I got permabanned from the Friendly Carnivore com and I think that's really funny. (lemmy.today)

I eat meat, but man do I see some dumb shit posted on that com. Apparently I called someone too hard on their bullshit. Hardcore carnists sure are fucking delicate. Maybe they should get a little more fiber in their diet.

If you don’t eat fiber you’re going to have some serious gut issues later in life. Lack of fiber has been linked to colon and other gut cancers.

Also i prefer to not be backed up for two weeks waiting to poop from lack of fiber but you do you.

You'll be surprised to learn that eating no fiber at all completely relieved idiopathic constipation in a study done on the topic: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3435786/

Observational study, obviously, and correlation isn't causation. But it's easy enough to experiment on yourself. I have no constipation and consume no fibre in my diet.
