Nope, not the reason I said it but nice assumption.

- swebs 6y agoWell until someone develops mind-reading technology, that's the most likely explanation someone reading your comment would have.
- Loughla 6y agoOr, alternate option, you can take it at face value in that he claimed a meat only diet helped him, using his public persona to push an agenda that is completely unsupported by science.
- brankoB 6y agoHe wasn't "pushing an agenda". He was telling people about how a diet he went on helped him and his daughter. He explicitly stated multiple times that he wasn't a doctor and that his experience was anecdotal.
- gitrog 6y agoPeterson does have a way of trying to tie all of his beliefs into a larger world view, and selling that, though. It's the same thing with the Mesopotamian gods and his beliefs about gender.
- brankoB 6y agoThat's true, however I do think the meat-only anecdote came from a good place. Him and his daughter had been suffering from clinical depression and a host of other problems for decades and the diet seemed to help them. I think if I was in a similar situation I'd try to let other people know too.
- gitrog 6y agoWhy is /that/ the most likely explanation? Peterson has said many controversial things on topics that aren't his area of expertise.
