Not only have “meatfluencers” helped position meat-heavy diets as healthy, but they have also cast some plant-based foods as unhealthy, and even harmful.

The only way to actually switch all Australian beef to pasture raised, grass-fed, regenerative is if everyone ate way, way less of it. But we don’t see that messaging from the meatfluencers do we?

1. Lectins
“Meatfluencers” in the carnivore diet space like to say that consuming lectins, a protein found in most plant foods, can cause health issues. While eating lectins can cause abdominal pain or bloating, for example, these symptoms only occur if you’re consuming an abnormally high amount.

"From lectins to seed oils, ‘meatfluencers’ are fueling misinformation about both meat production and plant-based foods. But the science is clear: eating more plants, especially fruits, beans and vegetables, is good for human health."

There are a LOT of problems with what meatfluencers are selling, but a big one is the very idea that if our ancestors did it, we should do it. (They didn't eat only meat, but that's a different problem.) What are your favorite examples of ancestral experiences we're better off without?
