Justin Mares discusses chicken's dietary implications (Part 2)

Side salad or side vegetable and maybe maybe some fruit if I'm feeling like it. So that's sort of like a standard lunch and then again potentially like another bone broth. And then a dinner is normally like a higher protein, lower carb kind of thing. So like a fish and vegetables or ground beef and vegetables. I have a fair number of tacos and stuff like that too. Just, it's easy to put together. But, yeah, nothing like too, too crazy. We just have. My wife and I have like, very, very high sourcing standards in terms of the foods that we buy. And that is where I put most of my energy is just making sure that almost all of the foods that we bring into our house are like, very, very high quality. Because I think that is like the most important thing when it comes to a lot of health and nutrition stuff. I've noticed you didn't say chicken and I've seen you write before about some of the perils of chicken. Can you tell us about that? Yeah. So I think that the average American gets way too much of their caloric intake in the form of what's called polyunsaturated fatty acids, PUFAs. So PUFAs are the primary fatty acid found in a lot of seed oils. They're very high in nuts. They're like in everything, basically. And what's key is they actually, these PUFAs will. They make up a lot of the meat concentration in chickens specifically. So chickens have their monogastric. They have one stomach, so it means when they eat, what they eat goes directly into their meat tissue, whereas cows have two. And so they basically can actually eat things like grass. They have a rumen, they process it and it gets integrated in their muscle tissue differently. And so in the us most chickens are fed corn and soy almost exclusively. And so you have these chickens basically that have the muscle and fat profile of something resembling a seed oil. And so I think that, like, chickens, chickens basically, I think, used to be much healthier. I think that if you're trying to cut down on poopas, which I think is broadly just a very good idea, especially if you live in the US eating chicken every single day, changing that is probably a very easy way to lower your poopa intake and which I think has a whole host of benefits from an inflammation and other kinds of standpoints. So, yeah, I'd avoid it. Avoid it. Oils, like, universally, universally bad. Can you give us a few thoughts on that? Yeah. So this is what I would say is a contested area. I think that the evidence is fairly clear. Personally, I think at the very least, even the people that are the most proceed will say things that will agree that these are among the most highly processed things that you can put in your body. They basically definitely.
