But they survived. They reproduced. They passed on the genes. So you could exist. And now you exist. In abundance. With access to optimal nutrition. You're the first generation in your bloodline with unlimited access to red meat. And you're voluntarily choosing the famine food they were forced to eat. Every ancestor in your line dreamed of your Tuesday.

Honor their sacrifice. Don't squander it. Eat the meat. 

SAMA HOOLE: 1800s European settlers averaged 5'5" to 5'6". The "savages" were towering over the "civilised" men by 3-4 inches. What were the Plains Indians eating? Bison. Almost exclusively. Fatty meat, organ meats, bone marrow, pemmican (dried meat mixed with rendered fat).

When European settlers first encountered Plains Indians in the 1800s, they were stunned.

The Lakota, Cheyenne, and other Plains tribes averaged 5'8" to 5'10".

European settlers averaged 5'5" to 5'6".

When European settlers first encountered Plains Indians in the 1800s, they were stunned. The Lakota, Cheyenne, and other Plains tribes averaged 5'8" to 5'10". European settlers averaged 5'5" to 5'6". The "savages" were towering over the "civilised" men by 3-4 inches. What were the Plains Indians eating? Bison. Almost exclusively. Fatty meat, organ meats, bone marrow, pemmican (dried meat mixed with rendered fat). Zero agriculture. Zero grains. Zero vegetables for most of the year. Pure animal products. What were the Europeans eating? Bread. Porridge. Potatoes. Minimal meat (expensive). The diet recommended by every nutritional authority. The civilisation built on agriculture produced shorter, weaker men than the "primitive" buffalo hunters. The settlers noted this in their journals. Constantly. They were intimidated by the physical presence of Plains Indians. Taller. Stronger. Better teeth. Better bone structure. More muscular. One group ate meat. One group ate grains.  

The results were literally measurable in inches. 

SAMA HOOLE: The skeletons don't lie. The transition from hunting to farming was a health disaster.

10,000 BC: Humans hunt megafauna. Average height: 5'9". Bone density: exceptional. Teeth: perfect. Brain: 1,400cc. Chronic disease: zero. Diet: 60-80% calories from animal fat. 9,000 BC: Agricultural revolution begins. First farmers start eating grains instead of hunting. 8,000 BC: Skeletal analysis shows what happened next:

Height drops 6 inches within generations. Bone density decreases dramatically. Dental cavities appear for first time in human fossil record. --Sama Hoole

Dental cavities appear for first time in human fossil record. Nutritional deficiencies visible in bones. Skeletal deformities from malnutrition. Lifespan actually decreases despite "settled civilisation." Archaeological term for this: "Agricultural decline" or "Neolithic decline." We traded individual health for population growth. Quality for quantity. Agriculture wasn't progress. It was adaptation to scarcity after we hunted fat-rich megafauna to extinction. We were so good at hunting that we eliminated our primary food source and needed a backup plan. The backup plan kept us alive. But we got shorter, weaker, sicker. The skeletons don't lie. The transition from hunting to farming was a health disaster. But it allowed population explosion, so civilisation formed anyway. We've been paying for it ever since.

SAMA HOOLE: Farmers. Builders. Beach holidays. Minimal sunburn. No skin cancer epidemic. You burn in 30 minutes now. The sun didn't change. You did. Your skin's fat composition changed. UV light triggers oxidation of PUFAs [i.e., seed oils] in your skin.

Your grandparents could spend all day in the sun.

Your grandparents could spend all day in the sun. Farmers. Builders. Beach holidays. Minimal sunburn. No skin cancer epidemic. You burn in 30 minutes now. The sun didn't change. You did. Your skin's fat composition changed. UV light triggers oxidation of PUFAs in your skin. Oxidised PUFAs = free radicals = sunburn. Melanoma rates in America: 1950: 1 in 500 2020: 1 in 50 That's a 10x increase. What else increased 10x? Seed oil consumption. The sun hasn't gotten more dangerous. You've become more flammable. Your skin is literally built from oxidisable oils. UV light hits seed-oil-based skin like lighting a match near gasoline. After 6-12 months without seed oils, your skin cells turn over. New cells built from stable fats. People report spending hours in sun without burning, when they previously burned in 30 minutes. Your ancestors didn't need SPF 50. Because their skin wasn't made of flammable materials.
