  • Vegan/Vegetarian episodes?

    Just listened to the carnivore episode and funny how they “deconstruct” diets (horrible work in some of the “facts” about carnivores by the way) and I just find it weird that there hasn’t been an episode on Vegan or Vegetarian diets (speaking of elimination and stupid diets XD) which makes me wonder…anyways, one star because if you’re going to be flying a flag in particular (YDS flag) then you should really do that for all the diets.

  • Informative

    The 5 stars is because the information is great and the humor is fun. But ….there is too much cussing for me.
