The backstory of every carnist (lemmy.vg)

I messed up my body by eating ultra processed junk food all my life. I switched over to a carnivore diet and feel the best I ever did.

No you switched to another horrible diet. It made you feel good for a bit (like smoking) but It'll get you in the end.

Yep. Heard the same from family and coworkers. They don't realize they went from eating at restaurants and 12pack of donuts, to home cooking where you control sugar and salt and no additives.

I mean I eat vegan junk food probably too often but I eat fruits, vegetables and fibre too so my blood looks pretty neat. And blood is something to get checked yearly anyways because it will likely save your ass.

People switching "back" have most likely been plant based. Nothing wrong with that but its not vegan.

carnist does not mean, "practitioner of the carnivore diet"

Til: carnist is one who supports eating meat and animal products.

So carnivore diet followers are a subset of carnists. Thank you for correcting me.

Carnists are people who hold the typically unexamined belief that sometimes it is okay or good to needlessly harm animals.
