Clemenza: The Red Meat Renaissance

- Red meat as a complete, nutrient-dense food source containing high-quality saturated fats, protein, B vitamins, and micronutrients unavailable in plant foods alone. - The cholesterol narrative was built on cherry-picked data from the 1960s (Ansel Keys' seven-country study) and has been largely debunked; cholesterol is foundational to hormonal function. - Massive centralization in food processing: four companies control 80% of beef processing, and two companies control 100% of chicken genetics, creating a stranglehold on smaller producers. - Post-WWII agricultural policy weaponized food through ammonia fertilizer abundance and monocrop subsidies (corn, soy, wheat), deliberately designed to increase US geopolitical leverage over dependent nations. - Bayer's acquisition of Monsanto created a vertically integrated monopoly: controlling herbicides (glyphosate), seeds, and downstream pharmaceuticals to treat diet-related diseases. - Modern chicken has been genetically engineered since the 1950s "Chicken of Tomorrow" contest to fatten quickly on corn and soy, losing nutritional density and creating unstable oxidized fats harmful to human health.
