In this brief YouTube discussion, Speaker A emphasizes the historical and nutritional significance of organ meats, especially liver, for women, children, and postpartum recovery. Drawing from personal experience, they describe how liver helped restore their health after childbirth and served as the first solid food for both their son and daughter. The conversation highlights a nose‑to‑tail eating philosophy, noting the versatility of cooking liver in many ways and proclaiming it as the most nutrient‑dense food on the planet. Speaker B interjects with a light remark about an upcoming product called “cinnamon brain,” which serves as a humorous aside rather than a substantive point.

Organ meats, historically, they were always saved for women and children. So there was a knowing that the organs had specific nutrients that we need for the childbearing continuum. I have found that to be so true in my own lived experience. I have eaten so many organs, never had brain because we can't get it here. I have brain.
That's a product we're going to be coming out with, cinnamon brain.
Perfect. Can't wait. I love organ meats. Liver postpartum, absolutely absolutely brought the life back into me. It was this food that I started my son on as a first food, my daughter as well. It really is a part of our whole food ethos. Like, we truly eat nose to tail. We truly cook liver in all the ways that you could think of. It was something that I learned to love because I knew it was good for me. It's the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, meaning gram per gram, it has the most wide range of nutrition.
