Our Species


The key theme of food talks is that eating more intelligently is not difficult, and that one doesn’t have to eat 100% different or change in any kind of major way. In fact, if you just change a little bit at a time, it is called a positive feedback cycle, and it is a snowball. So if only one time, you were going to grab a candy bar but instead you grab an apple or a banana and that only happened once in the next 55 years, don't think that is insignificant. The fact is, if we just do very small things, it makes a huge difference, not a small difference; you do one smart thing, it makes you stronger mentally and physically, giving you the potential to do another smart thing later on, and it builds up like a snowball. Eventually it just becomes very easy to act more intelligently.
We are primates and there are two kinds of primates that exist; monkeys and apes. The difference between monkeys and apes is that monkeys have tails, and apes do not have tails.
There is something called digestive anatomy, which means that if you analyze a species’ intestinal design, if you analyze the design of the actual digestive track, you actually can figure out what they eat. Biologist know, without even seeing what the animal is, they just open up the animal, look at the design of the intestinal track and determine whether it is a carnivore, or herbivore, or a fruit eating animal just because of the design. Now, if you were to take one of the apes and lay them on the floor dead, split them all open including one human, you are going to see exactly the same intestinal track. We have the same design, same digestive anatomy as they do. What you see is that, you have intestines that are 12 times the length of the torso.
The thing about comparative anatomy like this is that there is no exception. If the design of the anatomy is X, then they eat X. The will never eat Y because there are no exceptions to this. We have the same digestive system as all these other primates, all these other great apes, and so that means that we are meant to be eating the same thing that they are eating. And so, we are what are called fruibivores.
There are carnivores out there, there are herbivores out there and there are omnivores and there are fruibivores. So every type of food is going to have a different digestive system, for example, herbivores you know have multiple stomachs. It is so hard to extract nutrition out of just grass that it takes more than one stomach to do it. The carnivorous system is very short and very stout and very smooth because carnivores are eating dead animals and nature knows you don't want to keep a dead animal inside your body for too long, so the carnivorous system is very quick and very short and extracts the nutrients and out with the fur and the other stuff, the teeth, stuff it doesn't want.
The question is what is our digestive system and how does it relate. Remember, our intestines are 12 times the length of our torso, which means our intestines are extremely long, they are convoluted which means there's a lot of bends and turns, and there's a lot of nooks and crannies, a lot of hiding places because they are not smooth.
I want to address this omnivore-carnivore thing, because we are all told that we are omnivores? You eat anything! Have you ever seen, a big old home and the fire place has family portraits? Let’s make 2 family portraits and I am going to stick you inside either family portrait and you are going to tell me where you fit best. Portrait number one: monkey, Chimpanzee, mountain gorilla, bonabo, gibbon and orangutan, that is family number one, and you are welcome to put yourself into that family. Or if you want you could go into the omnivorous families and you can join the pigs, the rats and the dogs. Those are omnivores on this planet. Where do you think you fit? With the pig and the rat, because they will eat anything. Then you have the other choice which is these great apes that have very big brains that are extremely intelligent, extremely gentle and fruit eaters. I am guessing that you have already figured out where you probably fit a little bit more neatly, into the group of the great apes, fore so, that is what you are, and second of all, you probably realize that there is not a lot of resemblance between you and a rat, or you and a pig in general
We are NOT omnivores, because if we were, we would be in the family of pigs and rats. But we are not, we are in this family of apes because we are fruibivores, and the proof is so simple; you open us up, and you see what our digestive system looks like, and it looks like all their digestive systems, if you open up a rats digestive system, it wouldn't look anything like that.

Background and Intention of food talks with Fred


I grew up very regularly, very conventionally and ate nothing but absolute garbage for the first 22 years of my life. I never ate one piece of fruit; I didn't eat anything that had any semblance of vitality or health for 22 straight years. I didn't start learning about this stuff until the age of 23 or 24, and at that point I started very intensely. I probably read over 100,000 pages on this subject, I went 7 years straight eating only raw vegan food.

By giving these food talks, my intention is not really to change the way that you eat or to change your life. Rule number one about us as human beings is that we are going to do whatever we want, and we are not going to do it because someone else told us to, we are going to do it because it is something that we found to be a logical thing in our life. 

In the mean time, just enjoy my real intention, which is to uplift your level of information. You have heard before that knowledge is power; but why is knowledge power? What does it afford you, what does it give you? Choice and options! If you don't know any better, because you don't know anything different from whatever you learnt and however you learnt it, then you are essentially what I call “chained or imprisoned to your own ignorance.

My intention is empowerment, not to try to change your whole life or hope that you do this or that, it's to simply uplift information. I am not here for you to believe me or to take my word for it, don't believe me because I am saying it, research it on your own. I am not interested in your faith; I am interested in speaking to you about how I understand this stuff, and if it makes sense, because I am only going to talk logic and basic fundamental biology here.

I’ll keep you posted on the right foods to eat and the best way to keep in shape and live in accordance with nature.
