Would be very interested to hear something on the topic of childhood obesity and the effect on hormonal balance testosterone etc, particularly for young men.

[@DelenaLearns]

I grew up with maybe a little protein once a week or less. There was some in the fruits and veggies but minimal. My parents werent vegitarian. We were just that poor.

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

Love Don Layman. He's one of those guys like Brad Schoenfeld that I wish they were more present in social media. They're always great guests too.

[@nattyfatty6.0]

6:26 And specifically without any consent, which is the frightening part if you ask me

[@turbdonkey]

Just another reason to homeschool if you can.

[@stretch1807]

Will it stunt bone growth?

[@stanlevox2291]

Probably, doubtful the human body wants to produce more bone if it can't have the skeletal muscle support. Also lower growth hormone release = less bone during developmental stages.

[@K4R3N]

My kids are older but i chase them with protein. They understand macros.

[@K4R3N]

Wasn't big belly an iodine deficiency?

[@movement2contact]

No, that's thyroid.

[@ayo9057]

Don may need to supplement testosterone.

[@helenhucker346]

Thankfully there are plenty of plant sources of protein.

[@christopherpittman445]

Yes, but plant proteins tend to have poorer bioavailability, so you have to eat more than you would in a more balanced omnivorous diet.

[@oceaniccurrents]

Thankfully meat is 100% bioavailable

[@towritemichelle210]

Right? God forbid the kids don't get heart disease. We can look to other cultures who have historically eaten very little animal protein in Asia and Latin America

[@franks_fishing11]

Plant protein is poison (long term) to the body
