8 Things We Can Learn From the Carnivore Movement

Image
A few years ago, I wrote a post describing all the things that avowed Primal eaters can learn from plant-based or even vegan dieters . Sure, we’re diametrically opposed on the role of animal foods in human health, but there are still relevant takeaways. Carnivores are much closer to Primal eaters on the dietary spectrum, The Primal Blueprint posits that animal foods—meat, fish, fowl, shellfish, eggs, and dairy—represent the most nutrient-dense, most crucial component of the human diet. Carnivore takes that and runs with it, to its logical conclusion: Animal foods are so nutrient-dense and so important that we should eat them to the exclusion of everything else. I don’t exactly agree, but I see where they’re coming from. And there’s a lot we can learn from the carnivore movement. I’ve got 8 takeaways today. 1.

I also think it goes well with everything (obvi I like my food to mix a bit ) When I learned to make it from whole berries one of my first Thanksgivings after graduating from college, I started to love it a whole (berry) lot more. This year we added some bourbon during cooking, and boy-oh-boy this might be my favorite version of all! Sadly cranberry sauce is quite polarizing, and not everyone loves it as much as I do.
