A carnivore podcast about life, THE MEAT OF IT is a series of solo rants and unusual conversations hosted by Michaelanthony, an artist from NYC. Over 3 years into a 100% carnivore diet for better health ― on an individual and global level ― Michaelanthony shares his zero carb philosophy and everyday adventures with you and his guests. (The chats aren’t always between two carnivores, but they’re always between two freethinkers.) Animal-based nutrition saved Michaelanthony’s life. Now he’s sharing and learning as much as he can about the rest of life’s unexpected truths. Let’s do more than chew the fat. Let’s get to THE MEAT OF IT!

Reading and commenting on today's news affecting meat and animal-based lifestyles! Questions and comments welcome in the live chat.
There's an anti-meat agenda spreading misinformation about the impact of animal products on human and environmental health.
Fatty red meat has healed our bodies (and minds) as carnivores. We're NOT going back to damaging ourselves with irritating, damaging plant sugars, oils, fibers, and phytochemicals. Eating bugs or petri dish meat from a lab is no substitute, either!
Cattle can be raised on grass almost anywhere in the world, with no need for arable farmland or feed, and they fertilize the land as they graze. Pollution comes from factory farming, which is forced on us by governments who make natural farming unprofitable or illegal.
Let's keep an eye on what's happening to and around our carnivorous lifestyle. If we know, we can prepare and preserve natural health for ourselves and for humanity's future.

The Carnivore Yogi (Sarah Kleiner) joins me for a chat about her animal-based diet, which has deeply healed her body, mind, and spirit.
She was vegan for two years and has lost 100 pounds ― three times! She has recovered from addictions, including to food. She chooses meditation over medication!
Sarah is also mom to a daughter with nonverbal autism ― and who, like her mom, feels much better eating keto!
Sarah’s story is powerful, and her energy is delightful. Prepare to be inspired!
Timestamps are below.
Apologies for the camera issues on my side. Didn’t even notice until later! I’m having my usual camera repaired following a tragic drop from its tripod.
Also getting used to this new microphone, so I hope that sounds good. Always aiming to bring you the best I can!
Thanks for watching (or listening), and see you again soon!

My Dad has gone keto! In a special episode for Father’s Day, here’s our conversation about his health transformation through diet and lifestyle.
Louis Henry Mitchell is not just my Dad, but also an incredibly talented artist. He’s the Creative Director of Character Design at Sesame Workshop, which produces 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵! He’s also a dedicated educator who has taught Character Design at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and is now creating a creative school of his own. There’s way more, but I’ll let 𝘩𝘪𝘮 tell you!
In this wide-ranging chat, we discuss Dad’s health journey and how it has impacted his life overall. We get into personal and family moments that have shaped our lives profoundly. I can’t tell you how happy I am to share this with you.
Timestamps are included below.
By the way: the files for this were almost lost in “the cloud,” but Zoom eventually came through. Sorry for the delay, and for teasing those of you who knew. Maybe I just wasn’t meant to release this until Father’s Day!
Thanks for watching, and see you again soon!

The meat supply has been dramatically impacted by a recent cyberattack on JBS, the world’s largest processor of beef, pork, and chicken.
Whether or not it has a big impact immediately, this situation is a dire reminder of how much we need to assert our independence from centralized food production.
The future of all food is in the practices of the past: local, pre-industrial agriculture, along with traditional hunting and gathering.
All this and more in a rant as I bike through Cunningham Park in Queens, NY!
(I start discussing JBS at 01:40.)
Eat meat and live free,

Our first live-streamed episode! Let’s skewer the latest news from the anti-meat agenda! This was live on YouTube on May 11, 2021.
I usually avoid the news, but even my favorite investigative shows often fail to focus on the insidious trends that threaten our freedom to be carnivores.
We’re going to discuss a few articles, separate truth from propaganda, and find as many healthy solutions as we can.
If we pay attention to what’s happening now, we can better prepare for the future.
Unbeknownst to me, the video stream had a very low volume. Thanks again to my patient audience. This recording has been adjusted for volume, so now you can hear me much better.
Eat meat and live free,

Franklyn and I met 25 years ago as pudgy high-school metalheads. I was always the heavier one, and grew heavier still. But by the time I’d lost the weight as a full-adult carnivore, Frank had developed a “dad bod.” To be stronger and live longer for his family, Frank sought better health and found it in a “carnivore-keto” lifestyle.
In this free-flowing convo, we discuss how eating meat and minimizing plant foods has healed Franklyn on multiple levels. This change has shaped how he raises three children with his supportive, naturopathic wife. Frank tells us not just how, but why they do what they do!
We share irrefutable anecdotes and debunk the anti-meat agenda! Frank also names a bunch of carnivores and other influencers he recommends for lifestyle insights.
This non-stop episode has something for parents, health nerds, conspiracy theorists, and probably anybody else who cares as much as they do ― about anything!
I’m very proud of Franklyn and his family, and know that you’ll get something out of his story. Frank is always good for solid advice or a corny joke. My fellow metalhead has truly gone full-dad.
This chat was an hour and a half! Yet it flies by every time I hear it.
A list of topics and timestamps is included below.
Thanks for hanging out with us!

An anti-meat agenda with backing from billionaires and multinational corporations is accelerating under the guise of urgent environmentalist action by world governments.
In other words, fascists want to take your steak to “save the planet” with their profitable alternative proteins. They might let you eat insects, though.
Before 2030, we could actually be censored for promoting meat consumption, taxed for eating animal products, and pushed into consuming experimental and processed imitation beef.
If this sounds alarmist, look at how little dissent is allowed regarding the pandemic. Authorities demand that everyone agree and comply for everyone else’s good. That’s also the plan for climate change initiatives, which include the attempted reduction or eradication of animal-based foods.
The World Economic Forum’s website says, “While we are reeling in the shock of what is happening around us and coming to terms with our new reality, we could seize this moment as a unique window of opportunity to re-build our society and economy as we want it. With scientists warning we have 10 years left to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, this could offer an opportunity to fix the climate crisis before it's too late.”
This article points to the rise of faith in experts during the pandemic and says, “We need to listen to climate scientists and policy advisors to win the climate change fight too.”
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/covid-19-climate-change/
A search for “meat” on WEForum.org reveals a long-term anti-meat agenda with an urgent deadline coming soon. Including a series of reports titled “Meat: The Future.” Much of the focus is on reducing animal agriculture and encouraging what they call “alternative proteins.” The WEF claims that meat consumption hurts the environment along with human health. This kind of industry-led misinformation controls the culture, supporting their openly-stated goals.
https://www.weforum.org/search?query=meat
And remember: If we’re not allowed to disagree with experts on the pandemic today, we can’t expect freedom of speech around climate change once this becomes the focus.
What can we do, then? Live as healthy and free a life as possible. Here and now. You were born free, and you don’t need to wait for permission.
All this and more in perhaps my longest rant ever!
This discussion begins with an answer to a Patreon supporter’s question about the raw Primal diet. Since I haven’t tried that exact diet, we’ll look back at my very lazy attempt at Paleo years ago. Along with my present-day love of raw liver.
The anti-meat agenda discussion starts at around 13:00.
Another carnivore conversation should be coming very soon!
Eat meat and live freely,

Michael Willis joined me for a chat about his carnivore journey! A facilities manager and granddad in his early fifties, Michael has lost over 100 pounds and, perhaps more importantly, improved his wellbeing from the inside out with a keto-carnivore lifestyle!
Michael’s healing began with a ketogenic diet. When he found his way to carnivory, his health improved even more. And, much like myself and many other carnivores, he is now an enthusiastic advocate for our surprisingly natural approach to health.
00:00 Intro to Michael’s carnivore origin story!
01:37 Weight loss versus other benefits of deep healing through diet.
03:06 Michael and I compare our past attempts at dieting.
06:15 How an unhealthy diet is like smoking and other slow poisons.
08:38 The role of patience in achieving improved health.
11:04 How a healthy lifestyle can reverse signs of aging.
11:40 Pushback from non-carnivores ― and how to (respectfully) inform them.
15:40 Both Michaels reflect on their carboholic pasts.
16:52 How online communications help connect us to more people and knowledge.
19:15 Sourcing more meat from independent, mostly local farms.
20:40 The struggle to minimize culinary vices ― and the reasons.
22:23 How fiber is overrated (or even miscategorized) as a nutrient.
24:05 The importance of sharing your story.
26:26 The push for veganism, meatless Mondays, and the whole anti-meat agenda.
30:44 The importance of having support from family, friends, and others.
32:22 How everyday people can change each other’s lives by sharing experiences.
35:07 How culture affects our views on diet and health.
38:16 Weighing the pros and cons of junk food versus diet.
39:23 Wrapping up the chat!
Afterwards, I chime in with a few more words to tie everything together. And to give some thankful shout-outs!
Michael’s story, like the spirit with which he tells it, is full of hope. He shares that hope with us generously in this conversation, and I hope some of that rubs off on you.

As the Excelsior Pass looms over NYC, I’m reflecting on the unspoken alternative: natural health.
This talk begins with a discussion of natural supplementation through both lifestyle and keto-friendly products.
I’ve been eating a lot of salmon roe, which is the lifestyle route. And grass-fed, grass-finished beef liver is the ultimate superfood, packing intensely bioavailable micronutrition. However, I’ve also started using electrolyte powder ― still all-natural, but stronger than mineral water. All of these are helping to further optimize my carnivore diet.
Here’s the mind-bleeping mountain goat video that got me to take electrolytes more seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG9TMn1FJzc!!!!!
I also discuss “The Great Reset,” recently re-branded as “The Davos Agenda” ― probably because people were creeped out by its totalitarian goals. If you think it’s just a baseless conspiracy theory, here’s their actual website: https://www.weforum.org/great-reset.
Remember: navigate all propaganda with caution. But it’s all there: the plans these plutocrats have for your life, whether you like it or not. They see your personal choices as either a nuisance or a threat.
We’re in the way of their goals to depopulate the planet, which is one of Bill Gates’ publicly-stated concerns. As strongly intimated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozlbeXrb_5A
This is unabashed population control by billionaires, who are currently installing a digital form of feudalism. Countless small businesses have been destroyed, increasing the wealth of even fewer individuals and corporations. Corporatism, the more capitalistic face of fascism, is merging big business and government across the world.
It’s important to remember that these people have no authority over you. Nobody has authority over you but yourself, as long as you actively defend the rights with which you were born. Anyone who says otherwise is a bully. You can stand up to a bully, can’t you? Will you?
My apologies for the background noise. This was actually outside on a windy day. I did my best to clean up the audio.
Just near the end, my microphone cuts out. Sorry for that, too! I’ve also tried to make that snippet more audible.
Coming soon: interviews! More details on the way.
Thank you for watching and listening. Stay healthy and free!
