This guy is every vegetarian’s worst nightmare.
Nebraska resident Weston Rowe has been consuming a raw meat-based diet, including raw chicken, for the last three years and has no plans to stop.
Rowe, 39, eats raw, protein-rich foods such as beef, liver, chicken and other animal organs. All products are locally sourced from dairy and poultry farms.
He believes that the diet has helped raise his energy levels — despite many warnings about infections including dangerous salmonella.
“I am in better health both physically and mentally, better than I’ve ever been in my life,” Rowe told Caters News Agency. He no longer eats processed foods and spends about $140 a week on his meals.
Rowe doesn’t like to snack and eats two or three meals a day. He sometimes skips breakfast but does munch on three or four raw eggs and a piece of fruit.
“[Fruit] is one of the rare things I eat that isn’t meat-based,” he said.
“I would say at this time I eat 99 percent farm-fresh raw meat and have never once been sick or unwell from my diet,” he claimed. “The way I see it, it is a fair amount to pay to eat the best and most nutritious food in the world and actually equates to a similar amount I used to spend on junk food.”
He explained he changed his diet when he started feeling brain fogginess, decreased energy and eczema. However, one food group has caused much controversy in Rowe’s diet. Raw chicken has been linked to salmonella, but Omaha-based Rowe claimed he has “eaten hundreds of pounds of raw chicken and I have never even gotten close to being sick.
“It is very controversial, but I believe that raw meat has a natural balance of bacteria on it which works symbiotically...

I remember a friend of mine in HS that ate raw pork. Never got sick
I ate raw chicken “sashimi” in Japan. (Which even in Japan is very unusual) It literally tasted like nothing. You got the flavor of the sauce and that was about it. Big let down.
Also ate raw horse. (”sakuraniku” (cherry meat - because it’s VERY red) Again, nothing to write home about.
how is this vegetarian’s worst nightmare? when they have someone else to eat all the meat for them?
I could eat sushi and sashimi 3X/day.
me too, but I would gain 20 lbs the 1st week
Same here. I introduced my 12 year old daughter to it, and she wanted to hate it. She would eat it everyday if it didn’t break the bank.
Not all, but some vegetarians are total control freaks who are terrified that you might be having a good time eating meat.
...........Did he have fish?.................
“I could eat sushi and sashimi 3X/day.”
Same.
I, too, have had sashimi chicken. Only in Japan would I trust the food to be safe.
As for the horse meat, we called it, ‘bazushi’. Ba being one of the kanji readings for horse and zushi being the euphonic change rendered to sushi.
Even the Japanese have limits. The Chinese, however, stop at nothing, and I mean NOTHING is off the table.
Pork is actually one of the safest meats to eat raw. Trichinosis is essentially nonexistent in farm raised pigs. Wouldn’t try it with feral hogs, though
Contrast that with how I feel after a meal of cheeseburgers and fries.
I think I’m gonna barf.
Japanese foods go without spices, for the most part...
I had grilled horse while stationed in Sicily. It was tasty. A little stringy, but not bad. Now that I think about it though, they probably weren’t carving up prize stallions. More likely, horses on their way to the glue factory. Yech.
BUT, I was drinking wine...lot’sa wine. So it was fine.
Hopefully he is taking ivomec for covid to keep the parasites at bay…
I don't like being stared at by my food.
