Episode 6 is here!

The growing anti-vaccination movement is building momentum by the minute, and regrettably, their primitive beliefs can and have produced real, substantive harm to the rest of the population!

As confirmed by the recent slew of long-dormant disease outbreaks, such as the measles in the US, more and more parents are arming themselves with pseudoscience, and disregarding nearly 50 years of medical science, microbiology and epidemiological studies in an effort to combat the potentially harmful side effects "associated" with vaccines. These vexed anti-vaxxers are taking their fight to the frontlines of Facebook and Instagram to recruit even more thickheaded soldiers to advance all of us further into oblivion!

To make this matter even more complex, the vegan community is irresponsibly jumping on this dangerous bandwagon because commercial vaccinations do in fact contain several animal-based products. While this is absolutely true, we do need to consider that not suppressing dangerous pathogens through modern medicine can have pandemic like consequences and directly supports reintroducing diseases from the dark ages back into contemporary times.

Regrettably, in order to contend this anti-vaxxer drive, forward-thinking vegans, and non-vegans alike, may have to momentarily set aside their dietary agendas and support vaccine use because right here and right now, it is the only reasonable choice we have as a civilization bursting at the seams in population. Agendas aside, we must do what is best for civilization. BUT FEAR NOT plant eaters, plant-based vaccines are now being created and even administered in other parts of the world. The solution is coming.

In the case of vaccinations, the one thing that seems to be contagious is the misleading information that is spread by anti-vaccine movements. This has caused such an immense problem that the WHO has called the anti-vaccine movement a major threat to public health

Join the mettlesome trio as they examine the current science surrounding vaccinations and investigate the myth surround complications associated with receiving vaccines.

Episode 5 is here!

One of the most common assumptions people have when considering a vegan diet is that meat-free eating consists of ample lettuce accompanied with large portions of porous blocks of plain, flavorless and dull tofu.

Of course, a diet abundant in vapid soy curd is enough to make any plant eater shun tofu and lovingly embrace a heaping bowl of wet cardboard for dinner, right!?!

Worng!

Along with this naive, yet funny, picture that might come to the uneducated mind is the health concern surrounding tofu and all of its closets kin! In this episode, the RIOTEERS answer the burning questions “Is soy bad for you” and “Do you have to eat tofu as a vegan”?

Since soy is such a constant ingredient in plant-based diets, our triumphant -trio address the many misconceptions around this food. As a traditional Asian staple food, most know it from dishes like vegetable stir-fries before the veggie burgers have taken over the supermarket shelves. The health-concerned person might do everything to steer clear of any soy in their diet due to all the myths surrounding this plant-based protein.

In actuality, these concerns are simply the result of antiquated research or poorly misinterpreted results. Unfortunately, many widely circulated beliefs deter people from eating soy and instead, stick to eating high-fat animal products - which isn’t the right way to go about this at all.

So, is soy actually bad for you? We aim to set the record straight here.

Join the mettlesome trio as they examine the current science surrounding soy consumption and investigate the myth surround man boos (moobs) and cancer!

Take a short step back in American history when organic food was the norm, and organic food was, for all intents and purposes, simply food.

As we recklessly charged into the age of industrial agriculture, with the bountiful promises of higher yields (and profits) thanks to synthetic herbicides and pesticides, organic farming, or American farming more importantly, became more of a artistry, where the tree huggers and hipsters are on the fringe of that health-conscious society, and trust us, we should know, we can smell out own! We love you, hipsters!

Just in this past decade, we’ve seen an accelerated rise in consumer demand for organic food products. But is all the organic-panic truly worth the panic?

So, is the "organic" label worth the extra hefty price associated with your food? And more importantly, is organic food truly more healthy for you?

We will use the expertise of Farmer Mike Wood, a soil maker, farmers maker, and plant scientists to expose the truth concerning organic food production. Furthermore, Brian will present the existing research that surrounds organic food consumption and health. Join Dan, Mike, and Brian as they try to unearth the truth about organic food production and consumption.

Billion dollar ads paid for by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, National Pork Producers Council and American Poultry Association waged war upon our TV sets, altering our national diet and increasing the production and consumption of animal products globally.
