Yes, but you're just lucky, or still young, or aren't really measuring, or aren't optimizing.

Which is fine. But it's not nice to tax other people's medicine.

1. There's no evidence that carnivore diet has any long term benefit, as this 2026 article that reviews all of the available literature points out. In fact there's more evidence of the contrary.

> The Carnivore Diet may offer short-term health benefits but carries substantial risks of nutrient deficiencies, reduced intake of health-promoting phytochemicals, and the development of cardiovascular disease. At this time, long-term adherence to a CD cannot be recommended.

2. On the contrary, the mediterranean diet is one of the most studied and backed with more evidence behind its long term health benefits.

3. In any case the topic is climate change, which agriculture and cattle are very strongly responsible for as cattle farming produces both lots of greenhouses as well as being very resource intensive.

Which is fine. But don't pretend it to be otherwise with your social media diet.
