    Has some good underlying points. Everybody should eat less meat and have a healthy balanced diet based largely on plants. Its good for you and the environment! Too bad it has to make its point by playing to the male ego with unscientific erection tests, fighters,…

    Game changers will, most of the time, throw you off your game. If even Arnold holds back on meat, I'll change my eating game.

    How could you get as strong as an Ox Without eating any Meat? Have you ever seen an Ox eating Meat? The quest for truth is only useful if you're prepared to take action on what you find.

    Really hammers you over the head with veganism but in a pretty compelling way
