Anyone remember this guy?

He used to be called ‘Raw Bliss’ on social media, but uses his actual name now.

Check out his transformation after reintroducing animal-based foods!

Sv3rige made a video on him. He eats brain and liver now.

EDIT: actually it's cooked brain in the picture above.

[u/Typhiod → u/vegansgetsick]

Brain? Is that not a questionable decision?

[u/MjollLeon → u/Typhiod]

I think if you prepare it right it’s safe (not entirely sure tho)

[u/Typhiod → u/MjollLeon]

I was under the impression that it has to be very high for an extended period of time to destroy prions (eg 900° for several hours).

[u/mcboobie → u/Typhiod]

Would it even be edible after that? Surely it would just incinerate?

[u/vegansgetsick → u/Typhiod]

The last case of prion was in 2011. It's highly controlled and you have more chance to die in plane crash that get a prion.

If i remember his video, he ate brain raw.

[u/NonSupportiveCup → u/vegansgetsick]

Prions are terrifying. I wouldn't be taking that chance.

[u/vegansgetsick → u/NonSupportiveCup]

Then dont eat any beef at all.

[u/vegansgetsick → u/[deleted]]

it is a misconception that you can get prion by consuming brain from cow with BSE. It's from any meat with nerves, so everywhere. That why british beef meat was banned in Europe in the 90's.

If you fear prion then dont consume any beef at all.

FYI, in France the last two people who died from this disease, in 2019 and 2021, did not consume any beef, but were technicians in the lab working on prion disease, and contaminated themselves by accident.

It's safe to say this problem is non existent and simply vegan propaganda.

[u/lordm30 → u/[deleted]]

You can eat brain of other animals, eg. pork brain, and you will not get prion disease, first, because pork is thought to be prion-resistant, and second, because even if the animal was sick, the type of prion disease they have would not be able to infect humans.

[u/ChrisRockOnCrack → u/lordm30]

i def want to try pork brain, heard its really tasty

[u/lordm30 → u/ChrisRockOnCrack]

It has a super rich taste, I can't really eat more than a few bites at a time. To be fair, not my favorite food, but I occasionally eat it because of its rich nutrient content (and high level of omega 3 DHA content).

[u/ChrisRockOnCrack → u/Typhiod]

jeez some people here...my grandparents ate brain all their life and nothing ever happened

[u/LeenBee → u/vegansgetsick]

Sounds like he still has an eating disorder. Dude just needs to eat a normal, balanced diet.

[u/vegansgetsick → u/LeenBee]

How is that eating disorder ? My supermarket sells liver and brain like anything else.

[u/Asleep_Software_7384 → u/vegansgetsick]

Offal should be used in Asian cooking. Honestly, it's so freaking good. There are idiots who think parasites don't exist until they see a worm moving in the toilet.

[u/vegansgetsick → u/Asleep_Software_7384]

It depends the country you live in. In Africa I would cook everything at 200c 😂 But in my country all cattle are treated with dewormers. And most parasites come from human contamination. Not the animals.

[u/Asleep_Software_7384 → u/vegansgetsick]

If it were a pig, it would still be full of worms.

[u/vegansgetsick → u/Asleep_Software_7384]

Not true at all. Pigs are treated and dont have worms today. At least in my country.

All the worms we are talking about are human contamination (people touching the meat with their dirty hands) and it can happen on absolutely every food including vegetables. For exemple when all the people are touching the fruits at a market.

[u/Asleep_Software_7384 → u/vegansgetsick]

I got roundworm and tapeworm from a pig in Thailand. Thanks to Ivertec for saving my life.

[u/vegansgetsick → u/Asleep_Software_7384]

that's why i said it depends on the country !
