In this episode, we pick up where we left off in part one and dive right into GMO’s (0:35). Since the beginning, we’ve been genetically modifying our food. The only difference now is that we can be more selective by picking and choosing those genes. As for those arguments against GMOs, research has proven that it’s safe to say that there is no harmful impact of GMOs on human health (3:12). There are studies out there that have taken a sample of individuals who shop GMO vs. those that do not (4:08), which have resulted in the findings that there is no real benefit to not eating GMO (6:23).
Moving forward, we discuss the vegan diet, which has been deemed as “superior” to all other diets (7:02). Whether you’re a vegan or not, we take a deeper dive into what few things should be taken into consideration in regards to food choices (11:05). Last but not least, we touch on following If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) and eating highly processed foods (17:40), as well as explain the study behind the Twinkie diet (18:05) to tie it all together.

| 0:41.9 | We have been kind of just selectively making foods grow more and others less. |
| 0:48.2 | The only difference is that now we can actually selectively look at, hey, this plant has |
| 0:52.4 | these genes that we want. Let's 100% select these genes. We can look at, hey, this plant has these genes that we want, let's 100% select |
| 0:56.0 | these genes. |
| 0:57.2 | We can look at them. |
| 0:57.8 | We can choose them. |
| 0:58.7 | Before, it was just, all right, well, this banana grew more. |
| 1:02.5 | Let's plant this one. |
| 1:04.4 | The thing with GMOs is that, so there are things called primary metabolize the foods, |
| 1:10.2 | and those are protein carbs, fats, |
| 1:12.1 | things that both us and foods have in common. |
| 1:15.2 | GMOs, where people are concerned is in the secondary metabolize. |
