You Are What You Eat (Twin Experiment) - Netflix

The anti meat bullshite made me stop watching. Lost interest.

We watched it to the end. Episode 1 set it up great. The premise was extremely intriguing. Then it all went to shite at the start of episode 2. 90% of it was just pure vegan propaganda with a snippet here and there of the twins.

Even the experiment part of it was biased and bunk from a science perspective. It was clear all of the doctors and professionals had their minds made up and well looking for their answers in the process. Just backwards as frick. The experiment was EXTREMELY uncontrolled. Even the demonstration of bacteria in the three different chicken samples was irrelevant because the "scientist" opened all three samples and handled them right next to each other. It was impossible for there to NOT be cross contamination. Then to add insult to injury their two high value commentators were incredibly liberal politicians. They even had an expert blame white flight for a lack of healthy food in cities.

fricking white people!

I was looking forward to the results after ep.1, but was incredibly disappointed.

I drank milk and ate meat right after.
I'll never go full vegan but there are some benefits to eating more plants. That said. I am not giving up dairy or beef.

Unfortunately, 3/4 of the show is anti-meat

I’m fast-forwarding through most of it until the results.

Do you really think they will report results that don't match up with their anti-meat stance?

BioLayne has a great take on it on his Instagram account.

Yes, the vegan group had better results. They also consumed more fiber, less saturated fat, and on average 200 less calories than the other group. Those facts more than account for the positive changes in their biomarkers.

Is it possible that going vegan makes it easier to accomplish those goals? Maybe. I personally don't think so. But for some people, it might.

Still, with good dietary choices, meat eaters can have just as much of a healthy profile as vegans.

What I did not hear BioLayne discuss:

Does the documentary also account for the fact that veganism literally cannot provide all of the nutrients humans require without supplementation? And does it account for the fact that most people cannot afford nor have the accountability or education level to understand how to supplement their vegan diet with all of the nutrients they need?
