potatoes also ruining the ground like grains? how about rice? istn rice used in asia since a long time also in quite huge amounts and not ruining the land? im curious
I agree with Dr. Lalonde that we should not denigrate people who subscribe to a vegetarian lifestyle. I think much of the vitriol that has come out from the Paleo community towards vegetarians is in retaliation to the fact that vegetarians want to proselytize, and they do so by resorting to lying, bringing up fault science (i.e. the China Study), meaningless anecdotes, and levying ad hominem attacks on those who don't follow their moral commitment.
I am elated to have men of scientific integrity, like Dr. Mat Lalonde, on our side. So much of our discourse on diet gets mired in half truths, conjecture, and unsubstantiated claims. It's refreshing to have a man so committed to examining all dietary propositions with scientific rigor. If we demand claims in physics, chemistry, and biology to be verified using the most exacting scientific benchmarks, we should also expect the same with dietary claims - especially when our health is at stake.
"I think it is very unwise to ridicule this very morally committed population just because they're not eating meat." With tradition and ethics mingling with careful observation; This is pleasing to hear.
this interview was my first introduction to Matt Lalonde. I have googled every lecture I could find from him after watching this. Although a lot of chemistry is over my heard, it's nice to hear a scientific perspective on what the paleo diet really is. thanks for this.
this was a very good interview. I heard Mat Lalonde speak at ancestral health and this is an excellent follow up to that. I very much appreciate that he isn't hung up on the meat part of paleo as well. While I do consume meat as a protein sometimes it is difficult to obtain healthy meat sources and so I just forego that part and eat vegetables and yams with good healthy fat. Life is Good!
@infinityfreedom888: if I may answer your question, seeds/grains/legumes originally existed in a specific ecological niche. Take them out of that niche & they can damage the environment. Raising cows on grass mimics an existing ecological niche and can fortify the land; take them out of that niche into a factory farm setting is where you run into problems.
@quirkybeats The seeds/legumes/grains do not damage the environment, the way that we chose to commercially farm them does. Legumes are actually beneficial to the soil because they can fix (or "take") nitrogen from the air and convert it to a form readily available to other plants. This minimizes the need for petrochemical fertilizers. While I do agree that you should buy grass-fed beef as opposed to factory farmed, there is no ecological niche for domestic cattle.
Watching the video of Mat Lalonde's talk at the AHS was a watershed moment for me last year, an intellectual b*tchslap if you will, that motivated me to be much more careful about evangelizing about the paleo diet. In fact I mostly avoid the term now to minimize any cognitive bias that might tag along. This was a great follow-up video, many thanks!
I would love to know your views on leukocytosis? Also you talk about the land degradation from legumes but what about the degradation from animals for food production?
Properly grazed animal agriculture is actually restorative to the land. It creates topsoil and sequesters carbon from the atmosphere. Of course this doesn't apply to CAFO farming
