Dr. Gary Fettke - ‘Is it Safe to Eat Real Food? The Land, The People, The Police’
Dr. Gary Fettke discusses the safety and implications of consuming real, unprocessed food, particularly in the context of chronic diseases linked to processed foods and inflammation. His talk combines insights from his extensive experience in regenerative farming, the evolution of dietary practices, and the detrimental effects of modern agricultural methods on health and soil quality. He emphasizes the importance of real food, particularly animal-based nutrition, and advocates for a low-carb, healthy fat lifestyle as a means to combat prevalent health issues like obesity and diabetes.
Key Points
Role of Processed Foods and Inflammation
Dr. Fettke highlights how processed foods contribute to chronic diseases through inflammation, suggesting that a return to real, unprocessed foods can mitigate these health risks.
Importance of Regenerative Farming
He discusses regenerative farming as a solution for improving soil health and producing nutritious food, arguing that the health of the soil directly affects the nutrient density of the food grown.
Critique of Dietary Guidelines
Fettke critiques global dietary guidelines, asserting that they have led to increased health issues despite being widely followed. He advocates for guidelines that focus on low-carb, healthy fats as necessary for metabolic health.
Metabolic Health and Carbohydrate Reduction
He presents data indicating that a significant percentage of the population is metabolically unhealthy and suggests that therapeutic carbohydrate reduction can help address this issue.
Influence of Farming Practices on Health and Ecology
Dr. Fettke explains the negative impacts of modern agricultural practices, including the depletion of organic matter in soil and the environmental consequences of plant-based versus animal-based farming.
Resistance to Change in Health Care
He reflects on the challenges faced in advocating for dietary changes within the medical community, often being met with resistance, and emphasizes the need for proactive approaches to dietary health.
Call to Action for Real Food Advocacy
Fettke encourages listeners to embrace real food for personal health and to advocate for systemic changes in dietary guidelines and agricultural practices.
Notes:
The largest global agricultural export is top soil
The industrial plant based agriculture is robbing the world of its soil.
The fall of the Roman Empire was due party to its agrulctural practice
Every single person who appeared in game changes (vegan propaganda video) had a reduction in performance and ability in the next two years.
Eat by the food pyramid, you will die by the food pyramid, and along the way you will look like the food pyramid
93.2% of the population is metabolically unwell
He is using a old 2018 study, its up to 96% now
So if all the dietary guidelines are being written for healthy people, that is less then 7% of the population… massive gap for the majority of the population.
Dr. Fettke’s theory for the root of modern epidemic of NCD (non-communicable chronic disease) is inflammation. Inflammation from sugar, from carbs, from industrial food oils.
His proposed new dietary guidelines
Eat fresh, local, seasonal whole food produce according to your cultural beliefs and environment, reducing added sugars, and processed ‘food’.
The only local food available all year round for most of the planet is animal based food, so the above statement is encouraging a keto/carnivore diet.
Your food should not float on a ship, or fly in a plane. Local food is healthy food.

The demonisation of red meat has nothing to do with science.
Food labeling, The PBF “meat” products have meat in the title, and pictures of pigs and cows on them. 50% (really?) of Austrians are functionally illiterate. This PBF packaging could be misleading.
The Australian National Diabetes Strategy 2021-2030 Has an official Therapeutic Low Carb intervention as a approved policy now. https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2021/11/australian-national-diabetes-strategy-2021-2030.pdf
Remission of type 2 diabetes in adults (HbA1c < 6.5% while not taking any blood glucose lowering medication) can be achieved with dietary interventions and bariatric surgery. Dietary interventions include total diet replacement followed by stepped food reintroduction and low carbohydrate diets - Pg 18
