    I feel like its worth mentioning you can have healthy high meat diets (not pure meat though just want to get ahead of that) but this requires it be meat thats not highly processed and that you cut out most carbohydrates. Now we definetaly eat too much meat and often in a very short time span but the things we often do to meat would make almost any food unhealthy.

      Keto BS.

      A high-meat low-carb diet is a pseudo-self-starvation method to lose weight if that works for you. But no one needs that amount of cholesterol and saturated fat, and where are you getting your fibre and micronutrients from? Getting that many calories from protein could be problematic too, and would certainly be off the table for anyone with kidney issues.

      Not to mention all the other reasons why meat isn’t great: inefficient use of land/food resources (1:10 conversion of calories), environmental pollution, non-human animal suffering.

      Advocating for a high meat diet is absurd and exemplifying all of the confusion peddled by the animal agriculture industry to disguise the obvious solution to eating for health: reduce animal products, and eat a whole food plant-based diet.
