The Daily Check-in for Saturday June 13th - Just For Today, We are NOT Drinking!

Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT, 😁! We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together! Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same. Maybe you’re new to c/stop drinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others. It doesn’t matter if you’re still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!

Ok real talk... What are your actual personal thoughts on AI?

I think we’ll have something much better once the bubble pops, but for now there’s a lot of problems that are being papered over by easy investor cash. The compute in data centers will need to be replaced every 18 months as they become outdated, and meanwhile they can’t even build all the data centers they’ve promised and are back-ordered for years. They’re plopping data centers into undersized electricity and water grids that can’t handle them because it’s cheap, and this is now causing public backlash against construction. They’re a Dutch disease, sucking all the oxygen out of the economy to fuel extraction while producing little value. LLMs are good at some specific tasks, but the insistence on making an everything machine and cramming it into everything has further enshitified everything. The c-suite keeps trying to fire everyone and replace them with slop, and then finding out that they can’t actually do that because the everything machine can’t actually do everything. Morons like our first trillionaire are suggesting putting data centers in space where there’s no water or atmosphere to act as coolant. In short, it stinks.

Israel attacks Beirut on same day Trump says Iran deal to be signed

Iran was never in danger of becoming a meaningful geopolitical alternative, especially given that they were very clearly moving closer to the us. The war in iran cannot be said to be a nato power play give the current rift between nato members about the war, and the predictably destablising effect it would obviously have and is having on the structures of US hegemony. It was very clearly a last minute decision by some of the dumbest us elites that russia could buy. The position, goals and capabilities of the us empire were very different in '53 than today. I think you’re making a general over-arching argument that is contradicted by the specific details.

'This Fight Isn't Over': Opponents Turn to State AGs After DOJ Approves Paramount-Warner Merger

The US Department of Justice on Friday approved Paramount Skydance Corporation’s megamerger with Warner Bros. Discovery, prompting opponents of the $110 billion deal to place their hopes of blocking it in the hands of Democratic state attorneys general. The DOJ’s Antitrust Division approved the merger without requiring divestitures or behavioral remedies—a significant win for billionaire Paramount CEO David Ellison. Analysts and critics had suggested the DOJ might require sales of some of the corporation’s numerous cable networks, streaming services, film and television studios, sports programming rights, or media outlets. The DOJ also reportedly declined to impose conduct restrictions on bundling, distribution, licensing commitments, and other areas. “If we had an uncorrupted Department of Justice, Paramount would not even have tried to merge with Warner Bros. Discovery, in plain violation of the law," Robert Weissman, co-president of the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, said in response to the news of the DOJ approval. “If it had, a Department of Justice that was doing its job would have rushed to court to block the merger the moment it was announced.” “Now, however, a compromised DOJ has rubber-stamped a merger that consolidates power for the Ellisons, one of [President Donald]Trump’s preferred oligarch families," Weissman added. “This merger will jack up prices for consumers, cost workers their jobs and, most importantly, limit the range of viewpoints permitted to air on the major media or appear in movies and creative outlets. Put simply, this is an anti-free speech merger." This is terrible news for every American who doesn’t want Trump-aligned billionaires to control what they watch and how much they pay.The Paramount-Warner Bros. deal has reeked of corruption and influence-peddling.This fight isn’t over. State AGs must block this merger. [image or embed] — Elizabeth Warren (@warren.senate.gov) June 12, 2026 at 1:48 PM Craig Aaron, co-CEO of the advocacy group Free Press, said in a statement: “Despite all the talk about conducting a thorough investigation, the fix was in at the Trump Justice Department from the start. Paramount Skydance has fĂȘted, flattered, and promised sweeping changes to news coverage to win the administration’s approval, despite evidence that giving one corporation this much media power—all the movie studios, cable channels, and newsrooms—will undermine competition, destroy jobs, slant the news, and endanger our democracy." “We’ve already seen how far Paramount and the Ellison family are willing to go to diminish a once-proud network and news organization like CBS, and they promise to do worse if they get their hands on Warner Bros., HBO, CNN, and all the rest," he added. “The Ellisons aren’t hiding their intentions, and no weak concessions will make this deal any better.” Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, warned earlier this week that approval of the merger would result in “the same kind of unprecedented pro-MAGA editorial control we have seen at CBS News and ‘60 Minutes.’” Raskin also contended that the merger could mean that “American consumers, who already pay an average $69 a month for streaming on top of $100 a month for cable and $78 for internet,” will pay “even more for sports, news, and entertainment.” As Politico’s Yasmin Khorram reported Friday: The [DOJ] decision
 paves the way for Paramount to combine with the entertainment and media company behind a vast film and television studio, CNN, and the HBO Max streaming service, which would be combined with Paramount+ to create a new offering boasting about 200 million subscribers. The deal, which would upend the Hollywood ecosystem by combining two historic rival studios, is opposed by many in the entertainment industry who fear it could lead to mass layoffs, among other concerns. The DOJ’s reported approval of the merger does not necessarily mean the deal is done. Several states are weighing antitrust challenges, most notably California, where the office of Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta is conducting what he called a “vigorous” review of the proposed merger to determine how it would impact competition in entertainment, streaming, advertising, and labor markets. Reuters reported earlier this month that California, New York, and other states are preparing a lawsuit aimed at blocking the merger. “The good news is, this is not the last word on the matter," Weissman said. “Competition authorities in the states and other countries can still follow the law and stand up for the public interest against this media consolidation. Now that the federal government has abandoned antitrust enforcement in favor of cronyism and runaway consolidation, state attorneys general must step in to block this deal.” Aaron said that states “have strong case for blocking this merger, and many brave journalists, filmmakers, and workers in the entertainment industry have spoken out against the dangers of this deal despite threats to their livelihoods.” “They are warning us what will happen if this deal goes through, and we must listen,” he added. "The attorney generals have the evidence they need to stop this deal; now the public needs them to take action.” Last year’s merger between Paramount Global, Skydance Media, and National Amusements was itself opposed by critics who sounded similar alarms over corruption, antitrust issues, labor concerns, and attacks on editorial independence. CBS, a Paramount Global company, announced the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” during the merger review period. While Paramount claimed the cancellation was a financial decision, critics said its timing suggested at least indirect political pressure, given Colbert’s vocal criticism of Trump and the need for merger approval from the Federal Communications Commission. FCC Chair Brendan Carr was appointed by Trump and has been dogged by allegations that he’s more loyal to the president’s agenda than to his agency’s stated mission. One of the biggest recurring flashpoints involves claims of corporate pressure and censorship at CBS’ venerable “60 Minutes” weekly current affairs program. Numerous former “60 Minutes” journalists and others have accused Bari Weiss—the right-wing podcaster who became CBS News editor-in-chief after the merger—of political censorship. Earlier this month, a coalition of press freedom groups warned that recent firings of “60 Minutes” journalists were a “grotesque effort taken straight from an authoritarian handbook” that posed a much wider threat to democracy, and highlighted that an approved Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger would hand control of CNN, a Warner Bros. company, to the same billionaire family that now owns CBS. The coalition argued that the merger “would open the door to improper political meddling in journalists’ editorial decisions" and “alter CNN’s editorial direction (not to mention meddle with HBO’s documentaries) to be more friendly to the [Trump] administration, threatening press freedom.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Xbox Gaming CSO Pitches Ads in Games as "Affordable Alternative"

We recently reported that Xbox seems to be having some troubles, with significant layoffs and a 100-day plan on the cards to bring the ship around. Some of Microsoft’s issues include plummeting revenue, an affordability crisis, and low adoption rates. According to Xbox Gaming’s Chief Stragety Officer, Matthew Ball, ad-supported tiers may be one potential tool to help improve things at Xbox. In an interview with The Game Business, Ball addresses the rising costs of gaming, saying that “the costs have gone up way too high on development, and at the same point, everyone feels terrible with prices going up on hardware or software or microtransactions. That is a challenge. It’s not good if that is the only option.” He goes on to compare it to streaming, noting that the vast majority of new streaming subscriptions in recent years have been on supported subscription tiers. The comparison to ad-supported streaming services suggests Ball is mostly talking about services like Xbox Game Pass, where there have been rumors of ad-supported tiers, or potentially even steeper subsidies for console hardware—an area Xbox is leaning into more and more since Asha Sharma took over as CEO in early 2026.

Upset ‘Tommeh’ gives Canary’s print edition free advertising

The Canary upsets all the right people. Particularly, it seems, in print. The far-right hate peddler known as ‘Tommy Robinson’ has got a bit upset at being called out on a Canary front page for his part in inciting white-supremacist violence in Belfast. And in his annoyance, he gave the Canary some accidental free advertising: He doesn’t have a leg to stand on about the ‘smear’, legally speaking. Truth is an absolute defence and libel requires damage to reputation, while his — and no doubt his income — depends on his supporters seeing him inciting. And even in the UK’s corrupt justice system, there’s no way to say evil like this isn’t inciting: The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people. It’s time pic.twitter.com/tscckc9ceK — Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) June 9, 2026 And the Canary is not the only outlet to point out that he was not just inciting, but coordinating, the Belfast white hate riots. Like the i: And even far-right ‘msm’ rags have taken him down before, just as brutally: They are far right shithouses. pic.twitter.com/mmrQMALuCy — Andrew (@AndrewEgan89975) June 13, 2026 Of course, Tommeh’s mates might not be too impressed that he was (again) sucking up to foreign billionaires while he was doing it. But then again, they might not care. Only certain kinds of foreigners are despised, perhaps. Tommy Robinson — “Cry harder” And his post didn’t exactly generate much sympathy. Lots of responses encouraged him to get even more upset: Cry harder! You only have yourself to blame! — Duncan Still Socialist tired of LIES & Anger (@BRUMSTOKIE) June 12, 2026 Others focused on the truth of the headline and the article: You mean
 the truth?? — Ren (@RenLaz17) June 12, 2026 And quite a few added the ‘patriot’s liking for foreign climes (and cash): You do have ten names though don’t you, protecting British values but changes his name and moves to Spain. The guy that has been an illegal immigrant, complains about illegal immigration. pic.twitter.com/JZIoJFp3LU — My Two Pence (@MyTwoPenceUK) June 12, 2026 Oh fuck I HOPE they did. It’s about time your grifting coked up shit stirring little arse got a proper headline. That’s MARVELLOUS. Well done @TheCanaryUK pic.twitter.com/XdD8W887js — Damian (@D_MQuail) June 12, 2026 Lots pointed out the cash, actually: Where’s the lie exactly you malformed little racist runt? pic.twitter.com/deFGhG0j7s — CaptainBird (@CaptainBird5) June 12, 2026 And the foreigners operating him in return for it: pic.twitter.com/NOrX6TgXi0 — George (@seeyouinpub) June 12, 2026 Some pointed out the, ahem, inconsistency of Robinson’s ‘political’ positions: The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people. It’s time pic.twitter.com/tscckc9ceK — Tommy Robinson (@TRobinsonNewEra) June 9, 2026 While others just contented themselves with taking the mickey out of him for not realising the obvious: It’s literally there in front of you, you bleeding imbecile — RandomHero (@ImMeHooYou) June 12, 2026 Of the many hundreds of responses, only a few were from people willing to reinforce the idea that he doesn’t incite, or is right to. There are far too many good replies to include them in an article, so if you have a spare few minutes, reading the others will be a rewarding way to spend them. And of course, spare a few to pop out and buy a Canary print edition, Monday to Friday. You can find your nearest stockist here. It really is upsetting all the right (wrong) people.

Court Blocks 'Illegal' Trump Rule That Created Barriers to Affordable Care Act Coverage

Officials in several cities joined advocacy groups in celebrating a federal court ruling Friday that blocked the Trump administration’s rule which, they argued in a lawsuit, illegally imposed new fees and created barriers “that would make it harder—and in some cases impossible—for people to get and keep affordable health insurance.” The cities of Columbus, Ohio; Baltimore; and Chicago were among the plaintiffs in a case filed last week in the US District Court of Maryland against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and other Trump officials, arguing that the so-called “Marketplace Integrity and Affordability” rule would destabilize the insurance market and penalize vulnerable families, “rather than promoting affordability.” The rule was introduced in May, months after Affordable Care Act subsidies that had made ACA insurance premiums more affordable for millions of people were allowed to expire by Republicans in Congress. More than 1 million fewer Americans signed up for coverage in ACA exchanges after the tax credits expired, and the Trump administration claimed that the new rule’s provision of more “catastrophic” insurance plans would give more “choice” to people who couldn’t afford plans that cover more healthcare needs. The rule also required additional verification for low-income households before they enroll in ACA plans, with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz claiming the new requirement “strengthens eligibility checks, cracks down on abuse, and gives insurers more flexibility to offer affordable, consumer-focused coverage options.” “Cloaked in the pretense of government efficiency and fraud prevention, the 2026 rule creates numerous barriers to affordable insurance coverage." The verification requirements and new fees could cause as many as 2 million people to drop their coverage, said Democracy Forward, which represented the plaintiffs, as well as raising annual costs by about $700 for families. “Cloaked in the pretense of government efficiency and fraud prevention, the 2026 rule creates numerous barriers to affordable insurance coverage, negating the ACA’s goal of extending affordable health coverage to all Americans, and instead increasing the population of underinsured and uninsured Americans,” the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit. In the ruling on Friday, US District Judge Brendan Hurson vacated several provisions of the rule, including ones that revoked guaranteed insurance coverage for people with past-due premiums; required eligibility verification for the special ACA enrollment period; and imposed a $5 premium penalty on people who automatically reenrolled in their plans. Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein said the rule’s provisions were among “the Trump-Vance administration’s illegal attempts to undermine the Affordable Care Act.” “This ruling is a significant win for millions of Americans, including thousands in Ohio, who would have been denied coverage or seen their out-of-pocket costs skyrocket due to this president and his administration," said Klein. "We will continue to fight to protect healthcare coverage for all Americans whenever it’s threatened.” Richard Trent, executive director of Main Street Alliance, a small business advocacy group that also joined the lawsuit, said that “the Trump-Vance administration’s unlawful attempt to undermine the Affordable Care Act would have increased costs, created unnecessary barriers to coverage, and made it harder for entrepreneurs and workers to get the care they need.” “Small business owners cannot grow their businesses when healthcare becomes more expensive and less accessible,” said Trent. “We are grateful that the court has protected these critical safeguards and reaffirmed that affordable healthcare remains essential to a strong economy and thriving Main Streets across the country.” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott also applauded the ruling, but emphasized that healthcare advocates’ “work is not over.” As Common Dreams reported Friday, tied up in the Trump administration’s push for more Americans to use high-deductible catastrophic insurance—which is likely to present families with high out-of-pocket costs—is a plan to push households into more medical debt by allowing them to take out loans directly from their health insurance companies. “We will continue to fight back against any attempts by this administration to slash protections under the ACA," said Scott, "and will not stop fighting until every person in this nation has access to the affordable, quality healthcare they deserve.” From Common Dreams via This RSS Feed.

Music education: thoughts and experiences?

I’ve struggled to be musical all my life–took lessons, took college classes, did ear training, etc. I think I finally cracked the code, and it’s surprisingly simple: Learn to play melodies by ear (starts with singing) Learn only enough theory to: know your way around your instrument (scales, arpeggios) understand chords understand song structure Experiment (ie have fun!) The most anal formal exercise I’d recommend is learning to hear relative scale degrees (two very good apps available for that)–though I think that skill would be developed by transcribing (playing by ear), it’s helpful for your confidence level to have graded exercises you can have some success with. But my experience with most of my music teachers is they fall into one of two traps: For classical music, it’s: Learn how to translate written notes into notes on your instrument. Go to 1. For instance: I was taking clarinet lessons and I remember my teacher saying goodbye to his last student–a kid–and the teacher said, “If you bring me the sheet music for it, we can learn to play it.” And I thought what a missed opportunity that was for that girl to learn to hear and transcribe music–obviously not a skill he thought was important to the teacher at all. And I’d understand now wanting to do that for piano, which is really complicated, but learning to play a melody by ear on a single note instrument is a very achievable goal, especially when you have someone that can tell you what key it’s in and what the first note is. The trap for jazz music is: Learn what are the “right” notes to play. Play them in any random order. I used to blame teachers for just being bad at their jobs, but I think students (and maybe parents/administrators) are also to blame. I ran across a senior guy who was trying to get back into piano. He’d played for a few years and it was clear he had no idea of how to be musical–no idea of how to construct a simple bass line, no knowledge of how to define a chord. So I said, “Hey, I’ll work with you even though I don’t play piano, I think you need to learn this song and just play the root and the five in the left hand, and sing the melody while you play, and use a metronome.” What an amazing exercise I thought: it would help teach him timing, develop his ear, develop his feel, let him be expressive with his voice, let him embody the melody, lear to work the bass, etc. Aren’t I brilliant teacher? You know what this guy did? He pulled out his phone to show me some recordings he did of him playing the song the way his music teacher had written it out for him; it was what I expected–just haltingly reading the music with no sense of time. I wasn’t sure, but I think he wanted me to praise him for playing such a complex piece. For him, and maybe for a lot of students (and certainly for parents and administrators), they don’t actually want to master music, they want to impress people. And maybe for the musically disinclined, haltingly playing a complex written piece is more impressive than a 2-note bassline in time with an expressive voiceline sensitive to dynamic; since most people in charge of music education (parents and school administrators) don’t know music, maybe they would promote a teacher who taught the former and fire a teacher who taught the latter
 For jazz programs, I think they’ve got a lot of theory they’ve got to cram into the kids heads, and we can learn theory a lot faster than we can develop musically, so if you’re going to be judged on “performance” of your students, you’ll be rewarded for having them be able to pass essentially paper exams set to music more than for having them skillfully play pentatonic blues. I don’t know what the answer is, but for some reason, actually mastering music is very low on the list for both teachers and students. What’s all y’all’s experience with music and music education?

Had a 1v9 argument about China and Cuba being socialist at my org

Questions based on static definitions (is X of type Y) are undialectical and a waste of time. Ultraleftists don’t understand dialectics and that’s why they suck at applying Marxism. Check out this 1864 draft of Capital. Marx ponders two categories, the commodity and money, not as fixed things but as a dynamical objects which emerged in undeveloped forms (from the perspective of capital) and underwent a series of evolutions before they acquired all of the features capital required of them. Marx explicitly acknowledges these categories as predating capitalism. He traces how capital appropriated both commodities and money and made them into something new, just as capitalism took labor power — an obviously precapitalist category — and created out of it the proletarian working class which we have today. Nowhere in this excerpt does Marx ask such inane questions as “is this a commodity?”

Some countries build high-speed rail. We do this.

We in germany got u. We have this mega-project called ‘Stuttgart 21’, and it is going to be the new main station for Stuttgart. The completion was originally planned for 2019. It got repeatedly delayed, with the latest date for completion now being 2031. It is also severely over budget. If it comes to incompetence for mega-projects, germany is number 1 lol.

Why We Are Carnivores - MD Anthony Chaffee [Lecture]

the evidence behind why humans are carnivorous beings. I address this from a Biological, Anatomical, Evolutionary, Anthropological, and Metabolic/Biochemical point of view for an overall picture behind why our optimal way of eating is fatty meat, in absence of everything else, including salad. I hope you enjoy it! ::: spoiler summerizer Thesis and definitions Carnivore status is defined by the diet that gives an animal optimal nutrition, not by survival on small amounts of plants. Humans need nutrients found in meat, while no plant or fungal food is necessary when meat is eaten exclusively. RDAs come from mixed-diet conditions, so nutrient needs can change when the diet is exclusively meat. Chronic disease comes from species-inappropriate food: too many plants, not enough animal protein and fat. Biological and anatomical evidence Zoo animals, dogs, and cats get obesity, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease, and arthritis when fed foods unlike their wild diets. Human teeth, jaws, brains, stomach acidity, fat-digestion organs, appendix, and colon all point toward animal-based adaptation. Human stomach pH sits near scavenging carnivores, which fits meat with high bacterial load and meat preserved without refrigeration. Five organs work together to digest and absorb fat, which makes animal fat central to human nutrition. Humans cannot break down fiber like herbivores; the appendix is a vestigial cecum, not a fermentation chamber. Fiber, bowel disease, and IBD Fiber is waste material, blocks nutrient absorption, irritates the gut lining, increases mucus and inflammation, and overworks the colon. Diverticulosis tracks with higher fiber intake and more bowel movements, while constipation, fat, and meat do not track with it. Surgeons use low-residue diets after bowel injury because bowel rest helps recovery. Red-meat-and-water diets, elemental diets, and carbohydrate restriction fit the same bowel-rest model for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Salisbury, Voegtlin, elemental-diet trials, and fasting-mimicking-diet work support removal of irritating plant material from IBD patients. Evolution, tools, and isotope evidence Humans split from other primates, ate more meat, became taller, grew bigger brains, reduced teeth and jaws, and developed tools and tactics. Early pound stones and later worked tools were used to open skulls, access brains, kill animals, and dismember carcasses. Ice-age conditions pushed surviving ancestors toward animal nutrition because plants and plant-eating animals disappeared under ice sheets. Stable isotope work places early humans, Homo sapiens, and Neanderthals high on the food chain, often above other predators. The Tel Aviv work by Miki Ben-Dor puts humans as hypercarnivorous apex predators across at least 2 million years. Agriculture, skulls, teeth, height, and brain size Ancient Egyptian isotope work and mummy pathology fit a grain-heavy agricultural population with atherosclerosis and visible poor health. After agriculture, skulls, jaws, teeth, height, and brain size worsened because nutrition shifted away from animal foods. Crooked teeth and small jaws come from inadequate nutrition and oral development conditions, not rapid evolution. Pre-agricultural people had wider jaws, straight teeth, wisdom teeth, taller bodies, and larger brains. Brain size rose with meat and fat intake, then dropped when agriculture and plant foods became widespread. Carnivorous human populations Native American buffalo hunters used mass kills, drying, and pemmican to feed communities for long periods. Tall Native American groups, Mongol horse cultures, Inuit groups, Maasai, and Australian Aboriginal hunters are used as human carnivore examples. Mongol armies relied on horse meat, blood, and milk products, traveled without frequent meals, and built a vast land empire without grain agriculture. Inuit accounts include meat eating even during seasonal thaws, with little interest in sour berries. Maasai and Australian Aboriginal groups are tall, lean, muscular, and healthy before Western foods displaced animal foods. Herodotus’ Ethiopian account and Salisbury’s Native American account are used as examples of meat-eating populations linked with long active lives. Metabolic model Fasted metabolism is the normal metabolic mode, and carbohydrate eating interrupts it through insulin. Insulin blocks lipolysis, proteolysis, ketone production, and leptin signaling, so the brain receives a false starvation signal. Carbohydrate-containing diets lower daily energy expenditure by about 300 kilocalories compared with the same calories without carbohydrates. Glucose and fructose damage tissues through glycation, and chronic high blood sugar drives diabetic damage. Ketogenic diets have long been used for diabetes by removing sugar, carbohydrate, and alcohol inputs. Cancer and mitochondrial metabolism Warburg’s cancer model centers on damaged mitochondria, impaired oxidative phosphorylation, glucose dependence, fermentation, and lactate production. Seyfried’s metabolic cancer model builds on Warburg and links cancer control to mitochondrial function and glucose restriction. Ketosis reduces glucose availability to cancer cells and improves mitochondrial respiration, abundance, and resilience in non-cancer cells. Paleomedicina and Cedars-Sinai are used as examples of clinical interest in ketogenic or carnivore-style metabolic therapy for cancer and chronic disease. Plant defenses and natural pesticides Plants cannot run or fight, so they use chemical defenses against insects, animals, and humans. The University of Washington cancer-biology story centers on plant carcinogens and the idea that vegetables contain many natural toxins. Bruce Ames’ work compares naturally occurring plant pesticides with synthetic pesticide residues and finds the natural chemicals far more abundant. Edible plants are handled as less acutely poisonous than hemlock, not as harmless food. Cassava, almonds, cyanogenic plants, peach pits, phytoestrogens, soy, nightshades, gluten, and lectins are used as toxin examples. Hormones, nutrient blockers, photosensitivity, and lectins Soy phytoestrogens are compared with estrogen amounts in women, birth-control pills, and growth-hormone beef. Carbohydrate-driven insulin disrupts leptin and the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which is tied to PCOS. Fiber, soy, wheat, gluten, and protease inhibitors reduce digestion and absorption of protein and other nutrients. Lime oils and celery compounds are used as examples of plant chemicals that create photosensitivity and sun-related skin injury. Lectins can cross a damaged gut barrier, trigger antibodies, and create molecular mimicry that drives autoimmune disease. Removal of lectins and other plant compounds through a red-meat-and-water carnivore diet is given as reversing Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto’s. Final conclusion Humans are obligate carnivores with one optimal diet: meat. Variation by sex, pregnancy, childhood, or individual preference does not change the species-specific diet. Biology, anatomy, evolution, anthropology, metabolism, plant chemistry, and disease reversal all point to meat as the optimal human food. Plants use defense chemicals because survival in nature is kill or be killed, and human health improves when those chemicals are removed.
