This Has Gone Too Far!

Following the food pyramid may have you unknowingly eating like a cow. Find out what to ditch and how to choose the right foods to fuel your body. Your body deserves real nutrition, not an animal diet designed to fatten cattle.

0:00 Introduction: Eating like a cow
0:38 High-starch diet
1:53 Refined starch and cornstarch
3:15 2 types of corn
4:47 What happens if I eat like a cow?
4:59 Grain-fed cows
6:37 How can I stop eating like a cow?

Today, we’re going to look at the average American diet and determine what may happen if you start eating like a cow. For the last 200 days of a cow’s life, it’s fed a high-starch diet and given minimal exercise.

According to the food pyramid, most of our diet should come from starch. The average American consumes 65% to 70% of their calories from starches. Starches are actually hidden sugars. In fact, ultra-processed starch is worse than sugar and will raise your blood sugar more than glucose.

There are 2 types of corn: field corn (dent corn) and edible sweet corn. Dent corn is used to fatten cattle and to make products such as ethanol, corn flour, modified food starch, modified corn starch, and maltodextrin. It’s also used to make corn oil, one of the seed oils.

Not only do the refined starches act like sugar in the body, but they’re also GMO. This means they contain traces of glyphosate.

The average American has been eating like a cow for quite some time. This is why we see obesity, fatty liver, heart disease, and more.

Cows are meant to digest grass, not grains. Grass is fermented with bacteria in a cow's stomach, and the fiber feeds its microbes. When a cow is fed grains, the microbes produce an excess amount of acid, causing acidosis. This can lead to infection and isn’t very healthy for the cow, so they’re fed antibiotics to compensate.

Stop eating like a cow! Avoid ultra-processed starch and choose grass-fed, grass-finished beef.

      Right? I’m always hearing “we consume this everyday” and I’m like “who? I sure don’t.”

      It has nothing to do with being caught up, if they are actually cared they’d educate themselves. Most of them stop educating themselves once theyre done with med school and only care about being paid and just doing their job and could actually care less of being up to date and taking care of people properly.​@@SurfahSistah

    What most people don’t know is.. starch in the form of pasta, crackers, bread, etc. is sugar! Sometimes higher glycemic than sugar! Not to mention all the hidden garbage they put in these “foods”.. I think every packaged food/drink should have the glycemic index level on the label! Clear and concise, bold on the front! Australia does it! That is how I learned about it 20 years ago from someone I met a long time ago, Logitech, if you’re reading this… THANK YOU! .. it served me well when I stayed at 30 and below on the glycemic index level chart.. I went from a size 14 down to a healthy size 3, but I was also weight training along with eating right and drinking the right amount of water.

    • @BSingh-on4qr on December 7, 2024 at 1:21 pm

      im australian and didnt know they rate glycemic index specifically

    • @taniahummelgard2290 on December 7, 2024 at 2:20 pm

      If you refrigerate pasta, rice, and bread it lowers the glycemic index, a lot. And if you freeze it, even more. And if you toast bread that’s been frozen, even more

    • @peterpan408 on December 7, 2024 at 2:56 pm

      I call it Carb Sludge.
      Starch, Oil, Sugar; plus whatever flavors etc are needed to make it look like what it’s supposed to be (muffin, bread, snack bar etc).
      The tragedy of Carb Sludge based foods is that they are very low in good quality protein. Likely Soy Protein will be added to make it less abysmally deficient, but the Vegan proteins will not nourish you sufficiently to be strong and vital.
