Decoding Superhuman The Fat Head Kids Documentary with Tom Naughton
Fat Head and Fat Head Kids creator Tom Naughton discusses nutrition bias, the problems with observational studies, and the release of his new film "Fat Head Kids."
“Yeah. I didn't bother to see it because when these vegan propaganda movies come out, it's always the same stuff. They seem to think it's their mission in life to track you down and try to convince you that meat and eggs are going to kill you. So I've gotten very used to the type of evidence. Please put evidence in air quotes that they throw at you....So I've thrown a challenge out there. No one's accepted it yet. I'll continue eating four eggs a day. You Start Smoking 20 cigarettes a day. We'll compare our health in 10 years.”
