Although Barbara O’Neil is a vegetarian and Seventh Day Adventist. Just in case those worldview biases matter to some.
SDA’s are philosophically vegetarian, so they will automatically dismiss any health claims related to animal foods. Just FYI. I am NOT saying all her stuff is wrong. I *am* saying that a lot of us benefit from including animal foods in our diets, and she is going to ignore that information. That’s all.
(My mom loves Barbara O’Neil and has tried to get my spouse and me to watch her. Meanwhile we keep up with our highly animal based low carb lifestyle and are reasonably healthy whilst Mom keeps up with no healthy lifestyle not even Barbara’s and has become obese with a multitude of other problems. So sad and maddening.)
I hear ya. I too value animal fats and feel very strongly that most of the stuff God put on this earth are GOOD for us. The food pyramid is a JOKE as is margarine, skim milk, “egg beaters” and all
that rot.
Barbara is a baby I won’t throw out with the bath water.
BF and I are on a mostly carnivore diet - after his years of service in special forces, he beat his body up tremendously and has chronic back and joint pain. Eating carnivore has reduced that pain about 75% and he feels GREAT! Our cheat days would be with a fresh salad or sautéed veggies in olive oil, LOL!
I work in Functional Medicine - if one has chronic disease and they are on a strictly veg diet, it is VERY obviously not working for them. Most people cannot consume enough to get proper nutritional value out of just plants. Fun fact - in most of these "veggie based diets" you see people eating a ton of grains (even gluten free grains) which carry a massive mycotoxin load or eating processed foods that use citric acid (made from black mold) as preservatives which is also incredibly toxic for humans. There is also a massive toxic load in plants from pesticides and other poisons that are in the water that get absorbed into the plants that one eats - we find this all the time with the tox panels we run. Fascinating stuff!
My grandmother is a centenarian and has lived her life drinking real heavy cream and eating butter by the spoonful, in addition to her habit of eating meat as she still has all her teeth. Everyone is different and for many animal foods, including delicious dairy, are or have become essential for their nutrition. “Health care” folks have been way too quick to throw out what can be truly beneficial.
Same here....my grandmother lived to 99 (she was a farm girl), and my mother made it to 95. Neither of them had any health issues, their minds were solid until the end, they took no meds. I grew up on all the real, full fat animal foods and still eat them. I'm 74 now, my normal lifelong weight, no meds, everything is great.
I have celiac disease, which in addition to reacting badly to wheat/rye/barley, I also do don't well with corn and some other grains. I have a pretty sensitive digestive system, and despite loving most vegetables I simply could not live on them because I can tolerate them in small amounts only. However, I do best and feel wonderful on a mostly meat/egg diet. I could never be a vegetarian and survive. So we're all different. I do know more than a few vegetarians and vegans who eventually had to go back to eating meat for health reasons. The veggies just didn't do it for them.
