Send us a textThe Blue Zones have become a popular meme recently, having been featured in a very popular Netflix documentary. A common thread in the documentary proclaims the benefits of a 90-98% plant-based diet , supposedly used in some areas of the world that have larger than normal populations of older humans: beacons of longevity!But what if I told you that the roots of the plant-based movement trace back to the Seventh Day Adventist Church and a certain breakfast cereal? This episode unearths the complex relationship between religion, corporate influence, and dietary choices. We journey back in time, tracing the origins of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, its profound influence on the plant-based movement, and its surprising role in the creation of breakfast cereal. An Eden on Earth, they believed, could be achieved through a plant-based diet.We scrutinize the Blue Zones, providing counterpoints from a carnivorous perspective for a balanced perspective.  The journey also takes us through the lives of pioneering figures like John Harvey Kellogg and his controversial health views that continue to resonate in today's health discussions.Ending the journey, we take a long, hard look at the Seventh Day Adventist Church's influence on nutrition, and their ownership of the Blue Zones.
