Why I don't eat plants.

1. They are not needed. All required nutrients are obtainable from meat.

2. They take up space that is better put to use digesting meat.

3. They contain antinutrients (eg phytates) that inhibit absorption of nutrients.

4. Many contain toxins (eg oxalates) that accumulate and cause inflammation and damage to the gut lining and other body tissues.

5. Many are high in carbohydrate, causing blood sugar imbalance, insulin spikes and weight gain.

6. The fibre causes bulky stools that can lead to constipation and damage to gut lining as well as reducing absorption of nutrients.

You're a meat-eater with a "grass is greener" complex

I love how you broke down the reasons for not eating plants into 6 juicy (pun intended) points. But let's get real, have you considered that some of those "antinutrients" might just be your body's way of telling you to eat more fiber?

And hey, if oxalates are a problem, maybe it's because you're not drinking enough water? I mean, who needs hydrated kidneys, anyway?

On a more serious note, while meat can be a great source of protein and nutrients, it's also important to acknowledge the role that plants play in maintaining overall health. Maybe we can have a discussion about finding balance in our diets rather than dismissing the importance of veggies entirely?

Carnivore was great for me as it absolutely turned my health around. As I got healthy, I found I could tolerate fruits, vegetables and grains. I still emphasize meat.
