The guy who was on Rogan's podcast that eats only meat apparently has terrible bloodwork that he can't explain.

Shawn Baker I wanna say?
Chris and Mark Bell(also a JR podcast)also does it (or one of them) can't remember but don't think they had results of their bloodwork. Peterson said he will give results of his bloodwork when he goes back home, but I'm not sure if or when that would happen or if he's just going to show Joe and not make it publicc

The human body is a complex thing. In theory there's no reason we shouldn't be able to run on only meat for long periods of time. Putting that into practice might prove otherwise though.

The Inuit survived on mostly red meat.

(I love that we are talking about LCHF and JP on the US politics forum :p )

This is Jordon Peterson's daughter Mikhaila -

I honestly think everyone is different in terms of dietary requirements, what works for one will make another sick.

Yeah, I don't disagree with this. Nutrition in general can be quite tricky and particular.

Pretty good article on why it's so messy.

With you on this as well. It pretty much comes down to the individual.

There are some practicalities like cost and preparation of food involved with these things that I don't really see people looking at, things like cost and preparation time.

I hope Jim Jordan becomes the next Speaker.

I doubt the allegations of knowledge of sexual abuse will sink his campaign.

Damn! You're a Catholic priest. Sorry if I've offended you previously. Also, sorry about the "damn"... One Our Father and two Hail Mary's and we good?

Sexual abuse allegations are starting to get overused. Soon it won't even matter and everyone would have been accused of raping 10 children.

Yes that is how dangerous the lefties are making it.

So you think there's nothing wrong with a wrestling coach molesting his kids, then when the kids complain about it the whole story gets hushed up?

As if sexual abuse allegations are the sole product of the left.

Cough ... Pizza gate



There is your problem.
I'm all for taking Pizza gate seriously and sending a bunch of people on all sides to jail, but no we can't have that because it's a crazy conspiracy theory that can never be true because it was some lefties.

Army has started kicking out immigrants, too.

Immigrant U.S. Army reservists and recruits who enlisted in the military with a promised path to citizenship are being abruptly discharged, the Associated Press has learned.

Guys from military media (Defense One, Task & Purpose) really angry. Something Mattis said wouldn't happen. Promise broken, shocker.

The Brazilian is odd. The Pakistani and the Iranian I don’t agree with but I can understand from a security point of view.

What about idiots like Alex Fields, will they have an effect on the election? The right loves to feel victimised over idiotic events like this but truthfully it's quite mild compared to some of the stuff perpetrated by the far right extremists in the US

One makes MSM and the other doesn’t, tell me which will have more effect in the long run.

Sorry, thought he was some political person, had to google his name to see he was the Charlottes college guy.

I don’t see how you think the right likes to play victim when the left does as well.

/shrug. The original story you posted is terrible behavior, but it pales next to some of the stuff perpetrated by the far right. That's all I'm saying. If you think something like this ****er throwing a drink into a kid's face is going to make people vote Trump, what about the racial hate attacks by MAGA'ers? What about stuff like this:

The list goes on...
