I Applaud you Terrell for venturing into this highly charged topic that frightens off so many who fear alienating their subscribers. However, you have a unique opportunity to educate your tribe who are motivated to improve their health and performance but also the earth upon which they walk/run. Plant based diets have a powerful way of healing us and the earth. I look forward to weighing in with some of my knowledge informed by years of reading and studying this subject. I leave you with one sentence I always find true: “You can’t outrun a poor diet”.
I used to think that our own desire and willpower as individuals was all we needed to do/eat the right things, and exercise -- but now I see how limited our willpower really is. It wears down over time, and we need environments/surroundings that nudge us to eat the right things, walk and exercise, rather than always having to push ourselves to do those things. Sure, you can muster up the willpower -- but it's like the tortoise and the hare: yes, the tortoise may occasionally beat the hare, but it's not the way to bet.
Love it. And you are in a good position to help “disrupt” conventional thinking on this complex subject. I look forward to your leadership in this space. You might find Jonathan Safran Foer’s book: “We are the weather” quite compelling as he discusses in a unique way the intersection of food and climate change and how we ALL matter in the mitigation of Climate Change. Ok. Off to my hour walk/run at my tortoise pace as I meditate on what I must do to become a good ancestor for my children and grandchildren. I visualize my “future self” and let it pull me forward in a thoughtful and meaningful and strategic way....♥️👣♥️

Thanks, Clark! As luck would have it, I spotted this article last night on the prevalence of diabetes in America, and it got me thinking more about all this: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/05/health/diabetes-prevention-diet.html
