Food of Champions: Slop of Losers (July 30, 2026)
Summary
Host Ryan Gable critiques modern health narratives by contrasting the plant-based diets of historical warriors like samurai and Roman legionaries with today’s processed food culture. He debunks viral conspiracy theories about fake food in Japan, explaining that plastic samples are merely displays.
