I would like to think we are just carnivores but we are not. We are Omnivores that lean towards being healthier on a majority of meat consumption.

Just try to survive without Vitamin C intake tat can only be found in fruits and vegetables. You can actually die from scurvy within a couple months.

“Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a very important nutrient for your body. It’s responsible for the development, growth and healing of your skin, bones and connective tissue. In addition, you need vitamin C for your blood vessels to function properly. Vitamin C helps maintain your teeth and gums. It helps your body absorb iron, which it needs to make red blood cells. Vitamin C also helps heal burns and other wounds.”

Same with many other vitamins and minerals that you can only get from Vegetable matter.

The Inuits or the Samis eat no fruit and vegetable, none of them die let alone suffer from scurvy all their life, let alone within a couple months. There are plenty of long term carnivores for years (I myself have been carnivore “only” for 2 years). We eat no greens and we thrive. The science on dietary vitamin C is well known and explains why and I won’t belabor on it, you can get all the infos you need if you care to learn instead of repeating things. All I can say is your “science” on vitamin C is demonstrably refuted by reality.

So you went first with “carbs are essential” (which is FALSE, there are essential fatty acids and essential amino-acids but no essential carb, none). And now you pivot to no-greens=scurvy, which is equally bogus. What’s next?
Or maybe you would revise your current beliefs, just saying?

Pardon??? Which one vitamin or mineral you’d need, that you “can only get from vegetable matter”, and not from a meat based diet?
I am curious to know but I doubt you could name ONE, just one. Yeah, the current dietary “science” is as bad as that! Don’t blame me, blame those who gaslight you.
