Your Appendix Means You're A Carnivore... WHAT?! #healthyliving #nutritiontips

So this video genuinely baffled us. 😳 The creator suggests that because we have an appendix, which is now a vestigial organ (no longer used), we are not herbivores i.e. Should not eat plants. What?! 🤔 This is such a crazy jump in logic that surely the only reasonable explanation is that this person is creating satire. I mean, multiple studies repeatedly demonstrate the benefits of plant-based food. 🌱 It can help reduce the risk of problems such as cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. But no, they're serious. It only takes 1 look at their website to see why. They advocate a carnivore diet and suggest eliminating plant-based food from your diet... 🥦🚫🍏

Eat vegetables and grains, if you want to survive.

Eat meat, eggs, and dairy, if you want to thrive. It's that simple.

We're carnivores because the appendix is no longer a functional organ. We don't need fiber to function; indeed, not need to say it's unhealthy; it's merely unnecessary. We don't need carbs at all, although we can live on carbs as an alternate source of fuel. I actually appreciate leaps in logic. Meat and fat normalized my A1c, rid me of joint aches from arthritis, and caused my weight to drop by over 40 pounds. Not sorry that this interferes with your message. By the way, I do still eat a modest amount of vegetables, simply because I like the taste. It doesn't stop me from being a carnivore. You eat your plants, and I'll eat a few with you. Only a few, though. Meat heals.

Ignoring how you comnpletely missed the point of what Dr. Chaffee was saying, I'm going to listen to the man that is an actual doctor, has a god like physique after being carnivore for nearly 20 years, and doesn't look like a scruffy ghost.

[haroldpiratpartiet]

and you look so healthy, have you seen yourself in a mirror lately?

[Scarboni]

Anthony Chaffee is correct not this guy

[RichardBRiddick-nx]

You didn’t actually address the appendix argument though did you.

[kacpersoon]

You can't seriously believe that we're herbivores 😂😂😂

[CrumptonGaming]

Haven’t met a single vegan that could run a marathon all I’ve seen is people who say they feel healthier and then years later when it finally catches up to them they regret it multiple influencers have died from going vegan Bear Grills stopped eating meat for a while by the end of it he could barely do a pull up if you want the most nutritious diet your going to eat meat and plants not just plants if you have a problem with killing animals Ight whatever welcome to life but I get it fair enough but when you try to say only a plant based diet is healthier all around it’s just wrong it can maybe help very specific imbalances or something but you also lose a lot of other stuff trying to fix those small problems

[wriker]

Well you carry on and eat you veggies.

Way too many people in comments on YouTube videos disagree.

So many health problems clear up for people like myself.
So I'll stick to what works and it's not plants.

its also a ludicrous jump in logic to say that the video said we're carnivores because we have an appendix. That isn't what the first video said. Humans literally aren't herbivores, or carnivores. We're OMNIVORES. We consume and absorb nutrients from both plant and animal sources, (more so from animal sources)

[panchopuskas]

We're all different. My wife eats a plant based diet and she's OK with it. I tried a vegan diet and it destroyed my gut. Years later I'm still out for yourself what's good for you....

10 plus years of being vegan, 3 years before this as a vegetarian…swapped to carni diet only 3 weeks ago and feel more healthy than I have in over a decade.

I guess they let any Tom, Dick, and Harry dress up in a surgeon's outfit these days. 😂

[Cool_guy-o]

It is a jump in logic. This only means that we were able to eat raw meat a long time ago and lost that option. We are still designed to eat meat, as well as plants. Idk about you, my family will get digestive issues with too much fiber. We'll also feel unhealthy with too much meat products. Everything, and I mean absolutely everything in moderation. We are omnivores, not carnivores or herbivores

[outerbanks]

Spoken with religious fervor like a typical vegan... I'm eating mostly meat these days and every health marker has improved... If this shortens my life I will get to live feeling good...Carnivore might not be perfect, ( though so far it is for me) but the average modern diet is slow poison...Low to no carbs is restoring my health without starving myself

[outerbanks]

We're not..NOT... CARNIVORES just because some vegans don't want us to be carnivores.... You make blanket statements that are no more substantiated than this guy's out-of-context suggestion about the appendix.

[maddog]

Well, humans didn't survive the ice ages by eating grass. As for your fibre statement, we don't absorb it it goes straight through us. You need to check your self before trying to slam someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

[stevelong]

Why don't you show the good doctor's face? Are you afraid of legal repercussions? Where are your sources? The good doctor has presented his sources. The good doctor is credible. Do you doubt your own credibility?

[biggreenblob]

Idk about WE being carnivores, but I certainly am. No plant toxins for me.

[Vincentorix]

We are omnivores. We eat fruit, nuts, vegetables, and meat. What we should not be eating is refined carbohydrates and processed foods.
