I’ve got a problem with Danny Roddy.
-
I still remember watching that video for the first time after a few months of trying carnivore. Never warm, on edge, living off of stress hormones. Then I saw this video. I had heard about Danny when he was mentioned on a podcast I listened to. The music appealed to me alot. It touched something in me. I remember the first time I tried coffee after the carnivore diet. Massive stress response. But I was determined to learn what this other philosophy was.
Now I look back on it as a fond memory, as the beginning of something wonderful, full of exploration and energy.

riling people up into a fervour of impending civil unrest
Not roddy adjacent. Just generally not fond of it either. By assuming "the panic" or "organising the panic" you may in fact be liable to make more likely "the panic". Things can but ought not to "get worse".
I don't see much point in criticizing people
Are abstractions like officials, nation states or religions fair game. Rhetorical.

They’re utilitarian and disgusting.
Yes. The whole "Peatarian" thing and Roddy's perspective, to me, has been like a hyper-focused "mediterranean diet," often excluding grains/pasta, beans, etc. It's like he was going to make a good soup, but just deconstructed real food and made it autistic. If it works for him, fine but yeah, I won't be cooking that stuff.
I seriously wonder if capital "P" Peaters are funded by Coca-Cola or the big sugar lobbies. I don't think it's as bad as the mainstream says, but it's sort of ridiculous. I had a doctor once recommend drinking a Coke to stop headaches (brought on by very warm school buildings/bad smells/loud noises/etc). It does work obviously because of caffeine and sugar. Add 650mg aspirin and then you're going to feel healthy again.
I'm glad they're offering these common sense views with scientific rationale to back it up, as the mainstream gets so incredibly stupid and destructive and totalitarian. But I'm thinking in terms of "more and less" not "all or nothing." There's no reason to never eat beans, or never drink tap water. It's just that the mainstream is like the opposite of Peaters, always promoting things that are actively bad.
No kidding... I hear people talking about drinking 1 gallon of water a day, and avoiding salt and sugar. It's nuts out here.

dude danny is a fed even if he doesnt know he is a fed. literally unironically retweeting ray with a hitler mustache and the caption ray putler is really not what a federal agent would do riiight
I don't want to accuse but nothing in the 21s century is organic. It seems nothing in the 20th century was organic. Nothing was ever organic, was it? Astroturfing is ancient and works well.

The biggest problem I have with Danny though is as far as I can tell the claim that he regrew his hair is fabricated. He has never presented any evidence that I know of.
Also, has he every shown pictures of being "hypothyroid," or any other condition? Not saying I need proof, but it's sort of like a hypochondriac, saying they were bald, tired, cold, hypothyroid, depressed, etc., whatever it is, and then "changed." Some of this may change naturally, but to attribute any or all to Peaty food is a little silly.
His hair regrowth videos are basically engagement bait, hypotheses and no evidence.
-
He's a wounded animal. It's written all over his context.
If you retreat to the middle of nowhere, build a bunker and start saying things like "bury me with". Your past probably has a clue or two in it.

If I trap you. Is your escape organic.

Well, again, nothing is organic, so saying or posting things is a nice way of getting attention or something else. I'm not inclined to believe everything that appears in this ether view of the world.

Ironically, I came across this tweet by his and I think it’s a great defense for him (it was for one of his recipe videos):
“I regularly forget that this video exists, but I think it's a good visual aid for someone who needs inspiration. I made this when I was crunched for time and couldn't go back to the store, which is why the portions are small. Well-cooked zucchini pairs well with eggs, liver, and oysters. It's important to understand these are just ideas and not a ‘day of eating.’ The video emphasizes two things that I think are important: balancing carbohydrate with protein and calcium with phosphorus.”I think autistic people flooding any online health sphere can make it’s major proponents appear more autistic than they are.

@LetTheRedeemed
Lol. A lot of this food could be casserole-ized or put in jello. -
That's certainly an easy ride. Maybe I'll return to that.
-
Roddy is not real. There are no lemons in life. Pull your bootstraps up.

@Corngold agreed. I do the tastiest hamburger helper that’s not really a lot of work, but is a foundational food with these ingredients — it’s not even got cheese, just a ton of milk and it’s freakin magic. Use rice noodles and I’m going to town

@Corngold frikassees and stews, French indigenous foods are basically Peaty, replace olive oil with butter, and it’s all a matter of how much time you have. Dairy galore and gelatinous meats.

The French do radish slices on salted buttered toast. Devine inspired deliciousness. I’ve asked, isn’t this carrot salad adjacent? No one ever bites on the idea. Root vegetable with fat. Mmm eh…
-
@dapose yes, both of you guys are right imo. Reading about Mediterranean food tells me this, but really most traditional European foods too. Pufa was natural in fish/meat and no industrial processing. I'm curious why Scandinavians loved Equatorial spices so much? Maybe vitamins and minerals that weren't as available in the north? I've read nutmeg actually treated plague which is why it was so expensive and desirable.
-
@Corngold solid comment. Also, if you ask Mediterranean, who are aware of the blue zone hype in America, they kind of despise it, because dairy in general, and butter and Ruminant animal fats Our staples of their diet outside of lent.
I think the Nordic regions are such big spice, traders, because a proper sausage is cured partly with spice, And add so much flavor it’s incredible.
-
@dapose A while back, I read someone mentioning how popular carrot salads are in France, ironically. They even sell it prepackaged in the fridges at checkout isles.
If you ever get to flip through a French region by region cookbook with pictures of the villages that the food comes from, you might get the idea that it’s as close to heaven on earth as one could be
And just like the rest of Northern Europe, French food is offal and dairy Dense.
