Offal

But I grew up with every bit of the animal.

Offal was our favourite thing.

So when I consider the times that I grew up, I'm 81 now, so it was pretty boring in the shops but not in our household.

Have your taste buds changed much over the years?

Yeah, great question here.

Dee says, "Is cod liver sufficient as organ meat?" So cod liver comes from the, the cod fish, and it is the liver of that cod fish, and it is absolutely a super food.

I, I love cod liver.

It's one of the first livers that I actually enjoyed eating.

I was like, cause I guess they congeal it and there's like cooked, there's uncooked congealed pork and they sell it in like blocks.

Uh, so you can get it uncooked and you can also get it cooked and I was like And my like my wife was like you you better not because you like you'll know that like i'll get organs meat and shit like i'm the kind of guy that eats all sorts of stuff like Um, like i'll eat like I like to buy like occasionally if I go like some what they call offals O-f-f-a-l is like organ meat and stuff.

I just think it's probably good for you and like whatever fry it up eat it Whatever.

It's just protein.

And so, but I would say vegetables are sort of that second category of super foods we want to be getting in our food for longevity.

And third is gonna be meat, but let's highlight organ meats.

You know, organ meats are what I would consider nature's greatest methylation supplements and B vitamin supplements, you know? Uh, a lot of people today have concerns over this MTHFR gene variant or the one of the two or both variants.

Mm-hmm.

And just because you have the gene variant or have both, that doesn't mean you can't methylate.

Same thing with vitamin D, you need magnesium, you need K2, and you need fatty acids.

Mm-hmm.

So, so my point with that is everything is absorbed better in its food form with all the other nutrients that are in there, and that's what I really like about liver and I really like about organ meats.

Price Foundation is provide the, we have 11 principles of healthy traditional diets.

And the main principle is that they were very rich in minerals and what we call the fat soluble vitamins, which we get from organ meats, animal fats, and certain seafoods, foods that people don't eat much anymore.

And these are vitamins A, D, and K. K was called the price factor.

And we need these vitamins to absorb the minerals.

And they should be.

And there's actually a precedent for this in traditional cultures.

They pounded up meats and organ meats and let them dry in the sun.

They dried oysters, they did, yeah.

So we call it deep nutrition and we have five superfood groups is what we call it because there's so much nutrition in each one of these groups.

One of those and probably number one is organ meats for sure.

And then we love ferments.

We love raw dairy.

And of course, organic grain.

But there's so much nutrition.

Those are powerhouses of nutrition, as people well know with the organ meats.

But that's what we need.

76 to 80, the character experiences an overpowering urge to eat something strange, such as dirt, slime, or offal.

What is that? Define offal.

Offal refers to the internal organs or entrails of a butchered animal.

I've never heard of that term in my entire life.

Oh, my God.

this is grilled up with some garlic

right, so he's the liver king is because he eats a lot of liver, is that it? so organ meats like liver are very nutrient rich things like certain vitamins like vitamin A for example, iron, very concentrated so it can be helpful for example, someone is deficient in one of those nutrients, there are studies with children who are deficient in certain vitamins and you give them organ meats and you see improvement very rapidly or somebody can't get enough of those nutrients in their diet for some reason yeah these foods are an option, they're not necessary in a diet, you can have a healthy diet without organ meats that covers all your needs but you can also have a diet put together with some organ meats eaten in moderation you want to watch out for excess though, when you start eating neem diets with massive amounts of this you can get into problems because those same vitamins, you can get too much of them.

hypervitaminosis is actually a thing with vitamin A for example.

now it's not a common thing with most people, it's not something that most people need to worry about but when you get into these fad meme diets that's when these problems start to pop up.

that's personal

we got about two to three ounces of some raw liver

again two to three ounces of liver if this is beef liver two ounces would be 2800 micrograms so almost three milligrams that's almost the upper limit for the whole day just in that little cup plus that other bowl he said there's some liver in there as well as some pancreas and whatnot he's probably easily over the safe upper limit for the whole day just with this meal plus that liver supplement he says he takes breakfast lunch and dinner right now do i believe that he actually eats like this i'd be surprised it's probably all show if i had to guess but the point is the target audience that's going to watch this the impressionable 16 year old boys they're going to watch this and think oh this is what you eat to be jacked they're gonna go eat the same thing and if they eat this consistently daily they're probably gonna run into issues also did he say it's raw liver? about two to three ounces of some raw liver yep do not eat raw organs whatever you do you're basically risking food poisoning for no benefit there's no upshot they find contamination in raw offal or organ meats offal is another word for organ meats pretty commonly some of the common ones they find are salmonella and e coli one study found salmonella in most samples of raw organ meats that they examined another found e coli in 60% of beef liver samples and more than 90% chicken liver samples.

maybe you'll get lucky but you don't want to play that Russian roulette.

... thing.

And organ meat.

My question to you, uh, is should I do anything different for my rehab i- in, in macros-wise or, or, or... 'Cause I know my insulin's gonna go up, right? 'Cause your body's traumatized.

Whether it stays up is irrelevant, correct? I, I, I think I'm metabolically a- healthy.

That's right.

So my, my, but my question, though, to you is, do you think I have to, like, a- do anything...

Like, when I, after the surgery I craved, uh, for example, um, organ meat, like, like crazy.

And, like, I guess, yeah.
