You probably lacked the societal pressures that would have existed at the time that would have led to you being a different expression of your genetic material. You would not be you back then, you'd have been a completely different person. Much of who we are emerges from interaction with others, especially during infancy.

Cravings for meat? There were none. Sure I liked the taste of meat, but I was never driven insane by my thoughts relentlessly circling back to the overpowering need to put meat in my mouth. (Sugar withdrawals were nuts lol. And that was 13 years ago!!!)

After figuring out what speciesm is about, I switched to plant based, went vegan and the cravings for TASTE of meat (which I had for a year or two) were fulfilled by Next level, Beoynd meat etc. After a while, even thought of eating meat feels aversive. Accidental meat in mouth (it was put in salad in tiny pieces) made me gag it out. Wouldn't ever have believed this could happen, but glad it did.

Good information, Mic! Thanks. My own transition to WFPB dining revolved around me "re-framing" what I think tastes amazing. Took some work, but over time I think I hacked my instincts to crave greens instead of pizza. Friends and family still see me as hard to understand, but due to what I most crave, that no longer matters. It's different for everyone, I know, but I salute vegans everywhere for creating healthier base instincts.

I'm so very looking forward to this video. I have clearly seen the evidence to this claim, before now.
Our behavior is influenced not only by evolutionary history, but also by chemicals produced by our gut microbiome (neurotransmitters, hormones, nutrients). The balance of gut bugs in most people is disrupted by modern living (bottle feeding, processed food, drugs, environmental toxins), which causes all kinds of problems, including cravings for bad food. Lots of new research exists on this, which I would love to see Mic apply his formidable skills to summarizing.

I was nearly a carnivore at 30 years old. I resolved to find out where Health lies and that required me to stop all the meat. resolve. Became a vegetarian for the next 40 years. Other than that it's about biological imperatives that may be keeping us from changing for the better. At 30 the damage was likely done to my heart. At 72 a heart attack found that I was 90% clogged in one artery and 30 to 40% in the others. Stent. Or was it all the ice cream I kept eating throughout all those 50 years?
@ando4440

I don't know if the damage persisted or not, but just because you quit meat does not mean you became healthier if you started eating processed non-meat products. If you want to improve your health as much as practically possible, then you need to gather all these processed junk foods with added sugar and throw them in the trash. Focus on whole foods, incorporate high fiber foods every time you eat something. You already have coronary artery disease, it doesnt get more serious than that, so you don't have the wiggle room to enjoy processed junk food. If you go 100% whole food plant based with zero unhealthy processed foods, and you still have issues, then I will say it's genetic. Books recommendation: How Not To Die by Dr Gregor

Thanks. Good points though they have been sort of in one's consciousness, but examined more deeply and with examples and data here. 👍Broccoli reminded me of a craving for salad leaves being at the centre of the plot of a fairy tale: Rapunzel shut up in her tower craved, and I think stole, salad leaves growing in the garden of a witch... something like that, as I recall vaguely. Then a prince climbed up her long hair which she let down from a window and rescued her. I'm hazy about the details but I feel that craving came from a need for vitamin C: being a princess she probably had a lot of meat and perhaps refined flour bread, butter, honey and in the temperate climate of Europe the most easily available source of Vitamin C at that particular time of year may have been lettuce... Well thanks again for presenting things to muse upon.

Nice video. I hope we get more on neurophysiology in more videos! For certain addictions like alcohol, nicotine, opiates we find that the brain chemistry changes that occur can be permanent, particularly if the addiction started in child-teenage years. I presume these formative years also drive our food related behaviors. Some people who were fed processed crap in childhood have an extremely hard time as an adult eating healthy because these addiction related brain pathway changes are permenent.

I'm from Paris and telling people they're fat is also taboo. You could only do that to a very close friend or family member, and not in public, and with downplaying the severity of the weight gain "you've gained a little bit of weigh, didn't you?". I suppose the fat acceptance movement is also strong in France. One doctor of a friend didn't dare to tell her that the best solution to improve glycemic control was weight loss, only after I told her to ask him did the doctor said "yes it is indeed the most effective strategy"

If you have a point to make. Go and debate! Talk to some people. Don’t just sit in your echo chamber. Why are you such a coward?!
First time one of your videos rubbed me the wrong way. Let me explain. While evolution as a theory in biology is legitimate and has scientific consensus, a lot of derivative interdisciplinary science (i.e. evolutionary psychology etc.) rests on highly culturally biased and arbitrary prejudices in the formulation of their hypotheses. Speculative narratives of evolution are interesting and while reasonable as an explanatory principle that doesn't mean that the author's/researcher's specific personal interpretation of phenomena through the evolutionary lens is the correct one, as one could interpret the same phenomena through the evolutionary lens in multiple ways. The erroneous presumption of understanding the biological imperative behind phenomena at the hypothesis stage does not get challenged in this type of scientific inquiry because the presumptions get embedded in the method of study, as opposed to being falsifiable as the object of study. Scientific studies with poor methodology can and do get carried out and they generate results but the implicit bias distort the findings.

Mmm, 1\10 opiate coagulated cow juice, sounds delightful. I really wish it didn't taste so good. I know it's addictive and harms the planet and animals and my health, but it really does taste amazing when browned on a pizza. I was raised ovo lacto vegetarian and pizza was like a gateway to normality for me, I could eat something with other kids. We made it from scratch on thanksgiving since we didn't eat turkey. I worked at pizza places a bunch of times when young, learned about life there. I got caught up in the geometric perfection, laying on the ingredients perfectly and watching the cheese brown and develop all those maillard flavors. My attachment to pizza is multifaceted. Vegan pizza cheese, sadly, is gross, it just cannot replace real cheese yet for that. Chao is a pretty good grilled cheese, but nowhere near as good as real swiss. There really is a huge gap in terms of texture and flavor. If they figure it out I will happily be vegan. They gotta make it unhealthy but delicious, indulgent. If it doesn't scratch that itch perfectly it will not defeat real cheese. The should put opiates in vegan cheese, whatever it takes. I don't want to hurt the cows, but I will continue to do so by eating cheese until vegan cheese is perfected.
