I watched the Tucker Carlson video right off the bat and wow, what a lot of information. It reminded me of the movie The China Syndrome, I kept thinking of this guy as Jack Lemmon. It would only be a matter of time before someone was cutting his brake line and running him off the road to keep him from getting this information out.

Seems like an executive order of stopping the pharmaceutical industry from advertising on television would be a great start. Kind of like when they stopped letting cigarette companies advertise on television.

As you have stated many times before the pharmaceutical industry is now the main force behind medical training for doctors now. If they step out of line, they are isolating themselves and putting themselves on the outside.

In addition to turning obesity into addiction, the monster corporations flogging Ozempic and its variants are also providing cover to Big Food. They can continue to use High Fructose Corn Syrup and seed oils to maintain their profit levels. The perception of the public is that the drugs can "fix" obesity, so there is no need to worry about what's in the case of soda they drink every week.

Mike, I've just been prompted to renew my Arrow subscription. This I will gladly do, but now that you have shown us what you can do (amazing you haven't revisited drawing and sculpting in 40 years!), maybe there is more? I, and many readers would love hand drawn biochemical pathways from now on; you could sell numbered sets, ala the late Frank Netter. And, for myself personally, I would love busts of Gus McCrea, Woodrow Call, and Larry McMurtry too. I really mean that, I love those guys. I doubt you have slow days, but if you did....

Just saw my first TV ad for a law firm looking for people who have taken Wegovy or Ozempic for diabetes or weight loss and how they can join a lawsuit if they experienced any severe side effects like nausea, constant vomiting, stomach paralysis, etc. We knew it would happen sooner or later!

"As I say, I had no idea. If I had thought about it, I would probably have figured it out". You must have read Marcia Angell's 'The Truth About the Drug Companies'. It's the same tactic used as used for the journals. Pharma pays a huge sum apparently for a service that then becomes the main income for the organization.

Mike - another content home run - love those additional items to look at (you keep us busy all weekend with your info). No surprise about the CDC - which makes me wonder why anyone believes anything they say. But since research from the University of Michigan claims that growing your own food is worse for the environment than buying conventionally grown big ag food (noted in Heather Heying's latest post: Things That Caught My Eye #6)) makes me wonder what I should believe anymore. Thank God for the Arrow! And finally - no way could I watch that last video, even knowing that it never would've been posted had he fallen off into space. I get jelly legs watching a tv show where someone's standing on a building ledge - while telling myself that they're probably 6 inches from the ground. The real stunner in this Arrow was your artwork, which ability I would guess is what makes you a good scientist/doctor/researcher - the ability to see things in 3D - all the way around a subject - instead of a one-dimensional view of the world.

Given this list, you must have been really anxious to watch the Putin interview!

Small question. I bought two pound plastic jars of beef tallow a couple years ago and have kept them in the fridge since. That makes it a pain to use since tallow is quite solid when refrigerated and once I've used half, the remaining half is a struggle to get out a spoon at a time. In the videos for the Wagyu it show the stuff at room temp. Does beef tallow need to be refrigerated?

Thanks for the information about beef tallow.

How about lard? It's high in monounsaturated fat.

Maybe not enough saturated fat?

Thanks for all you do.

Very few people are as smart as they think they are (lol). Have only read FBR and Black Swan so can't comment on later work. Didn't know he was conned by Kung Flu False Flag. Just goes to show. Think you and others will "enjoy" Kunstler TLE.

Occasional use sure tastes good tho. Mostly use butter or olive oil.

Cooking with lard also works.

Morning Doc - Highly recommend that you and all your other readers purchase and read two books: Jim Kunstler's "The Long Emergency" and Nassim Taleb's "Fooled By Randomness".

Impressive art! I have the opposite of the art gene...in my college drafting class I struggled to draw a straight line with a ruler.

I bet you saw the video in Kevin Kelly's Recommendo newsletter. I had seen the same artist's diorama of Michael Jackson's hair catching fire last year but never watched the Mel Gibson episode.

Our source of beef tallow comes from the trimmings of the briskets we smoke. Dump the trimmings in the crock pot and tallow comes out.

Love your drawings and sculpture... looks talented to me...

As to the Vegetable oils being complicit in the obesity issue, I do agree... Kris Knobbe's videos make a pretty good case in supportl I am torn between Veg oils and fructose as the main cause. Both certainly contribute.

Finally, do you have any thoughts on why vitamin D seems to be very protective for a lot of health issues but when a randomized study is done, the effect seems minuscule ?

I thought olive oil was OK. Is it not?
