Frugivore? Vegan? Vegetarian? Omnivore? Carnivore? What is a natural human diet? In this episode, I discuss why I think the topic of nutrition can turn so contentious and I zoom out and define terms across the spectrum of nutritional philosophies.
THIS MAY BE MY MOST CONTENTIOUS EPISODE YET

The harms of both animal AND plant agriculture
Vaccines and Polio
Worldviews and Religion
Climate change hysteria

What did you learn? What did I miss?
Stay tuned for another episode coming soon!
