(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.
