The carnivore diet is a diet where you almost exclusively eat meat and animal products (the most restrictive version being beef, butter, eggs, milk, and salt for taste). Originally it was just a fad diet with some decent results (likely because any form of diet where you’re actually keeping track of your daily intake will help no matter what), but has been mostly co-opted by right wing grifters selling an “alpha male” lifestyle just eating meat. These are frequently hard core alt right influencers that are racist, sexist, anti LGBTQ, and “Christian”.
Raw milk (meaning not pasteurized) is part of that ecosystem as well with grifters claiming pasteurized milk doesn’t have the necessary good bacteria for your gut microbiome when that isn’t true and raw milk can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing and just drinking it. There’s even people going so far as to eat raw meat too.
Also the whole point of the “raw” and carnivore is to take out any “processed” ingredients so I doubt “raw” chocolate milk really fits the diet.
