The Game Changers

Mind Muscle with Simon de Veer

Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about diet and the human body as we examine the Netflix documentary 'Game Changers'. We aren't here to take sides in the vegan versus carnivore debate, but we are here to challenge the assertions, insinuations, and conflicts of interest that cloud our understanding of nutrition. Explore the tangled web of anecdotal evidence and reputable research, and find out why taking the leap to a vegan lifestyle is far from simple.
We're discussing the hot topics around the link between diet and athletic performance, and the claim that humans are not built to consume meat. We'll also break down the documentary's stance on how our dietary choices impact our carbon footprint and the environmental consequences of meat consumption. Ready to see through the smoke and mirrors of fitness industry fads and understand the real deal behind plant-based diets, inflammation, and the ethical implications of your food choices? You're in the right place.
Finally, we'll wrap up with a reflection on the recent study revealing that a mere 12% of beef-eaters are responsible for consuming over 50% of the total beef. Whether you're a dedicated carnivore, a passionate vegan, or someone simply interested in the science behind our food choices, this episode will challenge your understanding and invite you to rethink your dietary decisions.
