I've been on the carnivore diet for a while and I can assure you that it is politically incorrect -- people think it is wrong to eat only red meat.

> people think it is wrong to eat only red meat Ah. Makes sense. Veganism is hip, and all that jazz. I loathe the PC community more and more by the day.

  I find people who complain about the PC community far more annoying, tbh. The PC community is just a bunch of young altruists trying to do the right thing (however misguided the attempt is). The anti-PC community has always struck me as childish.

Especially when your attempt to do the right thing relies on telling others how to live their life. > The anti-PC community has always struck me as childish. If it's childish to not want my life to be controlled by some wannabe-altruists, then I'm childish as all hell and proud of it.

Doesn't help that one of its highest-profile proponents is Jordan Goddamned Peterson.

  A wonderful and sound reason to criticize a diet.

    All his other ideas are trash, why should I expect this one to be any different?
    - bheadmaster 4y ago
      Would you care enough to share some of his ideas and your reasoning on why you consider them trash?

        I doubt you'll get much in the way of an intelligent response from fknorangesite. They'll probably just downvote you like they did me.
        fknorangesite 4y ago
        I didn't downvote you. (I don't think you can downvote a direct reply to yourself?) He's at best incoherent, and at worst an outright hateful bigot. And yeah, you're not going to sucker me into wasting my time arguing with his fans. I already waste enough of my life on this website, but even I know better than to get dragged into the mud with JP adherents. As if there hasn't already been mountains of ink spilled criticizing Peterson: there's plenty out there if you're actually curious and not just sealioning.

        > And yeah, you're not going to sucker me into wasting my time arguing with his fans. I just think JP says a lot of things that make sense, but I am open to opposite perspective, as long as it's supported by strong reasoning. Most criticisms of JP I've seen are either vague or shallow, I never see anyone actually deconstruct his argument. If you don't have time, I respect that. But I assure you, if you have good reasoning to disagree with his ideas, I'll be perceptive. I don't care much about JP himself, but I am passionate about intellectual rigor, which JP seems to have, IMHO.

People also think it’s wrong to only drink alcohol. Us alcoholics are being persecuted by the PC police :(

  The difference is that alcohol is toxic to the human body whereas human beings evolved on a diet of red meat, which is why red meat is the pinnacle of human nutrition.
