    There is literally no need to eat meat. There isn’t some magical balance, the research on healthy longevity makes it pretty clear that more plants is good and less meat is good, as overall rules.

    The “carnivore” fans aren’t relying on research, they’re reading tangential papers like reading tea leaves to divinate the truth. It’s a closer to alchemy and witchcraft, but they call it “biohacking”.

      Yes yes I get you have your ideology but if were speaking straight facts you’re just wrong. The exact same argument could be made about there being no need to eat vegetables or fruit; carnivore diet isn’t healthy, but it won’t literally kill you. To be clear I’m not making that argument personally though, vegan diet is less unhealthy than carnivore diet obviously.

      Too much red meat can be bad for you, but that is not the ame statement as any at all is bad for you. People eat way too large of a ratio of it compared to veggies and fruits which exacerbates that.

      The simple fact is that we’re omnivorous and that’s the healthiest diet. But i also know you’ve heard this countless times and will just hit back with “but I don’t eat meat and I’m healthy!!!” So I’ll just stop there and save us both the trouble.
