So you feed them the exact same number of calories and they gain 15% more weight because you destroyed their microbiome with antibiotics. And you look out at America right now and 70% of America is overweight or obese. And we're suffering with an epidemic of gut-related issues. And I think this is just another piece of the puzzle that's kind of saying to us, hey, we need to make some changes.

So anyway, with the animal-based foods, the issue was the antibiotics that were given to the livestock.

Okay, so I would like to start with where we are as a country, and then I would like to take it into an acknowledgement of the carnivore diet and the trend. So where we are as a country is, first of all, probably the worst diet in the history of humanity. Yeah. Like on average. Where 60% of the American diet comes from ultra-processed food.

30% of our diet is animal-based foods, so meat, dairy, and eggs. And again, I think that you can be healthy and eat animal-based foods, but we're not balanced. And then 10% comes from plants, but that 10%, the number one plant is potatoes because we're eating a lot of fries. So this is a horribly unhealthy pattern and the result is that we are wildly fiber deficient.

The recommended amount for a woman in the United States is 25 grams and she's getting 15. That is the minimum. That's not an A plus in fiber, that's a D minus if you could get 25.

For men, we're even worse. The recommended amount is 38 grams per day and the average man is getting 18. So while women are 10 grams below where they should be, men are 20 grams below where they should be.
