| What's wrong with just eating a bit of meat, fish, vegetables,
| carbs and fats? Just nice, real food in moderate amounts...

| For one thing you won't get many likes, subscribes, retweets,
| or what have you.

| Sigh.

| It's peculiar that so many think the carnivore diet is prime cuts

| vegetables for essential potassium. What we know of traditional
| carnivore diets is radically unlike what most nowadays think of
| which is based on a highly productive industrialized farming
| infrastructure that was not available for most of human history.
