Celia Farber did a post or two on the virtues of the carnivore diet. I was frustrated when Rachel Carson's book was referenced as the post gave a over reduced impression that the problem with pesticides is tied to a vegetarian or vegan diet and isn't larger than that. It strikes me that going from compromised crops to organically raised meat may help a lot of people but probably more due to the compromised over sprayed crops than meat vs. plant. I also suspect people with different lineages are going to respond differently to food. That if long ago your ancestors lived off the sea, or off rice paddies, or in my case off of potatoes...well...you may be better and digesting those sources of nutrition than other options. Its frustrating when you have to begin to suspect everyone has some anterior motives or funding that may be tilting their otherwise very astute sense making.
The post seemed to be someone on a paleo, if she was eating dairy, sugar and junk before, just stopping this and eating more greens will improve her health and any weight loss will also improve markers. Nothing to do with eating or not eating meat.
And no way is anyone human adapted for long term as a carnivore!
Odd that balanced diet is the actual elephant in the diet room. Extreme agricultural practices in both livestock and plants is the abhorrent removal of the sacred from the earth, life and our bodies.

Yeah i saw and commented on that propaganda and rudeness too.
Yes it's all very frustrating, but i guess trusting our own judgement is always the lesson to learn.
