Brian has used the Carnivore Diet to lose significant weight and to improve his health, but he realizes that people are different and for some, a vegetarian or even vegan diet is preferable -- and that almost ANY diet that consists of REAL FOODS is better for one's health than the ultraprocessed, highly refined, GMO'd, heavily herbicide- and pesticide-drenched, sugar- and seed-oil-laden "food" that Americans and many others around the world have been consuming.

UNITY.

Not "unity with evil" but UNITY AMONG PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL and independent thinking. We are all the same (DNA makes us all literally brothers and sisters, if much removed, thus empathy is possible and certain human truths are real) yet each person is a unique individual, so differences in thought, metabolism, culture, and a million other things are inevitable.

An excerpt from near the end of the article:


I don't call this community the "Carnivore community" or the "Keto community" because this isn't about one particular diet or way of eating. I call it "The Real Food Community", and it has vegetarians in it. There is room for everyone in the Real Food Community.

Because in the end everyone must do what works for them.

I myself am a moderate Carnivore, but I recognize this is not really a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to diet. The key thing is to get people to recognize they are living in a toxic fake food culture and to reject that to concentrate on eating Real Food instead.

Whether the real food they start eating is meat, dairy, or vegetables & fruits is beside the point as long as people ditch the toxic fake food.

There are many people who see their health dramatically improve once they ditch Fake Food for Real Food, even if all they are eating is fruits and vegetables.

I'm aware of the constant arguments and sniping between people who think Carnivore is The Only Answer and everyone should go Carnivore, vs the Militant Vegans, who fire back that everyone should go vegan etc., etc.

I think this kind of arguing has some merit as it forces people to examine their beliefs and the evidence, but far too much of it gets ugly, and it's not like we should be trying to win a competition here.

I view everybody in the Real Food community as being on the same side and trying to help people escape the American Toxic Fake Food Culture they find themselves trapped in.

So I want to be clear here: I am not advocating a particular diet to anyone; I am calling for people to abandon the American Toxic Fake Food Culture, and as long as they start eating Real Food every day, I don't particularly care which particular type of Real Food they are eating, meat or no meat, dairy or no dairy. Keto, Carnivore, or Vegan.

We have a common enemy. Let's not divide ourselves over things that don't matter, arguing about which kind of Real Food diet is 'best'.

These days a lot of people are waking up and looking for help. LET'S FOCUS ON HELPING THEM and not taking sides against each other while trying to get the newcomers to join our diet ‘team’ rather than that other one over there.
