Over-exploitation of Ocean’s Resources
Of the straddling stocks nearly two-thirds of the stocks (64 per cent) are classified as over-exploited, depleted or recovering, 23 per cent are fully exploited, 12 per cent are moderately exploited.
Straddling stocks are stocks of fish which migrate between the economic exclusive zone of one or more regions and the high seas. These are highly migratory fish stocks.
80% per cent of the world’s fish stocks are reported as fully exploited or over-exploited.
Fishing subsidies greatly distort the fisheries market.
Global fisheries subsidies were estimated to be US$35 billion. The total revenue from the industry is US$90 billion.
Harmful subsidies constituted US$20 billion each year consisting of fuel subsidies, management, port and harbour tax relief and equipment modernisation. So US$20 billion each year are subsidising an industry to catch more fish that are over-exploited.

Academy of Achievement Address 2006 by Professor Michael Brown
In 1985, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Michael Brown and Joseph Goldstein "for their discoveries concerning the regulation of cholesterol metabolism." They wrote:
"If the LDL-receptor hypothesis is correct, the human receptor system is designed to function in the presence of an exceedingly low LDL level. The kind of diet necessary to maintain such a level would be markedly different."
"It would call for the total elimination of dairy products as well as eggs, and for a severely limited intake of meat and other sources of saturated fats."
They also state that "such extreme dietary change is not warranted for the entire population" because of the “severe social and economic consequences”.
Perhaps the extreme social and economic consequences of not implementing that diet far outweigh the consequences of continuing to farm and feed ourselves in our habitual manner.
To be fair, this was written in 1984.
More recently, in 2006, Michael Brown's conclusions were different.

What are Fats
The webpage describes how saturated fats and unsaturated fats are named and described.
You may be surprised to learn that the National Academies of Sciences recommend that we consume a vegan diet but deem that it is not practical due to the changes required to our behaviour.

Kidney Disease and Diet
2½ millennia ago, Plato wrote about the foolishness of eating animals. 500 years later Plutach wrote about the immorality of killing and eating animals who are entitled to life as much as we are.
Many people at the Mater Hospital where I am receiving treatment for multiple myeloma are not only dealing with their blood cancers but trauma of kidney, heart disease and type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lots of great information about heart attacks and both forms of diabetes on my website.
The treatment greatly magnifies the severity of their problems.
Kidney disease ranks 9th in the cause of death in Australia.
Despite the nasty nature of my multiple myeloma disease, my kidney and heart functions are really good.
There is a really strong correlation between pork consumption and kidney disease. The method of cooking has a big impact due to the increase in serum creatinine with BBQ pig being the worst.
Then there is the additional problem with the appalling method that we raise pigs in confined cages that are stacked three deep. Pigs cannot move or lie down. Their faeces and urine are deposited onto the pigs below through slatted floor boards. They live in a noxious atmosphere of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.

Validation of a Whole-food, Plant-based Diet
Dr James Muecke is the Australian of the Year in 2020 which was awarded for his work as an eye- surgeon and his work in preventing blindness. He is trying to convince Australians to eat more meat, eggs and dairy. Australia is ranked number 2 in meat consumption, just behind the United States but in front of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and New Zealand.
Muecke states that we should be eating more eggs, cheese, meat and dark chocolate to minimise diabetes, its associated blindness (diabetic retinopathy) and diabetic neuropathy.
Muecke has declared that we need to “Declare war on type 2 diabetes and cut back on sugar” in order to reduce the incidence of blindness.
He believes that it is the introduction of sugary drinks and highly processed foods are the cause of diabetes – not a high-fat, high-protein diet as shown by numerous papers dating back to 1927.
Dr Muecke was interviewed by Keith Wheeler for a FarmOnline National article. Wheeler summed up his article with, “Dr Muecke faces a challenge to defeat type 2 diabetes, but if people eat more meat and dairy it would be a good start. And dark chocolate. That’s the sort of report I like!”
Muecke refers to a 2019 article in the Annals of Internal Medicine, Unprocessed Red Meat and Processed Meat Consumption: Dietary Guideline Recommendations From the Nutritional Recommendations (NutriRECS) Consortium to support his beliefs.
Walter Willett, the Harvard professor of epidemiology and nutrition, called the study “the most egregious abuse of data I’ve ever seen.”
The publications produced by the NutriRECS organisation are concerned with proving that red meat consumption is healthy – or at least not detrimental.
In a 30 minute address to the National Press Club on 8th February 2021, Dr Muecke said the Australian Dietary Guidelines were flawed, biased at critical multiple levels, conflicted by industry funding and borne out of weak and unreliable epidemiological data that was “certainly not as robust as we have been led to believe”.
Muecke states that “There now being over 100 controlled clinical trials to support the fact that a very low calorie diet or low carbohydrate diet works to either prevent Type 2 diabetes or to put it into remission.”.
There are no references given to these 100 controlled clinical trials.

Summary of Dr James Muecke Australian of the Year 2020
There has been 7 articles in the Newcastle Herald during December 2021 and January 2022 relating to Dr James Muecke and Dr Peter Bruckner, a sport’s medical clinician, on how to prevent and cure diabetes with an animal-based diet that is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Muecke and Bruckner both state that we should be eating more eggs, cheese, meat and dark chocolate to minimise diabetes, its associated blindness (diabetic retinopathy) and diabetic neuropathy.
One of these articles was an editorial “The pandemic should be all the impetus we need to properly address diabetes, the other silent assassin in our midst” urging people to address diabetes by adopting Dr Muecke and Dr Bruckner’s recommended diets.
Their recommendations are killing people.

DFN – Food Vitals Webinar on 26 July 2021
One thing that psychology has taught us is that people do not make choices based on logic and evidence but feelings and emotions. Any basic marketing course teaches us to “sell the sizzle, not the sausage”.
Michael Greger has an incredible video about his grandmother Francis and John Robbins tells a deeply moving story about “The Pig Farmer”. Links to both are on my website. This is what changes people behaviour – not another journal reference or graph. I still cannot get through either without crying.
I have several testimonials from people who have transformed their lives – despite opposition from the medical profession.
On the 4th July 2019, the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) published this news item as its top news story.
World Health Organisation’s recommendations on saturated fat are out of date, expert team says.
This article was based on an article, WHO draft guidelines on dietary saturated and trans fatty acids: time for a new approach? It was published in THE BMJ the previous day, written by Arne Astrup and 17 colleagues. These popular commentators are very well organised.
At the end of Astrup’s article, the evidence for including eggs, chocolate, cheese, and meat is listed, which matches the needs of their corporate sponsors.
No amount of bar graphs or references will compete with a picture of a delicious burger, complete with eggs and chips.
Dr Shireen Kassam is a Consultant Haematologist and Honorary Senior Lecturer at King’s College Hospital, London with a specialist interest in the treatment of patients with lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system). She is also passionate about promoting plant-based nutrition for the prevention and reversal of chronic diseases and for maintaining optimal health after treatment for cancer.
When Shireen introduced herself at the beginning of her Food Vitals Webinar on 26th July 2021, she stated that she and her husband were vegan for over 7 years (which makes it about about 2014). At the end of her talk, she stated that her haematologist husband did not embrace her vegan lifestyle until after COVID-19 in March 2020 – some 4 years later, when his BMI was 30.2, weight was 87 kg, cholesterol 6.5 mmol/L and blood pressure 145/88.
If it takes a specialist medical doctor 4 years to embrace his wife’s lifestyle with all the evidence that she can present, then it does not bode very well for the rest of the population.
