The Core of the Problem with Andrea Bertaglio - Episode 2357 Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Episode 2357 - In this Friday's episode, Vinnie Tortorich welcomes author Andrea Bertaglio and they discuss the core of the problem with attacks on the meat and farm industries, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2023/07/core-of-the-problem-with-andrea-bertaglio-epsiode-2357 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN You can watch this episode on Vinnie's Fitness Confidential YOUTUBE channel -https://www.youtube.com/@FitnessConfidential THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM Vinnie welcomes Andrea Bertaglio, who is the author of "In Defence of Meat". (2:40) Andrea is an environmental journalist who was investigating the farming industry. His goal is to get the correct information out into the world about meat, nutrition, and the farming industry. Both Vinnie and Andrea's backgrounds growing up exposed them to farming, so they both have a working knowledge of what farming takes. (7:00) They discuss the frustration of speaking to people with no working knowledge of farming. Others just want to look at data, preach from their offices, get financial backing, and determine public policy. Even knowledgeable people like Frank Mitloehrner are often ignored by certain activist groups. It is important to get away from "confirmation bias" (only looking for information that confirms one's current beliefs) in all areas. (13:00) Andrea discovered his own biases when he was interviewing farmers about the environment. (15:30) This was the tipping point and he realized he was naive and susceptible to dogma he had been exposed to early in his career. Vinnie and Andrea discuss certain contradictions that often happen with extreme environmentalism and veganism. (23:00) They also give examples of where naïveté actually harms the ecosystem. Conservation groups such as "Duck Unlimited" help keep the environment and ecosystem sound. (33:00) RED MEAT AND NUTRITION Vinnie and Andrea discuss the problem of vegan parents forcing their developing children onto vegan diets and the horrendous results. Severe nutritional deficiencies to cases of death have happened. It's an example of when arrogance goes beyond common sense. (41:00) Misinformation is circulating and creating more health issues. They discuss how the core of the problem is that there is a huge disconnect about where food comes from. There needs to be an understanding of farming, the necessary nutrition meat provides, and the sustainability it can provide. Meat is fundamental for healthy development.
