Happy Few

      A while back I had someone ask me if I thought the whole world could be converted to eating carnivore.  My answer was most certainly not, but how much of your health are you willing to sacrifice to hand-wringing about geopolitical realities?  My answer is of course zero.

     The "carnivore community" numbers perhaps a couple of hundred thousand people in the U.S., and perhaps that many more world-wide.  It is expanding, but slowly because we happy few, we band of brothers, are in a low-level guerilla war against not only extravagantly funded and entrenched industrial and governmental interests, but also against the very fabric of modern society itself.  Our society, and virtually everything it undertakes, revolves around food.  A party, a wedding, a bar mitzvah, a meeting, a friendly get-together, a sports event, a fund raiser, a birthday, etc, etc. etc.  And in the vast majority of cases it is typically a panopoly of carbs and sugary sweets with optional alcohol.  If perchance there is meat involved it is often drenched in sugary sauces and rubs.

     So, consumption of crap food at social events is almost irrevocably embedded in our culture, and most others as well.  This is just as steep a hill to climb as the equally embedded, and fatally wrong, demonization of meat consumption by duplicitous corporations, corrupt institutions,  both private and governmental,  gormless ignorant national media, and misguided climate activists who relentlessly flog the base calumny that eating ruminant animals is deleterious to the "earth".  That ruminant animals participate in a virtually neutral "carbon cycle" is entirely ignored.

      All of these factors combine to make the diffusion of the literally life-saving aspects of the carnivore diet to a wide audience an extremely hard sell. The unchecked explosion of auto-immune diseases and many other crippling conditions in our culture, entirely caused by our excremental diet, shows little sign of abating despite the determined wholesale throwing of pharmaceuticals at this massive problem.  And our social food "traditions" bear considerable responsibility for our the rickety structure of our beleaguered medical system.  A situation that will not be reversed by throwing ever greater mega-sums of money, and billions of pills, at it.
