Ines Prodöhl's Globalizing the Soybean: Fat, Feed, and Sometimes Food, c. 1900-1950 (Routledge, 2023) is a history of how, why, and where the soybean became a critical ingredient in industry and agriculture in the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on Japanese-dominated Manchuria, Germany, and the United States, Prodöhl shows that the soybean was a serendipitous solution to numerous and varied crises from the beginning of the century into the post-WWII decades. This story of imperialism, globalization, and technology begins in northeast China, the world's soy cultivation center until the 1940s. It takes us to Germany, the number one importer of soybeans in the interwar period, and illuminates the various ways in which soy was integrated into the economy especially after the end of WWI as both an invaluable oilseed for industry and a source of protein-rich fodder for agriculture. Finally, Prodöhl explores how the United States first adopted the soybean mostly as a solution to overtaxed soils. Mixing economic, ecological, political, and technological/scientific history with a keen sense of the materiality of soy as a global product, Globalizing the Soybean is an accessible and enlightening book that will appeal to multiple audiences. This book is available open access here. This episode was recorded in person in the studios of Media City Bergen with technical assistance from Frode Ims. Nathan Hopson is an associate professor of Japanese language and history in the University of Bergen's Department of Foreign Languages. Learn more about your ad choices.

Preparing to enter the 2021 Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle (BFFM) summer challenge
In depth review of BFFM as well as my experience with it
3 Day Classic Muscle is an advanced weight training program designed to build muscle with shape, symmetry and aesthetics. The program is ideal for recreational bodybuilders, competitive bodybuilders, physique enthusiasts, figure or fitness athletes and anyone else who wants more muscle. Join me as I speak with friend and mentor, Tom Venuto about the 3 Day Classic Muscle bodybuilding program! About Tom Venuto: Tom Venuto is lifetime natural bodybuilding and fitness author. He's written two books on fat loss and body transformation, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle and The Body Fat Solution along with writing hundreds of articles and maintaining a fat loss blog. Tom is the CEO of the best fat loss support community, the Burn the Fat Inner Circle. Tom is also the creator of the 3 Day Classic Muscle program. He's also a personal friend and I've had the pleasure of learning from somebody who loves bodybuilding more than I do. Introduction to 3 Day Classic Muscle in This Podcast Interview: What is 3-Day Classic Muscle? What does the "3-Days" mean? How long do you follow the program? Why is it called classic? What equipment is required? How many days per week should you train? How are the body parts divided on the 3-Day Classic Muscle split? Can you change how you group the muscles together in the 3-day split? How does the 3 on 1 off schedule work? (rotating schedule) What if you want the same training days and off days every week? (fixed schedule) What do you do after you finish the first 28 day block? Is it OK to substitute different exercises? How long should the workouts last? What’s in Phase 2 and Phase 3? Nutrition specific to the 3 Day Classic Muscle.. Better on a bulk or cut or fits any goal? Cardio Specific to the 3 Day Classic Muscle plan How ridged are the Phases? Reader Questions: What advice can you give to older lifters? 50+? Every program I read is addressed to people in their 20s or 30s. What should we do? Any hope for us older folks? What can you do if you have a specific body part, for example arms, that just doesn't seem to respond the way the rest of your body is responding as far as growth? How do you diet down to that 8-10% range without crashing your libido?
Muscle wasting in intensive care is the thief of future health. Hugh Montgomery shows us what a big issue this is and what can be done to mitigate the problem.
We met Tom Venuto way back in Podcast 41 before he left for the epic adventure of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. Now we will talk to him about what happened, what he learned, how he lifted weights during his hike (yes you read that right), and much more. Tom has been a long time online friend and it was awesome to hear about this incredible journey that most of us could only dream of doing. You can find Tom online at burnthefatinnercircle.com, read his book, Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle, and on Instagram @meatheadhikes and on outsideways.com also under @meatheadhikes or Pacific Crest Trail. What happens when you hike from Mexico to Canada? Well, plug in your earphones and find out! Thank you for listening and please rate and share the podcast from wherever you listen!
Get Paid For Walking with Step Bet Step Bet is the sister to Diet Bet. With Step Bet you put in some money, and it reads the data from your fitness Tracker (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch) and assigns you a goal. You have active days (a smaller goal) and a stretch goal. For me, my goals are 9922 steps for active days and 12, 222 for a stretch days. (Your goals will be different based on your previous days). In a week you have four active days, and two stretch days and one off day. Do that for six weeks and you get a portion of the pot. My current pot has 600 people with a pot of 24,000. If 75% of people fail that means 18,000 will be divided between 150 people with a net of $120 (minus a cut for step bet). If money motivates you this scenario would bring a 300% return on investment (as I put in $40). The key (for me) is getting up a litter earlier, and at night getting my steps in before doing any other activities (or by watching TV while on a treadmill). The real challenge here is the six weeks of consistency. Its available on iOs and Andorid (see www.stepbet.com ) Understanding Affirmations I was reading the book Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle and it had one of the best descriptions of why and how they work. In the book Tony states: All day long you carry on a mental conversation with yourself. Psychologists estimate that we think up to 60,000 thoughts a day and that 98 percent of these thoughts are the same ones we had yesterday—most of them negative. In a year, that’s almost 22 million thoughts! The basis for positive thinking and philosophies such as the law of attraction is that the subconscious is amenable to suggestion. People who say that positive thoughts and affirmations don’t work aren’t using them effectively or consistently, or they’re wishing for the positive while thinking about the negative. This is me. I would try them for maybe three days. Mixed messages If a captain gives an order such as “Go east,” then keeps changing his mind—“No, go west … no, go north”—the ship would never get anywhere! This is also why most people get nowhere with their fitness, weight loss, or muscle-building endeavors. Ironically, the very statement “Positive thinking doesn’t work” is a negative suggestion guaranteeing that it won’t work! Again, this is 100% me. The conscious mind is a lot like the captain on the bridge of a ship. The captain sends a command to the engine room. The subconscious mind is like the people down in the engine room. No matter what orders come down from the bridge (conscious mind), the crew obeys, even if the orders are stupid ones that crash the ship into a rocky shore. The reason this happens is that the crew (the subconscious) can’t see where the ship is going; they are simply following orders. Like the ship’s crew, your subconscious mind carries out every command it accepts from your conscious mind. Its sole purpose is to obey your orders, even if you give ones like “I’ll always be fat.” Frequent repetition of thoughts (mental orders) is one certain way to penetrate the subconscious mind. By constantly repeating negative commands such as “I can’t lose weight,” your subconscious will see to it that you never lose weight because that’s its job: to follow your every command literally and without question. If you program your mind with negative suggestions often enough, it will lead you right into cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, or some other form of self-sabotage. Without a target, your subconscious simply steers you toward your dominant thoughts. The subconscious mind is always at work 24 hours a day, whether you direct it consciously or not. Because of how your subconscious operates, it’s crucial to focus on what you want to achieve, not on what you want to avoid. He mentions in the book that much like weight lifting you need to give affirmations 25-30 days to sink in. I've never been able to completely buy into Affirmations. To “affirm” something, by dictionary definition, means that you are declaring it to be true. When you say an affirmation over and over again, a couple of things happen. Your sub-conscience gets busy noticing ways to help you achieve your goals. Because your brain is constantly looking for clues to filter your environment and guide your actions, it will pick up on any available influence. This could mean all the subconscious fears and doubts you haven’t dealt with or even messages in your environment. The reason you need to repeat them is To run efficiently, your brain strengthens its connections every time you think, feel and do. This helps you perform tasks with less energy and more focus. Think about driving a car or riding a bike. It can be awkward at first when you're learning, but after you figure it out, it comes naturally. The Tension of Repeating a "Lie" May Be the Key One article stated, "If you feel uncomfortable about lying to yourself, you’ll want to fix it. You’ll either change the affirmation to make it comfortable, or you’ll change your lifestyle and habits to make the affirmation true.The latter action is the response that will completely transform your life for the better!" While another article suggested adding reality to your affirmations such as: I am frustrated by my eating habits, but I am learning to treat myself with the respect I deserve. I am learning to do better. I am sad about the fact that I’m still single, but I am learning how to relate with men in a more open, brave, and vulnerable way. I am learning to do better. I am scared about handling this big, new project, but I am learning to have confidence in my ability to achieve my goals. I am learning to do better. These statements aren’t “empty self-praise” or temporary “mood-boosters.” They’re honest, self-respecting assessments about where we’re at, what we’re learning, and what we’re capable of becoming. They are affirmations of truth—and the truth will set you free. One Article on Psychology Today in 2017 stated, "the process of self-affirmation changes the way we think about our tasks or goals, so that we think about our tasks in more abstract/value-related ways, as opposed to concrete, lower-level actions." How Do You Write an Affirmation? One study found that if you have really low self-esteem, doing positive self-esteem can actually BOOST your negative self-esteem as you argue with yourself. FULL ARTICLE Some people suggest a more honest affirmation. ThinkUp Affirmation App I found this app ThinkUp: Positive Affirmations & Motivation Daily - Precise Wellness LLC that is super helpful, easy to navigate and guides you through creating your own affirmations. You record them in your own voice, and then pick the background music, and more. You can test it for free, and then either rent the app for $3/month or buy a lifetime license for $24. I've used other affirmation apps, and this one is the easiest to use, and just seems more thought out and professional. You have access to affirmations from experts (for those who don't want to make up their own), and I just liked using the app. I can see me using this on a daily basis.

So after reading the book Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto, I got re-inspired to really try weight lifting. I HATE WEIGHT LIFTING due to the soreness that always follows. So what changed my mind? I shut up and did. I got up at six AM and went to the gym. The next day, as expected my muscles were sore, but I only notice when I move. So going from standing to sitting, sitting to standing, etc. Most of the time, I might notice a little plumpness, but in reality, on a scale from one to ten, it's about a three. Most of the day I don't notice it. I need to buckle up, suck it up and just do it. Physically inactive people can lose as much as 3% to 5% of their muscle mass each decade after age 30. Even if you are active, you’ll still have some muscle loss. I'm now 52, which means I may have lost ou tp 10% of my muscle. This loss of muscle even has a name, "Sarcopenia." Sarcopenia typically happens faster around age 75. But it may also speed up as early as 65 or as late as 80 In the same way that almost every book I read says to eat a good healthy breakfast, they all say changing your body requires weight lifting (either via weights or body weight exercises). How I'm Able To Tolerate Exercises I Hate. 1. I Made it a Game I've got an app, and I'm going to use it to make weight lifting a game to see how I can compete against old workouts to see if I can make it better. When I go to the gym I've adopted an attitude mentioned in the book and that is "I don't want to go to maintain; I go to the gym to improve. And if I want to improve, then today I must aim to beat my previous workouts and do something I've never done before." Now do be silly and over do it, but realizing there should be progress in the future it the mindset I have. 2. Made it Easy I found an app to track and customize my downloads. While you don't need this, I wanted the documentation to track my progress (more on this in a minute) 3. Ensured Success The first time I attempted to get up at Six AM I failed. I reached out an turned the alarm clock next to my bed off and went back to bed. On Wednesday in addition to the alarm clock, I set my phone as an alarm and put it in a place where I would hear it, but have to get out of bed to turn it off. 4. I Lie To Myself Lifting weights for the rest of my life is depressing (although who knows as a month I might like this). So my goal is to get to 190 by February 8th 2018 (my 52nd birthday). It is an aggressive goal, but I'm committed. By telling myself, "It's only until February" I can stomach the pain as I know it's not forever. 5. I Give Myself Pop Talks I mentioned a few episodes about using non-flattering pictures as motivation, I've also made posters with my goal weight, my goal date, and a slogan like "YOU GOT THIS" and I've put it in my kitchen, my bathroom, and other places I see on a regular basis. I've also found a cool affirmation app (more on that later). 6. I've Got Some Skin in the Game I spent some money on some new tools (Skulpt Chisel, and some apps) so I need to get my money's worth. Skulpt Chisel Review I came across the Skulpt Chisel on YouTube. I saw very chiseled men singing it's praises. What is it? It's a device that looks like a plastic wallet. You spray some water on some sensors and push it against your body in different locations to get insights into your body composition (how much fat, and how much muscle). It syncs with your phone (works on both iOs and Android) and gives you an overall reading on your body composition as well as each body party. It's not shocking as a man in his 50's with a body that looks like a man in his 50's my worst area is my belly (abs only 29.9% muscle). The Skult Chisel is $99 so I bought it knowing I really wanted to track all of my changes (and I love gadgets) A Very Rough Start Anytime I buy anything electronic, I expect it to need to update the minute I get it out of the box. After all, how long has it been sitting on a shelf somewhere? What the PDF didn't tell me is that for me to connect to the skulpt, I needed to go into my Bluetooth settings of my phone and disconnect all other Bluetooth devices. I sat trying and trying to connect my phone and it just wouldn't. I would find it, the device would turn green, and it would prompt me to press a button and that would then lock it up. Thank God for Google. I was able to find a Facebook group with some clues. I turned off all Bluetooth devices, and I put it on the charger to be able to update the unit. This took me an hour to figure out. I was really surprised that while everyone and their brother is reviewing the Skulpt Chisel, there are very few videos (and zero from the company) on how to use it. They give you a squirt bottle and a pdf. I had no idea how much to squirt on the sensors before pressing it against my body. It turns out you only need a squirt or two. So the learning curve was pretty bad, but once I get it all setup and syncing, everything works fine. You can do a full scan (where you measure many parts of your body) or a quick scan (which scans around four parts of your body). I did get some help with Skulpt on Facebook, who pointed me at their help desk I'm still not sure how I missed their support area, but I did. Skulpt Chisel Fairly Easy to Use Once I go through the initial setup and update, the Skulpt Chisel is pretty easy to use. You don't have to spray that much water on the sensors. You might occasionally have to reposition the unit to get a good reading, but so far I'm happy with it. While my Withings (now owned by Nokia) scale lets me know my body fat percentage (29.3) the Skulp Chisel said I was at 31% and let me see where the problem areas were. The Analysis Needs Work I liked that it lets me know I need to work my shoulders and even gives me names of exercises I could do to build those muscles. Then when I click on the name of the exercise it leads me to a page that apparently had a video at one point, but it was removed. So it's helpful, ( I can search the exercise and find a video) but it just left me thinking that they are understaffed. Some Features Not Available Some videos I saw on YouTube mentioned it would give nutrition advice. That does not exist at this point and time. Overall Summary About Skulpt Chisel Yes the setup procedure was a nightmare and they need to update their PDF, but once it's going (and since you read this article you shouldn't have as bad an experience) I like it, and I believe the graphics it generates will help motivate me to keep going. More Information Available Here Workout Tracking Made Easy With the Stacked App. I've tried a few apps in the past and they seemed geared toward the bodybuilder with uber options or made shaping a list of exercises into a workout confusing (pumping weight app). The Stacked App is for iOs only at this point, and I love the fact that I was able to log in, click around and figure out how to add an exercise that wasn't listed (even though their list is impressive) turn those exercises into workouts. Then as I was actually doing the workout it was super easy to enter the weight and reps (and add exercises on the fly if needed). You can try it for free, but it's only $4.99 Key Points: Create your own workout routines, or choose from one of our pre-made workouts for both men and women Pay once, and you’ll get lifetime access to everything Stacked has to offer, as well as free upgrades as it improves You’re going to love how elegant, simple, and uncluttered Stacked is, both visually and functionally. All your information is automatically and securely stored on their servers, so you never lose it There are no ads in the app. Ads are ugly, intrusive, and annoying, and you won’t find any in Stacked, whether you upgrade or not.
