James Barry ([@chefjamesbarry](https://www.instagram.com/chefjamesbarry/)) is the founder of [Pluck](https://eatpluck.com/), an organ-based, all-purpose seasoning. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.

James has spent 16 + years in the culinary field starting as a private chef. He’s been the vegan/vegetarian Chef on the Van’s Warped Tour, traveled to 50 North American cities, started a food delivery company, and cooked for Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack.

Optimal Carnivore was created by Carnivores for Carnivores.

They created a unique organ complex from grass-fed animals in New Zealand. It includes 9 different organs -  Liver, Brain, Heart, Thymus, Kidney, Spleen, Pancreas, Lung etc. 

Taking 6 capsules is the same as eating an ounce of raw organ meat from the butcher.
