In this fascinating and unconventional episode of Rational Grounds Podcast, we welcome the enigmatic American content creator behind the viral sensation, Raw Chicken Experiment. Known for pushing the boundaries of nutritional science and societal norms, our guest shares their journey of experimenting with raw chicken consumption and the insights they’ve gained into diet, health, and internet culture.
From the inception of the Raw Chicken Experiment to their meteoric rise on social media platforms, this episode unpacks the bold steps taken to challenge food taboos and explore human adaptability. We discuss the viral power of meme culture, the underlying science (or lack thereof) behind raw diets, and the motivations driving this audacious project.
The conversation takes a deeper dive into their transition from a plant-based lifestyle to an animal-based diet, revealing unexpected health transformations and the polarising reactions from their online community.
