Summary
Elle Russ chats with CJ Hunt, the writer, producer and host of the break out film (and first Paleo documentary), The Perfect Human Diet, and author of the how-to companion guide of the same title. CJ is currently in production for The Perfect Human Diet 2. On today’s episode, CJ dispells the lies behind current health news headlines, falsely concluded health studies, articles, and more.
If you are in the Ancestral Health, Paleo, Keto or Ethical Omnivore camps, healthy animal foods and their production are under constant attack by popular films like Forks Over Knives, Cowspiracy and What The Health. These films and films like them claim that animal foods are not only destroying our health, but our environment as well. CJ’s mission is to counteract these false narratives and bring the truth to the forefront by not letting these propaganda films go unchallenged. You can help support this mission by donating to the film which is non-profit endeavor.

| 0:22.0 | Hey, everyone, welcome to the Primal Blueprint Podcast. Today, one of my favorite people in the |
| 0:26.6 | industry, as I've said many times on this show, C.J. Hunt. He was previously on episodes |
| 0:31.5 | 121 and also 267. He's the writer, producer, and host of the breakout film and the very first paleo |
| 0:38.7 | documentary called The Perfect Human Diet. He's also author of the how-to companion guide of the |
| 0:43.9 | same title. And he's in production on the Perfect Human Diet to Dispelling the Lies. And I invited |
| 0:49.3 | him today because CJ is really the person that when I'm confronted with a conundrum about |
| 0:53.6 | some health issue or study, |
| 0:55.7 | I will call CJ. He usually has a wonderful answer, and he's got a background in investigative reporting. |

| 1:05.9 | Thanks so much, Elle. It'll be fun. |

| 1:21.1 | So when we were chatting about possibly doing the show, we looked into some sort of major topics, things in this world. |
| 1:29.2 | I'm not sure where we want to start here, but let's just, you know, give us your intro on this, because you look at things in a |
| 1:36.6 | different way than we do. Yeah. Well, you know, it's interesting to me because I come at it more |
| 1:43.0 | as a reporter, and also because I've been around for a little |
| 1:46.5 | while I've experienced a number of times in dietary history where people get really excited |
