QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- A listener asks Vinnie to explain why he is against quinoa and how the “F**k Quinoa” phrase originated. (17:15)
- People argue that it’s a seed, not a grain and that it has protein.
- Vinnie gives the breakdown of why that argument is nonsense
- Protein: 1/4 lb of beef has 16g of protein, and a cup of quinoa is only 8g.
- Carbs: Meat has none, and quinoa has (in 1 cup, cooked) 39g of carbs.
- You would have to eat a significant amount more quinoa to get high protein, but that also gets packaged with a ridiculous amount of carbs.
- Vinnie’s Instagram post from May 18th about3 foods not to eat has gone viral. (32:00)
- It has teachable moments, but a lot of people got “butthurt” and responded with negative comments, especially about oatmeal.
- Vinnie has never wavered on his message, because when you tell the truth, there’s no reason to waver. (42:30)
- So what makes a good breakfast? One word: EGGS. Vinnie explains why. (43:30)
- Eggs are the perfect food.
- People are just trying to learn facts, but there is so much misinformation.
- Anna sees this on Reddit about the topic of menopause and gives examples of misinformation and confusion. (42:00)
- Misinformation leads to incredible nonsense such as the required killing of thousands of cattle in Northern Ireland “to help the environment.” (48:00)
- There are actions and policies being created that don’t even make basic sense!
- Vinnie and Anna are trying to get the word out for the correct information. (53:00)
- It’s a fight with both lobbyists and political figures.
- You can still vote with your dollars in the marketplace and only buy things that are healthy.
