Hi all,
For a long time now, I've had this idea that the Beatles were unconsciously obeying large parts of Ray Peat's dietary and lifestyle philosophy which may in fact have had a significant influence on their century-defining creative output.
For example, when we consider their magnum opus Sgt Pepper, we find the Beatles mainly drinking whole milk, concentrated orange juice, taking Peat-friendly LSD, drinking black tea with milk and sugar, eating refined (almost-sugar) starches like Corn Flakes, toast, baked beans, etc. For all the skin-aging damage that smoking cigarettes might have done, none of them have ever gone bald. Though Paul did go grey in his forties following a naïve vegetarian diet.
Do you think that the Beatles, and indeed, 1960s people in general, were more creatively productive than 21st century moderns due to their unconsciously-Peatarian diet and lifestyle?
