Bill is the author of the book "Eat Like a Human", which helped launch the Paleo movement. (8:00) Bill shares his background growing up and how he transitioned into his current lifestyle. He was a heavy kid who got picked on a lot. He later became an athlete but had an unhealthy relationship with food. As he got older he became aware of the link between hunting and his background in archeology. Vinnie shares his relationship with food sources from living in a rural area and fishing and hunting. (12:45) He asks Bill about the current state of Western society's relationship with where their food comes from.

(57:00) Bill states how the disconnect in society is real and how it affects several things about human diet and habits. (1:00:00) How standing upright and creating shoes affected the species. The Industrial Revolution also added to the disconnect. To "eat like a human", what do you do? (1:05:00) You need to know not only what to eat, but how, to get optimal nutrition.

Gather seal poop samples (to test for microplastics). And to learn about the Inuit ancestral way of eating. They discuss changes in how we treat various foods, especially after the development of things like refrigeration.

(1:01:00) They discuss a bit more on Mike's solutions for eating the Inuit diet; but he learned quickly it wasn't about fancy, it was about functional.
