Sorghum is widely grown for animal feed. We used to eat it at breakfast time sometimes when I was a kid because farmers grew a lot of it.
They’d roast the grains and grind it in a coffee grinder and cook it like oatmeal. It was actually good
“homemade veggie burgers” the hubs would file for divorce after 49 years!
Because he has stuff to sale.
None of his recommendations are easy to buy.
Meanwhile , cattle are everywhere in Texas.
No way will my family turn its back on beef.
When I read decades ago that Jim Fixx, the father of the running craze, died of a heart attack at age 52 while running, I decided running was not my thing. Today, when I pass a runner, I look in the rear view mirror and, you know what, I’ve yet to see one of them smiling. That makes me smile and I continue on with my day, spreading a little sunshine to others with my smile...
Running is the biggest waste of time, it produces cortisol and messes up the joints.
Just walking is better than running, but also sprinting is a much better use of time, if you want to get really fit.
I prefer the term “omnivore”, as in “I never met a calorie I didn’t like”!
I put lard on my shopping list today...the first time in about 60 years.
And he’d have grounds! 😉
I ran for a time long ago and I have two titanium knees to show for it. I just turned 82 but I have a lot of friends who say I could pass for 81!
Someone needs to tell guys like is that the point of life is not just to stay above room temperature for as long as possible.
Might be hard to find.................
Also, compare the body of Usain Bolt, with that of a typical long-distance runner, which body would you rather have?
The first explicit permission for humans to eat meat was given to Noah and his family after the Great Flood, as recorded in Genesis 9:3. Before the Flood, God's initial instructions for human and animal diets, as described in Genesis 1:29-30, specified only plants, seeds, and fruits for food.
Bottom line: using the Bible as a reference, man has been eating meat since Noah - since around 2300 B.C. Yes, not everyone believes in history as recorded in the Bible. Many, including myself, do.
Rebuttal to this fruitcake with the fartsy eyeglasses, is the genius Cardiologist Robert C. Atkins. The Atkins diet/choice still applies today— especially as regards the #1 problem still in the US-—excess carbohydrates/processed foods laden with sugar (corn based syrups overwhelmingly). The diabetic wave continues with children developing Type 2 diabetes from loading up on high fructose corn syrup sweetened soda/drinks and poor eating habits. Obese in jr and senior high, with zero exercise. The long suppressed gene sequence with diabetic response is aggravated and expressed early by huge ingestion of sugars- the sugars trigger diabetes that might normally not be seen until late 50’s.. in teenagers.
Atkins died from slipping on patch ice in NYC and developing a brain blood clot at 72. He also had cardiomyopathy developed from a viral infection (not food, not booze.. a virus. It happens a lot).
Atkins emphasized protein and fat as the primary sources of dietary calories in addition to a controlled number of carbohydrates from vegetables. Not this vegan stuff (which is nice to add, but not central to human omnivore needs).
The so-called Paleo diet is a copy of Atkins original work. Incidentally, published work from Atkins eliminating a certain form of cancer by high dose intravenous...Vitamin C. Very large dose- not tolerated in oral dosing form.
Twenty five years have passed. I have maintained my weight and my blood work is still good. Prime rib is a heck of a lot more expensive but it's still very tasty.
flaxseed is gross....i tried to consume it for health reasons but blech!
Been monitoring this guy.

And for the last 60 years we have been told to not eat this kind of fat, don’t eat any fat, eat that kind of fat, and now with the seed oil thing, we are back to eating the fats that Grandma cooked with. 60 years ago.
My Grandma made popcorn cooked in bacon grease. That was and still is pretty awesome.

Wait. The biggest user of cholesterol is our brains. What plants supply that cholesterol in your proposal?
