We Used to Eat Animals the Right Way – Here’s What Changed | WIRED
Dr. Bill Schindler explains why the processes we have in place today in the food industry lead to a less healthy and enriched lifestyle. The way humans eat animals has shifted. Our brains grew significantly once the human race started hunting its food. Diets that consisted of blood, guts, and organs contributed to that growth.…

I’m with you on the whole organ meat thing. When a carnivore kills an animal, the organ meat is the first thing they go for. Only if they have time after a day or so do they even bother getting around to the muscle. In fact when bears are trying to really put the fat on Fast and hard at the very end of the salmon season, they only eat the organs they leave the meat just thrown up on the shore.
But ethical? I don’t think you get to use the word ethical. Ethical is going to imply some sort of Supernatural moral structure. I don’t think you get to use the word ethical anymore like that. I think what you get to use is your opinion is blank.

Just some critical thinking but if eating blood, organs and fat made us evolve into sentient being and if lions and other predators used to eat blood, organs and fat before us then why aren’t they sentient beings? This sounds like a correlation not causation thing.

The biggest obstacle to greater voluntary adoption of these views is the government. Government makes health regulations that tend to favor large agri-business. Try to buy raw milk. Ya can’t. Try to keep a chicken coop in some urban ares. Ya can’t. Government subsidizes large ag employers, and regulates in their favor because they lobby, and small entrepreneurial farmers don’t. The free market could solve this problem, but the right wants to subsidize big agriculture, and the left wants to nationalize food production. Promote these food ideas voluntarily, in an atmosphere of freedom.

Sorry but this is a bit of BS, first of all today we are mostly – in Western world – focused on meat, yes. BUT 50 years ago that was not the case so all this 15K years blabla is BS, at least for that argument. My parents and esp. grand parents still ate everything, or most of the animals. Sausages (which constains the fat etc) and a lot of organ dishes – I do not like that stuff, yes. On the other hand I do know my butcher. High energy food is even not a good idea, we already eat to much energy. Yes, the wrong food, again this video sound like some paleo/yesterdays was better crapp idiolgy… does he really believe the solution would be that everybody does the butchering themself? How ridicilous… the best is… for what/who? the person or the enviroment or ethical or economics?
edit: how old is this video? That fat is not bad, that is so old, it’s already rencid.

Modern humans are so unhealthy yet we have far longer natural lifespans than our blood and liver eating ancestors?
And we certain have better quality of life, very little starvation, time for entertainment, yet. Sure, maybe more incidences of cancer but also no getting eaten by a hungry animal.
All this “eat elk meat and drink blood” just comes across as the latest diet or anti-medication craze.

Lol, this guy has such an idealistic view of our past, as if we were just out there living our best lives instead of starving left, right, and center. Yes, there are major problems with our food production but going back isn’t the solution, it’s going forward. Eating plant based is the biggest thing you can do to reduce your environmental impact and goes towards a world where we don’t torture trillions of sentient beings. Slitting your dog’s throat isn’t going to help you live a better life so why would slitting a pig’s throat?

I can’t believe I wasted 8 minutes of my life on this stupid, pseudoscientific, sensationalist video. If this guy has enough free time to butcher and prep “half a pig”, he should spend some of it looking around. To his surprise he may find out that most of working adults have more pressing problems and very little free time, which they prefer to spend living (not like a cave man, may I add). Sure food waste is a problem, but his solution is a joke.

Sorry mate, fire is what made us. cooking meat is safer and easier to digest, and chew. then our jaw muscles didn’t have to be so big while at the same time getting WAY more energy which in turn supports the development of a larger brain. not blood, fat and organs. i mean they ate them yes. but fire was key

You are almost correct about the explosion of brain size, but it wasn’t cutting tools it was the invention of fire. When humans first began to cook meat it made the nutrients in the food much more easily digestible, practically cooking increased the efficiency of digestion and that meant every pound of meat had its calorie count increased (also less parasite and germs was also a good thing). Every disease you mentioned is not caused by meat intake it is caused by processed sugar. I do agree with your argument as a whole but just don’t build your house on sand. I didn’t realize how rare offal and fat was abroad, it is still quite popular in Wales.
Jared Moore

I agree with him about the way we eat meat. But the solutions doesn’t seem very convenient to me. It all comes down to people coming to their senses and reducing their meat consumption and eat veggies. Instead of large farms have local meat producers where animals aren’t given any steroids to promote growth and kept crowded in filthy spaces. It inhumane the way we produce meat nowadays.
