Currently western adults get 70% of their calories from plant sources (this is the Standard western diet) - https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2024.1424912

This means the average person is plant based already (or a hyper-herbivore since its >=70%).

This replacement of animal nutrition with plant nutrition has been going on since the dawn of civilization but it really exploded with the replacement of dietary fat with seed oils.

This makes carnivore scary to people, they have only lived a plant based lifestyle. I think it's silly to blame modern metabolic dysfunction on the remaining 30% of animal nutrition in the diet.

As much as I would like to blame Ellen G White for this , it's far more likely this is simple capitalism at work - have a product, find a market, expand the market.

If someone you know is having a serious problem in metabolism or inflammation - it would be reasonable to encourage them to try a new eating pattern (reduce that 70% pbf), instead of chasing away the last 30% abf. If your sick, just know you have already tried pbf.... you might as well give carnivore a 30 day trial and see if you improve.
