★★★★ · MEAT! · PhotoElectricMan · 2008-03-09

This film makes reference to an experiment in the 30s where a guy ate nothing but meat for a year. The results "astonished" researchers and doctors. They never say exactly why they were astonished, but the insinuation is that it was a good idea to eat MEAT ALL THE TIME. There are some skips in the audio, which is annoying, but you can still get the complete meat story. So far, this is the best story of meat I have seen.
