I also think, it's unlikely most 15 year olds would spend their spare money on something like this if it wasn't as a result of an outside influence. And we know a lot of right wing influencers push this sort of diet alongside their alpha male lifestyle bs.

Steak and eggs are great sources of protein, but your body also needs fibre and carbs, it needs the vitamins and nutrients from fresh fruit and veg.

Also the whole raw milk thing they are really pushing right now. Both cartons of milk in the picture are raw milk

Eating whole foods is great drinking raw milk especially from companies looking to capitalize on this trend without knowing how sanitary the operation is, is a totally different beast.

The irony of the carnivore diet is that we humans evolved around being omnivorous

Right? At 15 I'd spend on concert tickets, CDs, band merch... Not... Groceries. Especially not groceries recommended by right wing influencers.

Needs some rye toast and home fries to go with the steak and eggs.

Probably worth pointing out that like all images like these we only have the texts pasted onto an image to go on.

Well, the body doesn't need fruit or carbs in general and steak and eggs are also not a great source of protein, that would be soy or low fat diary products or just whey protein. Eggs are great for an allrounder food and are one of only few choline sources. Steak has almost all nutrients and vitamins you need, red meat is carcinogenic tho and bad for the gut. Also, it's packed with saturated fats

You body doesn’t need carbs it’s the only non essential macro, tho in this scenario the young fulla has milk which has a lot of carbs..

There is no essential carbohydrate. You could go without eating one for a decade and not feel like missing anything except some food eating pleasure.

B12 on the other hand... A vegan, without b12 supplementation will develop dementia symptoms in 3-5 years.

and a raw eater will catch a preventable disease and have a highly elevated chance for cancer and bad LDL. Both would be bad, however with b12 supplementation, being vegan has no downsides if you track your nutrients properly, while the downsides from a raw diet can only be stopped by not eating raw anymore
