Josh Feldman's journey to directing "Animal" began with profound personal loss. After his brother passed away following lifelong health struggles, Feldman found himself questioning the impact of his work. Having spent years creating reality shows like Shark Tank and Survivor, he yearned to produce content that could genuinely heal and elevate humanity.

This documentary doesn't merely advocate for meat consumption – it invites viewers to reconnect with a forgotten aspect of human existence. Through stunning visuals and powerful testimonials, "Animal" explores how modern food systems have distanced us from understanding the circle of life and our place within it.

"The carnivore diet broke me," he reflects, "I needed to be broken." Through simple, nutrient-dense foods, both men discovered a pathway to experiencing emotions more fully – both the joy and pain that make us human.

Trevor Gibbs' journey began in the quiet woods, where his love for hunting wasn’t just about the thrill—it was about understanding the land, respecting the animals, and reconnecting with nature. Each hunt taught him something new about sustainability and the intricate balance of life. But it was back in his kitchen, surrounded by cuts of meat and endless possibilities, that the real adventure began.

He started experimenting, blending flavors and textures, trying to create something that honored the animals he harvested. His goal? To craft a snack that wasn’t just convenient but carried the essence of the land it came from. Late nights turned into early mornings as Trevor perfected his recipes, guided by a deep respect for regenerative agriculture and a belief in restoring the vitality of American soil.

That’s how Man Bar was born—a simple idea with a profound purpose. It wasn’t just a meat snack; it was a statement. Trevor wanted to prove that food could be ethical, sustainable, and outrageously delicious all at the same time. And he succeeded.

Man Bar wasn’t like anything people expected. It wasn’t just another jerky or protein bar—it was a revelation. With every bite, customers could taste the quality and care that went into its creation. The snack defied expectations and shattered misconceptions, proving that ethically sourced meat could be both indulgent and responsible.

Today, Trevor’s creation is more than just a product. It’s a movement that honors the land, the animals, and the people who believe in doing things the right way. His story is a testament to how passion, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability can create something truly extraordinary—something that’s as good for the earth as it is for the soul.

Dr Anthony Chaffee is an American medical doctor and neurosurgical registrar who, over a span of 20+ years, has researched the optimal nutrition for human performance and health. It is his assertion that most of the so-called chronic diseases we treat are caused by the food we eat, or don't eat, and can be improved, and in some cases even reversed, with dietary changes to a species specific diet. 

Dr. Chaffee discusses the issue of plagiarism and the unauthorized use of his work in a book. He explains that the book takes transcripts from his discussions and lectures, puts them together, and falsely attributes them to him and other prominent figures in the carnivore health space. Dr. Chaffee expresses his frustration with Amazon's lack of response to his complaints and his efforts to involve lawyers to address the issue. He also mentions that he is in the process of writing his own book, which aims to argue that chronic diseases are not diseases per se, but rather toxicities and malnutrition caused by a species-inappropriate diet and a lack of species-specific nutrition. He believes that the main cause of these diseases is the consumption of too many plants and other foodstuffs that humans are not biologically adapted to, and not enough high-fat meat, which is the proper nutrition for our biological design. The conversation explores the impact of diet on health and the need to shift from a sick care system to a focus on curing diseases. It discusses the health benefits of a meat-based ketogenic diet and the negative effects of processed foods and plant-based diets. The conversation also challenges the notion that plants are inherently healthy and highlights the high rates of diabetes and heart disease in vegetarian populations. The importance of questioning established beliefs and conducting experiments to validate theories is emphasized. Dr. Anthony Chaffee discusses the importance of focusing on reality and rational thought rather than being driven by emotions. He emphasizes the need to use both the heart and the brain to make informed decisions. He also highlights the benefits of a carnivore diet in improving health and reversing diseases. Dr. Chaffee addresses the criticism and skepticism surrounding the carnivore diet, pointing to the positive results and testimonials from his patients. He also touches on the ethical considerations of eating animals and the impact of factory farming on animal welfare and the environment. Finally, he discusses the importance of maintaining individual freedom and fighting against totalitarian ideologies.
