The Food Court: Animal. – Meat, Myths & Going Full Carnivore

This week on The Food Court, we’re joined by writer, director, and producer Josh Feldman, the visionary behind the bold new documentary Animal, now playing in select theaters and streaming platforms.

Animal. unmasks a century of lies about meat, health, and nutrition—exposing how political, religious, and corporate agendas shaped the modern food pyramid and left us sick, tired, and dependent on Big Pharma . Josh dives deep into his personal journey, the film’s cinematic influences, and why reclaiming our ancestral diet may be the key to real healing .

We also sink our teeth into: Why meat is medicine The truth about butter, tallow, and seed oils Why plants might not be the health heroes we thought
️ The mental clarity and energy boost of going full carnivore

Roland and Paul share how they discovered the carnivore diet after hearing Dr. Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan’s podcast—and how his Carnivore Diet Cookbook ( available now on Amazon) changed their view of food forever.

Featuring voices like Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Steak and Butter Gal, Dr. Cate Shanahan, Dr. Eric Berg,and many more—animal. is a primal call to wake up, eat smart, and feel alive again.
