Someone asked me about some new Netflix documentary saying low protein was the way to go for health.

Let me put it this way: if the TV told you something about health, it's most likely wrong. That's the default.

This is my conclusion, too. Same of most nutritionists and similar “experts.” It depends on what you’re doing, but my ideal diet is lots and lots of meat, some carbs and veg, and a a bit of fruit.

The only thing that’ll stop me eating the meat I need is if they throw me in jail for it.

I personally believe, the more I research it, that we could see a truly *massive* increase in consumption in the US if we truly alleviate the worries of healthcare.

I believe this too, especially since healthcare is most like a Giffen good. And it exerts a massive direct and indirect drag on the entire economy. The direct drag is just how expensive it is and the indirect is people not wanting to change jobs, or quit bad jobs, because they will lose their health care.

And people like me who can afford it who keep way more in reserve in savings and investment vehicles in case a health crisis occurs.
