Episode notes

Paleo diet is a western, aprivileged sort of fetishiation of a less developed society. It's not clear to me why we should be looking two million years ago like a species that no longer exists. Northern europeans have weighd more lac tastes, and they can process lactos,. Most people in east asia cannot process lactos right? Is it right to be drinking milk? Wher are your parents from, and their parents and their parents?

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
