Why is the carnivore diet a thing? Why do Jordan Peterson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joe Rogan, and Tucker Carlson care what you eat? What exactly is 'slonking?' And behind all the sillyness, why does this all actually really really matter?

So far my biggest gripes are they ASSUME their medical position is true and that meat is bullshit.
I would hope they have looked at MD Georiga Ede's book - Change your diet change your mind, Noake's Ketogenic - the science of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction in human health, and Baszucki's Metabolic Mind foundation which is speed running the paper mill on diet and metabolic health.
Even if you dislike people who eat meat, you should take their position seriously if your going to credibly destroy them, that means you need to steel man their ideas, and find the best research and authorities to speak to current knowledge and efficaciousness.
Right now it's credible to say nutrition impacts mental health, and many people have a adverse reaction to carbohydrates. Autoimmune issues can also be rooted in nutrition, i.e. the discovery of gluten sensitivity was discovered by a autoimmune clinic in wwii when they had grain shortages.
Carnivore is a tool of extreme elimination, get to the base nutrition necessary for human life, and see how you do - if you improve then whatever your problem was had a nutrition component. By it's very nature the people who try carnivore are the sickest and least helped by current medicine, because why would a healthy person try a elimination diet if they don't have to? It's a giant pain in the ass.
anyway, y'all are welcome to come over to !carnivore@discuss.online if you have any questions.
Their source for keto being absolutely unhealthy and dangerous is a dietician... of course. Dietician's study a procedure, and apply the procedure, they do not do interventional science themselves, so this "expert" opinion is just against their training, not the manifest literature. She even says the main macronutrient is carbohydrates... I guess all those epileptic people not eating carbs are just a group hallucination? She says you can't survive without carbohydrates, so those epileptics must all be dead..... it's not consistent thinking - because a RD is 100% trained in the use of a ketogenic diet for epilepsy, so she could have added some nuance there... but no, guess they are all dead.
That was important, they made a slide and bolded it! Guess that means your diet and food have no impact on medical conditions? Right? This is a professional dietician after all. All those drinkers with fatty liver disease can drink up without worrying about their medical condition. It's a great sound bite but its very narrow thinking. Obviously human health is impacted by the food people eat.
There is not shortage of actual medical doctors in the nutrition space, they really should have asked for a steel man position to tear down... keto is literally the most studied dietary pattern in the interventional literature. This RD could talk to any of the hundreds of practicing doctors on this list https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/doctors/all or reach out to any of the paper authors.... but no
