Ryan and Anji discuss the pro-meat protein bias on the new Discovery channel reality show, the Naked Castaway. The stranded castaway struggles to scavenge a handful of tiny sea snails and geckos to get his beloved protein, while almost ignoring the calorie rich plant based foods surrounding him that would provide more than sufficient protein, along with much needed carbs, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Like most Westerners, he's convinced that protein is the nutrient source for bodily energy while also being clueless to the fact that plants, not just animals, provide ample protein.
