Who else has noticed a rise in 'carnivore' content

I spend enough time on social media to notice trends and memes and whatever. The last few months have been a little weird for me online because I have noticed a lot, and I mean a LOT of self proclaimed "carnivores" on Instagram. They post things like 'why I only drink raw milk' and 'what I eat in a day as a carnivore/animal based' and other things like that. I have seen several "what I eat in a day" videos and the person at the beginning actually looks uncomfortably thin, like muscle and bone thin. They always start like "how I lost 15 pounds with my meat based diet" and their diet is a steak, pork rinds, meat jerky, and some meat and bread for dinner. Not even mentioning the price of eating like this, I rarely see anyone like this eating any vegetables at all. There is sometimes a starch, carb, or fruit but these people actually hate vegetables. The human body is NOT designed to live off meat alone. We are NOT carnivores. We are omnivores at best. This means we need carbs, we need fruits and we need vegetables and we need legumes for the nutrition they provide that these carnivore diets simply cannot provide. There are records of few humans who live in very harsh conditions, like the arctic, do live on animal meat alone. But that is because they consume the entire animal; the liver, the heart, the brain, all of it. These people have grown over time to be able to thrive on this diet, so unless one has those genes and is eating all the organs of the animal it is literally impossible to thrive off a carnivore diet. 

This rise in carnivore lifestyle content bugs me because it is absolutely unsustainable. Maybe this is only a problem for me because I'm poor, but a pound of beef is like 13 dollars. I simply cannot understand how these people are affording to eat meat all day every day. Besides the cost, this diet is so unhealthy. All those "how I lost weight as a carnivore" videos are because YOUR BODY IS LITERALLY EATING AWAY AT ITSELF. Believe it or not, a healthy body carries fat on it. These people are losing too much weight and for what? They are promoting it like "look how good my skin is" and "look how conventionally skinny I am" and then make bold claims with absolutely no source to support them. There are serious health risks associated with high meat intake, let alone eating only meat. Countries with high meat intake, like America and Germany, have higher risks of heart disease, obesity, cancer and other serious health issues. Full transparency here, the countries that do have high meat intake have high processed meat intake which is an important distinction. Eating processed meats everyday will have a much more volatile effect than eating lean organic meat. It is all still meat nonetheless. The health problems associated with high meat intake and the data to support it is complex and it took me a lot of time to learn about it myself. 

I see a lot of bold claims about raw milk so I want to talk about that real quick. Raw milk drinkers are nuts, these people be making the wildest claims like "actually the biggest disease outbreak was from pasteurized milk" and then provide no proof. I went and did my own research and spoiler, it was pasteurized milk contaminated by the raw milk. For those who did not know, pasteurization is literally the boiling of the milk to kill the bacteria like E. Coli and Salmonella. Them and the carnivores both as a whole community are basically advocating for an unsafe, unhealthy lifestyle and I know there are going to be people who actually believe it might be good. It's not. Eat a damn vegetable every once in a while. 

Here are some fun little resources. I will always encourage you to do your own research if you want to learn more <3

The body needs energy, mostly from carbohydrates/glucose, something meat doesn't provide. This is why you can eat and eat and eat lean meats and still burn through all your available energy and then some. This statement is also supported in ASAP's video on eating meat.)
