"While our earliest ancestors were more or less herbivores by nature, as indicated by their anatomy and physiology, Homo later evolved into an omnivorous species.
In herbivores the enzymatic digestion begins through saliva in the mouth. Carnivores, on the other hand, gulp down their food, which is digested only in the stomach.
In addition, fermentation chambers exist in the large intestine of both herbivores and omnivores, where the indigestible food components are broken down.
The intestine of a typical carnivore also differs from that of an herbivore with regard to its length. Carnivores have a very short intestine, herbivores have a very long one, while omnivores are somewhere in between.
The intestinal length in humans can be explained in terms of evolutionary history over the course of hominisation and is generally associated with an increase in meat consumption." - Nutrition and Health in Human, Evolution–Past to Present, PubMed

Phytoestrogens aren’t estrogen, nor do they act like human estrogen. They have a number of health benefits, including: lowering cholesterol, strengthening bones, treating menopausal symptoms, lowering risk of coronary heart disease, and reducing risk of prostate, colon, breast, ovarian cancers.
Whole food plant-based diet is the right choice for health and longevity.

Ultra-processed foods currently make up 60% of the American diet. People want cheap and convenient products. Chemists are great at creating addictive products. The food supply chain is not tailored for local production and distribution. Politicians support big agro. Whole food can't be market, ultra-processed foods can. Doctors are not educated in nutrition and lifestyle, they learn about drugs and their side effects. We are totally disconnected from nature. We don't know anymore what real food is and where it comes from.
Bitcoin won't change that.

There are historical and scientific records that proof that we have had an omnivore diet for most of our history.
Extracts from Nutrition and Health in Human, Evolution–Past to Present, PubMed:
"The diet of prehistoric humans was determined by the seasons, the availability of resources, climatic conditions, and the biotope they lived in. With a lifestyle dominated by gathering, the available food consisted primarily of plants (80%) such as leafy greens, sweet grasses, nuts, seeds, tubers, berries, roots, fruits, and pulses as well as animal proteins from wild animals and fish (20%)."
"While our earliest ancestors were more or less herbivores by nature, as indicated by their anatomy and physiology, Homo later evolved into an omnivorous species."
"In principle, humans are omnivores by biological design. Unlike other species, they are food generalists, which means that they do not make any specific demands on their diet. This allows them to survive under diverse conditions in almost all geographical regions by consuming a wide range of organic substances provided by the animal and plant worlds."

We have had plenty of time to adapt to eating plants. We also rely on the microbiome to digest plants.
The gut microbiome refers to all the organisms, amongh which bacteria, that live input colon. Fiber is the preferred food of the gut bacteria and fiber can only be found in plants.

Why We Are Carnivores
Definitions [1,2,3]
"An herbivore is an organism that mostly feeds on plants." Examples of herbivores include elephants, gorillas and cows.
"A carnivore is an organism that mostly eats meat, or the flesh of animals." Examples of carnivores include lions, tigers and wolfs.
"Some carnivores, called obligate carnivores, depend only on meat for survival. Their bodies cannot digest plants properly (...).
Most carnivores are not obligate carnivores. A hypercarnivore is an organism that depends on animals for at least 70 percent of its diet. Plants, fungi, and other nutrients make up the rest of their food. All obligate carnivores, including cats, are hypercarnivores (...).
Mesocarnivores depend on animal meat for at least 50 percent of their diet. Foxes are mesocarnivores. They also eat fruits, vegetables, and fungi.
Hypocarnivores depend on animal meat for less than 30 percent of their diet. Most species of bears are hypocarnivores. They eat meat, fish, berries, nuts, and even the roots and bulbs of plants. Hypocarnivores such as bears are also considered omnivores."
"An omnivore is an organism that regularly consumes a variety of material, including plants, animals, algae, and fungi." Examples of omnivores include humans, bears and red foxes,
Teeth [1,2,3]
Carnivorous mammals, on the other hand, usually have long, sharp teeth that help them grab prey and rip it apart.
Many herbivorous mammals have wide molars. These big teeth help them grind up leaves and grasses.
Omnivores have a mix of both types of teeth, with sharp teeth for cutting and grinding teeth for chewing.
Eyes
Grizzlies, fennec foxes, hyenas, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans are omnivores and have forwad facing eyes.
Brain development [4]
"Numerous studies have concluded that the freeing of the hands and the associated shift from a plant-based diet to one that relies more on animal protein was crucial for the development of the human brain.
Other studies have found that starch-containing plant foods were of equal importance for human evolution during the Pleistocene. Easy to digest carbohydrates are exceedingly well suited to the increased metabolic demands of a growing brain.
The invention of cooking further increased the digestibility of carbohydrates and improved their taste. When starch is cooked, more energy is made available to human tissues with high glucose requirements such as the brain, the red blood cells, and the developing foetus."
Digestion [4]
"While our earliest ancestors were more or less herbivores by nature, as indicated by their anatomy and physiology, Homo later evolved into an omnivorous species.
In herbivores the enzymatic digestion begins through saliva in the mouth. Carnivores, on the other hand, gulp down their food, which is digested only in the stomach.
In addition, fermentation chambers exist in the large intestine of both herbivores and omnivores, where the indigestible food components are broken down.
The intestine of a typical carnivore also differs from that of an herbivore with regard to its length. Carnivores have a very short intestine, herbivores have a very long one, while omnivores are somewhere in between.
The intestinal length in humans can be explained in terms of evolutionary history over the course of hominisation and is generally associated with an increase in meat consumption."
Stomach pH
Having the same pH as vultures because we eat decaying flesh of dead animals as part of an omnivore diet doesn't mean we are carnivores.
Fiber is "death in the wild"
The same process that he describes in his video with bacteria digesting fiber and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in gorillas and cows happens in our large intestine.
We have trillions of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and other microbes in your digestive tract making up our gut microbiome.
Without enough SCFAs the lining of our gut becomes unhealthy and more permeable (a.k.a leaky gut) allowing the content of our gut to enter our bloodstream contributing to chronic inflammation and increase risk of heart disease.
SCFAs help regulate the immune system of the gut contributing to limit the risk of Crohn's disease.
Fiber is not "death in the wild." Multiple bowel movements a day is not bad for you, it won't cause cancer. It will feed you microbiome which is beneficial to our good health.

Plants are trying to kill you
They have been failing for 6 millions years. Homo sapiens, the modern form of humans, have been around for 300,000 years and its population has grow to over 8 billion.
Why? Because we have learn to eat what doesn't kill us and our bodies have evolved to eat plants.
Our ancestors started as herbivores before becoming omnivores by adding meats and fish to their diet.

Animals in the zoo
"If you feed an animal something that it doesn't eat in the wild (...) they get sick. But what do they get sick with? They get obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, (...), arthritis and all the rest of them. These things don't exist in the wild." – Anthony Chaffe
Yeah! Of course.
Feeding inappropriate food to an animal will make it sick. Feeding meat to a Koala, will get it sick.
This doesn't prove we are carnivores.
Average life expectancy of a golden retriever
60% of Americans eat highly process food like substances. Most American don't exercise, they don't event walk anymore, they rather use cars, electric bike, electric scooter,... Dog owners impose that same lifestyle on to their dogs. And dog "food" is worst than human's.
Dogs are also subject to environmental toxins like second hand smoke, pesticides, and herbicides.
So no wonder they suffer of the same diseases than humans and that their lifespan has sharply felt down.
This doesn't prove we are carnivores.

In general, there are no specific insulin levels that doctors and scientists consider “normal.”
Having a high or low concentration of insulin in your blood could be normal for you. Or, it could point to a medical issue, depending on what else is going on.
Insulin prompts your cells to store glycogen, glucagon triggers your liver to convert glycogen into glucose and release it when your diet is low in carbs.
Together, these different substances help balance your blood sugar and energy levels.

Humans don't have carnivore teeth.
Lions, tigers and wolves have long, sharp front teeth which help them catch and tear into their prey. The back teeth are narrow and sharply serrated, much like the blade of a knife. They are used to cut meat into smaller chunks. These animals do not have flat chewing teeth.
Humans have wide, narrow at the tips, and somewhat chisel-shaped front teeth to bit off chunks of food. The back teeth are broad and flat to grind up foods.
Tigers and lions are equipped to hunt, kill and eat animals, they are fast, have claws and sharp teeth. We aren't, we are slow, have no claws and have broad and flat teeth. That's why we had to come up with creative ways and tools to trap, kill, take apart and cook animals.

Carbohydrates supply your body with glucose, which your cells use as main source of energy. Certain complex carbohydrates, like fiber, also feed your gut microbiome.
The microbes in your gut break down fiber into short-chain fatty acids. These are important for your health and help with blood sugar, blood fat, and appetite control, and they feed your microbiome to boost your immune system.

As you suggested I watch a video by Dr. Ken Berry: I Was WRONG About Veggies (Plant Problems) 2024.
Here are some of my thoughts:
Too many carbs and fibers
He thinks that for some of us vegetables contain too many carbohydrates and fiber. He doesn't explains who the "some of us" are, why thy are a problem, what digestive problems they encounter, and why those people might want to consider his challenge.
He is addressing a small group of people who have digestive problems and "weird inflammation* that they can't get a handle on. Those people should not do a challenge online, they should visit a doctor. They need personalised care from a healthcare professional.
Antinutrients
He says that vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals, but the problem is that they are not bioavailable. The reason is that plants contain antinutrients (phytates, lectines, oxalates, ...).
He doesn't mentioned that those compounds are present in such small quantities that they're unlikely to harm our health when eaten as part of the whole food — compared with eating them as a single compound. Or that cooking significantly reduces the levels of those compounds. Or that they there are research being conducted on their possible health benefits including slowing the progression of cancers, reducing inflammation and protecting against infections.
Inflammation
Polyphenols are a group of compounds found in plants. They boast a wide range of health benefits, thanks to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Having a reaction to one plant doesn't mean all plants consumption should be stopped. Is the reaction due to a allergy or intolerance? If it's an intolerance, find out how much you can eat without triggering a reaction. Slowly increase quantity overtime. Again work with a professional healthcare provider, don't do an online challenge.
Because some people have a reaction to a specific food doesn't mean we all have to stop eating plants. And saying that plants is the reason for the symptoms with medical investigation is pointless and dangerous.
With a carnivore diet you are missing out on health benefits of plants.
The gut microbiome is important for human health: digestion, metabolism, hormones, mood, brain health, immune system, energy levels.
The gut is home to 70% of our immune system.
Fiber is the preferred food of microbes in our gut. They break down the fiber and produce short-chain fatty acids, which are potent anti-inflammatory compounds that have healing effects on the body.
Plants contain a wide variety of healthy compounds like polyphenols. These act as antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory powers.
Animal products don’t contain fiber or polyphenols.
Here are a couple of podcasts you might want to listen to/watch if you are interested in learning why plants should be part of your diet.

By cutting out highly process foods and going on a highly restrictive diet you have remove the cause of your symptoms but you also have removed foods that are beneficial to your health.
Plants are not bad for people . They have always been part of our diet. Having a negative reaction to a plan doesn't mean that they are all bad or that you should permanently exclude the plan you have a reaction to. There might be an underlying medical reason that can be address or reducing the quantity ingested may not trigger a reaction.
Over 60% of the calories consumed in the US are ultra processed, and it's higher for children. Diets high in ultra processed foods have been linked with increased risk of heart disease, weight gain, cancer, and even mortality. If you are looking for a correlation between food and diseases, it's not with vegetables, it's with ultra process foods.
The reason people are struggling is due to the lack of food eduction, modern food production, financial incentives, and the way doctors are trained.
Also, let's stop comparing ourselves with other animals. We have different digestive systems and different ways to process food and extract the nutriments we need.
We should concern ourselves with how or body works, what it needs and how to provide it.

Why sent from self custody to custodial?

Nop. I own Bitcoin and I see it succeeding.
Saying fees is Bitcoin's spamming mechanism is saying if you can't afford the onchain fee, you are a spammer.

Good Bitcoiners eat beefs, a lot of it. But they believe the government is coming for their beef and will forced them to eat bugs instead. That's why they say no to the bugs.
Of course there is nothing wrong with eating insects, humans have done so throughout history.

They still get the 6.25 BTC each time. Backlog of transactions increases, fees increases. Helps maintsin high fee environment.

You collect copy of ID, selfy/video, full name, address, proof of address, profession, origin of funds, tax ID, before transacting with someone.

Self-custody is only possible on L1.
The block space is limited and fees a getting high with only thousands of users.
To onboard billions we will need custodial solutions like Liquid, Fedimints, Wallet of Satoshi, Blink, ecash,...
That's just math. Limited block space and billion users means high fees, and most people on custodial solutions.

Self-custody is only possible on L1. You don't have Bitcoin on L1, you don't own Bitcoin. You can't afford on-chain fees, you have to use federated solutions (Liquid, Fedimints) or custodial solutions ( Wallet of Satoshi, Blink, ecash,...).

Indeed, I don't know what's your point is.
My point is that saying high fees is a spam mechanism means, if you can pay, it's not spam. If you can't pay, its spam.
So, if you can't afford to self-custody and transact on-chain, you are a spammer.
That's why I have a problem with that.

Nation states with unlimited amounts of money to print don't care about fees on the Bitcoin network.
If they use Bitcoin, they transact in amounts that makes the fees not event a rounding error. And they print the fee anyway.
The higher the fee (5%, 10%, 25% or more), the more people are pushed out of self-custody. They either choose Liquid or LN custodial providers, or use other tokens.
If custodial Bitcoin is not Bitcoin, then Bitcoin is not for everyone.

People who have been accumulating small amounts of Bitcoin at 1sat/vb might have to pay 5%, 10%, 25% or more to transact.

Bitcoin core devs changed the code and we have to live with it. Pay high fees or use custodial apps.That's the future of Bitcoin. Get used to it.
