The Price of Propaganda

  • Harvard is consistently putting out incorrect studies led by Walter Willet. (2:00)
    • Nina has done an extensive deep dive on why this is happening.
    • The big question is, why are Harvard and Walter Willet so anti-meat?
    • She gives a great example of why correlation is not causation. (3:45)
  • She elaborates on her deep dive into Walter Willet. (7:15)
    • He keeps trying to assert that the science is settled on the topic of red meat to avoid debate. (14:30)
  • Vinnie asks Nina a pointed question—What’s in it for Willet? (16:45)
    • There are a lot of parallels between him and Ancel Keys.
  • Nina gives more details about the research she has done for her book. (19:30)
    • There are many conflicts of interest regarding funding; there is a price for propaganda.
      • She has written about this topic several times and revealed such conflicts.
    • Actual clinical trials do not support Willet’s claims.
    • He always makes hypotheses but never completes clinical trials.
    • There are so many data points that he ignores.

Follow the Money

  • There are plenty of fake food companies that are expanding their business interests. (31:00)
    • They are the ones creating the narrative that meat is bad for the planet so they can claim they are saving the planet.
  • Coincidentally, the claim of cow burps affecting the climate didn't arise until after the low-carb movement became popular. (34:45)
  • The Barilla pasta company came up with a $40 million campaign to get meat off the plate, so you could replace it with pasta. (44:50)
  • Ruminants are essential for soil sustainability and health, so why the attack on cows? (38:30)
  • They chat a bit more about recent funding behind Harvard; it includes a donation of $350 million. (40:00)
    • Even the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, called out the $350 million donation as disingenuous. (43:00)
  • Nina ends on a positive note that there are plenty of people who conduct N=1 experiments who find their health improving when going low-carb and eating meat. (46:15)
