Podcast: COVID-19 Series: Can We Prevent the Next Pandemic?

Today we ask how can we prevent the next pandemic? (Hint: the answer has to do with changing our food system)

[lorah]

👍 #BoycottMeat and all other animal products, cruelty and exploitation in any way possible!

[gabrielahimsa]

GO Vegan. Best move of my life. Healthy cheap moral simple delicious, easy storage, complete nutriment
win win win win win win.. its one of the most obvious choice to do, not eating mass murdured animals when plant give all we need.

[HarbingerBK]

This one had so many funny lines & also so much hope! "You don't need to cook the crap out of your meat if there's no crap in it" 🤣🤣🤣
I have been vegan for almost 5 years which has granted me a plethora of health benefits (including reversing early stage autoimmune disease), however I understand that most people are in the "pry my porkchop out of my cold dead hand" camp and we really need affordable, accessible lab meat ASAP in order to combat climate change and prevent future pandemics!

[jasonhsu]

I'm hoping that meat produced from stem cells can soon replace traditional meat.

While I'm avoiding junk food until the pandemic is over, it seems that the majority of the population has maintained or increased junk food consumption. I'm also eating as many superfoods as possible, including natto, sauerkraut, pineapple (exclusive food source of bromelain), and Brazil nuts (just one or two per day).

What disappoints me is that there is STILL no national dialogue (here in the US) about the role of excessive junk food consumption. There's no controversy about Twizzlers, Cocoa Puffs, Pepsi, donuts, and Cheetos. The worlds of alternative medicine and conventional medicine disagree on many things, but they agree on this. The low fat and low carb factions are at odds on so many issues, but both groups agree that all these junk foods are unhealthy. Even the vegans and carnivores alike agree that all these junk foods are unhealthy. So why are so many people eating foods that are so universally regarded as unhealthy?

[markbrad]

Yes the future has to be plant based to stop the cause of pandemics. Also we need faster reaction times regarding quarantining outbreaks. Difficult though with asymptomatic virus like SARS.

[wendyscher]

Your audio gain is too high btw. I hear it peaking.

[phatvegan]

Your humor 🤣 doc!! Thanks Doc Greger and Team!!

[davidthescottishvegan]

Great video but I don't think the next pandemic will be prevented because as long as we depend on not just the food system but all the products that are dependent on animal expoiltion it will happen again. Because as long there's unnecessary interaction with animals the threat of viruses will exist.

[duenben]

Still waiting for the sibo series 🙋🏽‍♂️

[amypola]

Plant based meat is potato starch and a ton of oil. I got cystic acne.

[bashisobsolete.pythonismyn]

Prevent the pandemic? You can't escape the pandemic! Mwua, ha, ha, ha, ha!

[lynnritchie]

Unfortunately this current pandemic has been so over-egged, the next one may be treated with a lot more scepticism. And I don't see many, scared or otherwise putting two and two together. Certainly nobody I know is looking to give up bacon. More's the pity.

[lovepeacehappy]

😥not in different language. Not all understand. So pitty.

[premier]

if "we" doesn't include americans, yeah sure, probably, would be the answer.

[Scottlp]

It’s 2020 what is the track record of “experts” this year?

[dvaden]

Do potato chips and chocolate cause comorbities? Fingers crossed, Fingers crossed.

[MichaelQing]

How can we prevent the next pandemic season...

Increase the supply of Vitamin D and Multivitamins in our modern medicine how to treat to prevent catch another MER-COVID virus

[wadepatton]

Dr. Greger also did a one-hour presentation on pandemics-- FOURTEEN years ago. That's not 'plandemic' folks. That's just the facts.

[fiendeng]

NOW HAS NO CREDIBILITY. Still has no clue how important sun is in digestion or hormone regulation.

HE IS TRYING TO INDOCTRINATE YOU

[crazywaffleking]

I have no interest in going vegan, such a miserable life.
