Episode 2875: Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss kids being raised on fake foods, false claims about meat and inflammation, and body positivity.
Raised on Fake Foods
- “Amy” (the song by Pure Prairie League) and the phrase “in a while” lead to thoughts of love, relationships, and meeting Serena. (2:00)
- Chris reads through a study, and a statistic he found is a bit terrifying. (14:00)
- Part of the information provided in the study reveals that 68% of the kids’ diets were ultra-processed foods.
- It’s only in recent decades that ultra-processed foods have become so prevalent that many people consider them “regular food.”
- There is a difference between a “processed” food and invented, chemical-filled ultra-processed foods. (24:00)
- In today’s food climate, are we raising a generation of people who don’t understand at all what real food is?
- A recent headline claims that meat consumption creates inflammation due to L-carnitine.
- This claim has been misrepresented, and scientists within the study have come out against the headline. (37:00)
- It appears to be just another attempt to discourage eating meat.
- Body positivity movement. (42:00)
- Where it started, but where it has gone astray.
- Some of the messaging has been good, but there are negative aspects as well.
- Messaging ranges from encouraging binge eating to stringent use of peptides and hormones in bodybuilding competitions.
- Now GLP-1s are being accused of being used to “genocide” fat people by one group from Harvard.
