What the Health Page #10

10th richest country in the world.

I went back and dug deeper into the

health organizations' funding,

and there it was again.

These organizations were

accepting millions of dollars

from pharmaceutical companies that

are making billions of dollars

from the very same diseases these health

groups are supposedly trying to end.

It seemed like a major

conflict of interest,

unless ending these diseases

isn't really the goal.

The pharmaceutical

industry spends more money

on lobbying than any

other single industry.

Just like animal agriculture,

they are so powerful,

they write their own laws

that have had activists

imprisoned to silence them.

The government's in bed with anyone

that gives them the most money,

which is the pharmaceutical industry,

which is the animal ag industries,

they are pumping the

government full of money

and resources, and in return, the

government's giving them want they want.

Subsidies, imprisoning

activists that go against them,

and I think it's quite

telling that these industries

are working so hard

and spending so much money

to criminalize people for

simply taking a picture,

for simply recording what's going

on inside these facilities

and making it

known to the public.

They're behind walls,

they're underground.

They're in these secret facilities

that no one knows about,

but if they did, they would

be shocked and outraged.

And I think people would

not want to think that their

pharmaceuticals, that their food

are coming from these places.

And that's why I think it's such,

the ag-gag laws are what they are

is because they are trying to silence

people into not speaking out

and not showing the truth.

[Kip] I finally realized

how deep the collusion

truly is between government

and these industries.

And how dangerous

it could be to expose them.

These concerns intensified after

meeting the USDA whistle-blowerrrr

who revealed mad cow disease

in the US meat supply.

USDA operates

like the military.

So, when I got on TV

and that right away,

USDA sent out memos to all the

veterinarians and food inspectors,

"If anybody from the media ever

contacts you, do not talk to them.

Refer 'em to Washington DC,

and we will talk to them."

So, right away,

it shut up everybody.

American public should be

very concerned about this.

What's going on with USDA?

Here in the United States,

we have at least four

cases of mad cow disease,

but, I'm almost positive

there's more cases than that,

but, the government isn't

looking for it.

What you're saying

is that there could be

already mad cow's disease

in humans.

Right, and I think a lot

of it was misdiagnosed.

With the Alzheimer's

or dementia,

it takes several years

you see the progression,

but, to make it easier, these

doctors just sign off on it

as dementia or, Alzheimer's

without actually taking

a biopsy of the brain

to see if it's that or is it

actually a prion disease

like Creutzfeldt-Jacob

disease or, mad cow disease.

Do you think

it's safe to eat meat?

I personally don't

think it's safe to eat it

because of the fact how the

line speeds are increasing

and also our inspectors are

not well trained enough.

At the present time, the line speed

now is going about 220 cows an hour.

That gives you about, somewheres

around four cows per minute.

So, that's 15 seconds per cow.

These dangerous

slaughter speeds

means that animal waste

ends up everywhere.

Testing shows 88% of pork chops are

contaminated with fecal bacteria.

90% of ground beef and 95%

of chicken breast sampled

contained

animal waste bacteria.

There is nothing clean

about eating this way.

But, it just isn't waste, it's

also pus-filled infections.

You could see there's a bump

or some kind of abscess

underneath the hide.

Most of the time when

the hide's pulled off,

either that will open up the abscess

and the the pus will come out,

or if it's deep-seated, when the

inspectors are doing their work

or the company employees,

they might stick their knife

into an abscess, and it

explodes all over the place.

[Kip] I had heard enough. I was

utterly disgusted by the corruption,

the greed, the disease and the

abuse I was learning about.

The very animals we were killing

were killing us and the planet.

But, so many people eat meat and

dairy every day of their lives.

And we are so concerned

about getting enough protein.

[Kip] Do we have to eat meat

to get complete protein?

Oh, my God, oh my God.

You want me to jump off this

building, don't you now?

Well first of all,

all protein is made by plants.

I'll state that again

for the record.

All protein is initially

made by plants, all of it.

And it is not necessary

to eat animal tissue

in order to get protein.

Only plants have the ability to

actually take nitrogen from the air,

break those molecules apart

and incorporate that nitrogen into

amino acids and then make protein.

Any protein you get from an animal

is simply recycled plant protein.

If you ate a diet that

was calorically adequate

and even things like brown rice and

broccoli and you got enough of it,

you'd get enough, both quantity

and quality of protein.

2,000 calories of

brown rice and broccoli

is gonna be about 80

grams of protein a day,

including the essential

amino acids that you need

in order to maintain

optimum health.

Greens are loaded with protein.

Beans are loaded with protein.

Vegetables are loaded

with protein.

You really want to get

your protein from plants

because plant proteins have a much more

beneficial effect on our physiology.

The funny thing

about protein is

most Americans get about

twice the amount they need.

Most Americans get less than half

the amount of fiber they need.

But, the conversation tends

to always be about protein,

so in my mind, it's just this

magical marketing campaign

that protein has taken

on over the decades.

The question is not

where to get your protein,

it's where do you

get your fiber?

I have never in my professional

career seen a protein deficiency.

I have never seen someone come in

eating normal amounts of calories

and they're protein deficient.

You just don't see that.

So, human milk has the

lowest protein content ever

in any species ever tested.

That's the fluid that's been designed

by evolution over millions of years.

And that's just like the

perfect food for human babies.

Perfect food,

lowest protein content,

any other mammal, and so gives a sense

of kinda protein requirements...

- It's lower than...

- Anything, so look...

- Lower protein than even...

- Than rat milk, ape milk.

- Really?

- Donkey milk, any milk that's ever been tested.

And you hear this a lot in body

builders who are like, "Well, I need

chicken, or, I need fish to be

strong, to build muscle tissue."

That is utter nonsense.

The largest, strongest terrestrial

animals on the planet

are all herbivores.

The biggest, strongest
