Let me hit you with some nutrition facts that will make your expensive supplement stash look ridiculous. A single 3-ounce serving of beef liver contains: more vitamin A than a week's worth of carrots, more B12 than most people get in a month, more iron than a pound of spinach, more folate than prenatal vitamins, more copper than shellfish, more zinc than oysters, and more choline than a dozen eggs.

All for about $2-3 per serving. All completely bioavailable (meaning your body can actually USE it). All in food form that humans have evolved to recognize and process for millions of years. Yet we've been convinced to spend $50+ monthly on synthetic vitamins that our bodies mostly excrete unused.

Here's what happened: somewhere around the 1950s, we decided that muscle meat was "clean" and organ meats were "gross." This is pure cultural programming. Every traditional culture on Earth prized organs over muscle. Warriors ate the heart for courage. Pregnant women ate liver for fertility. Athletes ate kidneys for endurance. They knew something we forgot: organs contain concentrated nutrients because they're where the animal stores its reserves.

Everyone's obsessed with salmon. It's the "healthy fish." Doctors recommend it. Influencers post it. Meanwhile, the most nutrient-dense, sustainable, affordable fish in the ocean sits in tiny cans on the bottom shelf, completely ignored.

Here's what they don't tell you about salmon: it's almost all farmed now (70% globally), raised in crowded pens, fed GMO corn and soy pellets dyed pink to fake the color, treated with antibiotics, and contaminated with PCBs and dioxins. Wild salmon? Costs $30+/lb and is often mislabeled farmed salmon anyway.

Now let's talk about sardines, anchovies, and mackerel. These small fish are wild-caught (can't be farmed economically), feed on plankton instead of being fed pellets, live short lives so they don't accumulate heavy metals, contain the ENTIRE fish including bones (calcium) and organs (nutrients), and cost $2-4 per can.

You're taking oils extracted from big fish (tuna, sardines, anchovies), processed in factories, oxidized during extraction, put in gelatin capsules with preservatives, shipped around the world, and stored in warehouses. By the time you swallow them, a significant portion has turned into harmful lipid peroxides that actually INCREASE inflammation.

Meanwhile, a tin of sardines gives you fresh omega-3s still protected in the fish's tissues, vitamin D from the fish spending time in sunlight, calcium from edible bones, selenium to protect against mercury, protein, B vitamins, and CoQ10. All for $2. In food form your body recognizes.

The demonization of animal fats is one of the greatest nutritional crimes of the 20th century. For millions of years, humans thrived on animals - meat, organs, and fat. Then in the 1960s, Ancel Keys published his fraudulent Seven Countries Study, cherry-picking data to blame saturated fat for heart disease. The vegetable oil industry saw an opportunity, and suddenly butter became the enemy and margarine became "heart-healthy."

Fast forward to 2025, and we're paying the price. Heart disease rates have INCREASED since we swapped animal fats for seed oils. Obesity has skyrocketed. Metabolic disease is epidemic. Meanwhile, the PURE study (135,000+ people, 18 countries) found saturated fat consumption was associated with LOWER risk of mortality and stroke.

Here's what grass-fed animal fats actually provide: fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that fights cancer and promotes fat loss, stable fats that don't oxidize when heated (unlike seed oils), palmitoleic acid for heart health, and the building blocks for hormones, cell membranes, and brain tissue.

Your brain is 60% fat. Your hormones are made from cholesterol. Your cell membranes need saturated fat to function properly. When you replace real fats with industrial seed oils, you're literally building your body from damaged, oxidized materials. It's like trying to build a house with rotten wood and being surprised when it collapses.
