Meat Myths I had to Unlearn

Meat Myths Unlearned…

Moving from plant based to animal based can be a challenge, especially as we have been ‘fed’ a lot of nonsense about how animal proteins and fats (which we have consumed for millennia without any issues) now someone effect our health in a negative way!

Here are some of the myths I had to unlearn, not just from 30+ yrs of veggie/vegan beliefs, but also from many years of nutritional training too…

Animal fats make you fat (when the opposite is true)
Animal fats give you heart attacks & just general heart issues (when the opposite is true)
Animal fats are just general just bad for your health
Margarine (seed oils) are better for you than animal fats (this one is mental)
Red meat is really hard to digest and can sit in your digestive system for weeks (also totally bonkers)
Meat causes inflammation
Meat is toxic in the body!
Many plants contain similar nutritional properties to animal fats and proteins
That animals, especially cows are causing an environmental sh#t-storm (this doesn’t even make sense anymore)
That farm animals are not needed and not actually regenerating the soil and the eco system
That carbs, especially is brown carbs are good for us and helpful for our health
That oxalate poisoning is a real thing!
That soya-based products (beans, tofu, sauce etc) are good for us
That we can thrive without animal proteins and fats
That it is possible to reverse mental & physical ‘incurable’ illnesses with my ancestral dietary choices
That we support can support our nervous system through more ancestral dietary choices
That it is possible to have a healthy relationship with food & your body again (after a lifetime of the opposite), even eating TONS of calories, fats and apparently ‘unhealthy’ foods and feel truly amazing mentally and physically!
That synthetic fabrics are better for us and the environment than natural fabrics created by or from animals.
