Let’s talk about meat—what it means for health, how it’s talked about in dietary guidelines, and why there’s so much debate about its role on the plate.
In this lively session, two respected voices will share very different perspectives on animal protein:
•    Dr. Anthony Chaffee, a U.S.-trained medical doctor currently practicing in Australia, who has spent more than two decades researching optimal human nutrition. Dr. Chaffee advocates for a species-specific diet centered on animal products, asserting that many modern chronic diseases are the result of what people eat—or don’t eat—and can be reversed through radical dietary change. He offers a provocative critique of mainstream nutrition science through the lens of evolutionary biology and clinical experience.
•    Dr. Dustin Moore, a public health expert and researcher whose work focuses on evidence-based nutrition, chronic disease prevention, and improving how we communicate science in today’s complex information landscape. With a PhD in Public Health from UC Irvine and over a decade of experience advancing nutrition education, Dr. Moore brings a balanced, prevention-oriented perspective grounded in both academia and public health practice.
Before the discussion begins, we’ll kick things off with a quick look at current consumer trends around meat and nutrition—what people are buying, eating, and asking for—presented by Melissa Rodriguez from Circana.
This session is about bringing everyone to the table—science, experience, and curiosity welcome. Join us for a respectful, thought-provoking conversation.
