Become aware of the addictive properties of food, and then become aware of how scientists, food scientists, maximize these properties to influence your behaviors to maximize their profits.

That's right, engineered food, aka processed foods or foods created in a laboratory are designed for 1 reason, to make you overeat.

And yes, they're way more powerful than your discipline is.

But step 1 is become aware that you're becoming manipulated or that you are being manipulated.

You know, that makes me think of something right now that I didn't really cross my mind until you just said this right now, with this rise of lab-grown meat.

And we always talk about how targeting protein, because it's satiating.

I wonder if that's going to apply to these foods that are engineered, like to, I mean, maybe it loses those properties.

their best interest that you get addicted just like potato chips.

Listen, first off, just to strengthen or support what you're saying, like food science is a huge industry.

And these are scientists who all they do is figure out how to make food more and more irresistible.

So classically, salt, sugar, and fat are the 3 most important ingredients when it comes to palatability, making something enjoyable.

So they understand that, but then they go to the millionth degree with everything and the combination of everything.

And this is why heavily processed foods, when everything's controlled, macros are controlled, Everything's controlled, left to your own devices.

You'll eat 5 to 600 more calories a day, just naturally because that's how powerful they are.

They're just so powerful, they make you overeat, and you don't necessarily feel like

First off, you have now the ability to patent meat.

So with the way patents work is you can't patent something that's natural.

Because patented foods can become very profitable and you can protect yourself against competition.

Well, if you grow it in a lab, now the potential, because it's a product, it's no longer meat, it's a meat product, you now have the potential to patent it.

And their goal, like all businesses' goals, is to profit, right?

So it only makes sense that they will find a way through the process of growing this meat in the lab to make it more and more irresistible.

Well, they could probably change the marbling of the fat.

They can make the muscle fibers appear a little bit different.

They could increase or decrease certain fatty acids, certain nutrients, all for the sake of making you want to buy more of it.

Now I know they're selling it under the guise of it's better for the environment.

It's not hurting animals by the way, by the way, let me read something to you because that's all false.

Why is it always, yeah, because it, there's always things like that when you go actually do the research of like what it actually takes to produce, like in the energy sector, let's say, like where things get promoted so much, but really they're still relying on like fossil fuels to like power a lot of the engines that are actually gathering the wind or Let's say

So Reese they actually have done research on this.

So researchers at UC Davis are Warning, there are major environmental downsides to lab-grown meat.

So they're trying to sell lab-grown meat and say it's better for the environment.

I guess the farts of the cows or whatever.

They do things for the environment that are very positive.

But anyway, Here's the analysis from UC Davis.

Lab-grown meat industry produces, ready for this, up to 25 times more CO2 than traditional animal husbandry.

Which nullifies the core ideological foundation, right, upon which the industry is built.

So each kilo of cultured meat, it produces anywhere from

to 3, 300 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions.

So that's again, 4 to 25 times greater than that of conventional beef.

By the way, cultured meat is the term that they're using.

So the argument that they would try and say is that, well, of course, Sal, that's because this is all new technology and we, over time, We will refine it and get it down to where it's significantly better.

I don't think it is, but let's say it because I know what the goal is.

The goal is, can we patent meat and can we sell it as a meat product?

Because that'll allow you to do it, but fine.

By the way, the other argument that, oh, it's not hurting animals.

It's not hurting animals right at Present so this is what's happening right now most cultured meat companies use fetal bovine serum as the growth medium, which is obtained from unborn calves that are cut out of the womb and drained of their blood while still alive.

So this, the whole premise- Still gotta get meat from meat.

The whole premise of it's not hurting animals and it's better for the environment is not just incorrect.

And if we go in that direction and allow the market to move in that direction, we're actually going to be eating, as of right now, natural meat is 1 of the most satiating, best, quote unquote, diet foods you can have.

It's hard to overeat meat, very hard to overeat meat because it's so high in protein.

Try to overeat on a carnivore, it's impossible.

But they'll find a way to make meat in a lab that is like processed food, and then they'll patent it.

Isn't this just like psychological games?

So if it looks less like something that came directly from the animal, like let's say like a hot dog, right?

Like people look at a hot dog, it's just like, it's just meat, you know?

Like it's, you don't associate that immediately with like a pig.

And the health negatives that they find with meat in studies are because they don't control for processed meat.

Oh, it's meat, but it's actually salami and bologna and all this other stuff.

Now, if you care about the environment and you care about animals, first off, don't go through lab-grown meat.

I just told you the stats and the facts, but go with companies that source from animals that are raised traditionally, that are grass fed, fish that's wild caught.

ButcherBox is a company we work with that does that.

And because ButcherBox eliminates the middlemen, the price of the meat is comparable to the cheap conventional grown stuff that you get at the grocery store.

So you get a box of meat, grass-fed, wild-caught, healthier, better fatty acid.

It's all natural, but also better for the environment, better for the animals.

And that's definitely by far the best direction you can go right now, unless they invent something, but they're not going to.

I have been waiting for the next ButcherBox commercial.

It's been eating away at me to hold this in for a week.

I'm like, when this damn commercial comes so I can talk about this, holy shit.

I had their breakfast country potato skillet mix.

It now comes cooked, you just warm it up.

You just dump it out into your iron skillet, heat it up.

We throw some eggs in there and mix it up, and Katrina wrapped it as a breakfast burrito for me.

It was the best breakfast burrito I've ever had.

Just in a bag, and it's all readily chopped up.

don't know if you've so you found the add-ons right if you go to your box you do it as an hour

I'm not the 1 who orders my wife does I know

the 1 she's just good about you know cycling through new things now

And she didn't even tell me, so I didn't know.

She's just like, oh, I wanna make you these breakfast burritos.

And so she didn't even tell me, she just did it.

Like if I go to my box, is that what you got to do for it?

And the macros on this thing are, I think, pretty solitude.

Ah, so it's like a, it's like a, you know, kind of a balanced out.

Dude, with 19 grams of protein already, you add 2 or 3 eggs and nothing, and you got an awesome high protein.

And then eat a side of like sauteed spinach or something.

Well, they're chicken nuggets that we've talked about a million times, they're gluten-free ones.

It's the best chicken nuggets that you eat at your house that I've ever had in my entire life.

And I've had a lot of chicken nuggets, I have 4 kids.

It's the best, but there is nothing that comes close.

To the point where we got them originally for my two-year-old, and who do you think's eating them now?

That's what he eats almost every single day.

I gotta tell you guys, but to speaking to kids, dude, my little baby daughter, She's too young for this, but she's already figured out that she can, like a puppet, just pull the strings with me.

And little girls just have this power over dads.

It's true, If you're a dad and you got a boy and a girl or, you know, kids, multiple kids, you know, you're just your daughter, just they just they can do that for whatever reason.

I think little boys do that with their moms, too, by the way.

So anyway, you know, I'll take over at night sometimes and feed her.

So she wakes up and she's going through a leap.

So you can actually, this is really cool.

I think you showed me this a long time ago.

These things are so, for us it's been very accurate for us.

Like literally, not to cut your story off, but since you brought

Katrina and I noticed, like, Max was kind of off this week.

And we actually, he's getting so old, we don't even use that app.

And she's like, you know what, let me pull that up just to kind of see where we're at.

It was like exactly what he was acting out and doing.

It was like, those things are pretty, for us they've been, I know some people are like, oh, my son's not like that,

Super spot on with Aurelius and now with Dolan.
