On July 8th my colleagues and I discussed “The Essential Societal Role of Livestock, Today and Tomorrow” for the Livestock Symposium at the 2025 Meeting of the American & Canadian Societies of Animal Science in Hollywood, FL. The presentations were recorded and videos are now available.

"The absence of grazing livestock is associated with a lower diversity of wild mammals and a greater complexity in pathogen communities, which translates into higher co-occurrence and prevalence of pathogens in the sentinel species" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@jeffcafe_ Also: there are not a lot of "vegetables" in mock meats -they're essentialy made from pea/soy protein isolates, starches, refined oils. Plus lots of texturizers and cosmetic additives to simulate flavor/color/bite. Plant-based? Technically yes -but don't expect wholesome veggies.

It was great to talk with @realDaveFeldman on a range of topics related to ketogenic and carnivore diets, my under-recognised role in getting the Carnivore movement off the ground, my ongoing recovery from chronic illness, and how terminology is still distorting mainstream thinking around fat loss.

Good morning. Good luck with your list 😉🤠

"Over 50% of the food we eat in the UK is ultra-processed. If that mirrors your diet, watch out for any high protein sales pitch [..] yet for people who cook for themselves routinely and actively avoid ultra-processed products, this current focus on protein is surely welcome."

Good morning. Facial recognition... Life in the Go Oogle age. I'm sure she appreciates it.

"Beef offers a nutrient-dense food matrix that supports cognitive performance & may be particularly important for reproductive-age females at risk for iron deficiency. Evidence [demonstrates] improvements in visuospatial cognition following beef consumption".

For those interested in learning more about the toxins produced from exposing dietary polyunsaturated fats to high temperatures, one published resource is below. Note that some of the toxic aldehydes here can be produced from oxidation of these fats within the body.

Just like Agricultural ≠ Arable, and Land ≠ Soil, Biomass ≠ Food. My latest post - What's There to Eat? open.substack.com/pub/ruminati/p…

Udderly ridiculous indeed!
