Welcome back to the Hunger Hunt Feast Podcast! In today’s episode, Zane talks with electrical engineer and author Tristan Scott! Tristan is an electrical engineer whose passion for health developed from his struggle to recover from Post Concussive Syndrome and he found that an animal-based diet helped him reduce inflammation, but Tristan has taken his expertise even further. Listen in as Tristan talks about his book "Bitcoin and Beef" which he wrote to address the current problems with the increasing wealth gap and decreasing health stemming from an over-centralized system. In his book, he addresses the fallacies about a negative environmental impact of both the raising of beef and bitcoin mining.
