James Barry critiques carnivore diet claims that demonize broccoli and other plants as toxic. He contrasts extreme diet positions, addresses someone named Vinnie, and warns against health claims that aren't backed up.
Broccoli is not conspiring to kill you. I'm sorry. I feel great about a carnivore diet. The problem with carnivore, they've now bastardized that. Or even worse, carnivore is the opposite of veganism. Veganism is the absence of any kind of animal protein. Carnivore is only animal protein. Wait a minute, Vinnie. How can you be in between those 2? You gotta pick one or the other. No, I don't. The carnivores are now saying, if you eat broccoli, broccoli is conspiring to kill you. You've become a zealot at that point. But then everyone else takes it to a new level. Start making up stuff. Really? You want me to go preach that? I can't lie to people that way.
