Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse? With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality. That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.  So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformations?  And are regular joes and janes like us actually better off without private...

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.   The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority. As Seth Godin writes,...

Is your work aligned with your true calling in life? Or are you being paid to overlook your overwhelming disinterest in the work? Is your work-life driven by an illusion where the trivial is disguised as important? Tragically, this week’s guest admits, “I spent 10 years doing an enormous amount of work but feeling as if I created nothing of substance.” Most of us know the feeling, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In other words, work doesn’t have to suck. Today, I'm thrilled to have my good friend and fellow Austinite, Paul Millerd joining us on the show. Paul is a fellow former...

What does the concept of longevity mean to you? Does it mean pumping your body full of exogenous hormones, peptides, stem cells, brain implants, and gradually replacing your organs with lab-grown pig parts? Perhaps some of us will sign up to be a brain in a jar? Or can we cruise into our second century by living a simple life of self-reflection, meditating deep in the mountains? Afterall, in remote corners of the world, there are legends of yogis and spiritual masters living so long that their true age is forgotten to time. Indeed, there are many paths on the road to a long life. In the years...

Abel James Show (aka Fat-Burning Man)

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it? We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage. Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition. But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option. And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way. By helping you work through the subconscious emotional blocks that prevent you from taking positive action, finding...

Have you heard that eating animal protein causes cancer? Or that you’ll save the world if you only give up hamburgers forever?  Despite dutifully reducing our consumption of animal protein for decades, rates of obesity and chronic disease have skyrocketed.   In the face of relentless anti-meat propaganda, what if the blanket advice to follow strict plant-based diets is actually accelerating rates of obesity and disease?  When I gave up meat as a young athlete for the sake of health and the environment, my results were abysmal. I lost muscle, gained fat, lacked energy,...

Abel James Show (aka Fat-Burning Man)

If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem? No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough?  This is totally normal.  There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep.  We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness is flawed, however, as it assumes we’re meant to live in some...

Do you feel like you’re addicted to screens? Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life, but instead it’s fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity. Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure you’re as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder. The endless pursuit of corporate profits has created an algorithmic race to the bottom. Constant digital stimulation rewires our brains, upsets hormonal...

Are we blaming red meat and butter for the problems vegetable oil caused?  Contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between either saturated fat or animal fat consumption and heart attacks.  Despite that fact, doctors learn that there is.  So why does the American Heart Association lie to doctors and the public about the true cause of heart disease?  All the way back in the 1950’s, Ancel Keys manipulated and falsified data to blame butter, red meat, and saturated fats for heart disease.  The American Heart Association has been misleading us about the cause...

What do you think of censorship?  It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn.  We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard? And who exactly decides what's true and what's not?  After I was censored and shadowbanned by multiple platforms during the pandemic, a wise friend reminded me that...

Does it feel like a dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore? 

At first, inflation feels good for some of us. 

Homeowners see their houses rapidly increase in nominal price, the stock market appears to rise, even used cars and trucks sitting in the driveway growing older somehow appear to become more valuable. 

But when you fill up your cart at the grocery store, pay for skyrocketing insurance and tax bills, and account for rapid and permanent increases in housing, energy and all the other costs of living, you start to feel the sting of runaway inflation. 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve, in the past three years groceries are up 20% across the board, gas is up 45%, Energy is up 38% and credit card debt is up 45%. 

This would all be well and good if our salaries doubled overnight. 

Has yours? 

Debasement of our currency has eroded our standard of living, degraded nutrients in our food supply, and left us poorer and sicker than any time in recent history. 

Fiat inflation is a hidden tax lobbied without your consent, eroding the spending power of every dollar you've ever earned. 

In a debt-based fiat system, saving is a losing strategy. Increasingly, we're incentivized to spend immediately, not save. Corporations are incentivized to borrow, not earn. 

With cheaper access to massive low interest debt, the ruling class is able to gleefully stripmine any remaining wealth from the middle and lower classes. 

Since 1900, our dollar has lost nearly 99% of its spending power. 

This is not an accident. 

In 1900, a single dollar could buy a pair of patent leather shoes, a woman's house dress or even be saved with confidence. The average American could afford to eat 175 pounds of meat a year, mostly beef, as well as plenty of eggs, bacon and sausage. 

Collectively, our heart health was also far better. 

By 1972, we ate 104 pounds of red meat a year, and as of 2019, our consumption was cut in half to just 56 pounds. 

Since then, obesity and disease has become widespread in adults and children alike as our quality of life has deteriorated. 

Using propaganda from fraudulent studies, monetary distortions and backward subsidies, the collusion of government, industry and special interests has intentionally shifted diets away from healthful whole foods and nutrient dense meats to industrial seed oils, GMO grains, and fake meats. 

Doritos, Lucky Charms and plant-based fake meats don't increase in price nearly as quickly as real food like beef and veggies. For corporations, selling highly processed industrial products is much more profitable than selling meat. 

As our guest this week quips, “You can print Doritos like you can print fiat dollars.” 

Real food, though, has become cost prohibitive for many of us, so we eat processed industrial junk instead. 

This hurts people, especially kids. 

Thanks to government manipulation of food prices and top-down dietary recommendations, our mass consumption of ultra processed foods understates the rate of inflation in our food system and makes us sicker, allowing Big Food and Big Pharma to profit on both sides. 

As it turns out, feeding people poison and managing their sickness is big business. 

But this story goes far deeper than just Big Food and Big Pharma. 

Unchecked inflation has not only undermined real purchasing power and destroyed our health, but the fiat dollar has also enabled endless war profiteering without the consent of the people. 

The most powerful weapon ever conceived by man is the fiat money printer. 

Today we're here with Matthew Lysiak, a nationally recognized investigative journalist, crime reporter and award-winning author of the brilliant new book “Fiat Food” which unravels the shocking history of how inflation destroyed our health, our food system, and our quality of life. 

In this episode, you will discover: 

  • How a 100 year conspiracy and propaganda campaign by anti-meat religious groups, the medical industrial complex and politicians hijacked our food system for profit

  • Why observational studies on diet and health are misleading and are often weaponized for political and financial gain

  • How mainstream media and religious groups manipulate nutritional science to control public health

  • Why the government masks the true cost of inflation resulting from severing ties to the gold standard

  • Why the public school system deprives kids of proper nutrition

  • And much more…
