Those larger amounts of meat are only available for people who can afford cookbooks.

Tell them the amount of meat they (traditional Asians) have eaten has been a thimble full a week. The rest is rice with a few vegetables.

My parents and grandparents are from Thailand, and they ate mostly rice and vegetables. They lived off the land in the villages. Meat was expensive and they could not afford it. They probably ate meat once or twice a year. Now that they're here in America and brainwashed by what's healthy, my grandfather had two heart attacks and has had colon cancer and my father has high cholesterol.

Rice is for humans, oil is for cars. Do not mix the two around.

Nice vid John and you're 100% right that it's about the overall goal and direction. White rice is still a low fat plant food staple. Had a white roll today and no longer feel like a crack addict lol.

... the correlation is that, as the consumption of fish and other meats has risen in Japan (and the consumption of rice has gone down), the rate of diabetes has skyrocketed, as has the rate of obesity. This is Dr. McDougall's whole point: Chinese and Japanese people can eat meat and get sick just like anybody else; but, historically, they were too poor to afford that kind of sickness.

People who are known for eating most parts of an animal (rather than select cuts) are obviously people who couldn't afford meat in the past. It isn't that Chinese and Japanese people wouldn't have wanted to eat meat, if they could have afforded it. But, their circumstance actually saved them from a lot of health problems, that they are only now discovering by moving toward a more Western diet. Dr. Neal Barnard has shown this correlation...

@drmcdougallmd I just told them that, then they said Chinese are known for eating most parts of an animal, and the Japanese eat a lot of fish. Then they showed me a Chinese cookbook which had recipes with meat larger than a thimble. I showed them your starch solution lecture, and they said although the largest and successful civilizations ate starches, there was also no civilization that did not go without animal flesh of some kind. Then they told me to stop complaining to them and eat meat.

You need to be a car enthusiast to understand the whole statement.
