Stop the Insanity

  • Chris and Vinnie strategize on how to get more followers using AI. (2:00)
  • They discuss Catholic school sex ed from when Vinnie was in school. (10:00)
    • Using this as an example of contradictory messaging and hypocrisy.
  • Mixed messages are the reasons behind many of the issues in the health of society today. (16:00)
  • There are claims that obesity isn’t related to personal choice. (17:30)
    • Disadvantaged communities struggle since so many processed foods are cheap, and that can be true. (18:00)
    • The other claim has to do with poor gut health, which Vinnie doesn’t believe. (18:30)
      • Vinnie believes it has to do with misinformation and following the federal dietary guidelines.
  • MAHA appears to be divisive for various reasons. (27:30)
    • They discuss some of the concerns expressed about changing the SNAP problem, including expense and waste.
    • But it seems there should be workarounds to resolve the concerns, so stop the insanity.
  • Big Food and Big Pharma aren’t likely to want the changes, it seems. (45:00)
  • They discuss Alpha-gal syndrome, which is an allergy to red (mammalian) meat and sometimes dairy. (47:00)
    • It is caused by a tick bite.
    • Other meats, like chicken and fish, can still be eaten, so there’s no real need to go vegan.
    • Apparently, Martha’s Vineyard is a hotbed of Alpha-gal. (53:00)
    • They discuss how expensive certain farmers’ markets are.
