#8 : Plant vs Meat
On Episode 8 of the Musashi R&D Sessions Podcast, Ross and Dhiren discuss the differences between several contrasting diets in this week’s topic – Plant vs Meat. The guys chew over the best plant-based sources of protein, the impact of deficiencies resulting from different diets, and performing in sports as a vegetarian. R&D also debate the ethics of meat and plant-based diets, the trade-off between protein and fibre, and the best sources of meat based on your goals. As the sporting world begins to restart, the guys address Sharks’ Bronson Xerri testing positive, Mike Tyson preparing to name his comeback opponent, and the return dates of the Premier League and the NBA. This episode we finish with a pair of listener questions on running vs walking, and eating after intense exercise. R&D manage to guess the origin of a famous athlete quote pitched by Hal the Intern, and Dhiren applies the philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi to the topic using the quote: “A man cannot understand the art he is studying if he only looks for the end result without taking the time to delve deeply into the reasoning of the study.” Remember to comment and leave a review and we’ll get in touch to send you a free Musashi T-shirt!
