NYT bestselling author Dan Buettner talks about the history of plant-forward cuisine in the US & how these diets can alleviate …
Another Blue Zone not identified or talked about are the traditional food cultures of the Pacific (including Australia). Traditional Oceanic diets are based on vegetables and fruit with minimal meat consumption. Traditionally in the Western Pacific (Vanuatu, Solomons, PNG, Fiji, Tonga & Samoa, etc.), people relied mainly on slow foods (a term I've heard used in Vanuatu) – things like root crops (e.g. taro and yam), seasonal fruits and nuts and supplemented by seafood. Traditional domesticated animals, like pig and chicken, are consumed but were mainly reserved for exchange/ceremony and were not consumed regular like they are now in the towns/cities. Post globalisation, the diet has shifted to Western processed/fast foods and unfortunately health in the region has declined.
Countries with higher meat consumption such as Australia, Canada and France have the lowest CVD rates. Countries with very low meat consumption such as Yemen, Syria and India have the highest CVD rates and low cholesterol levels naturally, and statin use is one of the lowest in the world.
So my runner son who as a little kid slept walked and peed in that drawer just might be okay? Got it.
people ate chickens thru out history… people had them in their yards.. when my father was little hes 102 now… he ate chickens that my grandma had in the yard…she butchered them and they had fresh meat and eggs… you can push your vegan stuff all you want but no matter if you eat meat or plants as long as they dont contain chemicals your good..pasture raised not grain fed animals you will have all the nutrition you need..
Bought a few copies for stocking stuffers! Remember planting a garden is like printing money.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
You should try épicerie Radis in Québec,île d’Orléans. Vegan plant base Italian and so beautiful

Love this! Ordered the book today! Plant based since 2019 and have never looked back. Look forward to getting to experience some new recipes
5:42 you really shouldn't be worried about his arteries, he doesn't eat sugar and processed foods. He not only looks in supreme health (which is actually an under valued measurement) but also is in supreme health when you talk to him.
Have Peter Roger's MD as a guest
Please
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
I was brought up on a generational Cattle Property in South East Queensland. The Homestead was hand built out of hand cut hardwood timber by my Ancestors. I was taught at an early age to ride a horse and help with the mustering. I would walk or ride 5 miles to a one room Primary School. We had no power – just a 32 volt generator – that had to be run every day to charge the batteries for lights only. A wood fired cast iron stove with wood sourced from the trees on the property – later gas cylinders for stove and hot water system. Kerosene fridges and one Kerosene heater. A two hole (one small for the children, one for the adults) "drop" toilet a small distance from the house. Water from rain water tanks, a bore and fenced dam to keep stock out to keep water clean. We had no pastures, no fertilizers although the cattle had to be "dipped" to control ticks which have since been eradicated in this area. We grew most of our own fruit and vegetables but did a trip to "town" every couple of months to stock up on basic supplies e.g. flour, tea etc. All bread etc was baked. Milking cow milked every morning and cream churned by hand into butter. We did a "kill" periodically which was shared with our neighbours…we did this on rotation. Chicken run which were fed food scraps and "free ranged" in the paddocks which were also a food source. I remember getting a teaspoon of sugar with a drip of Kerosene if ever we had a sore throat. There was a local telephone exchange only operational for restricted hours. Just for a time frame I was born in 1958. This was my childhood before being sent to Boarding School at age 13. I am now 64 (with no major health issues) and am very conscious of the "food" available today. It makes me sad. I no longer live in the Country and it is a full time job trying to source "healthy" food. I also miss the "simplicity" of self sustainability. This might be a bit off topic but just a window into the pioneers of Australian Agriculture. Cheers 🇦🇺😊
It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm so glad that I did as Dan has been one of my favorite guests of yours. He's so knowledgeable and inspiring to listen to. I wound up buying his Blue Zone books after listening to him on your podcast. I never would've known about him if wasn't for you. You are very humble Rich, but Dan was absolutely correct when he said that you are doing a tremendous service through these deep and in-depth conversations. So kudos to both of you for the amazing work that you're doing.
Love the education around the history of food! Each podcast with the two of you is better than the last! Its true that cooking plant based for your friends is the best way to turn them on to the lifestyle 🙂
There used to be a VEG in the Philly suburbs. I was fortunate enough to go there a couple times. Unfortunately it closed. There was a picture on the wall with the owners and T. Colin Campbell.
I am over the moon excited about this food company!!! I see so many plant-based meals made with cruddy oils and we are so in need of delicious plant-based meals. Of course it would be fabulous if everybody could take the time and prepare them at home but for people with busy lives that want to live their best life to have an option like this will be incredible!!
Can you please post the info for that Good Vibes restaurant? I'd like to try it but it's super difficult to find it. Thanks
Are there any "blue zones" that are far less plant-based eating? I have not heard of this.
Looks like El Gallo in Asheville is permanently closed?!
a forgiveable slip but detracting on first viewing, calories per gram protein is not 6 but as carbs. Gotta get the basics right.
It's short sided to believe that the Blue Zones exist just because of diet. There are many factors that contribute to overall health. For instance, in Okinawa, they eat a fair bit of pork but they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. Plus, the elderly are honored instead of pushed away by family.
We already know that it's SUGAR that creates the plaque in arteries and not red meat, so his snarky comment about Sisson's one steak a day is unfounded. In fact, carnivore and keto diet followers are getting good results with blood tests and are dropping weight. So let's just be honest and note that it's excess sugar and processed foods that are killing us. We evolved on meat. It's not the enemy.
Dan said 4 cups of beans per day will add 4 years to your life.This is jut one example of a blurry statement. Can for example a 54 year old now doing that could extend his/her life for 4 years? Rich does not have a fact check machine at hand to see if these statistics are correct or realistic.
Fabulous, educational and entertaining podcast – a must for food and life enthusiasts 👍🥰
I would take exception to Rich's comment at the end where he says something to the effect that his podcasts are only as good as the content his guests bring to the discussion. I've been listening to him for years, and I have yet to hear any other podcast with such an exceptional host! He's well emersed in the subject matter his guests bring to the table and he's very skilled and pulling out all the great nuggets from those guests…and he LET'S THEM TALK! So many podcasters seem more interested in interjecting their own stuff into the discussion rather than seducing the really meaningful discussion out of their guests. Stellar combination!
I just went to the cafeteria at the college I work at. I grabbed a to go box filled with chopped up raw fruits and veg. It weighed 1 pound and they charged me 10 bucks. My coworker got a string cheese, a Naked juice, and a flavored yogurt with granola in it. 6 bucks. Why. Just why.
Deceiving information. Sure, the first Thanksgiving may not have had turkey. They had deer, geese and duck. Important info to not leave out if you want to promote a vegan agenda. Let alone saying these veg diets were had do to lack of income. That's right. Meat is for kings not peasants. It's health. You'd think the king would get the best of foods and they are still promoting he get the best. Pig food for the rest of us peasants. We'd live long and have a very long poor quality of life that the body starts breaking down eairly and a slow long poor quality death. There's are parts of the world where meat is high in the diet and these people live long as well but the difference is they can work and be totally physically better off at 90 than me at 44 and then when it's time, they just die. No getting ill at 35 amd get worse amd worse amd unable to live and then die.
Wonderful podcast! Thank you both 😊🌱
Can't wait for the chef Babette episode 💗 she's my idol
What about the Hunza people living at the base of the Himalayas in Northern Pakistan? They are plant based and it is said they have NO CANCER. People there live to 140 years of age but DON'T have good birth records.
Very interesting…. Always a good guest. However, I am a little discouraged that the vegan chefs and restaurants that are springing up tend to be way out of reach for most of us. I’m hoping for the cookbook that can bring good food to those of us who can’t afford these fancy expensive places and exotic ingredients
This is the best Rich Roll cast I’ve watched. Sending Dan’s book to all my family members and best friends. I’m an old friend of Brian Wansink.
What a Beaut!
when an educated and well travelled person talks about america as the u.s i just loose imterest – america is actually the continent and nOt a country.
Excellent interview! Thank you to both of you!👍🌈
Great video!
Meat is good for you, processed food is not. If you compare the vegan diet compared to the carnivore diet, who is more metabolically healthy,
