Eat a mouthful of grass and you get nothing. It goes in green and comes out green.
Eat straw and you get nothing. Your gut cannot touch cellulose.
Eat acorns and you get tannins, and a very bad afternoon.
Eat bracken and you get a carcinogen.
Eat nettles, thistles, brambles, rushes and moorland heather and you get a mouth full of blood and no calories.
Eat the beet pulp, the oat husks and the spent brewer's grain and you get the waste the factory couldn't sell.
Now feed the lot of it to a cow.
She turns every one of them into steak, butter, cream, milk and a hide, on land that will never grow a vegetable, using four stomachs and a fermentation vat you do not have.
The grass she eats grew on rain and sunlight, for free, on a hillside nobody can plough.
She is the only creature on earth that can take a field of inedible fibre and hand you back the most nutrient-dense food there is.
The cow is not competing with you for food. She eats the ninety percent you cannot.
Best plant-based diet ever invented. It just has a cow in the middle doing the hard part.
The older I get, the more I realize that life will meet you at your level of audacity. The people who get what they want out of life aren't necessarily the smartest or most talented. They're the ones who have the most courage.
I never liked that “confidence comes from evidence” quote from Hormozi. It implies that someone without past accomplishments cannot reasonably choose to be confident in themselves. It’s is not only untrue but also quite fallacious— beginners are the ones with the least evidence to draw from, yet they are the ones who need confidence most in order to begin accumulating that evidence in the first place.
Anyone can choose to be confident, at any moment, without evidence or reason, by surrendering to God and embracing their divine assignment. In fact, the mfs to be reckoned with are the ones who persist DESPITE lacking evidence. There is no logical basis for their mania. They don’t need social proof because God lit a fire in them that no one else could see. Unshakable confidence comes from having trust in God and your existence is the evidence.
Only 100 calories sells a lot better than 35 ingredients.
Convincing people to count calories instead of ingredients was one of the most profitable scams in history.
