2024-07-01 14:12:43 +0000 UTCThanks for reacting guys! Two follow-up notes. First: Question you asked about college football players and their food plans. Yes, the universities pay for the food for the football players. The staffs employ dieticians and food scientists all year for the players. In the past ten years or so football players at the college and even high school levels have been eating more and more high-carb, high-protein plant-based diets. Players experience dramatic increases in muscle-building and endurance by foregoing steak and potatoes for more easily metabolized food filled with black beans and peanut butter (funny to watch present day 300-pound linemen eating giant black-bean burritos for meals and wolfing down peanut butter and jam sandwiches in the locker rooms at halftime). Second: Not covered in video, but for decades football coaches would deny players water during practice, believing it would 'toughen them up.' This was widely practiced from the 1950s - 1970s (there are a couple of football movies you will likely react to in the future that shows this practice). The origin of this practice was that most of the football coaches were World War II veterans, who were denied water during training marches and workouts. The Army's purpose for this practice was to see how far they could push an army unit in a water deprived environment like a desert or island with no available fresh water. The coaches misunderstood this - from their own war time experiences they believed it was a way to 'man-up' a warrior, and transferred this practice to their football teams for decades until the University of Florida invented 'Gatorade' for their team, which resulted in a much higher performance from their properly hydrated players.
