Meat is pretty high in vitamin c if not overcooked. There's definitely other nutritional disorders an all-cow diet is flirting with (especially if you don't eat the organs), but not actual scurvy.

Meat isn't particularly high in vitamin C(some organ meat is, liver especially), but the main thing is that it competes with/is inhibited by glucose and so the lack of carbs/sugar means the relatively little amount of vitamin C is sufficient.

I mean, even odds on it actually coming from a cop, but I have no issue believing that there exists a racist officer in the Toronto PD who feels stifled by being told he shouldn't be racist.

I'm a little late on the Peterson train, but maybe his experiment has some validity. Hear me out. A complicated way to discover if you have allergies to something is to eliminate practically everything in your diet, and then reintroduce things to find the culprit. Except that in this case, Peterson did what he always does, which is make false attributions to data and then universalize it.

A journo from The Guardian tried his diet for a week.

During my foray into the world of beef, salt and water, I never heard a rebuttal to the science

quote:

There is so much evidence�abundant, copious evidence acquired over decades of work from scientists around the world�that most people benefit from eating fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and seeds. This appears to be largely because fiber in plants is important to the flourishing of the gut microbiome. I ran this by some experts, just to make sure I wasn�t missing anything that might suggest a beef-salt diet is potentially something other than a bad idea. I learned that it was worse than I thought.

�Physiologically, it would just be an immensely bad idea,� Jack Gilbert, the faculty director at the University of Chicago�s Microbiome Center and a professor of surgery, told me during a recent visit to his lab. �A terribly, terribly bad idea.�

Gilbert has done extensive research on how the trillions of microbes in our guts digest food, and the look on his face when I told him about the all-beef diet was unamused. He began rattling off the expected ramifications: �Your body would start to have severe dysregulation, within six months, of the majority of the processes that deal with metabolism; you would have no short-chain fatty acids in your cells; most of the by-products of gastrointestinal polysaccharide fermentation would shut down, so you wouldn�t be able to regulate your hormone levels; you�d enter into cardiac issues due to alterations in cell receptors; your microbiota would just be devastated.�

While much of the internet has been following this story in a somewhat snide way, Gilbert appeared genuinely concerned and saddened: �If she does not die of colon cancer or some other severe cardiometabolic disease, the life�I can�t imagine.�

I don't understand how this grift works. Like is it just for attention? How is he making a profit out of this patently ridiculous 'diet'?

As others have said, it's not so much a grift as it is unchecked mental illness among hypochondriacs. There is a kind of religious zealotry among people trying to attain "wellness" that becomes an expression of their identity for the same type of people that already believe conspiracy theories or have an emotional need to be seen as a "free thinker." The appeal of thinking that everyone else is eating wrong and you know the one true diet that will cure all your ills is intoxicating to them. Diet is important to them because it also allows themselves a feeling of control in which they can both flex their willpower and purify their body of sin, while reinforcing this identity multiple times throughout the day and being able to make a performance of it to others. Someone on Twitter once pointed out that the trajectory of someone who adapts a wellness identity after experiencing an undefined medical issue is identical to that of someone who suddenly decides to purchase a bunch of firearms to defend themselves. There's a reason a whole bunch of these ideologies fit together.

He and his daughter both tried reintroducing things and found that doing so hosed them up pretty badly, the daughter much more so, their immune systems are hosed.

Having your the cartilage in your joints disintegrate until you need an ankle and hip replaced rules out being mere hypochondriacs.

Dying of scurvy to own the libs

You don't get scurvy if you're eating meat from the grocery store because it still has enough vitamins left in it. To get scurvy in modern society you have to be eating a way more insane diet than JPee's.

Like nothing but uncooked ramen, beef jerky, and filtered water for months insane.

Oh, did the carnivore diet replace their joints, too?

If someone tells their doctor they have depression, psoriasis, allergic reactions to wifi and bugs under their skin, it is still entirely possible they are depressed and have psoriasis. That does not rule out mental instability or hypochondriasis.

As someone who still has mild anxiety issues related to cooking, it's not too surprising that a person who never got taught and could survive on microwaved meals/eating out would avoid it. You have to buy all the ingredients, and then hope you do it right, or you're either stuck with something gross or something completely inedible and then you've wasted all that money. Bundle that with a fear of failure in general and you've got a recipe :v:

for someone who would rather avoid the stove forever!

Of course, it's not that hard to just learn to do it anyway, and once you get a few tries under your belt it's pretty painless. Other than when you're sauteeing and the oil jumps on you like an rear end in a top hat.

I have a friend that went down the latter rabbit hole. His wife's ex-boyfriend tried to kill him by waiting in his car and slitting his throat. A totally reasonable thing to make you fell unsafe. But since then he's degerated into a typical gun nut anti govrenment type. He started out just buying a pistol and not he owns like 3 dozen guns and thinks the government is turning frogs gay. I was a pretty surreal thing to watch happen. At least he's not racist.
