Thank you, Jman. I think that fellow makes a great deal of good sense.
Then I read the comments and see criticisms from people who...what, would
rather be drinking an "energy drink"; I don't know. So I wrote from the heart at the video just now,
@Island728 , because it's a SMALL MEAL, dude. He knows what he's talking about.
It's a calorie-dense and nutrient dense SMALL meal you eat on the ride, as needed to stoke the animal machinery.
NOTE that cows do very little athletic work, and can live on grass. LIONS need meat. Horses can graze between runs.
WOLVES need meat and fat, like vigorous people do, too.

It is much more difficult for the animal to make red meat from green, than red meat from red,
and it is much better, too, to obtain white matter, fat, from fat, than to make it from greens.
Cows eat nothing but lean, have complex digestion processes, and turn fat-less greens into fatty red meat.
Isn't it interesting, that presto-change-o act of cows? They are health food animals who make us salivate to eat them.
Likewise, we generally do not turn up our snouts at pigs.
Cows are necessarily stupid,
for they cannot afford to think fast, not on their fare and not for fast moves. Lions gulp cows,
whereas cows must ruminate slowly on vegetable cuds and try not to worry about the food chain snapping back on them.
It is interesting to note that the pig never worries whether he/she will be digestible in the athlete on the run or ride. The pig
eats and snorts in delight and takes a nap and dreams not of you.
Frank was perfect, teaching hundreds of millions of people to live their lives in bold, in defiance of doubt.
