SAMA HOOLE: We're 10,000 years in and still living with the consequences [of Agriculture]. Your crowded teeth: Agricultural nutrition deficiency. Your chronic disease: Agricultural diet mismatch. Your 40-hour work week: Agricultural labor inheritance

Here's why agriculture was a disastrous trade deal for humanity:

What we gained:
- Population can grow 10x
- Food supply more predictable (when crops don't fail)
- Ability to support specialists (potters, weavers, priests, soldiers)
- Foundation for "civilisation"

Here's why agriculture was a disastrous trade deal for humanity: What we gained: - Population can grow 10x - Food supply more predictable (when crops don't fail) - Ability to support specialists (potters, weavers, priests, soldiers) - Foundation for "civilisation" What we lost: - 6 inches of height - Robust bone density - Perfect teeth - Freedom from chronic disease - Freedom from epidemic disease - 20+ hours per week of leisure time - Political freedom and autonomy - Nutritional quality - Social equality The trade: Support more people by making each person worse off. This only makes sense if you value population growth over individual wellbeing. And we didn't consciously choose it. We stumbled into it by eliminating megafauna, then couldn't reverse it because population had grown beyond hunting capacity.

We're 10,000 years in and still living with the consequences: - Your crowded teeth: Agricultural nutrition deficiency - Your chronic disease: Agricultural diet mismatch - Your 40-hour work week: Agricultural labor inheritance - Your social hierarchy: Agricultural inequality structure - Your government: Agricultural coercion system Every problem of modern civilisation traces back to this: We're agriculturalists trying to thrive on a system our bodies aren't designed for. We haven't evolved to digest grains well in 10,000 years. We won't evolve to do so in the next 10,000 either. The devil's bargain was made by our ancestors. We're still paying the price. And wondering why we're so sick.

SAMA HOOLE: [Dr. Jan Kwasniewski, Polish physician]'s protocol was simple: "Eat fat. Lots of it. Minimal protein. No carbs." He recommended foods by fat content. Pork fat was ideal. Lean meat was inadequate.

Dr. Jan Kwasniewski, Polish physician, developed his "Optimal Diet" in the 1970s.

Extreme by any standard: 3:1 fat to protein ratio. Almost zero carbs.

He called it "Optimal" because he'd tested it on thousands of patients.

Results:
- Obesity reversed
- Type 2 diabetes… pic.twitter.com/6dexWu9A5S

Dr. Jan Kwasniewski, Polish physician, developed his "Optimal Diet" in the 1970s. Extreme by any standard: 3:1 fat to protein ratio. Almost zero carbs. He called it "Optimal" because he'd tested it on thousands of patients. Results: - Obesity reversed - Type 2 diabetes resolved - Digestive diseases improved - Autoimmune conditions reduced - Energy dramatically increased His protocol was simple: "Eat fat. Lots of it. Minimal protein. No carbs." He recommended foods by fat content. Pork fat was ideal. Lean meat was inadequate. The Polish medical establishment called him dangerous. Heretical. "You can't tell people to eat mostly fat! They'll die!" Except his patients didn't die. They got healthier. He practiced for 40 years. Published books (in Polish, rarely translated). Treated over 50,000 patients. Documented their outcomes meticulously. Outside Poland, nobody knew about him until the 2000s when his work was translated. By then, low-fat had been the standard for 30 years. His extreme high-fat approach was considered pseudoscience. He died in 2004. His clinical success dismissed as "not evidence-based." 50,000 successfully treated patients apparently didn't count as evidence. He was right. We just weren't ready to hear it.

SAMA HOOLE: Amundsen ate like people who'd lived in extreme cold for millennia. Prioritised fat. Survived. Scott ate like the Royal Navy recommended. Proper balanced nutrition. Died.

1911: Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen prepares to race to the South Pole.

His strategy: Study the Inuit. Copy everything they do.

Diet: Seal blubber, fatty meat, fish. Feed lean cuts to the dogs. Prioritise fat.

1911: Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen prepares to race to the South Pole. His strategy: Study the Inuit. Copy everything they do. Diet: Seal blubber, fatty meat, fish. Feed lean cuts to the dogs. Prioritise fat. British explorer Robert Scott prepares simultaneously. His strategy: British naval traditions. Science. Civilisation. Diet: Proper naval rations. Lean meat, biscuits, tea. Feed fatty meat to dogs because fat is inferior. December 1911: Amundsen reaches South Pole first. Plants Norwegian flag. Returns safely. All men survive. Dogs survive. Everyone in good health. January 1912: Scott reaches pole one month later. Finds Norwegian flag. Begins return journey. March 1912: Scott and all men found dead. Frozen 11 miles from supply depot. Dogs dead. Evidence of severe malnutrition, scurvy, starvation. The difference wasn't courage. Both teams were brave. The difference wasn't equipment. Both had quality gear. The difference wasn't determination. Both were committed. The difference was diet. Amundsen ate like people who'd lived in extreme cold for millennia. Prioritised fat. Survived. Scott ate like the Royal Navy recommended. Proper balanced nutrition. Died. The Antarctic doesn't care about your credentials. It doesn't negotiate with institutional authority. It just kills you if you ignore what works.
