i love this guy, he sings my song! :D

I don't believe everything those experts say.

Its very simple, people eat to much and move to little.
A healthy way of living is simple. no smoking, no alcohol. eat less meat, more fruit and vegetables.In general move more (just walking is enough)

People always think they have to eat a lot. But that is not true.
i never see any of those experts staying ''eat less''
its better to eat one apple and one carrot then eating a whole menu of Mcdonalds...

i don't believe in having three meals a day is needed. Some people eat more during the dinner, then me the entire day.
When i was in the army, i was eating those organised 3 meals a day. Even while doing sports, i become fat.
Now sometimes i just eat one meal a day. and i feel great. Never been sick my entire life. I believe its in the genes, every human is different.
Its the same thing with poor or average people who did hard labor and smoked, and they eventually reached the age of 100. Then you got rich celebrities or those royalties that didn't even reach the age of 40 and already got cancer? (while they have the best healthcare)

A healthy lifestyle is important. But i believe a good percentage of our health is based on your genes.

That simple it is not, and on veggies and fruits I must strictly object. Its unwanted fibres and carbohydrates=sugars, the content in micro and macro nutrients is much overestimated and got further degraded over the past 100 years by factors up to 8-9 due to the sterilization and destruction of fertile grounds, and the bioavailabilty of those limited amounts of nutrients gets further reduced by active anti-nutrients in plants. But our metabolism is biochemically defined, and this definition says: predominant input please animal protein, animal fat. And its like that since several million years of biological evolution. It has been shown very clearly that the physical degeneration of man started immediately when man started to settle down and started agricultural farming 12.000 years ago. There was no delay!

Then you have no cared to listen closer. They say that all the time. Ketonegic diet, carnivore and intermittend fasting are about that. The criticism of snack options being omnipresent is often voiced, and so is in many of the videos I linked.

I would prefer eggs and butter, but avoiding fast food is part of the remedy, absolutely.


I agree there, three meals is not needed. And mind you, nutrition experts of the mainstream want you to eat even more, 5 servings of fruits, 7 servings of veggies, two servings of full corn, for example. All this thinking is no dietary or health-related thinkling, but in the end is about selling: selling the inferior content in the supermarket.

Left to this description alone, this is of anecdotal value only. It depends on WHAT you were eating, and drinking (soft and energy drinks on my mind), and wether seed oils were consumed or not. And of course how much is being eaten, yes. Even a carnivore can gain weight if he exaggerates it with the fat intake. Thats why it is recommended to leave fat intake to the content of the meat you eat, but not add more fat for exmaple in the form of cheese, or cream in the coffee (which I both do, I admit, due to variation of taste).

One thing to make it clear, carnivore is no weight loss diet, it is a weight optimization diet. It happens to a lot of people, me included, that you lose weight fast, and then gain some weight again - and in this case this is not the often quoted jojo-effect, but is due to changes in the metabolism. With the jojo, you would gain weight without limit, until you are where you started - and then often even exceed that value! I regained around one third of what I lost before - and since then stay stabile. Thats the big difference.

Yes, we are individuals, but there are profound biochemical and genetic design characteristics that we nevertheless share and that are unquestionable for every human being. I was sick a lot in my life, flus, coughs, seasonal virus things, every couple of weeks, for most of my life. It ended when I started to supplement, I got off my blood pressure meds when I started to alter diet (ketogenic) and I feel fantastic since I am a 90% carnivore :). I have not been ill, I cannot get ill anymore since 5, 6 years. Before that I was ill every 4-5 weeks. All my life! I was told for many years, and kept in fear that I would die early due to some mysterious neurological complication they even could not precisely identify. A story over! I am free of symptoms and pains, since years! Especially this is something I find hard to forgive the "doctors". Telling people they must die and keeping them in worry for years and years. For nothing.

I get what you want to point out, but I would be more cautious in wording it this way, it simplifies a complex matter.

Yes to both. I mentioned the 7th Day Adventist Church before, they are strictly vegan, many o nthem at least. They are indeed healthier on average than the average US populatipon on SAD. They sell veganism (they call it Garden Eden diet) by this correlation. However, they share the same biochemical basics with the rest of mankind, and so one can say that they are not healthier due to their diet, but due to other facts. And these are: they dont smoke. They dont take drugs. They dont drink alcohol. They indeed exercise more than others. They take less medications. And probably - this is my assumption - they dont eat all day long, from snack to snack. They are healthier not due to their diet, but despite their diet (because veganism is an instruction set for damaging yourself, its simply not a proper human diet, because it is not even near to complete, thats why statistically 17 in 20 US Americans and Candians must give up veganism on average after 5-6 years: they have then so serious health conditions - when when supplementing! - that they cannot stick to it any longer). If you follow to 100% a strictly vegan diet, YOU DIE, every time, that simple it is. Thus it CANNOT be the species-adequate proper human diet.


I eat within an 8 hour window. Close to noon I may have - or may have not - an omlette of three eggs with inlaying fatty pure cheese without any unneeded chemical ingredients (melting salts and the likes). Maybe two slices of bacon or ham. Always a mug of coffee with cream and a VERY MILD sweetness (black coffee makes me almost puking). And around 7 p.m. I start to fry myself some fatty beef, always a steak (Entrecote, almost the same like RibEye, both are fatty), depending on the size I may add one or two burger patties or a piece of lamb. Fish and chicken have disappeared from my card all by themselves. I use salt, no more black pepper (it stopped all by itself), I vary taste by using or not using herbal butter, Irish butter cheese, fresh feta cheese, or a fresh cheese with garlic arome (utmost delicous, Boursin is the brand name). I mostly have a carb-reduced beer with it: 8gr per half a litre.

My health and weight benefitted tremendously, as I often have described.

Golden rules as I see them:

- avoid plant seed oils (use tallow, butter or ghee, coconut oil, olive oil or avocado oil instead. Myself I get along with tallow and butter alone)
- avoid soft and energy drinks
- say farewell to the belief that cereals, corn flakes, veggies or fruits are healthy for us
- say farewell to the belief that we need fibre
- dratsically cut down or even delete bread, dough for pizza, potatoe, rice, pasta
- reduce or cut refined sugar, sweeteners, delete HFCS and other corn syprupo swetteneing sutff, honey, and all that sweet stuff. Sugar is sugar. Glucose is glucose, fructose is fructose.
- Avoid soy, lentils, nuts
- Repeat when I say: "fat does not make you fat, but carbohydrates make you fat". :)
- avoid "lite" and fat-reduced products.
- eat salt to your liking, do not artificially reduce it, if you are attracted by the taste of it, get it
- understand that cereals and corn products (bread) mostly are starch. In other words: sugar. They all drive insuline. Fat does not, proteine almost not.
- avoid stuff containing maltrose, maltrodextrine
- avoid industrially processed food
- avoid snacking
- dont trust mainstream doctors blindly
- eat as much as you feel attracted by the taste of your meat. Stop eating when that feeling and taste fade out. Thats how animals do it.
- have a 16-18 hour fast per day
- use the stairs, not the lift
- dont use the car for every little something
- if you can get yourself to it: exercise muscle training
- drink when you are thirsty. Dont drink becase the timetable says its time to do so. Beyond that, dont care more for it, they are making a religion of drinking these days. Its about business again! Our body knows it better. Several million years of evolution know it better than any "expert". Trust your body, listen to it. Drink when you want, dont if you dont want.

- supplement according to my usual recomendations, especially high doses of Vitamine D, Magnesium (in various forms, not necessarily MG oxide), K2-MK7, Zinc; then Iodine and Selenium; then liposomal Vitamin-C; a good Omega-3 source (either regular fatty sea fish or a daily fish oil, but always bottled and never encapsuled); and my secret tip: reduced coenzyme Q10, thats the more expensive form of it named Ubiquinol (not Ubiquinon, its bioavailability is very inferior in comparison!)

Omega-3 and Ubiquinol are the two misdoers who really drive the costs, they are expensive. For myself I decided that it is worth it for me. Everybody must make his own decision. My choice must not be yours.

Dying we must one day anyway. The only question is how we must live until then: in pain, weak, depending and miserably, or - better. I try to avoid suffering and later dependency. Not necessarily to extend my life.

Thanks for explanation Skybird. :Kaleun_Salute:

One point i want to go back too. Is that its sounds funny but you got people who really are focused on what they eat. And some people just don't care and eat everything there is. And sometimes (its still a minority) the guy who eats everything is sometimes healthier then the one who checks the food...


I think every human is really different. And your body adapts to the situation.
same with sickness. Some people do a lot of desk work. They go outside in the rain, they get sick or get a cold...
Construction workers for example who always work outside in the rain. Don't often get a cold.

Same story with Covid/Corona outbreak. I had people around me, that were infected with the Covid. They got cured. And they got reinfected a second and even a third time... I was in touch with those people who had Covid. And i never had any kind of Covid...

I do believe at some point i got infected by Covid. But i think i didn't had the symptoms.

You forget one factor nobody can avoid: age. Metabolic variables change over a life. I weighed 72 kg until I was mid-30 or so, but it all was muscle and sinew, I did martial arts, combat training and such stuff. I gained weight (up to a max of 93 kg, without having changed my diet and snacking back then, from late 30s on. So, my body could compensate the sins I committed in eating too many sweets when I was young, it now cant any longer. Granted, i also do much less sports. Other changes come with age, too, for exmaple with around 60 years or so the skin only has around 20-25% of its former capacity left to make vitamine D from sunlight. Insuline production changes, other hormonal balances change, but with age we usually loose in potential and capacity of organ functions. We better learn about that a bit, and adapt. Avoiding the sins of our youths when your bodies were more forgiving, spounds like a good idea.



I lost weight from around 93 to 76 kg, and then gained to around 83, 84 kg, where I am stable since longer time now.



BTW, I am neither fanatic nor do I have a festish on food, eating habits and such. I simply find the matter interesting, and I keep on informing myself, for scientific fascination last but not least. I do the things I describe, but I am not fanatical about it, nor messianic, in fact I occasionally do sin, and probably more than I should. In this way I am not so much on a mission but practice a hobby. :) Angry i only become when I see that politcal and social powers want to turn all people into vegetarians or vegans by increasingly denying alternatives to veganism and reducing the availabilty of meat and lifestock and want culling of cows and so forth, calling that climate friendly and CO2-reduction. Its a lie. A giant, brutal lie. And it harms the health of hundreds of millions of people, pushes them into physical and social and financial suffering, isolation, and in the end shortens their life expectancy and makes them dying ealrier than they must. Thats mass murder. And thats where I stop smiling.


On Covid, it si quite clear where the vorus hit the worst: where it met immune.-derpressed populations, Caretaking homes. Diabetics. Obese. I bet money on that if people were better supplied with vitmian D levels and where less insuline-resistent (diabetes, obesity), things would have gone much differently. And much less profitable for Biontec, Pfizer and Moderna. The virus only was strong because the population it hit was weak.



Its the same old story. Follow the money.


You may see why I give immune system optimization (not nessecarily strenghtening: an overshooting immune system can kill us and it killed many Ciovid victims) a rtop priority in eatiugn and supplementing. Its about a well balanced immune system. That is nature's reply to new virusses since millions of years.

:arrgh!:
Putting kids on statins. :dead: Prophylactically. Are you gangsters crazy...??

When we talk health, then we talk also: diet, food, eating. And we must consider current status and future trends in food production, therefore. It does and will effect our health.

I did another fun experiment with ChatGPT. And so that I do not get accused of naive believership again like the last time: I see ChatGPT neither as intelligent nor as a level of special expertise in itself. It is a clever interface for a search engine that does not provide you just links to original material (as long as you do not ask for these links at least), but that analyses and summarises the content of the linked websites, and compares them and forms them all up in one textual output format that is convenient to consume. A "meta level of the output format", so to speak. It does not make the content better or worse in quality, it just depends on the links it found and analysed. One should keep this in mind. It is not objectively better than somehtign else, but is subjectively basing on the links it found - and the bias of the coders who programmed its algorithms by which it weighs and interpretes the websites behind the links it found. So: manipulation in the background is possible. Google Search does so all the time, btw.

If one keeps these thinds on mind, one can have good fun, even good practical use from using these tools. Thats what they are: tools. No intelligent, self-aware beings. Its easy to demonstrate how easy they can be manipulated by suggestive questions, for example.

With this now out of the way, lets start with my questions and the results. I did it in German, of course.

----------------------------------------


Question: Könntest Du alle obigen Antworten von Dir für mich übersetzen und auf Englisch ausgeben?

ChatGPT: Certainly! Below is the translation of all my previous responses into English:




Question: 1. What were the global annual revenues for the pharmaceutical and food industries in 2023 and 2024?

1. Annual Revenues of the Global Pharmaceutical and Food Industries in 2023 and 2024

Pharmaceutical Industry: In 2023, global revenues from the pharmaceutical industry were estimated to be around $1.5 to $1.6 trillion. Revenues are expected to increase in the coming years, especially with the rise of innovations in areas such as biotechnology, personalized medicine, and oncology.
Projections for 2024 suggest a similar revenue range, with a potential increase to $1.7 trillion, depending on market factors and the approval of new medications.
Food Industry: The food industry is much larger than the pharmaceutical industry. In 2023, global food industry revenues were estimated to be around $8 to $9 trillion. This includes all segments, from packaged foods to fresh foods, beverages, and ready meals.
For 2024, continued growth is expected, with revenues likely exceeding $9 trillion, driven by rising global consumption and growing demand for functional foods and sustainable products.
Summary of Estimated Revenues:

• Pharmaceutical Industry (2023-2024): $1.5 to $1.7 trillion per year.
• Food Industry (2023-2024): $8 to $9 trillion per year.

These figures may vary depending on sources and different market conditions, but they provide a good overview of the scale of both industries.



Question: 2. What were the revenues for the agricultural sector and carbohydrate-centered food production in 2023 and 2024?

2. Revenues for the Agricultural and Carbohydrate-Centered Food Segments in 2023 and 2024

Agricultural Sector: The agricultural sector, including the production of both plant-based and animal-based raw materials, is a crucial part of the global food industry. In 2023, global revenues from agriculture (including all agricultural products) were estimated at around $3 to $4 trillion. This includes the production of grains, fruits, vegetables, sugar, oilseeds, and livestock.
For 2024, a slight increase in revenues is expected, depending on harvest yields, climate events, and global demand. The agricultural sector also includes the impact of inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides.
Carbohydrate-Centered Foods: The production of carbohydrate-centered foods (mainly starchy products like wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and products like bread, pasta, and sweets) is a major part of food production. Carbohydrates are a key component of the diet for many people worldwide, especially in developing countries.
In 2023, revenues from the production of carbohydrates and carbohydrate-rich foods were estimated at around $2.5 to $3 trillion, with the majority of this coming from major grain crops (wheat, corn, rice) and their processing into finished products.
Projections for 2024 indicate continued growth in this market, likely pushing revenues to over $3 trillion, driven by increased demand for processed foods and convenience meals.
Summary of Estimates:

• Agricultural Sector (2023-2024): $3 to $4 trillion per year (including all agricultural products).
• Carbohydrate-Centered Foods (2023-2024): Approximately $2.5 to $3 trillion per year.

These figures encompass the entire value chain, from agriculture to processing and distribution. The exact segmentation can vary depending on how the markets are analyzed.





Question: 3. What is the development of the global beef and "red meat" production market (e.g., cattle, beef)? What are the trends in this market segment?

3. Livestock Production, Specifically "Red Meat" (Beef, Cattle, etc.): Market Development and Trends

Global Revenues in Red Meat Production: The production of red meat, particularly in the beef and cattle sectors, represents a significant portion of the global food industry. Red meat production includes both fresh meat and processed products such as sausages and ready-to-eat foods. In 2023, revenues from red meat production were estimated at around $1.2 to $1.4 trillion. For 2024, similar revenues are expected, with slight growth potentially driven by price adjustments and increased demand in certain regions.
Main Trends and Market Development in Red Meat:

1. Rising Demand in Emerging Markets:
   • Countries like China, India, and Brazil are seeing increasing demand for meat products due to rising incomes, urbanization, and the adoption of Western eating habits. Beef and pork are particularly popular in these countries. The growing middle class is driving the demand for animal products.
2. Sustainability and Environmental Concerns:
   • There is a growing trend towards sustainability due to the environmental costs associated with meat production, especially red meat. Beef production is particularly controversial due to its high resource consumption (feed, water) and methane emissions from cattle. This has led to an increase in demand for plant-based alternatives (e.g., plant-based burgers and meat substitutes).
   • In Western markets, like Europe and North America, red meat consumption is gradually declining in favor of plant-based alternatives or more flexible diets (e.g., flexitarianism). The trend is shifting towards “less but better” meat consumption.
3. Price Volatility and Supply Chain Issues:
   • Meat production is affected by fluctuations in feed prices, energy costs, and global supply chain disruptions. These factors can lead to price increases, which may dampen consumption in some markets, though it can be offset by rising incomes in others.
   • The COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters have disrupted meat production in various regions, leading to short-term price spikes and supply shortages.
4. Increasing Regulation:
   • In many countries, there is increasing regulation in the areas of animal welfare and meat production. This is particularly true for industrial-scale meat production and processing, which can raise production costs and lead to changes in the market structure.
5. New Sources of Meat:
   • Another growing trend is the development of cultured (cell-based) meat, produced through biotechnological methods. This new technology could eventually capture part of the red meat market by offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditionally raised meat. However, this is still an emerging market that will develop in the coming years.

Projections and Outlook: The red meat market is expected to remain stable over the next few years, with growth driven by rising demand in emerging markets. At the same time, consumption is expected to moderate in developed countries due to increased interest in plant-based alternatives.

• For 2024, revenues in the global red meat market are projected to be approximately $1.3 to $1.5 trillion annually, depending on regional demand fluctuations and price adjustments.
• Long-term, the market could face slower growth due to the rise of plant-based and cultured meat alternatives.

Summary:

• Revenue (Red Meat, 2023-2024): $1.2 to $1.4 trillion per year.
• Development Trends:
  • Growing demand in emerging markets.
  • Declining consumption in developed countries in favor of plant-based alternatives and flexitarian diets.
  • Sustainability concerns and environmental impact, particularly for beef.
  • Potential growth of cultured meat and new meat technologies.

Question 4. What is the global land area available for grazing livestock and fertile agricultural land?

4. Global Land Area for Grazing and Agricultural Land with Fertile Soil

Grazing Land for Livestock: The global area of land used for grazing livestock is still extensive, but it has not expanded indefinitely and has been declining in some regions. This is due to factors such as competition from other land uses and a shift towards more intensive farming methods that require less land for grazing.

• Global Trends in Grazing Land: As of 2023, global grazing land is estimated at around 3.5 to 4 billion hectares. This represents a significant portion of total agricultural land (around 25-30% of global land area).
• Trends:
  • In regions like North America, Australia, and Latin America, grazing land has remained relatively stable or slightly increased. In countries like Brazil, livestock farming has significantly expanded, leading to an increase in grazing land, particularly in the Amazon and other tropical areas where forests are cleared for pasture.
  • In other regions, such as Europe and North America, grazing land has decreased in recent decades as agriculture has shifted to more intensive livestock farming that requires less grazing land.
  • Sustainability and Land Use: The pressure on grazing land is mitigated by more sustainable practices such as rotational grazing and agroforestry, which allow for more efficient use of land and better soil management.
• Future Outlook: The area of grazing land could continue to grow in some regions, especially in countries with rising demand for meat and in developing regions that are intensifying agricultural production. However, the competition for land from other uses, such as crop agriculture or ecosystem conservation, will increase. Climate change could also affect these lands, impacting their productivity.

Agricultural Land with Fertile Soil: Fertile agricultural land is the backbone of global food production. This land is crucial not only for growing food but also for cultivating animal feed and industrial crops.

• Global Trends in Fertile Agricultural Land: In 2023, the global area of agricultural land suitable for crop cultivation was approximately 1.5 to 1.6 billion hectares. This area has remained relatively stable in recent decades, although there are significant regional differences.
• Trends:
  • In developed countries, agricultural land has generally remained stable or decreased slightly. Intensive farming, the use of technology, and the introduction of high-yield crop varieties have led to more efficient use of available agricultural land.
  • In developing countries, particularly in Africa and South America, there is increasing pressure on agricultural land as farming expands to meet the growing population. This has led to an increase in agricultural land use, but often at the cost of natural ecosystems, leading to environmental degradation and soil depletion.
  • Climate change is negatively impacting fertile agricultural land in many regions due to extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and rising temperatures. These changes affect both land availability and soil fertility, posing risks to crop yields.
• Sustainability and Innovations: There is growing effort to improve the use of agricultural land and make it more sustainable through precision agriculture, agroforestry, and resilience strategies like the development of drought-resistant or high-yield crops.
• Future Outlook: In the coming years, crop production on agricultural land is likely to intensify, driven by the increasing pressure on agricultural resources such as water and land. At the same time, there will be a shift towards more sustainable production methods that balance agricultural expansion with environmental preservation.

Summary:

• Grazing Land for Livestock:
  • Estimated at around 3.5 to 4 billion hectares globally, with a stable trend in some regions and slight growth in emerging markets.
  • Growing demand for grazing land, particularly in South America and Africa, but increasing pressure from sustainability initiatives and climate change.
• Agricultural Land with Fertile Soil:
  • Approximately 1.5 to 1.6 billion hectares globally.
  • Stable in developed countries, growing in emerging markets.
  • Environmental concerns and climate change could impact the availability and fertility of these lands.

Overall, the future development of both grazing and agricultural lands will be shaped by political, economic, and ecological factors. The balance between agricultural expansion and ecological challenges will be crucial for the long-term use of these lands.

ChatGPT: Certainly! Below is the translation of all my previous responses into English:

------------------------


Lets assume the numbers hit within the range. Then we talk about billions and billions in revenues - higher revenues than I knew until just now, I had the correct number for pharmaceutical production, but the numbers I believed to know about the food production revenues were factors 3 too low.

Such numbers are first and foremost one thing - a motive.

Keep them on mind when assessing political acting and decision making, and law and deal making in these areas!

Compared to these numbers and the interests they represent, your individual health interests is worth - exactly nothing.

Be on your guard.

It's incredible how far out they reach.

As user "lotti 9856" says:
"I agree on the problem but every regenerative farmer will tell you exactly why this is happening. Soil is dead. Food is grown with NPK today and soil has lost its microbiology and organic matter. Minerals are very particular if you add too much of one you inhibit the uptake of another. When a farmer plants a seed they add fert directly with the seed. This means it establishes its relationship with the fertilizer and not with all the microbes it needs and today they are also no longer there because they have been starved. You can breed plants all you like but if you ignore the microbes it's not going to change anything."
-----------------

My words exactly.

Also, you cannot feed 8 billion people with regenerative farming, there simply is not enough fertile soil for that in the world if you want to farm organic/regenerative, it has clearly been demonstrated and calculated. Not even considering that from a physiological-metabolic, biochemical perspective we should not eat plant but meat based.

Convert all the monocultures into pastures and put cattle on them, not too many in one place, so that they can be moved regularly. Cattle eat grass, something falls out at the back, which slowly transforms the soil over the course of the years. That's how you regenerate the land over 30 yeras or so, that's how you have healthy food. That's how natur has been doing it for millions of years. Does anyone doubt its success? Do we seriously believe that we actually know better after a few years of greed and know-it-all attitude and claim to power...? Nature knows it better. Nature is in us. Lets start listening to it.


Hundreds of foods and additives that are being allowed in the US are banned in other countries. HUNDREDS. Beyond that, there are still many that are lobbied for everywhere, flouride in toothpaste on my mind as a prime example, or corn.based sweeteners and HFCS.


They feed the people like cattle, like slaves. Thats no food. Thats "Mundstopfmasse" (mouth-stuffing mass).
