    Eating zerocarb (aka carnivore) works, especially if you only drink tap water; Add coffee and you have to be a little careful

    Also be careful on soaps and hair care

      Zero carb has its own host of issues, not just from the nutrition side of things, but also a host of ethical concerns

        1. Oh really? Funny I haven’t seen any nutritional deficiencies in my year on that way of eating, and haven’t died of scurvy even once. In fact I’m in the best health I ever have had since I was a youth

        2. Ethics? Eating animals raised on grass (in places which don’t support other agriculture) is worse than clear felling forests to support monoculture cereals?

        My food supports the land it grows on, which hosts a myriad other species

          Wow, you only eat meat from animals which you yourself raised, slaughtered and prepared?

          Even if that were the case (which it isn’t), not everyone can do that.
          Do you know, why that is?

          Because eating animals is wasteful as fuck.

          Btw. What do you think you “animals raised on grass” (which they aren’t) are fed with? Maybe soy from monocultures?

            no OP but that REALLY depends on where you live. rn i know about 4-5 farmers that raise cattle ONLY on free range pastures and dont subsidue their feed with anything else and can buy directly from them without any middle men

            and i fucking hate the “so what if you can, others cant” argument in threads like these. OP was stating that they do this and its better for them. never did they say its better for everyone to do this

            I live in Australia near our mountain pastures. The meat supply is a mix of local grass fed and finished beef and lamb, and grain finished beef from up north

            The grass finished meat has a healthier fat balance and tastes better

            I always ask butchers where my meat was raised and how it was finished as that affects the ethics and flavour. I agree with you that meat raised on grain is wasteful.

            Where’s the waste in what I buy? They drink from mountain streams, they eat grass. Most of their meat goes to human food, most of the rest goes to pet food, the skin becomes leather

            When I cook more meat than I can eat, the extra goes in the fridge and I eat it for the next meal

            On the relevant subreddit (which hasn’t moved to Lemmy) I have heard it’s easy to get grass finished beef in the US too

              I live in a ranching state (South Dakota) where beef is processed locally, and it’s nearly impossible to get grass-fed meat. Sure, some of it is labeled “grass-fed” with a drastically higher price point (unsustainable for most people), but the whole industry is so corrupt and ethically bankrupt that it’s a meaningless label, just like almost anything else you buy here.
