A calcium tablet gives you calcium. A wedge of hard cheese gives you calcium, plus the vitamin K2 that tells that calcium to line your bones instead of your arteries. A vitamin D capsule gives you vitamin D. An egg yolk gives you vitamin D, plus the fat and the cholesterol your body was going to build the hormone out of anyway. An iron tablet gives you iron, and a fortnight of misery. A slice of liver gives you iron your body actually absorbs, plus the retinol and the copper that move it into your blood. A zinc tablet gives you zinc. A dozen oysters give you zinc, plus the copper, the selenium and the B12 that always shipped in the same box. A B12 pill gives you B12. A lamb chop gives you B12, plus the iron, the protein and the fat it was always meant to ride in on. An omega-3 softgel gives you fish oil that went rancid in the factory. A mackerel gives you the same fats, still fresh, inside the food that protects them. The supplement gives you the noun. The food gives you the whole sentence. They took one word out of the food, patented it, and sold it back with the grammar removed. A pharmacy is a butcher's shop with the meat taken out and the mark-up left in.

nutrient density

This is wild. We have been lied to about everything We were told chicken is a health food, we’ve been told it’s what we should all be eating According to nutrient density information by multiple sources including the USDA, it ranks nearly dead last. Here’s the order for nutrient dense meat (generally) - Beef (especially grass-fed; high in protein, zinc, iron, B vitamins, creatine) - Lamb (often tops lists for nutrient density per serving; excellent fats, minerals, B vitamins) - Bison (very lean, high protein, strong mineral profile; frequently #1 or #2 vs. others) - Venison (lean, nutrient-packed game meat; high vitamins/minerals per calorie) - Fish (varies: fatty fish like salmon excel in omega-3s; high in protein/selenium) - Pork (good protein/minerals but often ranks below ruminants; varies by cut) And all the way at the bottom is chicken: - Chicken is excellent for lean protein but generally much lower in key micronutrients and fats compared to all the above We have been lied to about everything One of the big reason we switched from mainly eating mainly beef and other meats is marketing from major companies like Tyson Chicken was historically more of a delicacy or seasonal food in the US, not everyday staple like beef or pork. Mid-20th century campaigns by companies like Tyson and others successfully repositioned it as a cheap, healthy, everyday “lean protein” alternative Marketing played a major role in shifting consumer habits, emphasizing health and nutrition angles while industrial production scaled up dramatically. This was classic marketing to expand market share You should be upset

Your body rebuilds

 

Sama Hoole

@SamaHoole

Nobody profits from telling you the body heals itself. So nobody tells you. Your taste buds are new every 10 to 14 days. The tongue reading this flavour is a fortnight old. Your stomach lining rebuilds every 3 to 5 days. Last week's gut is already gone. Your skin turns over every 4 weeks. You grew a whole new surface this month. Your white blood cells renew in days. Tonight's immune army was not on watch last week. Your red blood cells retire every 120 days. Four months, and the entire fleet is replaced. The fat built into your cell membranes turns over too. Years of stored seed oil can slowly be walked back out. Your liver just gets on with regenerating. It holds no grudge about the bad years. Your skeleton rebuilds over roughly ten years. The bones made in the worst years are not the ones you finish with. Every one of those rebuilds is made from what you feed it. Feed it meat, fat, sunlight and sleep, and it builds you strong. Feed it sugar, seed oil and the sofa, and it builds you soft. The body you will have next year is under construction right now. What you give it today is what it builds you into.

Best plant-based diet ever invented

Eat a mouthful of grass and you get nothing. It goes in green and comes out green. Eat straw and you get nothing. Your gut cannot touch cellulose. Eat acorns and you get tannins, and a very bad afternoon. Eat bracken and you get a carcinogen. Eat nettles, thistles, brambles, rushes and moorland heather and you get a mouth full of blood and no calories. Eat the beet pulp, the oat husks and the spent brewer's grain and you get the waste the factory couldn't sell. Now feed the lot of it to a cow. She turns every one of them into steak, butter, cream, milk and a hide, on land that will never grow a vegetable, using four stomachs and a fermentation vat you do not have. The grass she eats grew on rain and sunlight, for free, on a hillside nobody can plough. She is the only creature on earth that can take a field of inedible fibre and hand you back the most nutrient-dense food there is. The cow is not competing with you for food. She eats the ninety percent you cannot. Best plant-based diet ever invented. It just has a cow in the middle doing the hard part.

People see empty grassland. A cow sees dinner. Humans get nutrient-dense food from land we'd otherwise get very little from.

MARC ANDREESSEN on Rogan for 3 hours

MARC ANDREESSEN WENT ON ROGAN FOR OVER 3 HOURS. HERE ARE THE 17 THINGS WORTH YOUR ATTENTION. 1. AGI is already here, in his view. He says the line got crossed about 3 months ago with GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, and Grok 4.3, and nobody noticed because the field moves too fast to register milestones anymore. 2. For almost any topic, he says the top models now give him better answers than the world-class experts he could call by phone, and he can call almost anyone. Worth noting he has not published data behind this, and a separate Nature Medicine study on a comparable AI health tool found it missed real emergencies more than half the time. Take the claim seriously, verify it yourself. 3. His claim on doctors: they are already using ChatGPT in the exam room, typing your symptoms in the moment you stop talking. His actual quote: "at that point you're asking the question of like, what do I need you for." 4. Reportedly, when AI declines to answer something, he tells it he's writing a novel to get past the refusal. 5. Reportedly, his technique for hard topics is escalating simplicity: explain it like I'm 10, then 5, then 2, until it clicks. 6. Reportedly, instead of asking for the "right" answer, he has the AI steelman both sides of a hard question, then decides himself. 7. Reportedly, for big questions he has the AI role-play a panel of experts arguing with each other. 8. His broader point: the moment you think "I don't know how to figure this out" is exactly when most people give up, and exactly when you should open the AI instead. 9. His view: the only real skill left is knowing what to ask. The bottleneck is in your head, not the model. 10. He describes sending AI photos, rashes, blood tests, for a fast second opinion, since current models read images directly. 11. He points to CBT as the one clinically proven therapy type that AI can plausibly deliver on its own, meaning real therapeutic support becomes freely available at scale. 12. He cites AI cracking previously unsolved math problems, with early signs of the same happening in physics, chemistry, and biology. 13. Reportedly, he claims the top AI coders in Silicon Valley now earn as much as $50 million a year, which he uses as a signal of how large this shift actually is. 14. Reportedly, a friend paid to sequence his own DNA, fed it to an AI along with blood work and wearable data, and got back a working health dashboard. 15. Reportedly, another friend set up cameras in his home jiu-jitsu gym so AI could review his sparring and give him technique notes. 16. He coined the term "AI vampire" for the pattern of people working more and sleeping less because AI keeps making more output possible, a real term he used, though the framing around it varies by account. 17. His extrapolation: one person eventually running many AI coding agents, each reviewing the others, describing this as close, not years out. Watch the full interview before treating any single number as settled. Several of these are Andreessen's stated views and anecdotes, not independently verified facts.
