Today I had the pleasure of talking to celebrity chef, filmmaker, and all around great guy, Pete Evans. He co-hosts the #1 show in Australia, My Kitchen Rules which is in its 10th season and is shown in 160 countries. He\u2019s written a ton of books and cookbooks, he\u2019s created the show The Paleo Way, and has a great podcast called Recipes For Life. You may know him from the documentary The Magic Pill, which everyone listening has probably already seen on Netflix. \xa0 He\u2019s an amazing, positive force in Australia and the world, and it may not be apparent from our brief talk. We only had an hour so I\u2019m going to have him on again because there\u2019s so much more to get into. I\u2019ll get a better recording situation next time. You\u2019ll notice the quality wasn\u2019t so great due to the recording service we were forced to use. A lot to enjoy in this episode though - he brings up some really creepy stuff about the dietitians association of Australia colluding to discredit and silence himself and a prominent doctor who advocate for people to lower sugar in their diet. Absurd, but true. \xa0 These are the last few days you can pre-order the Food Lies film on Indiegogo. We really need your help to get this finished. We\u2019re not taking any outside funding and have so far used much of our own time, money, and resources. It\u2019s really coming out fantastic, and I can\u2019t wait to share it with the world. Pre-ordering is the only way to have your own copy and share it with family and friends and you\u2019ll get it a couple months early. It\u2019s also the best way to show your support for this podcast and getting this information out there. I really appreciate all the support so far and can\u2019t thank this awesome community enough.

• The power of an ancestral diet is undeniable - changes unfolded in real time on film as people got off their diabetes medication and got healthier
• The trial of Professor Tim Noakes (listen to Prof. Noakes in episode 3) was going on at the same time so they decided to film that as well
• Dr. Gary Fettke has also been silenced by the dieticians in Australia. He\u2019s an orthopedic surgeon who cuts off limbs due to diabetes yet he was silenced for telling patients to avoid sugar
• Had great stories from Nina Teicholz, Joel Salatin, and Lierre Keith (all friends of Food Lies film/this podcast)
• Original cut of Magic Pill was more controversial and inflammatory but Pete wasn\u2019t comfortable with that

• He\u2019s working with Dr. gary Fettke to get the dietary guidelines changed in Australia
• Dr. Gary Fettke got ahold of some internal files showing Dietitians Association colluding with multinational food organizations to have himself, Pete, and other members of the paleo community silenced or discredited
• The more films and information about ancestral eating, the better
• Carnivore movement - Shawn Baker and Mikhaila Peterson - it\u2019s good to fight against the vegan propaganda and prove meat isn\u2019t harmful, but in fact beneficial
• Pete put up a $1 million bet if those dietitians can prove that the grass fed, grass finished steak and vegetables he served his family for dinner can be proven to be harmful
• As a chef, why would you use the blandest foods in your cooking? The pasta, the bread, the plain starches that add no nutritional value or flavor. Instead you can use the most nutrient dense and delicious foods possible - all the low carb foods
• Nora Gedgaudas and her life changing book for Pete, Primal Body Primal Mind https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9571633-primal-body-primal-mind
• They went on a speaking tour together over the course of 2 years
• Food should be something you can eat straight from nature, full of nutrients and flavor. That is not wheat and grains
• The problem is we are taking bland foods devoid of nutrients (refined carbs) and adding fake flavors to them which is tricking us into overeating and not getting adequate nutrition
• The Dorito Effect https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22609354-the-dorito-effect
• From a restaurant\u2019s point of view, the best thing for someone to order is the pasta because there\u2019s such a high profit margin
• Cooking your own grass fed meat, wild caught seafood, and organic vegetables is very affordable and can be cheaper if you make a little effort
• Don\u2019t wait until your health fails to start eating correctly
• What if there was a generation of young people who grew up thriving their entire lives on a good diet?
