Ben Pratt, author of the book "Nutrition's Playground" talks to London Real about the Paleo diet, why he advocates consuming unpasteurised dairy products, how sugar and flour should be avoided, and why Brian should stop drinking beverages with artificial sweeteners.

"If you say to someone one day 'Eat a better diet', do you think they're just going to make one change?" - Ben (02:23)

"The Paleo diet is really popular." - Brian (06:01)

"Apparently saturated fat is one of the most important components of your diet." - Nic (09:25)

"The other thing that is never discussed is the type of saturated fat." - Ben (13:11)

"The more of a process its been through the less of a nutritional value I believe it to have." - Nic (15:27)

"'I make all my own cakes', OK very good but you're still filling them with sugar and flour." -Ben (16:09)

"The Olympics are taking place in London and the two largest sponsors are McDonalds and Coca-Cola." - Nic (20:49)

"How do you eat in a way that helps your children be healthy but doesn't estrange them from all of their peers." - Ben (29:34)

"Local food is good to support the local economy but that doesn't naturally mean it's better quality." - Ben (36:23)

"'Why are you eating it?' 'Because Joe Rogan does it.'" - Brian & Ben (41:35)

Why do vegans troll the net, telling other people how great their diet is? Sounds more like they are trying to convince themselves. People who eat what they want live LONGER. People who follow picky diets might EXIST a bit longer, but even that is not supported by hard evidence. We don't care! We LIKE meat. Show me a professional athlete that exists on twigs and berries. Try existing on a vegan diet without the luxury of a modern society and animals will be picking the meat off your bones.

[London Real]

Veganism, Paleo, Low-Carb, Low-Fat - everyone has their own opinion on nutrition it seems...

[82Bdog]

pseudo science + diet = paleo...

[London Real]

Is the Paleo Diet pseudoscience? @Ben_Pratt seems to think so...

[qed100]

People can exist on vegan diets today, because they do have the luxury of modern society.

[qed100]

My diet is killing me? Is there a diet such that I won't end up dead?

[tineeeable]

I just don`t eat white sugar and very few carbs. and if from rice or whole wheat. I usually don`t eat bread, for example...

[mellowb1rd]

You need to quit picking up incorrect biological factoids from vegan websites. Our teeth are designed for an omnivorous diet. But, regardless of design, there are few if any tribes on earth that ever existed without eating meat. And, if any such tribe existed, it would not survive an encounter with a meat-eating neighbor. Eating meat is the reason we are as smart as we are. Without it. you'd spend 100% of the day picking around, trying to scratch together enough food just to avoid death.

[SplurtaBeats]

Your saying if the Mayans ate meat they would live for thousands of years and still be alive today? It's common sense, our teeth aren't meant for ripping apart flesh they are made for grinding. You try biting in to a cow and see what happens. Also our gut is 10x the length of our bodies so that decomposing flesh sits there rotting and doesn't leave the body quickly like it does in a cheetah. A cheetah on the other hand has very sharp teeth and 10x the amount of hydrochloric acid in their stomach

[mellowb1rd]

We can...NOW. With electricity and farming on an industrial scale, and insulated homes and clothes. By the way...the Mayans ate meat when they could get it. Maybe if they ate more, they'd still be here. Progress has nothing to do with whether or not we kill for food. It's not right or wrong. It's NATURAL. Anyway, I ain't likely to get much sense out of someone who tells me to look up "suppressed" information and thinks it's the "corporate elite" that makes me want a nice, juicy steak right now.

[SplurtaBeats]

That's naive to think we can't live without killing and eating flesh. Look up the mayans, they survived for hundreds of years without consuming flesh but this knowledge is suppressed, the corporate elite have sneaked meat and diary in to our dietaries. Just look at all of the propaganda videos back in the 1940s that made people think they had to eat meat to survive then you'll know. A carrot is not a living thing, the plant is and it provides for us. A cow is living, how can death be progressive

[mellowb1rd]

You are just as connected to a carrot as a cow. Better lay off the veggies. If you are hungry, you have a right to eat. Humans would never have survived until now if they had tried to live as veggies. We must put our OWN species first because that is NATURAL. EVERY creature does that. We have as much right to eat a fish or cow as a lion does to eat a zebra. The ONLY thing that allows people to choose not to eat meat is the way we are tearing down forests to plant crops and build houses.

[SplurtaBeats]

So because animals don't have a voice you think it's right to kill them? It's clear everything in this universe is connected so when you kill and eat a cow you are killing a part of this beautiful creation, and you bring death in to your aura. If you think you are separate from animals then you've got a lot to learn and if that's the case this convo will end here. It's clear I made a typo so for you to make a joke on that just shows your arguement is weak
