Given this group's lifestyle and dietary ways, this is appropriate to the reason Carnivore through Primal is the answer to modern diseases and addiction epidemic.
Good morning, saplings, This is long, but it goes beyond what the author says, and it's even worse than what the article shows. Apologies in advance for my blithering ways; I am but a long-winded little Puck, addicted to science and the ways of nature. From SUGARbriety International, a post by Ben Fury, a harsh reality. What is the first thing we are advised to feed a baby for introductory foods? Grains. And after that? Pureed vegetables and fruit. Modern curriculum books say no premasticated (when someone chews it and deposits it into the baby's mouth) food, especially meats, and fails to mention meat at all until around 3 years or not at all, focusing on a vegetarian to nearly vegan-type dietary regimen. This is child abuse. We are being encouraged to feed our children addictive drugs and a nutrient-deficient, gut-damaging diet. It is abhorrent. In my nutritional studies, even those horribly written books emphasize the need for fat--especially animal fats like from breast milk--before they do a 180 and push cereal and plant foods which don't contain the vital fats needed for brain and neural development. I will say this at the beginning to get it up there for short attention spans: the best introductory foods are egg yolk (can be lightly cooked if you're a germaphobe OR if the child was not breastfed (I will do a paper on how breastfeeding programs a baby's immune system), or one can puree liver. Your choice of cooking or not is completely up to you, and I do not claim responsibility to your actions nor recommend any practice which would be deemed hazardous. Chewing is NOT a hazard or disgusting and boosts the baby's immune system by introducing the same bacteria in your digestive system the protects you from your environment (unless you use toothpaste, then you're riddled with antibiotics and parabens; hormone disruptors--seriously, you don't need toothpaste at all or can use coconut oil or baking soda or one of those natural types). Premastication has been around for eons for multiple species including humans. Most species pre-digest for heir young and then...ahem...expel it from their stomachs for their toddlers. So, what are cereal grains? Starch; sugar, no matter how you look at it, cellulose; indigestible and abrasive sugar, fiber; an abrasive, disease-causing material when in excess or from sources like grains, lectins; inflammatory and immunoresponsive proteins--causes immune system overload and attacks the body's tissues, phytates or phytic acid; phosphorus compounds that bind to minerals and draw them from the body, agglutinins; which are proteins that cause binding of other proteins and have even been shown to cause metastasis of cancer cells or even cause overgrowth of cells (tumors). There is much, much more, and the nutrition in these is very small, if not completely unavailable to the human body. Let's break this down a bit using science: Starch https://www.britannica.com/science/starch [Starch is a polysaccharide (q.v.) comprising glucose monomers joined in α 1,4 linkages.] ~Translation: sugar. Cellulose https://www.britannica.com/science/cellulose [Cellulose, a complex carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, consisting of 3,000 or more glucose units.] ~Translation: sugar (indigestible; this is what bloats and constipates people). Fiber This is the book Fiber Menace: The Truth About the Leading Role of Fiber in Diet Failure, Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Colon Cancer https://www.gutsense.org/fiber…/about-fiber-menace-book.html ~Although a bit preachy and for some, overwhelming due to his excitement and passion, it is this man's passion which spurs the book and led him to show people just how harmful fiber is for the body. Take note he does not mean from the common fruits and vegetables, but from things pushed on the market like wheat bran and such, which actually cause the bowel complications fiber is purported to resolve. Fruits and vegetables are meant to be peeled and the most fibrous pieces discarded as waste. If you start peeling raspberries, you're neurotic about it, though. But for most fruits, the peeling is where most of the toxicants are (the poisonous compounds that are pesticides to protect the plant--its immune system!). Lectins (specific types of proteins) Lectins: Their Damaging Role in Intestinal Health, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Weight Loss https://www.sott.net/…/237196-Lectins-Their-Damaging-Role-i… ~Oh, woe as us (not to be confused with WOE). Bacteria is blamed, but plants, egg white, and even dairy for some people are the cause. Turns out, most 'pathogen outbreaks' are actually a result of improper plant handling and preparation. Beans and grains are poisonous undercooked (they're poisonous over time, anyway, unless prepared a specific and time-consuming way). Remember this. Agrarian diet and diseases of affluence – Do evolutionary novel dietary lectins cause leptin resistance? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1326203/ ~Got those uncontrollable hunger pangs every 5 minutes? Well, there may be a reason, and it's not lack of self-control. Dietary Lectins as Disease Causing Toxicants https://scialert.net/fulltext/?doi=pjn.2009.293.303 ~I think the title speaks for itself. These things have been known to be toxic for a very long time, which is why traditionally, they were cooked to death (no nutrition left so why bother with these things?) or fermented.

Modulation of immune function by dietary lectins in rheumatoid arthritis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10884708 ~Lectins in a completely raw state or improperly prepared like modern bread mimics the tissues of the human body. These are called antigens, being foreign substances that invade the body. The body then forms antibodies to combat these foreign invaders and protect us from a possible disease, like it does with a virus. The problem? These antibodies have a key code to that protein (lectins are proteins, just to remind you all), and that protein is mimicking the tissues in the human body, most especially joint tissues. So much for "healthy whole grains". Phytate or phytic acid Inhibition of trypsin activity in vitro by phytate https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf00112a049 ~Protein digestion is inhibited by this, and minerals are bound and go out of the body in the bowel movements. Ergo, you eat lots of these and you're only pooping nutrients, not absorbing them.

Agglutinins are proteins (immunoglobulins) and function as part of the immune mechanism of the body. When the invading agents that bring about the production of agglutinins are bacteria, the agglutinins produced bring about agglutination of the bacterial cells.] ~So... If agglutinins cause binding of specific proteins, and seed agglutinins (especially grains and legumes, peanuts included) mimic our specific proteins which includes blood, and these agglutinins show up in our bloodstream after we eat them...why are these not being looked at in stroke and embolisms and other clot-related diseases?

The point about sugar stands: babies are being exposed to this early and on a massive scale. And we wonder why drug addiction is so bad. On sugar addiction: Preclinical evidence for the addiction potential of highly palatable foods: Current developments related to maternal influence https://www.sciencedirect.com/…/artic…/pii/S0195666316309357 ~Now, I want to break this down because it has several flawed points that are common to studies whose authors have a clear bias to promote the standard guidelines: [Although there are many causative factors leading to excessive weight gain including genetics and sedentary lifestyle, the transformation of the food environment has undoubtedly contributed to the dangerously high rates of obesity.] ~Sedentary has nothing to do with most people's weight gain. Some thrive better on high physical activity, but some people, like me, are mostly sedentary and managed to get from 256 lbs (116 kg) to 130 lbs (59 kg) simply by avoiding processed foods (to 179 lbs [81 kg] on Ketogenic), then completely avoiding plants. Ergo, exercise has little to do with it. And this: [The current food landscape is inundated with food engineered to contain artificially high levels of sugar and fat.] This is true. If you eat large amounts of fat with sugar, you cannot use the fat and the body stores it for when you're not loaded up on excessive carbohydrate--which you should know that today, everything is loaded on carbs. But here's the thing: carbohydrate does this, anyway, but fat just adds to it through that pathway. Not everyone reacts this way, so individuality matters! Then this: [These neurobehavioral adaptations are similar to what is observed in drugs of abuse.] Carbs are a drug. They affect the chemistry of the brain just like all drugs when in an isolated form. In a true sugar addict, even fruit can be a problem and should be avoided. When alone, fat causes mild satiety, and with protein the effect is greater; to add to this, foods high in nutrient density like liver have the most sating effect because it contains every nutrient vital to health in perfect proportions. I'll do a paper on that later so stay tuned! And I really don't approve of Healthline as any form of resource, but this one hit home and used credible research, which I will be using in a future article and will edit this post with my own so as not to lead people to a site that promotes consumption of unhealthy things like fiber and grains. [“Research shows that sugar can be even more addicting than cocaine,” says Cassie Bjork, R.D., L.D., founder of Healthy Simple Life. “Sugar activates the opiate receptors in our brain and affects the reward center, which leads to compulsive behavior, despite the negative consequences like weight gain, headaches, hormone imbalances, and more.” Experts Agree: Sugar Might Be as Addictive as Cocaine It’s legal, socially accepted, and lurking in everything we eat. https://www.healthline.com/…/experts-is-sugar-addictive-dru… “Studies suggest that every time we eat sweets we are reinforcing those neuropathways, causing the brain to become increasingly hardwired to crave sugar, building up a tolerance like any other drug,” she adds.] And another valuable paper with links to the research and mention of the good man Dr. James DiNicolantonio, which shows the emerging alarm that refined sugars are probably one of the worst things, which includes improperly prepared seeds, which are filled with starches that just become sugar in the digestive tract!

Those of us adapted to raw meat have this thing called an immune system. By exposing ourselves to germs deemed as dangerous pathogens, we become immune to them. The immune system also fights parasites, but there is a history of parasite symbiotic partnership in animals that we scientists are just beginning to understand, but it's there and parasitic infestation isn't necessarily a death sentence, nor is it incurable through natural means.
Through zoopharmacognosy, animals have figured out and teach their offspring the ways of medicinal use of their environment. Parrots eating clay to neutralize toxins in the seeds they eat; apes teaching their young which part of the plant is a medicine and even patting the hand away in an obvious "not that one" communication; and even wolves showing their young how to cure a problem with local botanicals. The United States is not the rest of the world. It's the country of hypochondria and germophobia because of the market of pharmaceuticals and the fear of germs which was spread around and caused the spread of illness due to avoidance of microbiota. Japan, France, Belgium--to name a few, have raw meat foods all the time and have no problem. In fact, they practice pharmacognosy. Lesson in botanical medicine: wasabi is an anti-parasitic and antimicrobial; ginger and turmeric are, too, as well as being cancer preventatives; rosemary deactivates carcinogens in certain foods and is protective of cellular structure while destroying cancerous cells; garlic has the same anti-parasite and anti-microbial properties; etc, etc. Humans have been medicating themselves against parasites for eons with food items. When exposed to environmental pathogens, one becomes immune to others they've never even been exposed to. So what does that mean? Eat dirt. That's not even a joke. Dirt contains thousands, even millions of microbiota which allows for a healthy gut flora and immunity to supposedly deadly pathogens. Raw meat, further, is easier on the digestive system for a lot of people such as myself. I hardly cook my meat at all. I've also been through multiple outbreaks of e. coli, salmonella, and four I can't remember the names of because I was younger, and I was the only one who was unaffected, and the only one who was a dumb kid who ate bugs and didn't listen to the warnings about raw meat. My aunt was also unaffected because she lived in a filthy environment and it built up her immune system. If you want to improve odds and avoid possible negative reactions, start with eating dirt or wallowing in mud, or use vinegar if you can to destroy the microbes. If you get sick, keep hydrated and just wait it out while keeping the emergency room in mind if you have any horrible reactions such as extreme cramping, which can be a life-threatening reaction. Your body needs to adapt to it, but conventional practice will completely destroy your gut microbiota with antibiotics and your immune system will weaken. If you make that choice, it's yours to make. I'm not your mommy. I'm a scientific major with a 4.0 and background in immunological, nutritional, and botanical sciences. I'm just someone who informs.

Plants, not meat, are responsible for more cases of food poisoning. One thing is, plants contain bacteria inside them, so washing them doesn't do anything. They are living organisms just like animals and have a microbiota. The negative reaction is the fault of the antibiotics mashed into everything including soaps to armpit deodorant. You are more likely to get sick from plants than you are from meat, as well, because vegetables contain natural toxicants and poisons to keep animals from eating them, and they must be prepared correctly to make them safe for humans because we are a carnivorous species by physiology, not herbivores with specialized anatomy meant for plant digestion.
