God I first saw lindy here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34098353 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34098353 Still don't know what the fuck it means

  I didn't know anyone was using it as a descriptor like that, but in that context it seems to mean eating foods that have been around long enough to prove they have staying power and aren't harmful over any measurable time scale, or somesuch. Not sure I agree, but I sure understand the motive.

  Still don't know what the fuck it means in regards to diet. Probably this: https://twitter.com/lindydiet/status/1297211546934939651?lang=en https://twitter.com/lindydiet/status/1297211546934939651?lan... The wikipedia page shows a bunch of equations. That's about the Lindy Effect, which is something else entirely (the only food connection is that it was named after a NY deli).

    > 5) Eat animals that are vegetarians I can't think of a carnivore animal that is commonly eaten. Chicken? But not really carnivore when raised in a battery cage.

      Most of the fish we eat AFAIK are predators. Salmon, tuna, herring, cod, haddock, pollock...

      Pigs are omnivorous.

      We used to feed ground-up animals to animals as feed. So they were - unintentionally - carnivorous.
