Gamechangers is certainly changing the game... for logical fallacies🤦🏼‍♂️⁣
⁣
I’ve only made it through a small part and my god, it’s difficult to watch. It begins with talking about how gladiators were vegan based on a dubious flame test for a mineral called strontium. Remember that gladiators were slaves and were looked at like merchandise. It’s expensive to feed meat, carbohydrate based foods are much less expensive. Even if they were vegan, you are talking about the diet of a SLAVE, not an apex athlete. Further, there is some evidence they were fed meat until a revolt where they were then put on vegan diet so they’d be less aggressive 😆⁣
⁣
Then they talk about Nate Diaz beating Connor McGregor & try to draw the conclusion that it was because Diaz is a vegan & Connor eats steak🤦🏼‍♂️. Can’t possibly be that Diaz had better training, better endurance through training or that he was just a bad match up for Connor? Connor is a stand up fighter and Diaz has never been knocked out and has good hands himself but is an amazing Jiu Jitsu artist, a very bad match up for Connor. Someone he can’t knock out and who can choke him out if they go to the ground, which is exactly what happened. OR HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE fight happened 2 weight classes above Connor because it was on short notice & there’s no way Diaz could’ve made Connor’s weight class. Nope, none of that matters, it’s all because Connor ate steak 🤦🏼‍♂️⁣
⁣
This is what’s called confirmation bias. If you specifically seek out cases to ‘prove’ what you already believe of course you will find them. But what about all the people who beat Diaz in his career? Were they all just better vegans? 🤔. What about all the world class fighters who do eat meat. No one is saying you can’t be an elite athlete and also be vegan (except maybe carnivore idiots) but to pitch veganism as some magic performance enhancer using confirmation bias is fu***ng hysterical⁣
⁣
And before anyone starts in on the ethics of veganism, F**K THE ETHICS. IF IT’S ABOUT ETHICS THEN MAKE THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT ETHICS! Don’t sell it as scientific proof that veganism enhances performance
