Eight things we can learn from the carnivore movement.

A few years ago, I wrote a post describing all the things that avowed primal eaters can

learn from plant-based or even vegan dieters.

Sure, we're diametrically opposed on the role of animal foods in human health,

but there are still relevant takeaways. Carnivores are much closer to primal eaters on the

dietary spectrum. The primal blueprint posits that animal foods, meat, fish, fowl, shellfish,

eggs, and dairy, represent the most nutrient-dense,

most crucial component of the human diet. Carnivore takes that and runs with it to its logical

conclusion. Animal foods are so nutrient-dense and so important that we should eat them to the

exclusion of everything else.

I don't exactly agree, but I see where they're coming from, and there's a lot we can learn

from the carnivore movement. I've got eight takeaways today. Number one, that a steak really

isn't going to kill you. I've covered these arguments dozens of times, but it's

truly heartening to see hundreds and thousands of anecdotal reports from people who are thriving

while eating two, three, four rib-eyes a day for months and even years on end. When you see that,

even though it's just a collection of anecdotes, it gets really hard to think

that eating a big grass-fed rib-eye whenever you want is really going to give you cancer or

diabetes or whatever else, Malady, they're trying to pin on red meat.
