Kids need to eat meat. We need to get this message out to parents.

For strong teeth and jaws, kids need animal based foods.

As a parents we can take a focus on the nutrients that animal foods provide.

Beef has some of the highest sources of these nutrient dense foods.

Most of the foods we give kids today provide very little of the core nourishment they need.

Grains, sugars, white flour-based foods all form the majority of ‘kids cuisine’.

One of the better-known issues of a diet lacking meat is B12 deficiency. B12 is critical for childhood neural development.

A vitamin B12 deficiency in children will often present itself with non-specific symptoms such as:

- developmental delays
- irritability
- lack of appetite
- anaemia
- weakness.

Vitamin B12 deficiencies can be due to a lack of the vitamin in the diet or that the vitamin is not being properly absorbed. To absorb B12, you need other nutrients that are animal based.

Kids that eat plant-based diets do not do as well.

One observational study looked at 187 healthy children between 2014 and 2016 who had been on their respective diets for at least one year: 72 children were omnivores (meat eaters), 63 were vegetarians and 52 were vegans.

The vegan children had an increased risk of nutritional deficiencies. They were more likely to have lower levels of vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, and iron in their diet.
Children on vegan diets had about 5% lower bone mineral content and were on average 3cm shorter in height. This is important, as the higher the bone mineral content, the higher the bone mineral density.

Bone density is important. In children, if they are not placing this quality bone, then it’s likely they never will.

And of course, don’t forget strong teeth and jaws.

Are you children beef-based?

Eat more traditional fats like butter, rendered lard and tallow!

Why are seed oils bad for us?

Let’s explore three theories:

THEORY 1:

Seed oils contain plant-based omega-6 based compounds that increase inflammation pathways in the body.

When you eat them in predominance, it may increase inflammatory processes in the body which is one of the main underlying mechanistic theories driving many common chronic diseases.

Theory 1 is important, but it’s not the central reason why they are bad for us.

THEORY 2:

Seed oils are industrially isolated, processed, and chemically treated before they reach supermarket shelves.

In terms of the food chain, seed oils like canola oil for example, are genetically modified from the toxic rapeseed plant into ‘Canola Oil’ which is purely branded for supermarket shelves.

Theory 2 is also important, but just because something is industrialized, doesn’t inherently make it bad. We need to ACTUALLY understand why they are bad for us.

Theory 3:

The justification of seed oils is based on low-fat heart healthy medical messaging.

According to a statement made by the American Heart Association in 2024 via Dr. Christopher Gardiner a professor of Medicine at Stanford.

“While seed oils do contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, that’s not a bad thing. Polyunsaturated fats help the body reduce bad cholesterol, lowering the risk for heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association supports the inclusion of omega-6 fatty acids as part of a healthy diet.”

Now we’ve found the root cause of why seed oils are bad for us.

They replace traditional animal fats that include cholesterol and saturated fat as well as other critical fat-soluble nutrients such as sunlight derived vitamin D which underlies the production of s*x hormones and creates strong health teeth and skeletal bones.

Plant-based seed oils contain none of these nutrients and accelerate the modern, under-nourished state that leads to chronic disease.

This is why we need them removed from the food system.

On these warm days of summer remember to stay hydrated! Pickleball Cocktail is a great tasting electrolyte supplement without all of the junk! I drink a large glass each morning as soon as I wake up. It comes in Orange or Blue Raspberry flavor.
