Food Theory: Liver King, The RAW Truth! (Carnivore Diet)

Love how whenever Matpat uploads, thousands of people arrive in a second! Just shows how dedicated you guys are! Mad respect! 👊

What’s truly “primal” is the fact that, more than a decade later, MatPat is still using that photo of himself with the eyes. That dedication to stay true to self is the real key to success and happiness

So, actual "ancestral" people would've probably laughed at this guy for not cooking his food lol.

I grew up eating liver and onions as a kid, I didn't realize why till I was an adult. We were so poor that my dad would bring home let over liver from the factor where he worked and since we didn't have much food liver and onions were filling and nutritional And no that wasn't legal and he could've gotten into allot of trouble if he got caught but I appreciate that he did everything he could to keep us (me and my two brothers) full

The sad thing is that there is a group of people (the depressed young men mentioned in the video) who are looking for help but are getting scammed by this dude instead.

I was surprised that MatPat didn't go into the possibilities of mineral overdoses that can come from bone marrow / liver consumption... a bit is healthy, but it's possible to literally poison yourself with iron. "All things in moderation."

Idea for a video: Matpat use science to find the best way to "bulk up" by comparing all the fitness gurus, and then does an IRL reveal where he's more bulky than Liver King.

4:32 i love how he's lifting weights... UNDERWATER trying to make it seem impressive lmao

As someone with a dad who enjoys cooking things like beef liver and pig heart, and I enjoy them myself, finding out that both are full of nutrients is a great revelation!!

Basically, he's eating the right stuff, the wrong way

The worst part about his apology is that he isn’t actually helping young men that much. He isn’t all to different from the people who push potentially harmful female beauty standards.

Literally when this dude showed up he made sense all the way up to when he said raw. Literally the first rule in cooking is make sure that it’s cooked properly. Anyone who pauses to think knows he speaks in half truths

My mother always hated liver and other organs and when she was pregnant with me, her iron levels were so low, she would get dizzy and vomit a lot more than usual. It even got so bad she was throwing almost everyday and had to be rushed to the hospital because she couldn't breathe. The funny thing was the doctors told her that she either had to have iron shots or eat a lot of liver. Needless to say, she chose the latter option. And the funnier thing is that i love fried liver.

I have never heard of this guy, and that opening clip already made me feel skeptical about his ways of achieving good health.

I genuinely laughed when Matpat said “you can tell he’s sincere because he did it from atop his throne”😂

Part of me forgets that MatPat is an actual scientist, with a degree in Neuroscience and mathematics and stuff like that… my man doesn’t get to show that off in his game theory videos anymore, but with food theory he’s like… actually making content around this stuff.

In Korea we have a raw beef dish called 육회 (closest English translation being meat sashimi, with 회 being the korean equivalent of sashimi), and some people eat it pretty regularly, but it’s strictly regulated. the meat needs to be tested for bacteria, kept under a certain temperature, prepared and served under a time limit, and have the outer layer cut off with sterilized tools (using multiple boards because you need to remove the side on the cutting board separately) which is…. Not what this guy (and people on other raw meat diets) seem to be doing lol

I don’t know why but when you said “ I’m not a doctor” I expected a Food Theorists/Doctor Mike collab

as a humongo food nerd that works in the food industry, i freaking love your channel and am having such a good time watching your videos!!

This was really interesting to me! My mom is a huge foodie, she’s willing to try everything. But the one thing she absolutely hates is liver. She was fed to it as a kid by her mom (my grandmother) under the belief that it was healthy for the cholesterol reasons mentioned in this video. My mom will never eat liver again simply for the fact that she just hates the taste of it, but she does believe it was also an unhealthy thing to eat due to the cholesterol thing being disproven. But it is really interesting to learn how it actually is healthy, just not in the ways people in the 60s were marketing it. It’s really fascinating how food science evolves over the decades and how that also influences what is and isn’t a popular dish in modern culture.
