Whenever talking about nutrition, I always recommend the book The Big Fat Surprise, by Nina Teicholtz. It's an amazing read, I couldn't put it down. Here's my post on it -#320715.
The subtitle is - Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet. I had never been seriously exposed to the ideas she talks about in the book, and it was a revelation. It's why I went carnivore. (Though after I went carnivore, I discovered a huge and growing carnivore oriented subculture, huge amounts of youtube channels, blogs, books, etc. )

My journey started from a bunch of digestive issues that led me through GF to low carb, so that limits my vegetables a bit, but I don't completely avoid them like carnivores do. When I don't eat any vegetables, my body rebels. I get sores in my mouth, for example. I've been doing it for more than a decade and learned what works well for me in the short and medium term.
We're all making decisions based on short-term observations and I do wonder about the long term. Every body is different. Nutritional science is in its infancy. I hope we some day get the specific dna and gut biome testing that helps people figure out their individual dietary needs. Until then, I'm sticking with what feels good.
