Nutrients - Plant vs Animal Sources

The Perfect '5 a Day' - Zoe Harcombe
​​
1) Five-a-day was invented at a meeting of fruit and veg companies at a meeting in California in 1991. The term has since been trademarked by the American National Cancer Institute. It was not evidence based at the time and for something to be evidence based, it needs to be based on evidence. That means the evidence needs to come before the slogan. A point that seems to escape every person who reiterates this myth as if it is fact. The full monty on five-a-day is here. Here are the findings from the EPIC study in 2010 showing that we couldn’t even establish a clear association, let alone causation, for the condition for which five-a-day is trademarked (cancer) after studying 500,000 people across 23 European locations for 8 years.
2) Fruit and vegetables are not the healthiest foods available. Why are they being singled out as the food items we should be putting such effort into consuming every single day?
3) If only we had put the same effort into promoting evidence based ‘super foods’ – the ones genuinely rich in all the nutrients that humans need to survive and thrive, we could actually have made a difference to human health since five-a-day was first coined.

Broccoli has more protein than steak”—and other crap
From Adele Hite
Let’s see how similar caloric intakes of steak and broccoli stack up when comparing how these two foods provide for essential amino acid requirements. A 275-calorie portion of steak (4 ounces) has 30.5 grams of protein and comes very close to meeting all the daily essential amino acid requirements for a 70 kg adult. A 277-calorie portion of broccoli is not only way more food—you’ll be chewing for a long time as you try to make it through 9 ¼ cups of broccoli—exactly NONE of the daily essential amino acid requirements for an adult are met:​

Essential Nutrition on the Carnivorous Diet - Sarah Muma

Animal foods are also void of anti-nutrients and sugars that inhibit nutrient absorption, making the nutrients more bioavailable and easier for our bodies to use.

Carnivorous ways of eating among people is not something that is truly discussed very often. Many times, we find that when putting a discussion about people who eat meat into proper context, we are actually discussing Omnivores. 

Carnivores rarely, if ever, eat plant foods. As a carnivore, a typical dinner plate for me contains around one pound of meat and nothing else. The typical dinner plate of an Omnivore will contain meat, vegetables, and starches.

Many cultures have thrived for multiple generations eating carnivorously. However, there isn't a single culture that has thrived for multiple generations eating as herbivores or Vegan. So, I find it odd there are so many fears surrounding the carnivorous way of eating and so much encouragement to be Vegan.

Whichever way you choose to eat, most people understand the importance of proper nutrition to their overall wellbeing. The problem is, there is a lot of confusion as to how to obtain it.

​Let's take a look at where to find essential nutrients on a Carnivorous diet: Link to table
