Reaction to Mayo Clinic Hit Piece

Honestly I'm pretty glad that the carnivore diet made the Mayo Clinic's site because it means that enough people are doing it that it's gaining traction, that's good because it means that people care enough about their health to make better choices like a whole foods animal based diet. I'm sick of agencies like the American Academy of Dietetics having the final say on diets seeing as how big corporations like cereal giants, soda pop companies are literally in their pockets. Their BIGGEST donor is literally Coca Cola.

Look, many people probably think I'm on the carnivore diet, I'm not actually, I switch between keto and ketovore (keto being more veggies and ketovore being almost carnivorish) but I've seen so many people have improvement it's insane.

Kelly Hogan been zero carb for 14 years and she's thriving.

But thanks Mayo Clinic, you gave Mikhaila some really good talking points to debunk there AND made it more known than it was before lol, cheers!

And see, that's the thing. People tell me that I'm a monster for not going vegan or vegetarian, but from everything I've researched, meat alternatives all have one thing in common. Carbs.

@LordShadowfire i think neither is wrong.
Some people thrive on veganlvegetarian, some don't.
Same with carnivore.
For those of us trying different things, and finding what works for us, its very easy to assume it'll work for everyone....and be best for them.

I mean, i wish being vegetarian was best for me - but it isnt. I tried for years, barely eating meat.
Ive since discovered that it was all rhe carbs doing me damage 🤷

I swear meat and good fats have improved my health a great deal. And i definitely include my mental health in that.

@OogieBoogie Exactly. Anybody who lectures somebody else for their dietary habits, unless it's clear that those habits are unhealthy for that specific person, needs to just stop.

@LordShadowfire Yeah I get routinely called a corpse eater by them but that makes me laugh lol so it's okay.

@SatanBurger Someone actually approached me and said something along the lines of, "You wouldn't eat a person, so why eat a cow?" I asked her why she assumed I wouldn't eat a person.

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@LordShadowfire My answer would be that species aren't meant to eat their own, not even obligate carnivores. We have prions for a reason. Most prions are just random, with very few cases being from meat but species aren't meant to eat their own species for survival reasons. So no I wouldn't eat a human, I'm sure humans taste good as cannibals say but animals, regardless of biology, aren't supposed to.

But it is funny what you said to them, I could only imagine the look they gave you lol

@SatanBurger As I recall, she sort of shut up and vanished, rather quickly.
