Episode notes

Micala is diagnosed when she's seven years old with chronic juvenile rheumatoid arthritus. By the time she's in college, she has severe depression. She tells her dad to go on this all beef diet, and like, maybe it will work for him too. And so he goes on the diet, and you heard him describing, right? Like, he got universally 100 % better. Now we're going to dive into the carnivore diet itself, and the winding path that it took to mchaela peterson's laptop.

Oops all meat: How a '50s bodybuilder, a Grateful Dead roadie and an unreadable professor accidentally launched one of America's wildest fad diets.

Here's Mike's "Cancel Culture" video!

Note: In our discussion of Jordan Peterson’s political correctness lecture, I made a sarcastic comment about looking “slim in this dress.” After the episode came out, we started hearing from listeners that my comment reminded them of fatphobic jokes they’d heard in the past and didn’t feel consistent with the message of the show. They were right! It was a bad joke and we've removed it from the episode. We'll be discussing this and our approach to handling feedback and editing past episodes in more detail soon. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us know! — Mike
