"Anyone who thinks its normal or natural to eat an animal should do it. But don't give me any of this BS of taking the feathers off or cutting the fur off."
In this episode, Dr. John McDougall answers YOUR questions about weight loss, hypothyroidism, eating fats, wether a salt-free diet is healthy, and much more. We also talked about surviving the California wildfires in 2017 and what his retirement plans are as a medical doctor.
