Jacob Foods Banned?!

What happens when you tell people to eat more fiber and your livelihood disappears overnight? We sit down with Jacob—creator of The Soy Boy Chronicles—to unpack how a fast-growing nutrition page was twice banned under “terrorism,” why appeals hit a wall, and what it reveals about platform power in the creator economy. From AI misfires to coordinated report brigades, we trace the mechanics that can turn reasonable, science-based content into a moderation nightmare and vaporize a small business with a single label.

We also cut through the noise on diet wars. Jacob breaks down why extremes like raw-meat and “animal-based” branding thrive online, even when the fridge is mostly fruit. We challenge the idea that a shredded physique equals expertise, and talk about what actually moves the needle: consistent protein, fiber, fruits, legumes, and sustainable habits. For the curious, Jacob floats a controlled ultra-processed diet experiment—hitting macros, adding a multivitamin and fiber—to show how energy balance drives body composition, while we still champion whole foods for micronutrients, satiety, and long-term health.

This conversation isn’t just about a ban; it’s about building resilient health practices and resilient platforms. Jacob shares how he’s diversifying to YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok, leaning into a more human, empathetic voice, and even exploring offline meetups and community work. He’s made a career out of reaching across divides—listening first, then layering in evidence—and that bridge-building is exactly what the internet needs more of.
