I have no problem with that position but I will suggest that you aren’t getting the most charitable accounts by only listening to carnivore sources on veganism.

Neither diet gets a fair hearing from the medical establishment for a few reasons that I know you’re familiar with.

  1. Dietary changes can resolve virtually all common health problems, making them an existential threat to the industry
  2. Doctors don’t know anything about nutrition generally
  3. Nutrition science is notoriously low quality
  4. Doctors tend to be wildly arrogant and discount other people’s knowledge.

I agree with your numbered points - yes, establishment medicine is often just plain fraud.

But I'd say that before going carnivore I was for sure exposed to a large amount of vegan/vegetarian info. It's pretty mainstream nowadays.

And that's where I got all my ideas from (fruits and veggies are great, the more the better, whole grains are great, legumes are healthier than meat). I did eat animal products, but tried hard to limit them, especially beef.

Maybe it's true that I'm not giving the vegan diet a fair chance. I'd be curious to know if there's loads of positive "carnivore to vegan" accounts, like there are in the other direction.
