In this monologue, the speaker warns that any menu item labeled 'fried' should not be considered real food due to its harmful health effects. He explains that frying creates advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that trigger prolonged inflammation—lasting at least 48 hours—far longer than the 4‑8 hour inflammation caused by smoking a cigarette. The speaker argues that this chronic inflammation impairs brain function over time and urges listeners to skip fried foods entirely, even suggesting that smoking a cigarette is a lesser evil. He also promotes a book titled Superhuman, claiming it contains extensive research on the topic, though he admits reading it won’t magically change one’s life.

Chapters

When you order your dinner tonight, if it says fried on the menu, it's not food. And when you read Superhuman. And yes, I'm telling you straight up, buy the book. It won't change my life if you do. I wrote this thing with thousands of hours to change your life. But if you read that I talk about advanced glycation, end products and these other things that are forming. Fry your food. It's a simple thing to do. But if you want your brain to work for a long period of time, this will cause inflammation for days, at least 48 hours. Smoking a cigarette is going to give you four to eight hours of inflammation. So seriously, skip the fries and smoke a cigarette. You'll be better off.
