Some people are just not built to digest fruits and vegetables.
It’s okay not everyone is strong enough.
So… is it ok to move your human to an all meat diet?
Quite apparently no. Give your omnivorous human the vitamins it needs!
You can get that good, scurvy-busting vitamin C from meat just fine, all you have to do is eat it raw
I bet his life is brilliant.
But is his love pure?
I wonder if he saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
I’m sure he did
Did you smile at him on a subway?
Are you speaking of today’s video’s sponsor: Brilliant™?
He looks like Benedict Cumberbatch if Benedict Cumberbatch got hit by a truck.
A truck full of meat?
Driven by pengwings
Fellas is it gay to eat fruits and veggies
No way bro, now get these bananas and cucumbers all up in your pretty mouth, yeah, do it bitch
According to the internet, he did it at university, eating nothing but mince, chicken, and mayonnaise for about 2 months. He did so to annoy other students in his classes who were vegan or vegetarian.
I’ve actually heard a few stories of uni students getting scurvy, although they were because they either didn’t know how to cook or couldn’t afford food.
That makes more sense. Although I think the carnivore diet is stupid, most people that are doing it or similar diets eat organ meats, many of which contain sufficient vitamin C among many other important vitamins and minerals.
Eating chicken salad with a spoon every day seems like it would cause all kinds of dietary issues.
That doesn’t have anything to do with scurvy.
Scurvy is a Vitamin C deficiency, and you will absolutely get scurvy from an all-meat diet unless you’re eating mostly organs and uncooked meat.
Or taking supplements to go along with it
it is true, i expierence the same right know, have scurvy.
vitamin c alone did not help. i was out of calcium, magnesium, b vitamins, and copper. took me ages to figure it out. I am slowly getting better.
eyes full af burst tiny blood vessels, hair falling out and thinning, wound healing defect, black shadow under eyes, well i looked like a dead person. lips chafy, tongue full of white stuff.
my eyes are so much sharper. i can even think better, maybe there is no way to measure that, but i feel that way.
What kinda fragile masculinity can’t handle a bit o’ scurvy?
Good god this is real. What a tit.
You’ve gotta eat the liver too.
Fellas is it gay to be healthy
It’s gay that he didn’t hunt it himself that bottom bytch
Is this why todays NYT Crossword Mini asked for scurvy treatment?
haha, happened to me:
its copper deficency by zink overload.-
without copper, there is multiple things that go wrong. but it takes time to deplete copper stores. zink always wins against copper, and meat is full of zink.
vitamin c d, and iron wont work without copper.
I did that because I develeoped grain allergy, and was insuline resistant.
I eat grains again, but sparingly.
went down from 95 kilos to 65.
fun fact:
nobody talks about that. carnivore influencer dont, thats for sure.

The word “carnivore influencer” just set me off haha.
It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.
Like, seriously. NOBODY has ever thought eating nothing but meat was a good idea until veganism became somewhat mainstream.
It’s reactionary bullshit to keep the profits coming.
It’s so fucking obvious is it that these people are paid by the meat industry.
I disagree. I think many of them are legitimately just that stupid.
Although some probably are paid.
But grains are delicious and filling
I lOVE bread and noodles.
But I hate having stomach cramps, needing 20 tons of toilet paper for one poop, constant bloatet stomach, well, and hypertension, skin problems, inflammation and anxiety. psorias, heart arrytmia.
its all gone now.
Why is everything enjoyable a curse?!
Food wise? Oh that’s easy.
Fats and salts, before agriculture and animal domestication, were hard to get a significant amount of in our diets, and the plants we foraged were usually much lower in starch and higher in fiber. Our bodies are geared to focus on these nutrient sources, so starches fats and salts taste really, really good.
Agriculture short circuited that focus as we produced and cultivated plants that were starchier, sugarier, and animals in general tripped our ‘mmmm delicious’ buttons much better than their uncultivated ancestors.
So basically it’s REALLY easy in our modern diets to get WAY too much starch, salt, and fat because our appetites are geared by millions of years of evolution but we have only been agricultural for a hundred thousand years at the very most and our biology hasn’t caught up.
So we take in a LOT more of the ‘good stuff’ that our body wants, and too much of anything is not good.
Hence the modern obesity epidemic and the rise of type 2 diabetes.
People like to whine it is a personal willpower problem, but it really isn’t.
It’s a food supply problem. 60% of the space in our grocery stores is just made up of various nutritionally empty configurations of starch, fat, and salt.
On one hand it’s stupid to sabotage your health to appear more masculine. On the other hand casually bringing up that you have contracted a pirate illness in conversation does sound pretty damn masculine.
Hmmmmm.
Reminds me, I should probably increase my citrus intake.
Legend has it that you can drink beer instead. A decent IPA should do it, or a bunch of decent IPAs and you won’t care
No I sort of meant more fruits in general
Like a cocktail or something?
If you have potatoes or onions in your diet, you’re probably safe.
It’s hilariously easy to not get scurvy unless you’re on a 18th century ship, an arctic expedition, or trying to get it.
If you have potatoes or onions in your diet, you’re probably safe.
Looks like I’m in the clear!

Unironically probably yes, even if that was all your intake. The amount of Vitamin C you need to prevent scurvy is incredibly small. It really is a disease you can’t get unless you’re trying for it anymore. Like, fries and onion rings have like 2 mg of Vitamin C per serving, and you only need 10 mg a day to stave off scurvy.
Wow, TIL. Thanks, OP!
Got you, 5 servings of fries a day it is.
This is the kind of medical advice I like.
