Imagine if someone told you there's a supplement with 70 calories, 7 grams of highly bioavailable protein, and every vitamin and mineral you need. You might think it's the latest fancy new green powder. But it's just an egg.

1820s, Great Plains. A Lakota hunting party has killed a buffalo. This is a successful hunt. The entire village will eat well. Except the hunters are making decisions that would horrify a modern nutritionist. They take the tongue first. This is the prize. Fatty, dense, rich.

Cattle perform alchemy. They convert grass (inedible to humans) into: - Meat, milk, butter, cheese - Tallow, leather, bone tools - Manure for fertilizer This transformation built civilizations. Humans can't eat grass. Grass grows on 70% of agricultural land. Without ruminants,

Ultra-processed foods now make up at least half of all food sold in UK supermarkets. The Lancet has described them as a “corporate-engineered public health crisis.” That is exactly what they are: industrial products designed for profit, not nutrition. They override appetite
