Facts/General Knowledge
- As a teenager, he became a vegetarian, and later, he became a raw-food vegan for about 10 years. According to Daniel,
I discovered veganism in the early days of the Internet, and I was emotionally overwhelmed by its ethics.
- After Daniel read a dentist’s book, he became convinced that animal foods were essential to a healthy human diet. He gave up vegetarianism. However, he was already a speaker at vegetarian events, which later became a problem for him as he would go on stage to speak about problems related to the vegetarian diet. Due to this he was soon thrown out of the vegetarian community.
- After abandoning vegetarianism, he began searching for food and was guided by Arthur Haynes, a botanist who runs the primitive-living-focused Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine. Eventually he started his own ‘Rewild Yourself Podcast’ and began interviewing experts in the field while exploring the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Later, he learned hunting, when he realized he wanted to do it honestly.
