Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.

Fire Starter, a fat from animal suet, can help with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients when combined with organ supplements.

Well SupportedLand used for growing corn to feed cows could be repurposed for grass-finishing cows and rehabilitating land.

Well SupportedThe world has a nutrient problem, not a calorie problem, leading to widespread nutrient deficiency.

Partially SupportedMethane from cows converts to carbon dioxide in about ten years and is then re-inhaled by plants.

Partially SupportedEliminating all US cattle would decrease global greenhouse gas emissions by 0.38%.

Partially SupportedThe United States has sufficient land to implement 100% grass-finished beef production, which would sequester more carbon than cattle produce.

Partially SupportedWithout greenhouse gases, Earth's atmosphere would transmit 394 watts per square meter of heat into space.

Partially SupportedSoil respiration and decomposition release 58 petagrams of carbon into the atmosphere annually, compared to 7.7 petagrams from burning fossil fuels.

Partially SupportedEach 1% increase in soil organic matter can retain one inch of rainwater, reducing flooding and erosion.

Partially SupportedRemoving animals from US agriculture would decrease greenhouse gases by a small amount (1.9%) but would lead to a food supply incapable of supporting the US population's nutritional requirements and cause nutritional and ecosystem collapse.

Partially SupportedUsing Firestarter with Skin Hair and Nails supplement reduces junk food cravings, hormonal breakouts, and sweet cravings.

Partially SupportedHumans can tolerate carbon dioxide levels of around 1200 parts per million, which is commonly found in greenhouses and promotes plant growth.

Partially SupportedAtmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased from approximately 285 parts per million to over 415 parts per million in the last 50 to 60 years.

Partially SupportedFirestarter and Warrior supplements are easier to take and less damaging to the gut and teeth compared to L-carnitine powder.

Partially SupportedThe sweat induced by Firestarter supplement is comparable to that from other supplements used.

Partially SupportedMonocropped land without animals appears depleted of nutrients and requires synthetic fertilizer.

Partially Supported97% of people, when encountering a problem, either do more or less of the same thing, while only 3% try something different.

Partially SupportedNutrient-rich food, such as meat, is needed to make healthier humans, not grains like rice, corn, or millet.

Not SupportedWestern medicine often treats illness by doing more or less of the same thing rather than trying fundamentally different approaches.

Partially SupportedUsing food as a lever can reverse chronic illnesses such as inflammatory, autoimmune, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction.

Not SupportedPre-workouts are ineffective and can be replaced by combining Firestarter with Warrior supplements for workouts.

Partially SupportedIt takes over 50 years for land damaged by monocrop agriculture to recover active soil organic matter and nutrient availability.

Partially SupportedThe Earth's actual radiation to space is significantly lower than predicted by Planck's curve in the absence of greenhouse gases.

Partially SupportedRotational grazing of bison on Roam Ranch has increased soil carbon over seven to nine years.
