Zero carb has its own host of issues, not just from the nutrition side of things, but also a host of ethical concerns
Oh really? Funny I haven't seen any nutritional deficiencies in my year on that way of eating, and haven't died of scurvy even once. In fact I'm in the best health I ever have had since I was a youth
Ethics? Eating animals raised on grass (in places which don't support other agriculture) is worse than clear felling forests to support monoculture cereals?
My food supports the land it grows on, which hosts a myriad other species
Wow, you only eat meat from animals which you yourself raised, slaughtered and prepared?
Even if that were the case (which it isn't), not everyone can do that.
Do you know, why that is?
Because eating animals is wasteful as fuck.
Btw. What do you think you "animals raised on grass" (which they aren't) are fed with? Maybe soy from monocultures?
no OP but that REALLY depends on where you live. rn i know about 4-5 farmers that raise cattle ONLY on free range pastures and dont subsidue their feed with anything else and can buy directly from them without any middle men
and i fucking hate the "so what if you can, others cant" argument in threads like these. OP was stating that they do this and its better for them. never did they say its better for everyone to do this
