Topics found in this episode include:

🔬 The Biological Battle: Dr. Chaffee introduces us to the intriguing world of plant defenses. It turns out that plants, just like animals, have evolved some incredible mechanisms to fend off predators. From cyanide in certain plants to oxalates in beloved spinach, and lectins found in legumes, the plant kingdom is equipped with an arsenal of natural toxins.

💡 Survival of the Fittest: Dr. Chaffee's argument stems from the idea that these toxins aren't there by accident. They're a result of millions of years of plant evolution. In the wild, it's truly a "kill or be killed" scenario, and plants have had to adapt to ensure their own survival. They use these toxins to deter herbivores from munching on them.

🥩 Human Adaptation: But what does this mean for us, modern humans? Dr. Chaffee makes a compelling case that our bodies are better adapted to consuming meat due to our evolutionary history. He argues that our ancestors primarily relied on meat during the ice ages when plant-based options were scarce. According to him, the carnivore diet aligns with our biological design.

🌱 Dietary Dilemma: Of course, this perspective raises some challenging questions for those of us who embrace plant-based diets. Can we find a middle ground between plant defenses and optimal health? How do we navigate a world where we're told to eat more greens but are also learning about their potential pitfalls?
