As the carnivore lifestyle gains momentum, the pro-plant anti-meat zealots are ramping up their levels of high dudgeon. The "meat is murder" crowd misrepresent and just plain lie about the supposed benefits of plant only diets. The emphasis is on the ethics of animal food production, but further justification is sought by dissing animal foods as unhealthy. The ethics of animal food production are only a set of opinions and are not based in anything resembling science. It is pure emotion, devoid of rational fact.
The alleged unhealthiness of animal foods, meat in particular, is a different matter. It is, simply, a vicious stupid lie meant solely to buttress claims of the alleged ethical horror of eating meat with no basis in real clinical science whatsoever. Add to this putrid mess the phony claims that meat production contributes significantly to climate change. A highly debatable issue to put it as mildly as possible, but even if that were true, the veggies ignore the vast environmental damage wrought by grand scale crop monoculture.
Hundreds of millions of tons of fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides are washed into the world's oceans every year. Add in the many millions of tons of diesel fuel required to run farm equipment, which are poor candidates for electrification, and it's easy to see that animal husbandry lies easy on the land compared to crop agriculture.
Of course convincing the alphabet agencies that animal food is far superior to plants is a lost cause considering how deep into the pockets of big food and big pharma they are. That is not conspiratical conjecture. It is plain easily discoverable fact. Finally, for the vegetative the most offensive facet of low-carb eating is that it works. It does what it purports to do. It puts a wide range of chronic conditions into remission while at the same time strengthening the immune system to fight off infection. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, psoriasis, fatty liver, eczema, obesity, IBS, Crohn's disease, PCOS, fibromyalgia, depression, and cognitive decline, which comprise a very short list of the conditions that low/no-carb eating can greatly ameliorate or completely reverse.
This incredible, seemingly miraculous, ability of low-carb to wildly improve the physical and mental health of anyone who tries it, is improving the lives of millions, and it won't be suppressed however loud the strident and sneering attacks by the Plant People become.
