I get this question A LOT. I got it during a recent talk and guess what... I WAS ABLE TO ANSWER IT LIKE A CHAMP. And now you can too. Let me know what you think of this information! Cow's can't catch a break! First there was the nutritional attack using saturated fat and cholesterol. Now they are drinking too much water?! What Cows Actually Do TODAY cows and bison and other ruminants do pretty much the same thing that they have ever since they’ve been on this planet. Even in conventional farming situations they are raised on pastures for most of their lives: They move across the pasture, eating natural vegetation, transforming the vegetation into their flesh for food for omnivores and carnivores All the while adding back water, nutrients, and microbes back to the soil, fertilizing and rebuilding the soil. Most of their water comes from the water that naturally falls on the land. most ot their water comes from the vegetation they eat - just like it always has! False Numbers The numbers typically quoted FOR THE water consumption for cattle and beef are almost always exaggerated. The water amounts typically quoted are the estimated total amount of water consumed by the cattle over a lifetime. What you don't hear is that the majority of the water cows consume is water that would be there anyways, that falls on the land naturally through precipitation, absorbed by vegetation, without irrigation. Just like it always has! A small % of the water is from what we would consider to be precious water resources and IRRIGATED water. PRO TIP! It takes less of this VALUABLE water to produce 1 lb of beef than it takes to produce 1lb any of the conventional edicble crops including almonds, avocados, wheat, corn, soy, and rice. Types of Water There’s a distinction between types of water used to determine water footprint. 1. Green - precipitation, this is water that’s gonna be there regardless. It’s absorbed by soil and by plants. 2. Blue - this is the one we care most about in these discussions. This is surface water in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, aquifers, and this is also the water that we irrigate. Cattle Water Consumption 95% of cow water consumption is green water! Less than 5% of water consumption by cows is blue water. Cattle Advantages Cattle occupy land in it’s pristine shape, the land does not have to be modified… In fact they occupy land that isn't fit for crops Cattle rebuild the soil. An estimated 30% of the water they consume is put back into the environment. Pound for pound, beef is one of the most nutritious foods you can consume. Crop Water Consumption If we look at crops, compared to beef, if you look at TOTAL water crops may appear to beat cows out, but this is a manipulation of numbers because it includes GREEN WATER. Pound for pound, it actually takes more of this precious BLUE water to produce the main agricultural crops such as avocados, walnuts, sugar, rice, and almonds. Irrigation of crops takes up over 70% of fresh water withdrawals. Crop Disadvantages The way most crops are farmed, they are NOT rebuilding the soil… in fact they do the opposite. Through repetitive farming, most crops create hard impacted dirt, which does not hold water and contributes to runoff. In a lot of situations, YOU HAVE TO MANIPULATE THE LAND to make it fit for crops. make it flatter. which can contribute to runoff and soil depletion. Plants typically require massive amounts of fertilizer, glyphosophate, insecticides, and herbicides. Nutritionally, there is no comparison! Pound for pound beef beats any crop there is in protein, vitamins, minerals… except carbohydrates! NOW this isn’t an argument against crops! It’s an argument FOR beef! It’s an argument in defense of beef! Why the Confusion? It’s propaganda. Its’ agenda driven. Anytime you see MAINSTREAM NARRATIVE, consistent messaging coordinated by mainstream news, government, organizations, and corporations, there’s a reason they are all pushing it! If you’ve been skeptical of these organizations about any other topic in the past, what would make this any different? Use your common sense! Do these beautiful animals really look like the problem they are made out to be? I truly believe there’s a push for you to NOT eat meat because makes you strong. If you want to be strong, clear minded, vibrant, and resilient, EAT MEAT. As you’re doing it know that it isn’t just good for you, it’s good for all those around you and it’s good for the planet.

Dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma can be challenging. And this is why: ?? Sometimes you feel like you're stuck. ?? You think you have to "think" your way out of it. ?? You're not sure what else you can do. Talking with Mikala gave me some super simple insights into what you can start doing immediately to shift yourself into a better state. So whether you experience debilitating emotional states or you're just trying to live a better life, these tips can help: * Get your health foundations figured out! It's all about context. It's more challenging to work on your mental and emotional states when you're less healthy. BUT, being nutritional sufficient, making energy the right way, feeling good with minimal symptoms, and thinking clearly make it much easier to do deep work. This all comes from health. Learn how to eat real food properly. Optimize your sleep. Find a workout routine that fits you. And learn to manage your stress. If you need help, this is what I do, reach out https://superhumantransformation.as.me/talk-about-anything * Contact with others is crucial. You'll experience "co-regulation." Positivity and happiness are contagious. Connecting with others can help you to regulate your own nervous system. This happens automatically! Just make sure these connections are healthy! Think about spending regular time with partners, family members, and friends that support you and make you feel good. * Find a community to be a part of. We are social creatures and we need this connection. This is an extension of the co-regulation concept I just mentioned. But it's broader. Find a group of people you can connect with on a topic that interests you and gets you fired up. I ADORE my online community SuperHumans United. It's focused around health and community, and that's it! You can also connect with a community for hiking, playing sports, playing games, or hobbies you enjoy. Connecting with these communities helps you get yourself out of your head and into something present-moment-based. * Say yes to opportunities to get out and do things, especially with others. And especially when you don't feel like it. This will shift your state immediately. And here's some more tips: * Have a non-biased person in your life that you can connect to. Someone that is objective and who can give you honest feedback. * Most everyone would benefit from a therapist. But find a therapist that does specifically does parts work or internal family systems model of psychotherapy. * Learn about your emotional states.
