BOM, 4, 2, 1, Ben Greenfield eats ants.

Just want everybody to know.

Hey, if I was going to go to Disney as much as you go to Disney,

I'd eat a lot more black ants. Why you eating ants? Well supposedly, I actually don't know that much about ants. I'm just eating it because it supposedly gives you energy. I need to pick me up this morning. We lived

waste this morning and I needed a second boost of energy but apparently these

ants live in ginseng roots and they have something that grows in their heads

that acts as like a

neutral pick it's like some kind of a chemical neutral pick and it also supposedly

is one of these Chinese energy tonics it's like the whole you know the

doctrine of signatures you know the doctrine of signatures you know the doctrine of signatures

No, it's the idea that that things in nature give you clues right so so like when you slice open a tomato you've got the four chambers of the heart and tomato is supposedly good for the hearts or a pomegranate is good for your blood and the little pomegranate seeds look like red blood cells. You slice open a a carrot it looks like an eye or you

crack open an egg it looks like an eye those are those are good for your vision

sweet potatoes which everybody thinks is like a sweet sugary food,

those are actually shaped like a pancreas,

and they can actually help to normalize your beta cells,

like your insulin producing beta cells in your pancreas.

So you look at walnuts for your brain and people talk about

Avocados right supposedly they look a little bit like an ovary and they're good for female reproductive function

so you can you can carry that over from the plant kingdom into the

animal kingdom and say that if you eat ants because they're such energetic

endurance driven creatures that it supposedly will make you stronger.

Boy, that's a stretch.
