Meat-based diet Related
Articles & posts
Many cultures throughout history and across the world have eaten meat-heavy, if not meat-only, diets. This webpage showcases such cultures with quotes about their dietary practices, showing that humans can not only survive but thrive, on a diet composed primarily of animal-based foods.
How many times have you heard the following?
“Humans can’t digest meat: it rots in the colon.”
“Meat takes 4–7 days to digest.”
Like most propaganda, it’s not just false, it’s an inversion of truth.
This article addresses the following four questions:
- How vital was the place of animal source foods in pre-agricultural diets?
- Do we know how much was consumed in pre-agricultural diets?
- How did the agricultural transition affect the intake of animal source foods?
- The industrial transition: meat is back on the menu – but what changed?
This article addresses the following three questions:
- Why is an evolutionary perspective relevant for nutritional theory?
- Which anatomical adaptations reflect the evolutionary importance of animal source foods?
- Which metabolic adaptations reflect the evolutionary importance of animal source foods?

Be sure to read the entire thread.

Honey is a controversial topic in the carnivore community.
I am with Amber O’Hearn on this. Honey has no place in the carnivore diet.
Be sure to read the entire thread.
It simply isn't true that honey has no antinutrients.

And "designed to be eaten" is misleading; for one thing, you might ask "designed for whom?"

If you are eating lots of “healthy” foods like chia puddings, spinach salads, and kale smoothies, learn why that might be a bad idea.

Meat Matters – Making the case for a valuable food in a hostile environment
Frédéric Leroy, Frits Heinrich, Michael RF Lee & Kim Willems
