    Honestly, are there that many people who do a carnivorous diet?

    Omnivores, sure, but exclusively meat?

    I think that the Inuit traditionally eat overwhelmingly meat, as there isn’t a lot of plant food available, but I don’t know about exclusively.

    Like, vegans already have their own issues in getting the right nutrients, and I’d think that carnivores would have a harder time. Scurvy?

      Probably not that many, honestly. It’s niche. Even the intuit today have moved to a mostly western diet, with its incumbent issues.

      Right now the most mainstream use case for carnivore is as a elimination tool - people having some gut or inflammation issue go strict pure carnivore for 6 weeks or so, then introduce different foods back into their diet - very slowly - until the issue happens again.

      It’s not difficult to eat a variety of foods and take a multivitamin and an omega 3 everyday 🙄
