I’ll interpret “just learned” as in the last year or so

  • Lifting weights is good for you and you should do it
  • Running is only bad for your knees if your form sucks, your shoes suck, or you overtrain. Done correctly it’s good for you in basically every way.
  • Eat an inconvenient amount of protein, it’s also good for you.

Knees don't fail from wear, they fail from tear. If you're not actually injuring yourself, they get stronger from use, they don't wear out.

My main takeaway from this is that I should eat 5 times my daily calorie count in chicken breast and I'll turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger. Time to get out my KFC coupons

My kids love that I now make eggs and Canadian bacon with pancakes. They think it’s just a more elaborate breakfast. It may not actually be healthy but at least they’re getting some protein Instead of just massive amounts of carbs

Eat an inconvenient amount of protein, it’s also good for you.

No. You just shit it out. Your gut can only absorb so much protein in a day. Even if you only eat potatoes or rice, if you are meeting your caloric needs, you will automatically be meeting your protein needs. Meanwhile, animal protein is associated with very serious health issues.

And of course the facts that you have known all along but choose not to connect with emotionally: that the experiences of animals are real and matter.
