Listener Emails: Human Foie Gras & Orca Teamwork
At 1:04:00 · chapter starts 1:01:20
Henry reads a standout listener email responding to last week's human foie gras thought experiment. The listener cites NIH research: regular human liver steatosis sits at 5% fat, but Grade 3 severe steatosis exceeds 67% — higher than traditional goose foie gras. So medically, a morbidly obese human liver could match foie gras fat ratios. However, human livers harbor parasitic flukes like Clonorchis sinensis and carry prion risk, making consumption both medically and morally disqualifying. The listener signs off with a note to the FBI agent inevitably reading this email. Eddie then shares his in-flight orca documentary highlight: a pod of orcas, unable to wave-wash a seal off a large iceberg, collectively headbutted the iceberg until it fractured. They then ate the seal. Henry finds this deeply impressive.
A listener cited NIH data showing that human livers in severe steatosis can reach 67% fat content — higher than goose foie gras. So yes, it's medically possible for a human liver to become foie gras. No, you shouldn't eat it — parasites, prions, and cannibalism.
According to an NIH-cited medical article, grade 3 severe steatosis in humans means the liver's fat content can reach 67% or more — higher than the fat ratio in traditional goose foie gras.
Eddie watched an orca documentary where a pod of orcas, unable to knock a seal off a large iceberg using waves, collectively headbutted the iceberg until it broke apart so they could eat the seal.
Only two JK Ultra shows remain on the tour — Tulsa on July 17th and Oklahoma City on July 18th, with the final show available as a live stream for two weeks afterward.
