But these are animals that literally just eat grass, just run through a pasture all day, and then when their life ends, it ends in the least stressful way possible, which is to say they don't know their life's about to end until they get shot in the head, which I know sounds harsh to people, but it matters, right? It matters that an animal dies in the least stressful way. Why is that?

Look, I think that there's, you know, if the end of an animal's life is incredibly stressful, there are a lot of stress hormones that kind of go through an animal's body. And I can't tell you that that necessarily makes a difference in the health of the meat, but it certainly does make a difference in the flavor. I also think there's just something to be said for the humanity of it, right? Mm-hmm.

You know, we are omnivores, right? We do eat plants and animals. But we don't have to be cruel about it. And I think we should all aspire to eat animals that have lived the best life that they can. And when their time comes, their time comes in the simplest and cleanest way.

I think it's a second or third order term. I think the first order term, if you want to just take a step way back and say, okay, what do we know is 100% true about nutrition? The answer is not a lot, right? Despite what health influencers might try to tell you, there's very little that we know is kind of what I'd call capital T true.

So we know that eating too much food, regardless of what that food is, is not healthy. So we know that once the body is consuming calories in excess of what it can store safely, and different people have a very different genetic capacity for what that means. You and I could be different in that regard.

In other words, you and I might have a different ability to put fat into the subcutaneous area around our waist, which, by the way, is a safe place to store excess energy. But at some point, any person will begin to exceed that, and they'll start to put fat into places where it should not be.

Fat should never be in your liver, it should never be around your organs, it should never be marbling inside your muscles, it should never be interwoven in your pancreas, around your heart or around your kidneys. Those are the danger zones. And once fat starts to accumulate there, which will happen in any form of excess energy, awful things are going to happen.
