Out of every conceivably controversial topic that I've ever discussed, ever, out of the...
The most difficult discrimination I've ever had to...
Well, I say that figuratively and somewhat mockingly, but still, it's true.
The problems I've had to deal with has to do with eating, food, dieting, and letting people know what you eat.
Eating is still the most confounding...
Issue for most Americans who fight with weight, health, weight-related maladies and diseases in the leg, diabetes and hypertension, you name it, and still can't figure it out.
The billions and billions of dollars spent on diets and diet aids and discussion and eating is the simplest thing around.
But people will talk themselves out of it.
It's fascinating.
People don't understand that what we are talking about in terms of eating is about not just health and not just, you know, looking good, but living, living without disease, if at all possible.
Especially as you get older because it's an investment.
Listen, when you're young you can do whatever you want.
But it is incredible.
When I went about 14 years ago plant-based.
I don't say the V word.
I don't say it.
I don't say it.
I'm plant-based.
Okay?
Plant-based.
That's it.
I didn't make a big deal out of it.
I didn't tell anybody anything.
I didn't lecture anybody.
I just kind of kept it quiet.
And then when somebody would say, hey, I noticed, would you like some of this?
No, that's okay.
Why?
What's the matter?
Sometimes it's like when people don't drink.
What's the matter?
Why aren't you drinking?
Well, why not?
Well, if you think that's something, wait until you tell somebody, you don't eat.
And they will look at you with amazement, contempt, stultifying curiosity.
I'm going to explain to you the secret of feeling great.
A secret that nobody will listen to.
Health benefits that you cannot possibly.
Possibly find fault with that nobody wants to hear.
But I think you might.
So, in any event, listen carefully.
But first, oh yes, a word from our sponsor.
Thank you.
Here's how it went.
About 14 years ago, for a reason I don't want to go into it, it's not that interesting.
I wanted to do something really to change the way I lived my lifestyle.
I was, and still am in my heart, the consummate carnivore.
I love meat.
Keep the sides.
Just let me eat the meat.
My number one, Passion then and still now, because I've never lost it, is barbecue.
Barbecue beef ribs, Texas style.
Number one, and anything pork.
Pork, whole hog, chicharrones, crackling, just anything.
I love it.
I've never once ever said, You know what?
I've lost the taste for it.
I haven't.
I live a pretty monastic lifestyle.
I don't really have any...
I don't involve any kind of stimulants other than coffee.
I live a pretty, you know...
I don't want to say boring.
It's not boring at all.
I just don't, you know...
And that's fine.
I don't care about it.
No wine.
I'm not interested in that.
But meat?
Oh, God.
I watch meat.
Documentaries like, I don't want to say meat porn, that's terrible to say this, but I mean, almost to the point where I watch food blogs sometimes and think, oh my god, I'd love that.
Oh my god.
But about 14 years ago, I said, I've got to do something.
Because, you know, you get to the back nine and...
And I went to a doctor and he said, let me ask you something.
He said, you know, we can do different cholesterol things and all that kind of jazz.
You know, you can try to eat a little bit better.
Nobody really does.
I mean, how do you eat less?
He said, would you ever think about going vegetarian?
I don't know why.
A couple of years ago, somebody would have said that.
I'd say, would you ever think about not breathing?
Vegetarian?
Oh, dear God, no.
What is the matter with you?
Vegetarian.
Please, dear God.
Vegetarian?
No meat?
No.
Because like most people, I came up with all these.
Well, you see, man, you see, we're a carnivore.
And we point these little canines as though this little thing is somehow, you know, indicative of some flesh ripping, you know, some wolf or something.
And this justifies, you know, a...
A Brazilian churrascaria, you know, something because of this.
And we...
I don't want to go through this.
But we all did this.
We all had to say, you know, it's good for you.
This is what I would have said then.
But something said...
You know what?
Let me read about this.
So I read this book called The China Study by Colin Campbell.
And that was like a light.
And I...
Believe it or not, I'm going to say something which is perhaps maybe the strangest thing I've ever said, but I'm going to say it.
I wanted something to do in my life at that point that was demonstrative.
I've never run a marathon.
I don't think I'd ever run one.
I don't want to run one.
I have an argument for that too.
You see, we are bipedal versus quadrupeds.
We're unable to translate energy and therefore we're not designed to run and it's unnatural.
I've got an argument for that too.
But anyway, I said, but I really want to do something which I think is demonstrative, something that makes a real impact, a real...
It takes a lot of guts to do that.
So I said, alright, I'm going to try it.
And then later on, it got into full-blown, we don't say the V word, we say whole foods, plant-based.
Actually, plant-based, whole foods, no oil.
This is the one I'll get to in a moment.
14 years, been doing great.
I've got the cholesterol levels of an infant.
I feel terrific.
I have lost a ton of weight then.
Weight was always a problem all my life.
Always, always, always, always.
And believe it or not, When you meet somebody and you tell somebody, well, you know, the first question they do is, well, where do they get your protein?
And they look concerned.
Where do you get your protein?
Do you get your protein?
Do you get enough protein?
Dave, I'm worried about you.
Do you get enough protein?
Well, yeah.
Do you get enough protein?
Are you sure?
Do you get enough protein?
They're worried about this.
One guy told me, he asked me, as he was smoking a cigarette, so help me God, at a funeral, this sounds like a joke, as he's tamping out his cigarette, he says, where do you get your, Amino acids.
I said, you're worried about amino acids.
You get them from food.
Plants.
Beans.
Legumes.
Green leafy vegetables.
Fruit.
What?
Because we have this idea that the protein comes from an animal.
Calcium comes from where?
That's right.
Milk.
Dairy.
No.
Food.
Breakfast.
I mean, fruit.
You know, green peppers and this and that.
Or green, leaf, kale, beans.
What?
Calcium.
Oh, God.
Oh, and protein.
Protein.
We love protein.
You've got to get enough protein.
When was the last time anybody ever went to a doctor and a doctor says, you need more protein?
Unless you're starving yourself or you're some kind of a camp or something.
You know, you're...
Or God forbid you have an eating disorder.
Maybe that's a problem.
But most people do not have that.
Also, they say, well, you know, this is the best one ever.
I tell people, too.
And you know, I stay away from olive oil.
You what?
What?
Olive oil.
Olive oil.
That's good for you.
I said, but that's 100% fat.
What?
That's, that's, that's where people go, my grandmother's Italian.
I said, what does that have to do with anything?
This isn't the logic.
It's good for you.
It's good, it's good, it's good fat.
Good fat?
Well, that's, I, you know, read this.
Good fat?
What are you talking about?
When was the last time a doctor told you, Jerry, you've got to get more fat.
You've got to get more fat.
Nobody's ever said this.
You get plenty of fat.
Fat is not a problem.
Believe me, believe me, there's one thing Americans don't eat is fat.
That's why I don't tell anybody.
So if in the event, if for some particular reason you feel it incumbent upon you to pursue this, I wish you the best.
Please contact me if you'd like.
I'll be able to help you any way you can.
It's your decision.
Please check with your doctor.
I'm no physician.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm not...
But I want you to understand something.
You will meet...
You will meet people who are as focused on dietary biases than you could ever imagine.
I'm just warning you.
So remember, see your physician.
Not a doctor.
Not giving you any advice.
No, no, no, no, no.
But it's been done for a gazillion years.
Read Colin Campbell.
Read Caldwell Esselstyn.
Just read.
And what has been done to reverse heart disease?
It's just incredible.
Incredible.
The medicine, the magic of food, your endothelium will thank you.
Look it up.
All right, my friends.
Have a great and glorious day.
